I know they don't do it out of malice. I even sent them the meme as well. They're (mostly) a good group, but it would be nice if they roleplayed in character more. I think a few of them are pretty new players though, which probably affects that.

I don't often self-insert. This character is probably the most self-insert I've done in the 10 years I've been playing D&D and most of that is incidental (him being raised in a theocratic city was really just because the addition made his story more fun). The gender thing would just be nice, and it's a pretty minor aspect of what your character is, I would think. Besides, I think there's always going to be aspects of the player that leak into the character, even if you don't start off that way, it's the nature of the game.

I'm not out to them, or most people in my life...

Recently been trying to introduce my partner to Doctor Who while he's staying in Australia. All the episodes used to be up on BritBox because it's a British show, but they dropped it earlier this year. Now the options are:

Binge (season 4+)

Amazon Prime (season 5+)

Stan (all new seasons, but also the only streaming service I don't have access to)

Disney+ (only 3 movie-length specials)

I hate it. Anyone one mine? I'd gladly donate it all away.
