Inspired by this thread, I made a gdoc of a starter document to turn into a FAQ because I didn’t want to do my work at my actual job.
Mood and I feel @tted as I do that all the time :')
-
@sao Questions I suggest, having been a baby priest:
- What is an example of a quick like two sentence prayer to be used when someone is randomly like ‘hey do a blessing’.
- Where do I live? Do they feed me? Are there servants? Do I have to live there?
- Can I just decide to do a religious event or do I need to get permission from someone, like the Archlector or Legate?
- What would a typical day’s duties look like? Also, like 3-5 ideas of things I can RP doing or say I did or reasons to be in a place.
- Which specific lore files should I read to get a basic intro grasp on theology?
- This isn’t a question, but something I didn’t know: ask leadership for funding for any Faith events or plots or projects.
That’s what comes off the top of my head. As I got to a place where I was comfortable with the theme, however, my biggest issue playing a Priest was that if you’re a garden variety Priest, ie. not a scholar or Templar or similar, there isn’t a lot… to do. You’re really on your own to come up with stuff. I do not know a solution to this, or I would have used it at the time, it is just a thing that is a barrier.

@sao I really thought your sig said ‘Let the challenge be -you-’ and it felt fitting.
-
@crawfish my sig is from Up the Down Staircase, by Bel Kaufman, the book that made me want to be an English teacher, until I was halfway through the teaching school program and realized being a teacher would destroy me and went to law school instead.
-
I play a priest and I appreciate this.
Granted I should KNOW stuff already playing an NPC priest.
-
Porter and I had what was a super enjoyable scene for me where we shot straw bales from the trebuchets in the Templar Yard and I totally want to do that again! With like pumpkins and things that smash messily. I def want to set up a couple of these as events this summer when college softball is over. -
-
@sao Great book!
-
@Narson I didnt shoot a catapult at Preston’s birthday but I would 100% shoot a catapult at another event.
-
@Snackness like… a war?
-
-
@Narson feel free to use the baby catapult. It is clearly part of your present. Feel for the poor npc Templars who had to get thing down all the rectory stairs.
-
@sao NO CATAPULTING BABIES
-
Ok totally unrelated thought: how do I make it fashionable to show up to shit in my carriage and four?
-
@sao model carriage and four=Faith of the Pantheon
-
@Snackness but I can’t model a bench!

I MISREAD THIS, CARRY ON

Is it weird that sometimes it’s easier to play my NPCs than my PCs? Helping seed metaplot info or other character info is easier than actively forming character interactions.
ETA: Probably as RL has gotten insanely hectic. It’s not that I hate interpersonal interactions but yeah.
