Roleplaying: 5 Challenges of Playing an Old Person

Posted on February 21, 2023February 21, 2023 By Brody No Comments on Roleplaying: 5 Challenges of Playing an Old Person
  1. Technology Knowledge: One of the primary challenges of playing an old person in a futuristic setting is that they may struggle with technology. In a world where technology has advanced significantly, an older character may find it challenging to understand or use advanced gadgets, robots, or other technological innovations.
  2. Different Cultural Context: Society may have evolved in different ways than in the present day. An older character may have grown up in a very different cultural context, and understanding the nuances of this context can be challenging for the player.
  3. Physical Limitations: Technologies may be available to help older characters overcome physical limitations. However, it can be challenging to portray these limitations accurately, such as mobility issues, hearing loss, or vision problems, while also considering how advanced technology might impact their quality of life.
  4. Changed Social Roles: Social roles and relationships may have changed significantly. For example, a character who was a respected professional in their youth may now find themselves marginalized or out of touch with the changing times. It can be challenging to navigate these shifting social dynamics in a way that is authentic and engaging.
  5. Unique Life Experiences: Finally, an older character may have had unique life experiences that set them apart from other characters. They may have witnessed significant historical events or had interactions with important historical figures. Capturing the nuances of these experiences and conveying them in a compelling way to other players can be a challenge.

Posted on February 20, 2023February 19, 2023 By Brody No Comments on Roleplaying: 10 Character Flaws That Can Benefit RP
  1. Insecurity: Someone struggling with self-doubt and a lack of confidence can create interesting opportunities for growth and development.
  2. Impatience: Someone easily frustrated and lacks patience can be a liability in certain situations and create obstacles for themselves and their party.
  3. Stubbornness: Someone unwilling to change their mind or consider new ideas can create tension and conflict in group settings.
  4. Naivete: Someone overly trusting and innocent can be taken advantage of by others and can make costly mistakes.
  5. Prejudice: Someone with biases against certain groups or individuals can create interesting dynamics within a group and lead to ethical dilemmas. (NOTE: Use this with caution and be prepared for negative in-character consequences.)
  6. Greed: Someone driven by a desire for wealth or power can create opportunities for adventure and conflict.
  7. Cowardice: Someone afraid to take risks or confront danger can be a liability in certain situations and create challenges for themselves and their party.
  8. Recklessness: Someone who acts impulsively and without considering the consequences can create chaos and danger for themselves and others.
  9. Arrogance: Someone overconfident in their abilities and underestimates their opponents can create opportunities for character growth and development.
  10. Codependency: A character who is overly dependent on others for emotional support and decision-making can create interesting dynamics within a group and lead to moments of vulnerability and growth.
