@howyadoin I’ve been struggling with this, I get that it’s sometimes hard to immerse yourself in these worlds. But buy-in? That’s sort of a requirement to run a horror D&D campaign, so I suspect it’s no less the same for an MU*.
Particularly, I’ve been struggling with how my character is supposed to react to this blasé character in question. Another difficult topic are the characters who have quippy one-liners or otherwise unserious comments in serious scenes. Big scary dragon that’s wiped out three kingdoms is now approaching its fourth along with all its brood of whelps, and a character just blurts out how they want to adopt one as they’re rampaging through the farmlands.
