Mom was an avid table-top role player, starting her adventures in the late 1970s and continued for as long as she could find a game. I’m slowly making my way through these papers and posting them as I uncover them.

Personality Traits

My favor, once lost, is lost forever. I’ve lost too many friends, and I’m slow to make new ones. I face problems head-on. A simple, direct solution is the path to success. I can stare down a hell hound without flinching.

Ideals

  • Family. Blood runs thicker than water. (Any)
  • Independence. I must prove that I can handle myself without the coddling of my family (Chaotic)
  • Independence. When people follow orders blindly, they embrace a kind of tyranny (Chaotic)

Bonds

  • The common folk must see me as a hero of the people
  • Someone saved my life on the battlefield. To this day, I will never leave a friend behind.
  • I’ll never forget the crushing defeat my company suffered or the enemies who dealt it.

Flaws

My hatred of my enemies is blind and unreasoning.

My thoughts

“Player name: Desirae”??? I have nothing but questions. Was this a name she was going by with the group she was playing with? Was it a character that belonged to someone else, who dropped out of the campaign? Desirae was the name of a character she started in 2017 or so. Maybe it was a mix up?

I have no idea.

I also know next to nothing about the D&D Beyond system other than it was launched in 2017. So Tallie is at least from any time between 2017 and 2020.

Tucked behind Tallie’s character sheet, I found the following notes.

Magic item list

  • Essence of Ether
  • Drow poison
  • Ring of Warmth
  • Cloak of Elvenkind
  • Ring of Protection

Ruled sheet with numbers and oddities

This sheet notes a “potion of climbing” on one side and a few other random items. “Level up 7” sounds like she made it past level six here. Surrounded by various calculations, this could have been from an eventful gaming session.

At the bottom of the sheet are several phrases: Rol 4 D&D 3 Gam 2 (scratched out), Roll 4 Game 3 (also scratched out), and finally Roll204Game3. Underscores were my mother’s way of denoting capital letters, when she was printing. I’m assuming that these were most likely passwords to whatever Prodigy network space she may have been using.

On the opposite side of this sheet is “Level 6 Wed 1st 3pm”. Below that, likely unrelated to the game is the note “Wed – 8 leave at 10. Lanching [sic] Mich” followed by a cryptic number “1400”.

My thoughts

Tallie seems a lot like Millie. Hm! But the backstory is a bit more straightforward. Maybe Mom just wanted to get into the game.

I’m tempted to psychoanalyze the personality traits she lists out for her characters. I don’t know how much she was into acting or true role playing, but this is her second character who was solidly independent and not so much with the “let’s be friends” attitude.
