Jill and Christopher - A Celebration of Mediocrity

atcDaveatcDave Member Posts: 2,636
I'm just starting anew run of the whole BR Saga. Once again, I'm looking at a minor challenge, nothing so bold as a no reload or solo. But just, creating a pair with only 70 total stat points each. The characters are not built to be "bad", just mediocre. Like, ordinary folk caught up in a huge adventure.

In particular, Gorion's Ward (Jill), is nice but dim. The *biggest* part of this challenge will be how to write anything from her perspective! This protagonist is simply not a deep thinker. The whole write up will be posted at this site here. I would love to hear from readers with thoughts on a writing/role playing challenge.

    Take minimal stats! 😜 For example, I played the following game:

    Difficulty: LoB
    Name: Weera, lawful evil human wild mage.
    INT=9, STR=DEX=CON=WIS=CHA=3.

    Actually, for some races and dual/multi classes, even minimal stats could be reasonable! 😎

    My goal was not to make *bad* characters. Just ordinary ones.

    What's the challenge?

    I said minor challenge. As I said, the challenge will be role playing a bit of a simpleton. Even more, writing from her perspective.

    Sorry, that interests me more than making an actual *bad* character.

    I now have the first update for this run posted at davesgaming.blog. I think I found a bit of Jill's voice. This is so different from how I normally run! I'm trying just to keep Jill's perspective *simple*. I may slip into broad comedy a time or two, but its been fun trying.

    I have also tried, on this update, to play around with the generative AI's video renders. Obviously this is still early for the technology, but I think it gives some fun results.

    Still working through my mediocre run! Having fun with it, and the renders. The latest update is available at DavesGaming.
