[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6657411, member: 5143"] I figured I'd give people who are interested a little bit of an update. Our Tuesday OP game appears to be going back to normal. I'm still not running any games for the player in question. It's been working out well. On the other hand, we started a new home game campaign on Sunday...we started with the first session of Princes of the Apocalypse with both the guy and his gf playing in it. One of our other friends who is fairly new to DMing is running the game. Short form is that he managed to do a total party kill during the first session. We all died because the adventure has a 1st level section with a CR 2 monster in it. The DM decided to combine the encounter with another encounter and killed us all. The gf got super angry over it. She is playing a character who uses a chair as a weapon(having taking the Tavern Brawler feat). She feels that she didn't power game enough to win, obviously and now needs to roll up a character that is completely power gamed in order to deal with the obviously overpowered adventures written by WOTC. The guy in question agreed with her 100% and felt that the adventure is stupid. The DM was going to make us start over again from the beginning of the adventure with different characters but appears to have had a change in heart and is admitting that maybe he made the encounter a little too deadly so is assuming we won and is allowing us to continue from where we left off. He is also giving the gf special bonuses to make her character more effective while using improvised weapons. We'll see if that makes the two of them happier. [/QUOTE]
