RE: An Unfortunate Adventure! #freewritemadness: Day Four
You know, I've just remembered that I once played a Ranger named Draven in a past D&D campaing, he was the only of his party to survive till the end... anyways, a realist take in Katéa’s situation could have been done well, but since you said that you never planned an actual general plot, then humour is better, it allows to "go with the flow"
Well, that bodes well for my Draven! :D
I've never played tabletop D&D, but played some PC games with the mechanics. Like Neverwinter Nights. Good thing I didn't name him Bishop, we could be in for some chaotic evil trouble. ;)
I think the "realist" approach would be good if I was doing a dark and gritty story. I usually do. But when I write those, I fall too deep into my character's perspective and end up becoming depressed myself. That was beginning to happen with this chapter. I didn't want that to happen so I figured, just keep it light, keep it funny, add some dark bits here and there, but do it in an amusing way.
Yes! Much easier to "go with the flow!" :) Which is necessary for this type of story; done by the day and not exactly thought of in advance.
