Alex: So, you’ve looked through the Players Handbook. What kind of character are you thinking of?  
Mette: A cleric, I think. Kind. Supportive. Helpful for others.  
Alex: Huh.  
Mette: And a half-elf. Everyone loves half-elves.  
Alex: And what if you weren’t trying to be who you are in life? What if you could choose –  
Mette: Tiefling Rogue Assassin.  
Alex: – and maybe I didn’t want to know that.

Alex: So, you’ve looked through the Players Handbook. What kind of character are you –  
Roddy: Monk multi-class with Rogue. Death on two feet, no gear needed, shock and awe, baby.  
Alex: Maybe try and go a little bit against type?  
Roddy: Gnome Wizard.  
Alex: Okay –  
Roddy: High Elvish Druid.  
Alex: Or –  
Roddy: Dwarvish Warlock.  
Alex: Now you’re just –  
Roddy: I’ve already figured out min-maxes for all races / sub-races / classes / sub-classes, in each combination. The only problem is that I’ll advance in experience at 37.5% faster a rate than –  
Alex: I have a pre-gen. You’ll use it and like it.

</div>

Alex: So, you’ve looked through the Players Handbook. What kind of character are you thinking of?  
Kiln: I’ve been a fighter, a savage outlander, been an enforcer for Della of the Hard Chamber, served my turn as an acolyte of the Three Temples, and sworn my soul to the demon Vel’kat (though only so that I could destroy him). I’ve studied the scrolls of the Seven Sages, infiltrated the treasure houses of the Screaming Lions, done my duty in the sacred Groves of Samakee –  
Alex: Multi-classing that many directions is going to be kind of weird.  
Kiln: You don’t get it. I’m really not sure this game offers me any new experiences.

Alex: So maybe the solution is to have someone else DM. I mean, I suppose I can roll up a character myself – Human, maybe a Sor–  
Joey: Nope. You have to be DM.  
Mette: You are capable of managing many scenarios.  
Kiln: You are not bound to any preconceived notions of race, or gender, or any true path of proper behavior.  
Roddy: You’re imaginative, and you have some awesome support tech to create a sweet full-surround simulation for the game.  
Joey: Also, you’re sneaky and both arguably out to get us and also interested in our finding our potential, which makes you the perfect DM.  
Alex: Okay … you’re not wrong.

Alex: Appears so.  
Joey: (Glancing at Mette) Yyyeah, I think I’ve [heard this story before](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/that-jason-quill-interview-background-cutscene/208). It always ends really weird and uncomfortable.

Alex: Joey, I know you’re my friend, and that we are part of a team – even, in some ways, family.  
Joey: Well, yeah.  
Alex: And I realize social behaviors are instinctive for you, that you just do them casually, without giving them any thought.  
Joey: Uh-oh.  
Alex: Just trying to say … grooming behavior makes me very uncomfortable.  
Joey: (Stops searching Alex’ hair for nits) Godammit.

_The next day…_

Tahi: Hello class, I am your new philosophy professor.
