Alright, so I'm only moderately traumatized...and I might just be addicted to the pain. I've been playing a game with Link for the last year and, honestly, it is one of my favorite story based experiences of my life. We've been playing Curse of Strahd, and umm, LInk might be too good at being a manipulating evil bastard. With Link, it has truly been a pleasure being constantly worried my character is going to either die, be cursed, or worst of all, fail yet again to succeed when he is most needed. Somehow, Link has made me enjoy this torture, both by bringing the story to life with amazing characterization and in his accursed ability to give my party just enough rope to hang ourselves. This is perhaps Link's one great skill (among his many other GMing talents), and is the reason that it is so worthwhile playing with him. You will never feel like you have been pushed into the bad situations you've managed to get yourself into...instead, you will always feel like the depths of despair you have found are somehow mostly of your own making. And when we do actually succeed? Well, that feels even more amazing...and is thus far almost always been followed by being drawn deeper in by finding something else going out of control. It is psychologically draining in all the best ways...and I've written pages and pages of character interactions because I've been so invested in the world that Link built around us. I can't recommend the experience more.
