#Your sister graduated magic school and now works as an advisor to a power dragon king

[sweetenby]

my toxic trait as a dnd is player is that I'm obsessed with making fantasy communities and if you leave me alone with my thoughts for too long I'll turn my characters simple backstory into a whole fucking town that has its own history and culture and then walk up to my dm and be like 🥺 "Can you put this in your world please?" 🥺

#My first dm ruined me this way #Bc he gave each of the players their own side missions based on backstory n love that I did this #bc I've written like half of the quest for him already Including NPCs #I invented a religion in his world to justify some character choices I made for my barbarian #And he just rolls with it and it's incredible #Like I go 'my character has a twin sister who went to magic school' #And 'when my character left her tribe she joined a crew under the captain Tommy Wisgnome on his ship the antechamper' #And then my dm goes cool #Your sister graduated magic school and now works as an advisor to a power dragon king #And Tommy actually is a former agent to a disbanded CIA like government agency but still retains some powerful contacts #Anyway yeah they'repowerful but if you want help from either of them you have to deal with the politics they're deeply embroiled in #Like God fuck yeah #I still have to get used to the fact that other dms don't Do That #Bc I'm over here crafting nuclear story bombs of NPCs from my backstory on accident #Bc I cannot stop fucking thinking about absolutely ridiculous concepts that have nothing to do with the main story #And then putting them in my characters backstory bc they sound neat #Like girl help me #I pretty much always turn my characters family/caretakers into NPCs bc like how you were raised influences you a lot #And I like being like my character is this way bc they grew up around these ppl #And then my brain took it a step farther and went #Okay now I'm going to create a whole ass setting bc my character acts this way bc of the culture they came from as a whole #Like hello!!! #It feels rude to just be inventing cities at someone else's table but also I'd love it if my players did this #I have no idea what is proper dnd etiquette #Anyway currently having big thoughts abt the village my teifling gnome is from
