grayestofghostsI have, again, not written much, haha. I am still feeling out this idea and am thinking of integrating stuff from my DnD character(s) concept(s) because... while I have gotten so involved in current DnD character creation, I an always disappointed by how little of it I actually get to play because DnD by nature is a slow game, everyone else has their plans, we have limitations as to how well we can play our characters, even, and there's always a significant amount of randomness.
So why not? Why shouldn't I just steal ideas from my DnD ideas and put them into my fiction?
Well... I'm always worried about cross-contamination. What I write and how I write is so different from DnD (nothing wrong with that), that I'm worried I'll change my ideas so much but still have them connected in my head and get them confused... this is possibly a silly idea, that I should be able to keep them straight, that ultimately I am only playing DnD ~4 hrs per week and the rest of the time my brain can be full of whatever writing garbage I like, but still, it can be hard to convince myself of this.
