COLUMBUS, Ohio - When you “lose yourself” inside the world of a fictional character while reading a story, you may actually end up changing your own behavior and thoughts to match that of the character, a new study suggests.

Researchers at Ohio State University examined what happened to people who, while reading a fictional story, found themselves feeling the emotions, thoughts, beliefs and internal responses of one of the characters as if they were their own - a phenomenon the researchers call “experience-taking.”

They found that, in the right situations, experience-taking may lead to real changes, if only temporary, in the lives of readers.

Context: Two twin Bariaurs (think centaurs but with goat bodies instead of horse bodies), male cleric and female bard, walk into a tavern in a new town at level 1. Both brand new players, just trying to get a feel for the game and have fun. The bard approaches the inn keep.

Bard: I was wondering if you would be okay with me playing for your patrons tonight and entertaining your, uhh… patrons.

Inn keep: Oh? A musician are you?

Cleric: She is, truly the greatest in the land. *rolls 19 for persuasion*

Inn keep: Should be quite the treat! House takes 15%?

Bard: Deal.

DM: So roll a performance check, and tell me what you want to sing.

Bard (OOC): Okay, aaaaand that’s a NAT 20 FOR PERFORMANCE and I want to sing THIS.

She plays this video for us: https://youtu.be/wXKKlNoNdQY

The table erupts in laughter.

DM: You begin your song and immediately everyone in the building is hooked. The entire crowd pounds their fists and calls WAY HO back to you every time, people are leaving and bringing their friends back and cheering for more, the tavern has record breaking numbers aaaand *rolls d4* four children are conceived at the inn that night.

image
image

It also had a second fancy entrance???

Not only that but there was like a secret upstairs that’s apparently open usually, but it was too late for us to go up too (I’m deffo gonna go back and check that out because come on)

Like what is she hiding 

But yeah I think I found either the most cursed or fanciest McDonalds in America

Also!

image

It was a pokestop!

This is a rare example of when zoning is a good thing, because it forces the generic McDonalds to look like surrounding architecture

I cannot believe op didn’t call it a McMansion
