I had an idea the other day: what if Van Richten and Vilnius were the last survivors from a different adventuring group that was trapped in Barovia 30 years ago? You could drop hints (e.g. diaries and trinkets belonging to specific characters) throughout the story, and then reveal the full thing at Van Ricthen's tower. Thoughts?

Title. I'm about to turn 18, and I've known I'm ace for about 3 years now. I've already come out to my family (who've been pretty supportive) but none of my friends know. I'm tired of all the sex jokes my friends throw around, and I know some of them think I'm either gay or an incel. Is there an easy way to come out?
