@Himitsu_no_Yami TTRPGs let people enjoy the power fantasy of having good social skills
But yeah, it should be fine to say that since you're new to roleplaying, you'd be more comfortable describing character actions rather than word-for-word dialogue
Also the people in my group tend to like it in a way that (to use your example) where I'd be like "I sidle up to the dwarven prince and say Hey, does that beard go all the way down?"
The one thing I have going for me is that we're an (extremely) small group usually
like there's 3 of us total, counting the DM (who also has a PC of his own)
@MikeQ I can understand that but (possibly due to having social anxiety IRL) I always find myself scared I'm gonna say something stupid
@MikeQ A lot of my friends use the detached narrative forms a lot despite having been roleplaying for many years. It's not training wheels, it's just a style.
I'd just be careful about hedging it so much that they don't come to accept it as an ongoing thing and are constantly waiting for Himi to "outgrow" the style.
@Himitsu_no_Yami As for "do"s and "don't"s, it usually boils down to respecting the group's social contract. Everyone has different preconceptions, so it helps to discuss & ask about the expectations and what is/isn't ok. Common examples: no antagonizing players, no stealing, no starting PVP in a co-op game.
So my players are setting up a large nexus of guilds from my empire and 1 or 2 they made up themselves across several cities.
They are having a hard time sending long messages to and from each other, and hiring a mage is not an option so how would you guys/gals set up a multi-use system to send...
I'm having trouble finding the rule for one of the bulleted items for the Dungeon Delver feat:
You can search for traps while traveling at a normal pace, instead of only at a slow pace.
I can't find anything that talks about searching at a slow pace. In which book is this referenced?
