    1st Story: As a DM myself, with the first conversation when the player kept refusing to actually play, I'd say: "Look, you wanna be a problem? Go be someone else's problem if you're not going to be a team player."

    Honestly, if *any* player ever says "I don't go" when that's the very thing needed to actually play in the first place, here is my advice to every GM on what to say: "Alright, your character ignores this plot hook to being the adventure. They go and do other things not relevant to our game. Please hand in your character sheet and roll up a character that *does* have a reason to participate in the game, or leave the table." The end. No discussion, no nothing. If they complain, ignore them just as they ignore the adventure.

    Yeah I get that there is a trope to being reluctant to answer the call (Bilbo from Hobbits for example). But if you want to try to RP that kind of thing you should probably be in RP focused table and speak about that before doing it. I don't know why so many DMs and players think that telling about your ideas beforehand is bad. It actually helps the RP and helps DM to set the things to motion.

    Yeh, I've just handed the players a new character sheet when the character doesn't have a reason to stay with the party. Though in my case it was a result of good RP and natural progression of player characters goals, and the player was a good sport about it, immediately making a character that aligned with the rest of the party. Their original character became an antagonist.

    Gross. DMs like that last one piss me off. The players do something cool and fun, nuking a room full of minions is the wish-fulfilment of Fireball, and the DM is a little baby-back bitch about it. Personally, I feel like a good DM should provide a mix of encounters. Some should play to the strengths of some players so everyone gets to do their thing, some should just be neutral with no real regard for strengths and weaknesses, and some should purposefully counter at least some of the player's strengths so they either have to rely on each other more, or employ a clever tactic to with without losing too many resources.

    Honestly, I'd ask the DM to make a point that all players must have characters who go along with most elements of a story, as long as it's within reason. This whole "I refuse to go along because it's not what my character would do" is stupid." If you didn't want to play, then you shouldn't have joined the table. You can't have a story if a character won't partake in it because "it's not what they'd do." If that's the case, they honestly have no place in the story. They're just dead weight. I haven't done any further campaigns since my one and only campaign, but this still makes me think. What was even the point of Kodiak joining the table if he makes a character like this? tl:dr Highly uncooperative characters are stupid.

    Story #1 - Should have kicked Kodiak over the entire character sheet thing. "I Don't Go" was the next Really Big Red Flag. Anyone putting up that amount of cr#p is not to be trusted, nor are they anyone you want to be in a game with.. Story #2 - None of the Party opted to warn a teammate about that starting hazard and that said a great deal about them, imo, none of it being good. Also thinking that the Sorcerer Player seriously needed to have had his dice exorcised or something. That the Monk randomly chose to assassinate that Character entirely off his own bat, and NOBODY opposed it, just completes the picture. My only question being - WHY did OP sit around and wait until the session ended before leaving? Story #3 - "Guys, this stopped being funny for me a long time ago. *STOP IT* !!!!!" And if they won't, that's the time to walk out. I'm only glad that this group of utter ****s somehow didn't put OP off RPGing. Story #4 - J traded on his "friendship" with the store owner to be an AH, store owner gets his business bitten by J's @$$holery, and so boots J. Long overdue, doubtless, but still a good resolution. Story #5 - Choosing a starting Class for a newcomer, not necessarily a bad thing. But, a little support? Helping a new Player understand and and use his Character 's abilities is such an elementary step that I just cannot believe these morons. That this group folded so soon afterwards was a lucky escape for OP. Story #% - This is entirely on that DM. Players got extremely lucky with their Fireballs, that happens. So the DM passive-aggressively made sure that Fireball can never be used again. Ever. There will be circumstances when Fireball either cannot or should not be used, and that's fair enough. But there should be other times when it might be just the remedy. This DM took it way too far, mishandled everything, and really needed to be called out on it.

    I gotta say it's weirdly funny to see how many DMs get mad over fireball when they make encounters that are begging to be fireballed. And instead of admitting it was oversight on their part they instead do the asspulls you hear in the video. Haven't happened in any of my games, but me and other players tend to share the sheets with DMs and discuss possible tactics openly. That way the DM can actually make fun encounters where it's not over in first turn, nor there is need to come up with ridiculous DM vs player bs.

