Calling them by their class because you don't remember either
I always revert to calling them by their race/ancestry or using racial traits like long ears for elves. It makes playing old characters more authentic, lol.
I was in a party where one of the members was a trans woman (abt 2 years in) and her DND name became her actual name, she was testing it out with us 🥰
I mean, thats how most online gaming works 🤷
I just bluescreen though.
I play BG3 with a couple people that I met here on Lemmy and I know their real names. I call them by their real names. We all do. But the second BG3 starts I just blank out. Last week we were playing Peak and I could not remember one of their names for the fucking life of me and kept calling them some different nickname based off of their username.
let's hope they don't follow your profile :p
I dm’d a steady group at my FLGS for a couple years with people I didn’t already know. It took an embarrassingly long time to learn some of their real names. Definitely that last one for me.
I personally refer to the characters as seperate entities, directly.
Damn! Mark Mercer strikes again!

Air. I ask you to ponder this.
Ohh, I've been playing d&d with my coworkers this whole time (also assigning them fairly shitty characters).
Stage IV: Calling them by their character's name cause egg.
I forgot their character names, so I just give them nicknames. The power of playing a dumb character.
There was a player in my group who's character name and real name were fairly similar, so I ended up calling him his character's name a lot. Now he has a new character and I keep calling him by the old character's name by mistake
