    D&D General I need a D&D counseling session! Help! (Re: Update ("Argument-Stopping Protocols" -- please advise!))

    @Sabathius42 Do you mean to say that your comment saying you thought we were trolls was an April Fools joke? I ask because I am not clear whether your mention of it was an explanation of you poking fun. I usually enter my thinking so seriously that if people say something seriously I...

    Thanks for the post, and the letter I received today. The mood and message you choose to lead with is consistent as always. Thanks for that. I agree with your 2 points. Well said. Personally I wonder why you say "unprecedented" in relation to change in character? I expect it means you...

    I can only agree with what you're saying from that perspective. My question was specifically not from that perspective. Unfortunately your post treats me as if I said the opposite of what I said. You're describing my unfortunate behavior of the past, and I acknowledge that problem. I asked the...

    If you are saying we need to keep our roles separate, that advice has already found assent in me. If you mean not playing together anymore as a conclusion is the only option, that seems to go too far. That is something we would have to decide. To say it in a way I expect you would agree...

    I realize I have a question to add to your post. And I would love to hear some people at least verify the validity of the point I would like to add. I have to agree with your assessment of my situation - with this specific DM. I would add this too, that also no DM wants me to act out about...

    I've come to agree with you. That is my take away. I still have the problem that I want to experience those things as a player. But I now know how I need to behave differently in this situation. It's clear to me.

    @Sabathius42 I don't yet know what OP means. Could you clarify that? I want to say at the beginning, so it is not missed, that everyone that I've seen speak on this forum has made significant progress in developing real awareness and social skills. There is a lot of self-development going on...

    I hear your perspective. But I don't experience specific things you say as a particularly accurate conclusions, for us specifically. How are your comments a help? I'm finding myself wanting to ask you also, in retrospect of working this post through: How is what you are saying to us supposed to...

    Thanks billd91. This is much more helpful. The tone of your last post was one where I had to overcome feelings that got stirred up, just to get to what you were sharing. This post doesn't do that. And that is a help to me. I have been wanting to ask you this, and ask people on the forum in...

    You can say that, but it isn't helpful to me. Nothing will fit my characters, that is the point. It can't be forced. Pictures are his interest, not mine. Sorry the way I express my experience puts you off. I expected a lot of understanding on this one. But you're entitled to your take. Perhaps...

    You make a sound argument. There is merit to your position. Myself, following your logic, I would prefer to make easy change where it makes sense, long sword to short, or to dagger, etc. Whenever I look further at this 'problem' I find then I'd need to create a mechanic to sell, trade, buy...

    This was very helpful to me, about the spells, thank you. I had forgotten about the modifiers to damage. I missed that. It shifts the bar a bit. I wonder why the writer of the Guide wrote them off so quickly, if you see these spells as still buff? On experimental ideas: I know, I am a bit...

    Thank you. You are a sharp person. You got me on reading the PHB, time wise. It is a matter of also finding the drive to do it. But I like your responses. Could you please say more about #8: what do you mean, bribe people with magic to behave? Oh yeah, and what do you mean by paragraph...

    You guys are great. I lament how long my post is, but had to make a choice against much more time to condense it. If you like the topic, we appreciate the honest perspectives.

    Another short post from the 'problem-player' I hope people saw my prior, larger post before reading this, to know who I am and why I am sharing this context. The campaign log & pictures A piece I intended to mention, but forgot until now. There was mention of me dissing my friend over...

    To our D&D community, I am the so-named ‘problem player’ - here to offer support to this process. I decided to make an attempt to make a contribution to this discussion. Are you surprised to find a post from me? I am the ‘problem player’ that my friend Dungeonosophy is at his wits end with...
