An Unnamed Soldier – Coping with Fictional Trauma in Character and Out with Jeffrey Baker (D&D5e)

Characters Without Stories

Jeffrey Baker brings an unnamed soldier to the table. The unnamed soldier is a grizzled drill sergeant who motivates his party through tough love and (bardic) inspirational speeches.

Jeffrey and I discuss playing older characters with life experience, roleplay bleed and after care, and being the party dad.

This character is built for D&D5e.

Jeffrey Baker is a dad, LARPer, and game designer; Jeffrey has been playing TTRPGs ever since his older brothers would allow him to join. His creative well consists of using his personal life, theatre training, and LARP background to make fully realized characters.
