  • Yes. Because I just woke up in a cave, surrounded by strangers, and was given the opportunity to either walk into the forest on my own to try and find a way back or to go with these people to find out what the hell happened to me.

    Its your responsibility as a player to get involved in the story. You designed your character. You decided to have them be argumentative and hostile to the story as a whole. That is on you, not the DM. The DM did the best they could with a player who refused to engage with the story that you all agreed on.

    This is some heavy main character syndrome shit…


  • Bro, you let her DM for the first time in your group and then you decided to not engage at all with the storyline. She panicked and wasn’t sure how to bring an argumentative player back into the fold so she prevented you best she did.

    I’m kinda with her, man. It’s your responsibility as a player to engage with the story. As a near forever DM, this type of shit from my players is exactly what would get you removed from my table. We’re all here to tell a story together. Part of that is the willingness to tell that story together. It is not the DMs responsibility to play to your characters specific personality to get them involved when the DM is running it for everyone. That is asking way too much from your DM and is, honestly, really self-centered of a way to go about things.

    YOU designed your character. It is YOUR responsibility to design them in such a way that they’re interested in the story. NOT the DMs.



  • Sorry for the late getting to this but I’ve got over 500 messages in my fuckin’ inbox…

    I’m with you. The behavior is genuinely one reason why I haven’t bothered with a lot of anime. The few times I have I’ve been criticisized like a motherfucker for it being dubbed over subbed or a certain version or whatever and I got exhausted and checked out entirely.
