Bluesky devs: we have heard your requests and finally added DMs to the app!
me: oh god
Bluesky DM: *notif pops up*
me: *clicks it reluctantly*
BS DM: okay so uh you all meet at a tavern. and it's raining i guess?
I haven't played in ages, but should I get the chance, I'd love to play a legendary ranger who's renowned throughout the land... but is actually a total fraud. But he speaks mimic, and made a deal with a powerful mimic to pretend to be his armour & fight for him in exchange for getting the corpses.
E.g. so is always prominently and insistently calling everyone "FRIEND!" to try to get the mimic to not eat them (& still has to roll it), & everyone rolls perception in combat to see if they noticed the mimic attacking.
Basically, the character's only actual skills (charlatan background) would be in linguistics and persuasion, and most of roleplay would be about gaslighting the party into thinking that they didn't see things that they actually saw, and coming up for excuses for the character's odd behavior ;)
Nat 20 is more fun than botching :)
DM: "The villager charges you with a sword."
Char: "I swore an oath to pacifism; I refuse to kill him."
DM: "He'll be there in seconds."
Char: "I fire an arrow to disarm him."
DM: "Roll."
You are approached by a mysterious figure that is obviously three kobolds in a trenchcoat. They offer you a pouch of gold if you will go and rescue their pet dragon, which has been abducted by evil humans.
Long have we gone with the normies referring to our hobby as "S&M" or "some weird satanic fetish thing". Now we participate with the aid of a BS DM? Glorious! Our kink destiny has come full circle! ((NGL, this would be a far superior feature for Bluesky to add!))
