Oh, one last D&D opinion - characters that don't want to be heroes but are forced to be the chosen one? It's played out. It's boring. Characters choosing to be heroes because they've been in the mud and they've finally figured out what is RIGHT? That's interesting. I mean, play whatever you want to play, god knows I've played tons of reluctant heroes, but if that's not the story your player wants to tell, don't make them do it anyway.
@monicadominator I played in a brief game where my character had been raised in an order of knight-equivalents where it was expected that they’d do good in the world. He started the campaign actively trying and wanting to be a Good Guy, but was just inexperienced.
@dapperbear ah yes, I didn't mention characters that are actively trying to be heroes from the start, because I genuinely do love playing them, because doing the right thing is so HARD. I admittedly don't play them as much, but I do have a real soft spot for them
