It's more like I love my Portuguese dishes. Pretty much 3/4 of those dishes contain some form of meat. And if it doesn't have it, the taste is lacking.
@NexTerren Not quite an answer to your question. But I love this site easydamus.com/alignment.html, really gave me a better idea of the breadth of possibilities each of the 9 alignments have.
It was never a yes/no answer. Needless to say I asked them for yes/no if they can so I can better organize stuff. But nope, they did not follow through. It all boiled over about a month ago, and one person said I was being passive aggressive, a self-centered asshole, a drama queen. It pissed me right off. And I just left the group the next day and haven't talked to them since really.
However over time, whenever I would say something in the chat, like if they want to play a new game that's on sale, if they want to play a round of Dota 2, etc.... They would either never respond or give the bullshit answer of "If you can get other people to play"
@Fibericon Sometimes it's better to end relationships. Like for instance, this one rather recent. A group of about 5-6 people I got together with nearing the end of High School, because we played a lot of Dota 2. We must've played almost every night for about a year.
Yes and on the other end of this coin. If I am ever a DM/GM and doing things unfairly or things that ruin the mood of the group. I would love to know, since chances are I am not realizing it.
@NexTerren Friendship isn't an exact science. If he can't understand what his problem is, and won't adjust because he's selfish and wants to be the "hero". Not a good friend in my books.
Exactly. There's no point in pushing people to not have fun, just when the there is one problem person who ruins it. People will start to rue going to game night, and before you know it your campaign will come to end.
@eimyr Yes I agree with this. It's a different playing field when you play in an RPG. Especially when dealing with your party which sounds like they want to do more RP, rather than dice rolling for combat.
@doppelgreener Thanks for the read. But trust me when I say that my DM and his friend will remove this trouble player should they need to without hesitation. This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last. My DM even took him aside later into the first session, to tell him to stop meta-gaming.
However both of them have been on wits end with this guy in real life, many times. But I've only known the guy for about a year. However I can feel it from the DM that he is really not happy. And probably if this guy screws up one more time he'll be kicked out of the D&D at least
Well, I'll tl;dr this as much as possible. Basically there's 6 people in the group including myself. I met the DM in RPG club in High school, he's a few years older than myself. He has two friends who are also part of the group, both are fine and great people. One person I brought to the group, and she's great. However number 6 I met once I started hanging out with the DM and his friend.
However the worst thing about that game, even my DM is not happy with. Is there's one person who in this group we've had trouble with before ranging from changing dice rolls, to hard core meta-gaming. Who showed up on day one with no chracter sheet, even though this has been a campaign months in development. And many times the DM asking us to get concepts to him over those months.
Oh no I didn't let it go. I kept it for sure and we're going to roll with it. Just my two cents of salt. But in any case It's going to be a great game for sure. :)
@BESW Ah. Yea I was kind of salty about my latest campaign. I'm playing a rather interesting Tiefling Paladin. But didn't want to play it with having another Tiefling in the party, just because I don't want to screw over the party by having 2 Tieflings in a party of 5. So I would change. Come in on first day after working over my characters backstory. Another person shows up as Tiefling.
@nitsua60 It could totally be heading into a room where they need to scale down a large cliff (which for a giant wouldn't be hard). But while enroute down the cliff they are greeted by a flying and or other type of monster that could cause them to fall. Or need to make some quick decisions to prevent damage. Such as the forcing any casters to use a levitation type spell. Make that last battle a little more intense having needed to spend spell slots and or possibly have taken some damage.
@nitsua60 I've always felt that caves could tell untold stories that have been hidden for a long time. So possibly they start going through the cave, fighting a few monsters of the such, that appear to be coming from a long unused underground temple (carved into the cave walls and such). Before reaching as far as they can possibly descovering some juicy new plot or learning about this area. Could be a nice place for a hook. Like they discover an old tome with magical properties.
@SevenSidedDie Just good to have some tried and true practices I can read from. Then to be able to use that inspiration to make some "hopefully" interesting encounters and situations. :)
@SevenSidedDie Thank you, just a daunting task without some helpful techniques to be able to create interesting situations. Or to be able to differentiate between good situations or bad ones.
