from Finding Atoria · host Malcolm O'Stephan, Tori Selznick, Arcadia Deschane
Send us Fan MailWelcome back to the table! This week, Tori, Arcadia, and Malcolm are joined by Jess for a discussion on how to align your character with your taste, your table, and your game. Jess shares great insight into the many aspects of character creation and development—and the occasional friction that can come with bringing a PC to life in your TTRPG.The group dives into what factors are important to keep in mind when settling on a build to play, while also acknowledging that things don’t always pan out the way we expect. After the break, Arcadia leads a conversation on what we can do as players, GMs, and tablemates when course correction needs to happen.Many games have mechanics and options built in to help players grow uniquely and adjust to fit their taste. Sometimes, though, the player needs to be open and bring those difficulties to the GM and the table at large. Knowing what to expect beforehand can only help so much, and a receptive table can be integral in making that correction stick—improving the game experience for everyone and, sometimes… helping you realize that you may not be at Your Table.https://licensebuttons.net/l/by-nc/4.0/88x31.pngRise (Epic, Inspirational, Cinematic) by Artur Aravidi is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.Support the showhttps://licensebuttons.net/l/by-nc/4.0/88x31.pngRise (Epic, Inspirational, Cinematic) by Artur Aravidi is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.Contact Us on Our Socials:FacebookInstagramA production of WordLeaf Media
