Author: GreatDinn

Guest Author’s Note: “I think this is a problem a lot more DMs would have if they were friends with a local reality warping deity of chaos. As it stands, we just have to contend with the rote fears of judgment, comparison, and opening up to others about a thing we really love with the possibility of rejection.

Also, I used to be really frustrated by the SRD version of Wizard, what with the minimized spell list and limited capabilities. Then I DM’d a series of first time players in a row, and I realized ‘Oh hey, maybe my level of experience is making me misjudge how complex this looks from the outside.’”

Transcript:

Spike: No, Dash, you aren’t bad at this! You’ve just been really really unlucky.
Spike: And being lost is fine because the magic system is a whole other rule set, and…
Spike: …and I’m realizing I made a huge mistake.
Rainbow Dash: What do you mean?
Spike: sigh I made you a wizard because it’s my favorite class. And I didn’t stop and think about how complicated playing a wizard is.
Spike: You and Pinkie were the only two who had played before. But I can’t make the game real. And I got worried you’d find playing like this…boring. As a result, I threw you in the deep end without a single explanation.
Spike: That character sheet looked impossible to you, didn’t it? Like a textbook, or tax documents.
Rainbow Dash: I…probably didn’t send it out with my weather reports…
Spike: The lifting that “probably” is doing could put Celestia out of work.
