My approach as a player has been to try and consider myself a guest in the house of the Head Wiz and be respectful of the staff and try not pester them beyond a gentle, occasional, nudge if warranted.
If I’m doing that and shit there sucks anyway, I feel confident it’s not my fault and I leave.
You will be miserable trying to demand attention from people who either can’t, or don’t want to, give it to you - and you will make them miserable in the process.
What were some memorable scenes you’ve had over the years? Silly, emotional, outrageously boring, frustrating beyond all reason - I dunno. All of it and more!
Give a little synopsis of what went down and then say a few words about what made it memorable for you.
Oh no my what about my hog pit nostalgia
Really don’t care.
Full-send, hard-in-the-paint effery across the boards.
Even if I don’t trust the GM.
This is a good question actually. I’m not consciously aware of anything I do for the specific purpose of making things fun for others.
But I do try to not ignore anyone, and at least acknowledge what others are doing in the scene, if not react to it out right.
I also try to pose something to react or respond to and not make the other player(s) carry all the burden of keeping the scene moving/interesting.
In plot-related RP, I’m always willing to modify or completely drop any super-great-guaranteed-success idea I might have in favor of what’s going to be most collaborative.
In actual practice, the above usually manifests as me being the silliest shit possible and some people have fun with that and others roll their eyes so I hard I can feel it across the country. Can’t please everyone.
