If my boss emailed me in space while paying HIS debt saying my wife's cooking is mid as hell, I'd just crash the ship and kill myself

((Ding ding! Dwarf Fortress! Got it in one! You are correct sir! It's a cult favourite of mine, and an excellent character and story generator the likes of which I daresay only an in-depth ttrpg game can surpass, albeit lacking in some visuals and difficult to get into. On occasion I've hijacked a character or two over to a dnd setting to play with.
Ahh there are too many characters to count. Perhaps my longest running character and one of my first while I was still learning how to play was a very basic human fighter, but a very chaotic pirate who always had to make a perverted comment at the worst timing, with a complicated past and a heart of gold, a very 'no man left behind' kind of guy.
My partner also played an evil inclined cult raised monk with a genetic, slow acting and terminal disease that was slowly degrading her body. The whole party was suspicious she might be some sort of undead race before we learned it was simply her illness. Hung my head in shame after that one.
I'm also very attached to a rogue I developed. I had such an idea for thieves cant that I was building alongside the DM that was sign language-like, so the character was the type to be very animated with their hands when they talked, on the off chance that someone they also came across was from the thieves guild too. That campaign fell through before I had the chance to play them tho, so I'm waiting for the chance to recycle that character again.
I'm also very fond of a new bastard but that would be too spoilery for this exchange and I am getting extremely long winded.
You will forgive me but I'm going to be splitting apart the ooc and the ic into separate asks from now methinks. This letter was huge when I finished it with both attached.))
((I actually quite like seperating ooc and ic into two different asks, gives me a way to write longer texts on both ends without feeling bad.
I’ve heard a lot about Dwarf Fortress being an amazing story generator, but as you said it is quite difficult to get in to and whenever I watched stuff on it I was confused throughout the entire experience, I’d say I will put it on the list of things I want to play but that list is so long already, that I shouldn’t pretend I will ever get to the end of it.
I do get that one of your favorite characters was based around a very simple concept, I’ve found that my favorite characters all were very simple too, but I really want to fall in love with making and playing an incredibly complex and unique character one day, though I suppose even simple characters are all unique due to the person sitting behind the mask.
Being excited to play a character just for the campaign to be cancelled has happened a few times to me already, I have a backlog of backstories sitting around, and worst thing is that I will never use any of them since I always make a new one, should a new campaing be in the works, anyway.
The mention of a bastard is already a clue enough, along with other things I have read, but I am enjoying this too much to lift the veil of secrecy just yet, therefore I have another quesion to ask.
I personally have tried and failed to DM several times, I am eager to try again and also very much want to try out other systems, but my group and I already get to play rarely and I don’t really want to waste their time with my experiments and abyssmal attempts at DMing, but what is your experience with it, do you enjoy it, what’s your experience with it and do you ever get the urge to try out other systems?))

((Drow have become a particular favourite of mine in the last 2 years or so. My fondness for elves oddly enough comes from a game about dwarves that is very anti-elf propaganda especially in the fandom.
Tieflings are very fun! I'm one of those heathens who entertain the idea of taking a lot of creative liberties with their visual design. After all, what is the point of playing the ttrpg imagination game if you've no imagination eh.
I shall let that comment slide… for now… but watch out!))
Dearest Barkeep,
You're a fun one, I'll give you that. You wish to discourage my intrusions, and yet also wish me luck in not being caught. What's the matter, old man? Are you so bored buried under all this paperwork that the only thing that entertains you is a break-in? I'd hate to disappoint you, so I'll look forward to receiving word from you once you've discovered where I've hidden this note. Can't make it too easy on you, but I doubt it will prove much of a challenge for a knight such as yourself to find.
And the questions? My dear barkeep, it would be too dead a giveaway if I were to answer honestly. But I'll ponder the idea of leaving you a clue.
As for dishonest answers, I'll listen to whatever you listen to, perhaps I'll even sit outside the door and lend an ear to the next bard you fancy to spend your gil on.
I just love white. Pristine pure white. All this snow everywhere as far as the godsdamned eye can see. I don't know how you can stand this view. There's nothing to see. No wonder you're bored.
Coeurls are lithe and sneaky. And cute. Like me, no? Hmm. No, on second thought they'd be terrible at stalking your halls unnoticed.
A lovely little cherry tree could liven the space up in here, alas it would probably die by how dark you keep the space. Pity.
I only drink pure spring water. Hydration… love it.
Feel free to ask more if you feel so curiously inclined, although I cannot guarantee you'll receive the truth in turn.
Unfortunately I must be off now, I believe I just heard your front door. Returning from the Humming Grove cafe I expect.
Adieu.
// Your description of a game about dwarves that’s very anti-elf reminds me of Dwarf Fortress, I haven’t played the game myself but I’ve seen some stuff on it, then again, Dwarves hate on Elves in most pieces of media, so it could be any game.
I too love taking lots of liberties with the design of my Tiefling characters, it’s one of the reasons I like them so much, the “official” limitations that WotC put on Tiefling skintones and the kind are naught but a long forgotten “suggestion” to me, I played through Curse of Strahd as a snow white Tiefling with sun-like yellow eyes, he was a Life Cleric, I know it sounds pretty basic and way too overboard with the holy theme but it was immensely fun. (Thinking back on it I could’ve taken so many more liberties, like horns that form a sort of halo, or take the Tiefling variant that has wings and make them feathery angelic wings, at that point I could’ve just played an Aasimar though, but ah, perhaps it would have been too much, although maybe there could have been a subplot about the citizens of Barovia seeing my character as a sort of angel having come to save them, sounds too main charactery though and I wouldn’t have liked to take attention away from my fellow players)
Ehm, I rambled a bit there, but to conclude the ooc part of this, dear anon, please tell me about your favorite DnD character, no matter if it was yours or one belonging to someone you played with! (If it doesn’t give too much away, of course) //
A good day to you, my ever so secretive patron.
I will say, when I didn’t find a letter of yours in my paperwork today I was a little disappointed, yet when I was getting ready to leave my office to attend a meeting with my Count I got stung by a thorn of the rose you placed in my Uniforms pockets, for a second I thought it was poisoned and I was victim to an assassination attempt, but when I found your letter in the selfsame pocket my suspicions were proven false, or were they?
Your confusion on the topic of your intrusions is justified, but the explanation for it is quite simple, I do not mind your trespassing in the slightest, I quite appreciate this exchange of letters, but what kind of Knight-Captain would I be if I didn’t take precautions after there has been a break-in to my office?
Many knights of similar positions in other houses of Ishgard keep their office under constant watch, I am already a lot more forgiving than them by only having my knights check my office if they pass by it during their patrols, though that is quite frequent.
Your answers are intriguing for sure, though I shall not tell you which parts exactly, I shall keep my suspicions about your identity to myself until I have actual proof, therefore I cannot let the opportunity to ask more questions pass, even if they may be answered with little truth.
So tell me, do you fancy any particular book, or perhaps even a series of books, I noticed that someone browsed through my collection recently, it must have been you.
Are you perhaps a combatant of any kind, and if you are, please do tell me what your preferred weapon is.
And lastly, I do not expect a clear answer to this, since it would be boring, why are you so inclined to stay anonymous, you put quite a lot of effort into not revealing your identity, even when you have supposedly visited my tavern already, or have you?
Perhaps we shall see each other in my tavern tonight, but I wouldn’t know, would I?
Signed, Mephiston Godefroy
