wildfey:

one thing that i love about cr is how when they have guests new to the game whoever sits next to them will help them out a lot, without just telling them how to do (a difficult boundary to navigate)

in particular i noticed that in the last episode that marisha was subtly encouraging sumalee to make a nature check, by asking in character if nila knew anything about the plants they were looking at. i think for new players it’s often very difficult to remember when and how to use checks, and reminding sumalee through roleplay was a really good way of allowing her to use her skills as a druid. it’s a neat trick i’ll have to remember in the future.
