My girlfriend is also my DM, and she helped me get over the weird feeling of 'doing a voice' for a character. It's all in good fun, don't be so judgemental. It's just a table full of amateurs doing improvised voice acting.

iunno about grimdark fantasy voice, but I do love the excuse for ridiculous accents. I had a half-orc wood oracle, Goro Ogrog, with a cockney accent, and he was constantly drunk and complaining about how he's slowly turning into wood and won't be able to drink anymore.

Have fun with your shit.

You really need a good dm in person as a beginner. Then it becomes more natural each game you play.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have here an example of 'somebody's opinion.'

Remember this moment if somebody ever tries to argue with you that "opinions are never right or wrong," because this one is wrong.

it's ok to be bad at games and prefer to just sit around shooting the shit with other weirdos and not really having your performance judged or anything

Not to be rude, but is there any reason to write Naruto fanfiction?

I mean, if you're going to go to the trouble of writing original stories with these characters, why not tweak the names and mythology a bit and just make an original story out of it? Who knows? You might even be able to publish. Just come up with a fancy name for ninja that the publishing company can trademark.

Fanfiction is strictly superior to "original character do not steal"

I choose to write about Naruto because I want to write about Naruto. That's why I write about it. It's about being involved in the fandom, meeting people who are similarly inclined, discussing things, etc.

Ive played with lots of people who never did accents and didnt care about adding special effects or anything like that. It was more by the numbers and moved a lot faster that way.

It was fine, still fun.

In our group, only about half of us do any sort of voices. One of our guys actually went to a performing arts college, so he's really good at acting out his character, which makes it more fun to act along with him. But it's not really a requirement, I doubt anybody would be upset if you just used your normal speaking voice. The guy in our party who's essentially the Lawful Good leader archetype just uses his normal voice.

@catboy

You don't need to get into the imagination stuff, just beat a random dungeon -

https://www.kassoon.com/dnd/dungeon-map/

DC = Difficulty Class, which you roll a D20 for and add your modifier.

When is says something like [Boss Easy] just click the link and it will give you a random Boss. Same for traps, encounters, ect. No imagination required, just try to clear it without dying.

You can write a fanfiction and still get published. Trash like 50 Shades exists.

I really like this DM right here.

https://www.twitch.tv/deadaussiegamer

He doesn't narrate his games with a "grimdark voice," though I like the voice acting that he does through his campaigns. Also he has a quick-witted sense of humor. He makes me, and his players LOL all the time. He has talent.

Anecdote: a friend on mine got kicked out of a dnd group once apparently for "not taking it seriously enough" because she drank wine while playing

Did the wine make her ditzy? Like, there are things to pay attention to while the game is going on. If someone asked her what she wants to do next and she was all like "HAHAHAHAHA I love yoga pants!" in a group of people that are actually trying to get through a campaign, then this isn't unreasonable.

My guess is they were way harder on the larp side of things while she was super normie and that made them uncomfortable so they were just looking for an excuse. I never saw the other members of this group, this is just conjecture
