jadedmusingsDear fellow gamers,
You say your character isn't vital to the plot and that nothing happens for you. Well, I have this novel idea, it's called roleplay. I know, it's crazy, but hear me out. You have to do more than show up for the session. You have to interact with the other PCs and the occasional NPC. It is from these interactions that individual plots are formed and/or the overall plot is affected.
Of course, if I were to be honest I would say that all of us are just cogs in the wheel right now as we're all just going around from town to town warning leaders about the coming war. That doesn't leave a whole lot of room for individuality save for, shockingly, the interactions between characters.
In short, if you want more action, do more than just react to events. Help shape those events by your roleplay, and put some effort into it. It might help the poor GM too.
Apathetically Yours,
Jade
