D&D General Should I leave my friend's Spelljammer game?

[UngainlyTitan]

If you feel like asking us randos, then yes, yes you should.

I would echo this, you have multiple reasons to leave and the job and sleep are important.

 

[Chaltab]

Yeah. You have good reasons to use your time elsewise and you're uncomfortable with the lewd content. Those are reason enough, but if the combat is such a slog you're not even having fun then you have even less incentive to stay.

 

[Reef]

And on the bright side, job and the need for sleep are perfectly valid and understandable reasons for needing to bow out. No bridges are likely to get burnt, or feelings hurt.

It's always difficult to give advice over the Internet, but last year I left a group for some of the same reasons. The game was during the week and I needed more sleep. No bad blood with the others.

Had scheduling issues with a group once.
If you want out of the game, but want to stay connected, an option is to exit your character, and then drop in on occasion to play "NPC" one-offs for your friend.
Playing a "disposable" villian for a session can actually be a lot of fun (and it's not exactly a grudge match with the other players, if the NPC turns out to be one of the "bad guys".)

The bad part is, I really like this character. That’s what is making me feel indecisive.

Personally, I would never sacrifice sleep, and comfort from some cringe behavior, for a character in a game.

Save 'em in a back pocket for elsewhere

Real life comes before gaming. If your schedule doesn't allow, it doesn't allow
