You sit patiently, expecting a private message at any moment. There’s a knock at your door. It’s me, dressed in a surprisingly well made wizard robe, arms full of books and dice.
fools. this new halloween update confirms what we always knew. the junkenstein’s revenge mode is just their dnd campaign. symmetra is playing a tiefling.
me: hey, make sure to give me your characters backstory so i can include it in the campaign, don’t worry about sending too much or making it too detailed the more you send me the more I can work in about their past
…I’ve seen like three separate Critters refer to their dnd characters, all rangers. If you watch Critical Role and play dnd, reblog and put in the tags your favorite character and the class of your dnd character. Testing a theory…
As a writer, you should try to give your villains plausible motivations, backstories, etc. A villain is much more interesting if they think they’re the hero of their own story.
As a DM, this is still great advice in theory but in practice you should ABSOLUTELY NEVER DO THIS because your players will discover your villains’ tragic backstory, look at their motivation and find it sound, and end up adopting the villains, going rogue from the Celestial Intervention Agency to avenge the wrongs done said villains and ensure their freedom, accidentally kidnapping the President, and plunging Gallifrey into a civil war.
