Mayhaps I shall!
Hail Chaos!
Shhhhhhh
I will literally let my table sit in silence before butting in.
Like, I’ve trained myself to hold back so much I struggle to get a word in edgewise in more proactive groups.
The problem is definitely they’re introverts, but I can’t force them to talk.
No table should have a main character, but having standout characters is pretty common.
Sounds like my Akita
Of course there’s ways to be better, but getting mad at the active player kinda justifies them calling them out.
I’m a very social player and even I can feel like I’m talked over sometimes in a very engage RP-heavy group, just because I’ve trained myself not to interrupt people.
I like a bit of 50/50 as a DM, and my players adore what I do sometimes.
Legit great ideas and easily implemented.
