I'm bad at the role playing part, suggest a character or trait to separate the P from the C (programming.dev)

Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!

There's always a Vow of Silence, more facial expressions and gesticulating than funny voices.

Totally would if we were in person or on camera!

Not even on camera?!? Are you playing DnD or being catfished?

[-] Piatro@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

I know them outside of d&d

Can you truly know a person... but sure, I may not have been being wholly serious.
