Sorry everyone, I've been busy the last couple of days so I didn't get a chance to post an update. It's not super exciting. I showed up for the slot 0 game on Monday at the guy's house as scheduled. We played. I didn't mention the incident and we all had fun playing D&D. It was kinda...

Unfortunately, yes. Everyone involved is in their 30s. Except maybe him. I don't honestly know his age but he is the youngest of our social circle and might be 28 or 29. But, most of the original drama happened when he was around 20 and I was in my late 20s. I kinda wish I could blame this on...

Yeah. Technically, I am the event coordinator. Someone at the store places the order for the adventures but they know absolutely nothing about organized play. They accidentally ordered Encounters rather than Expeditions the first month because they didn't know the difference. They don't even...

As a side note. Here is where we stand, his gf has contacted me through other people to let me know that our Sunday game is going on as usual, that they plan on continuing to come on Tuesdays to the AL game and that I should avoid mentioning this incident to prevent more drama. We are supposed...

I judge people on their actions. I'm allowed to have opinions. I'm not a robot. I don't like him. So what? I don't let my personal opinions color my judgement. Which is why I kept DMing for him despite my opinion of him. I would have preferred not to play with him but he didn't break any rules...

It's my opinion that the guy in question has the temper of a four year old. He gets very angry whenever things don't go his way. But he is under the belief that while it sucks that things don't go his way and he'll spent time complaining about it no matter who is DMing, that when I DM, the cause...

Since I've been out of the thread for a while, I'm going to go ahead and agree that it COULD be both. I certainly could be a horrible person. But she was angry at me for insulting her bf and given his temper, my guess was that she was afraid that accepting a ride from me would only make him...

Both. He complains constantly about the difficulty of adventures every time his character gets close to dying or takes a large hit. Though he does it less often when his gf is DMing. My roommate complains about it sometimes but mostly he says he doesn't mind tolerating it when he's DMing. He...

I would likely say "you know there's no plumbing in this world, right? The guards aren't going to believe that. They might fall for something else though." Still, I believe that it's the player's responsibility to come up with that "something else". Getting through a challenge like this is 50%...

Yeah. I tried that once already. This is the second blow up from this player. Our Sunday group used to be ran by me. I ran an adventure that had a murder mystery in it. I didn't write the adventure, it was by wotc. Either way, the adventure doesn't give you enough information to solve the...

I admit that my DMing style is much more "realistic". I don't like saying yes for the sake of saying yes. If someone tries to convince the guards of a castle that they are a plumber and there is no such thing as plumbing in the world, the guards like likely going to arrest the person on the spot...

That's what I'd like. Though I suggested the idea to my roommate, the other DM at our public games. He seems to think that attempting rational dialog with the person in question is impossible. He has known him for just as long as I have. He pretty much said that attempting rational dialog with...

Some more background for people who care. I've known his girlfriend for about 15 years now. I've known him for about 8. I met him when I started running public games of 4e LFR at the store that his girlfriend worked at. She broke up with her ex bf and didn't have a place to go so she moved in...

I've posted about one of my players before. There is a fairly long thread about it. However, I felt this would get lost in that thread and I wanted advice on a specific event that happened this week. First, a little bit of background for those who haven't read the old thread: This player...

Honestly, I see the same number of power gamers in my home campaign as in OP. But that's mostly because almost my entire home game are the same players that show up to our public OP campaign. I've also been volunteering in, playing, and running OP for so long that my home campaigns tend to...

There's been hints of it. I suspect from what they've said that there will be two methods of creating a campaign. You can quick create a campaign by selecting small, medium, or large and a tileset and it will generator a "campaign" using that tileset with monsters appropriate for it. Then...

I would pay to watch this happen. I can see it now: "You arrive on the scene just in time to stop the ritual that will summon the demon lords and wreak havok on Toril....when you see Drizz't standing there on a pile of drow corpses with a carrot in his hand, nibbling on it. He says...

Actually, the OP is interesting to me because the last time I received such a huge reaction to my D&D playing was from a girl I was dating. She was in Medical school studying to be a doctor. She was rather into me and we had gone on 3 dates and made out a bunch. But then she messaged me...

The adventure definitely HINTS that it should be done this way. It says multiple times that the PCs will be in town searching for the location of Cragmaw Castle. When I read it the first time, it confused me...why would they be in town looking for the location of the castle when the goblins in...

Why would giving out quests be "doing it wrong?" Also, those are all still quests...they just aren't very epic. Which means they aren't very fun. To me, saving the world is fun. Killing 5 orcs because they want a pie is not. Framing the king, deposing him and taking over just means that...
