I don’t think I have the chops for D&D or other tabletop RPGs but I could make a good DM’s assistant. I don’t play the game but I sit and listen and then after the session the DM can ask me for ideas.

Here's an unsolicited rant.

I live for psychologically accurate characters. There is nothing I enjoy more than taking an ordinary OC of mine and adding and adding to it and reframing it until it looks as much like a real human as possible.

Although I haven't been doing that as much recently, due to being mainly focused on making my universe bigger as opposed to fuller, I still always try to connect the traits of my characters to events in their pasts, and decide what traits caused the other traits, et cetera. You know, the Freudian way.

The problem arrives when I apply this same excitement towards my D&D characters. I'm not a very experienced player, and although I'm very good at getting into a character's head while writing, I can't improvise around a personality that isn't mine. All my D&D characters are self-inserts, to make it easier for me ("what would I do in this situation?" is usually an easier question to answer than "what would this other person do in this situation?", at least in my opinion).

If I want to make my character psychologically complex, that means I have to start digging into my own subconscious, which we all know would result in me witnessing The Horrors Themselves. So it's all one-dimensional sillies for me

(thanks for reading)

This makes perfect sense.

I do aim for psychologically complex characters myself as well, while trying to mix it up with different personalities. But I'll admit there are definitely some traits I tend to use again and again because they're easy and fun for me to role-play while also making sense in the context of a party based adventure story where the characters have to willingly throw themselves into peril.

there was a tiktok I made a while ago basically saying "your abusive ex boyfriend is more likely a misogynist than a narcissist" and while most people agreed some said I was victim blaming(?) and that I couldn't know what their ex is like, and while obviously I don't, every fucking person describing their narcissistic ex is describing a typical misogynist. ask yourself, is this behavior you associate with narcissism directed at women or does he treat his male friends the same way? is his general functioning in life impaired?

many people don't seem to know this, but a mental disorder is NOT based on symptoms alone, it's based on how much the symptoms actually impair you in daily life. most people could look at a list of mental disorder symptoms and identify either themselves or someone else with them. as far as a narcissistic personality, we all know people who appear more self absorbed than others, but this is typically subclinical narcissism (presence of narcissistic traits without significant impairment of functioning) which is not a disorder. there is also a misunderstanding of what npd is. a narcissist is not a supervillain invincible to emotion. npd is a defensive reaction to trauma that lead to deep insecurity and fear of being seen as weak or vulnerable. so narcissists aren't actually "in love with themselves" at all and often are diagnosed when seeking help for other issues such as substance abuse resulting from their struggles.

this focus a lot of abused women in online pop psychology have on narcissism is particularly concerning because it completely glosses over misogyny which is literally a huge factor in violence against women. people really only know misogyny as a surface level thing. they don't know it can lead to family annihilation, for example, and is one reason most family annihilations are committed by the husband. it's always "this man is a sociopath" "this man is a narcissist" when the man's behavior is driven by ideology. I am so fucking tired of everything being tied to mental illness and left at that. you know what this leads to? courts "fixing" abusive men by...giving them anger management therapy. guess what? it doesn't fucking do anything because the problem isn't mental instability leading to anger, it's targeted, purposeful abuse. we are getting nowhere

losing my mind at this amazing story from r/dndmemes some people’s dnd adventures are just. So Fucking Cool

here’s the link and the story, it’s Amazing

“Jesus christ eat the goddamn mac and cheese.” scowls the hero “I can hear your stomach growling through your armor, you know.”

The villain blinks “You-”

“Are feeding you, yes. If all I wanted to do was punch people and throw criminals in jail, I would’ve become a vigilante. Heroism involves kindness, dipshit.”
