The only naive mistake on any players’ part would be playing with this guy in the first place

I actually really like this use for alignment, as the thembo that has been laughed away from several online games because I like the concept of Drow trying to leave the surface world in a better state for the next one to escape the Underdark. The slow death of racial alignments has been so fucking vindicating.
I remember playing DnD with my bf’s parents and family friend, all old school players, and they were all baffled that I wanted to play as a kindly full orc druid. The dm was so unprepared for me to try and talk to the bugbears we encountered that they genuinely didn’t have any story planned for them.
I imagine this has a lot of the same potential intersections that my tiefling druid concept had and I adore this concept if you were really gonna lean into how prejudiced most druidic groves tend to be presented where goblinoid and orc-adjacent races are concerned; and how this prejudice isn’t borne of Silvanus at all-- but man, if a DM admitted to me that they had nothing for an action a non-murderhobo would take, maybe it’s just my being used to Fallout-style DM’ing; I think I’d lose a degree of respect for their pen. Like fuck, at least improv something.
To his credit he did improv stuff, I even ended getting the bugbears to team up with our party, he just admitted that he really hadn’t planned for any of us to do anything like that.
At least there’s a silver lining then; I kinda hope this DM kinda took that as a learning moment.
