Don't know how it works with dnd but in GURPs the DM can only can influence the PCs by influencing their dice rolls in contrast to the NPCs social skill roles.
This reminds me of in our current campaign where I was given a book of misspelled spells like wish being wash for example. One of the spells was Speak with Dead or something like that so I used it on one of my allies and all of a sudden, he was speaking to his Dad. The spell was actually Speak with Dad and he had an awkward conversation with a man he hasn't seen in ages and learned that his mother died. And this was soon after he lost his dragon companion. So this character has a lot of traumatic stuff happening.
Well it took me to twenty six years to find people who actually wanted to play and then it took us another four years to actually get our acts together and our schedules align. So, just hope and you'll find your peoples. I believe that Meet-Up the app has DnD groups there if you want to find your local group.
Omg no this reminds me of the way my sorcerer keeps triggering our fighter's PTSD. So the fighter has PTSD from space clowns cause he's a giff. So recently my sorcerer has been using minor illusion to make the sound of clown horns behind him and it's hilarious.
I just started listening to the pod cast a week ago. One episode every day basically. God damn I was laughing so hard after GumGum asked “why did you leave me?” And Bart couldn’t answer LMAO 😂
So basically his Dad left home before Gum Gum was born and then "Dad" said he Returned to the family home, not to meet his son but to take his dog to "The Farm" (Euthanized) Dad ran away before birth, never met son, returned to murder dog, left again.
Where can i find this session?? Or season 1 or whatever because on their channels they only have season 2 lol which is past this session with kyborg and gumgum etc and they play other characters lol
