Message: <blockquote data-quote="Matita" data-source="post: 6850293" data-attributes="member: 6826003">So recently I was playing D&D with my lovely group of friends, we had come back from a trip we decided to spend the night at my house because why not and a few hours later we went out to eat and one of them said "why haven't we been playing D&D this whole time? It's 12 AM, I say sure and grab my mat.   So during this one of my friends told me he hasn't had "fun" since our very first campaign. Our very very very first campaign, when our DM didn't make Spell Attack Rolls because he  didn't know how so Firebolt always hit, where I had a Paladin with CHA being his lowest stat, and where We didn't apply bonuses to our weapon attacks (Attack Bonus, STR or DEX bonus) The DM hadn't bought any of the books yet and refused to use PDF's so we were totally in the dark, we've since obtained those books and know better/are learning.   Anyway. He thinks everything we do is so one sided from combat encounters to social interactions, this was obviously awkward to bring up in the middle of a session randomly but we pushed on while y'know asking how he felt.  So I've since tried to make the game more appealing to him offering more stealth options since he's a rogue, dangling a few easily pick pocketed coin purses.  I think he's having more fun I'm not sure how to bring it up, but I wanted to know has a PC ever come to you and told you he wasn't enjoying himself/herself? Obviously someone out  there has but what did you do about it?   What was the exact scenario and solution?   I also want to kind of say though in situations it's his own fault for not being creative or taking initiative in a situation, where there's a lock pickable door, maybe a cast of Acid Splash or  an Alchemist Fire can take it out or maybe he could scale the building to get in, or throw a dead body through it I dunno, when I play I try to think of interesting solutions to problems,  (like druidcrafting Peyote in a monsters face.)  But you never wanna tell someone you like (Especially a friend this close.) the equivalent of "Get Better" when they express an actual feeling.  Any help or advice would be lovely <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.   TL;DR  Has a PC ever come to you saying they haven't been enjoying playing D&D/Pathfinder/Dark Heresy etc... as much as they used to? What was there problem and how was it fixed? Would you say in anyway it was their fault?</blockquote>
