  • “It’s the hope that’s important. Big part of belief, hope. Give people jam today and they’ll just sit and eat it. Jam tomorrow, now – that’ll keep them going forever.”

    AND YOU MEAN THAT BECAUSE OF THIS THE POOR GET POOR THINGS AND THE RICH GET RICH THINGS?

    “’s right,” said Albert. “That’s the meaning of Hogswatch.”

    BUT I’M THE HOGFATHER! He looked embarrassed. AT THE MOMENT, I MEAN.

    I know they don’t do it out of malice. I even sent them the meme as well. They’re (mostly) a good group, but it would be nice if they roleplayed in character more. I think a few of them are pretty new players though, which probably affects that.

    I don’t often self-insert. This character is probably the most self-insert I’ve done in the 10 years I’ve been playing D&D and most of that is incidental (him being raised in a theocratic city was really just because the addition made his story more fun). The gender thing would just be nice, and it’s a pretty minor aspect of what your character is, I would think. Besides, I think there’s always going to be aspects of the player that leak into the character, even if you don’t start off that way, it’s the nature of the game.
