Little June and Roswell after the Eleventh Hour arc (Drag it, Roswell is singing!)
[image description: a drawing of June, in profile as she sits on a tree stump. She’s a dark-complexioned girl with long curly black hair tied back with a ribbon. She’s wearing a long blue dress, holding a book against her stomach and her hand is stretched out in front of her, a small red bird perched on her index finger. The bird is singing “Junebug! Junebug! Junebug!” written in white against the white background so it’s barely visible.
so last night we met up to play D&D but a few people couldn’t make it last minute and we didn’t want to go on ahead without them so we instead did a semi-canon filler episode and played ‘Never Have I Ever’ but as our characters sat round the campfire and it might be one of the best ideas we’ve ever had
The rules are the same as usual; your character can choose not to drink even if they should, or can lie/omit the truth, and others can call bullshit or ask someone to elaborate on their story. No dice need to be rolled, except maybe Con checks to see how drunk everyone is. It requires very little input from the DM (he actually layed as the NPC accompanying us) so it’s a low-effort session for everyone. It’s actually really good for getting into your character’s head as you’re forced to improv parts of their life you might not have thought about before, and also for fostering inter-party relationships, as we discovered some of our party members had a lot in common and earned some respect for each other. Also it was hilarious because we were also getting drunk in real life
If you want to try it, here’s some good questions that we had:
‘Never have I ever…’
Fallen in love
Resented the place I came from
Pretended to be someone else
Stolen something
Broken a promise
Seen a friend die
Killed an innocent person
Fornicated with a member of another race
Been arrested for a crime
so I had a GREAT time with Andavius the other night
I can use this if I ever have a player character solve something or do something faster than I planned
roleplaying characters playing never have i ever, truth or dare, and two truths and a lie are all really, truly excellent ways to get them to know each other and to get to know them better yourself.
