🔴 ** ABOUT ME **
Hello! My name is Jay, and I am a long-time veteran of storytelling and a semi-seasoned DM! I began playing Dungeons and Dragons roughly 5 years ago and began my first ever game as the DM. I figured things out by watching online games and fumbling my way through the rules, and never looked back! I've fallen in love with TTRPG's in general and want to share my experience and thoughts with the world and community I love so much. I currently DM two separate games regularly, and continue to learn every day.


🔴 ** ABOUT THE CHANNEL **
Play Your Role is a project with the intention of helping inspire and coach players and DM’s alike to add story beats and dramatic moments into their games through basic writing concepts, interesting player character inspirations, and discussions on how to effectively roleplay in a way that helps (not hinders) everyone else's roleplay at the table!

🔎 SCRIPT EXCERPT: (This isn't important, just stuff for the algorithm) 🔎

You know, I often find D and D a very interesting exercise in storytelling, because it is so clearly a storytelling device as our most tabletop games. And yet it's so vastly different from any other form of storytelling, no other form of storytelling. Do you have a group of people creating a narrative together?

One of them is helping it and the rest are experiencing it and creating it together. The closest thing you have are improv classes, and let's be honest. Most improv is usually comedy based, not all of it, but mostly. And I personally, I love studying literature and writing and storytelling and the very art form that it is and Dungeons and dragons, tabletop games, that entire spectrum confounds.

It confuses me, which might sound kind of weird, right? Like I've literally made an entire channel talking about storytelling and Dungeons and dragons, but there's a reason for that. I find the best way for me to learn is to talk about something. Because if I talk about it, I am encouraged and forced to go ahead and go experience it and receive it.

So the reason I made this channel, I wanted to talk about storytelling in D and D is because I find it so fascinating and a very different topic than I don't really know that much about the more I learn. The more I know that I don't know. But why is it so weird and different? Well, the simple fact of the matter is that there are a lot of literary concepts that are very based in reality that just don't apply to D and D in the same way.

For example, the topic of today's discussion, character arcs, character arcs are interesting because they're basically the outline of how a character grows or changes of the course of a story or vice versa, how they change in a negative fashion. But it's how a character develops over the course of a story.
