*sends you to the goblin zone*

there are many people who like to walk into a ttrpg having invented a blorbo in their mind and have the ttrpg to give them the tools to realize that blorbo and all the best to them i am so thoroughly not one of those people. give me a playbook that prescribes a very specific narrative role. give me a pregen character i have to play as. give me a dozen big stupid tables to roll up a guy on. give me some god damn lifepaths !

cast me as though in a play and then allow me the tools to make the role my own!

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

plot 150 words bed-sharing 200 words smut 800 words projecting my fears, insecurities, and anxieties onto a fictional character 9,356 words fluff 150 words someone who is good at fan fiction please help me budget my WIP, my family is dying

150 words of plot seems excessive.

thank you for the reasonable advice
