Hey folks - since we’re about halfway through the campaign, I wanted to check in with everyone. This is just to make sure we’re still aligned with your goals, needs, and enjoyment as players. We did a Session Zero to set things up—so think of this as Session ½. You’re welcome to DM me your answers privately if that feels better for you.
Here are the four questions I’d love your thoughts on:
Do you feel as though your character has purpose in the current story?
Is there any backstory information that hasn't come into the game yet that you're wanting to see?
Generally are there themes or tones (more levity, less family stuff etc) or types of play (dungeons, combat in general, random encounters etc) you want to see more or less of, or do you feel comfortable with where all the dials are right now?
What's a way this game could end that'd be disappointing to you?

Maitreyi Plays Games
Maitreyi is an Indian woman in Canada, learning to be a better TTRPG GM, a better player, and a better person!
Hello there! I started getting into tabletops in 2019 and have been doing some kind of content creation as a creative outlet for a little while. My blogging days started with a Xanga.. before LiveJournal…
I love writing but I never know what to write about. Enter tabletops. There is so much to learn and so much to engage with! It’s social, but there is a big element of individual engagement if you want! It’s the perfect hobby for me!
The learning-based format of my content was inspired by my desire to ask a billion questions to anyone and everyone who was willing to answer them, and knowing that I am far, far from an expert. I am very intentionally putting myself in positions of learning and am getting a LOT out of it! I find this approach also lets me feel like I’m pulling a bit of life into rules on a page and dice rolls - and what is this glorious pasttime if not driven by life!
An I’m-still-learning-format is fairly unusual for the tabletop content creation space, but I hope it makes the whole thing feel more approachable and accessible.
