Before I even ever played my first D&D 2e game. i created a mechanical man for the system because that's what I wanted to play at all of ~11, based on I think Wizard of Oz's Tin man or some other fantasy book I was reading at the time.

Of course when I showed up to my first game that was shot down and I was handed a cleric because the party needed a cleric at the time.

I don't dream much anymore, irl, so it was quite the disconnect (beyond what is naturally expected), but in a VTM game my werebear had the item that lets her view peoples dreams (a rock you put under their head). She put it under a Lasombra's pillow, and the dream was weird and alien and had to do with lasombra nonsense.

Fun little scene, but it was almost entirely RP-based because VTM isn't built for it and the GM didn't have anything in mind until the rock came into play (I'm assuming).

If there is something wrong, or just annoying, about Alice is Missing, now would be a good time to tell me.

Alice is Missing is a really interesting game and I enjoyed both of my plays (the first as a player knowing little about it, the second facilitating for another group) I definitely recommend giving it a try, it's a very different experience to many other games and IMO a worthwhile one.

(I also strongly suspect Discord is the best way to play as it allows you to fully focus on the text communication and not be distracted by other people in the physical space.)

I just started this as a player in PBP format. My character will be a Wrench.

Nice. I bummed RL has been so busy last 6-ish days, that I haven't been able to continue, yet. This should be a fun game for PBP. Enjoy!

For a long time I was a volunteer GM at a FLGS that had an "introduction" night for D&D5. I'd argued that Savage Worlds would be a much better introductory RPG but they ignored me (and I still think I was right). Anyway, week after week of new players showing up and expecting to play Conan or Merlin or Strider. Or whatever, just so long as it was powerful (e.g., Tier 3 expectations). Then they'd get a 1st-level pre-gen and we'd try to explain the basic rules for the next hour or so (e.g., Tier 1 reality). Another disconnect that was common was realizing how complex the rules were ("All those books! Seriously?"), as many thought it would be more like a boardgame - roll a die, move a token, repeat.

It was frustrating. But it also hooked in a lot of new players. Mostly early teenage kids. But still...
