Poor Nanase. But well roleplayed by Larry!

[Darth Fluffy 302]

She looks like a puppy that's been scolded. I think she's having a hard time separating her character from herself, and is taking what Larry says too personally.

There's not much backstory for Larry's bard. 'Abandonment issues' seems to be coming from left field.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Any performer, like a Bard, can have all the abandonment issues they will ever need the first time an audience walks out.

Yeah,  this is Nanase's first TTRPG.  She really doesn't deal well with in character vs out of character actions.  She looks like she's about to cry.

My first read of that saw Tunnels and Troll RPG.

It's improv. Larry seems to be used to doing that with people who know role-playing. Nanase's just now being exposed to it.

Sadly you need to add TT to RPG for table top RPG due to the computer games that just because they have classes and levels think that they are RPG and that, even with D&D latest growth, computer RPG players still out number table top players.  I remember when "gamer" either meant you gambled a lot or played table top games.  Less than happy that it means computer game players now.