    for me, "that player" was our former 5e GM - since the mantle had been passed to me, he brings nothing but the most busted, min-maxed characters to whimsical adventures. Groans and moans about if I do anything too quirky (like the entire time they was doing a knock off scooby-doo adventure as part of a mini-arc of characters getting trapped in a story book) and took it somewhat personally when he forced a mini boss battle with 3 days to prep the npc I had just a race and name for. Really pissed in his cornflakes that I turned the centaur Dantelion into basically macho man randy savage parody and tuned him spesficially to deal with the all melee party (pugilist/battlemaster, same level as party and min-maxed to try and give him a hint that I too can powerbuild but choose not to) - and got straight heated because he kept rolling like crap. However he was perfectly fine about running massacre at fuzzy tail farm (hareagons run a farm that grows willy wonka style candy being threatened by something) because it introduced and largely centered his character. Sulked through most of a resident evil style necromancers mansion because he couldn't just faceroll through (having been warned previously that if he and the other min-max player keep trying to break the game, there will be a sharp difficulty increase i.e. i raided a whole bunch of stuff from van richtens & strahd). On the verge of throwing a tantrum because our healer/necromancer got an item that serves no purpose except flavour, but looked cool (a raven feather mantle, closed with a scratched out raven eye jewel) - from the necromancers lair, that later transpires is from our necro's players "granny" (hag) to advance her plot. Our necromancer who never gets any magic items not wants for any. The fact I followed up on the parties plan to expand the coaching stop/villa we was railroaded into taking over, into a bustling little hamlet with links to villages and hamlets that we visited during one shots (and building to a confrontation with my former character, who was railroaded into taking an arms of the betrayer to nerf her) that he had instantly regretted giving us - half the table being huge Civ/RTS nerds. *Has* to be right about everything, else he sits sullenly till it's combat time. Deliberately dicks with something that might be plot important - or conversely, wastes time for the sake of dragging the plot down. Often needs things to be blindingly obvious (referances, clues, hooks, etc.) then complains it doesn't have to be so obvious. I think he hates the fact i'm a (justifiable) rule of cool GM and can improv passably. Bare in mind - I run fun/silly little blow off steam type mini-adventures and one-shots (sometimes with a little dark edge to them in places) inbetween everyone running proper games/fill in where needed.

    I've played with a party where I had to not just tell them the hook, but punch them in the face without before they would acknowledge it, but I've never had anyone (not even those guys) flat out refuse to join a quest. A few examples, perhaps. They were passing by the gate into the city where a kerfuffle was happening between someone who tried to get their tents set up outside the city and the guard who told them they need permits for that. The party just walked on by and ignored it. A young boy was following them in the street, making no effort to hide that fact but also not approaching them. They completely ignored him (and then got surprised late on when they were targets as a mark for theft). An NPC offered to help the party track down someone they were looking for to get information, but for a price. The party ignored him and tried to do things their own way. A store got mysteriously burned down overnight in the city they were staying at and the owner was outside, trying to salvage what he could, lamenting his fate. Party ignored it and did nothing about it. Very frustrating. Ok, I'm not expecting the group to react to every single thing I say is going on, but if you're going to ignore all the hooks and then complain there's not enough to do (which they did do at times), then I get a bit miffed, lol. That said, when I had a courier or somesuch literally drop the start of a quest in their lap and basically handed it to them on a silver platter, they did engage with that. It's just the random stuff going on in town that they ignored a bit too often for my liking. There's a reason I'm telling you this! It means there's something to do there!

Monk's player in the second story is an arsehole too; in what world is it ok to just decide you have a 'job' to murder someone else's PC without checking with them OR the GM. I don't think there's anything 'almost' about it; this was straight-up bullying. The GM in the Fireball story seems to have forgotten that he's not supposed to actually be against the players. I mean yes, ok, you don't have to make every fight winnable with one spell but making every encounter *conveniently* fireball-proof is passive-aggressive bs.

    Kodiak should have been kicked before it started. Being secretive about your character sheet to the DM is a HUGE red flag. Snatching his character sheet out of the DM's hands after a few seconds? Instant thank you but goodbye. Even after overlooking that, the DM handing out the plot hook and Kodiak saying, "i don't go" would be the end of him in my game. These kind of behaviors point to a person who is playing against the DM to "beat" them. In this case, hiding something they put on their character sheet to use later with the defense of, "but its on my character sheet". It goes perfectly with the "It's what my character would do" attitude of bad people (not character, making an excuse for bad/despicable actions is a sign of bad personal character. Blaming it on the game character is deflection to not have to feel or be responsible for repercussions of ones actions. Blaming the DM is another sign of this.) I would have responded with something like... "Okay, you don't go. You sit around your house or go to work or the bar, another uneventful day in your life. You think to yourself, wishing something would happen that would push you towards something different, something new. Maybe adventure. If only something like that would happen to you. The sun sets on another regular day for Kodiak." Then excuse him from the table. No DM, nor other players, should have to put up with someone who is only there to disrupt or derail the game. DM's and players. Don't keep people like this in your games. Don't make excuses or ride it out. DM's need to remove bad players/people just like players need to walk away from bad DM's.

    I kind of went through a similar situation as Ianmt22 did, had a dm pretty much made any character he didn't like or had an interesting backstory or set up made to die or fail basically telling me "if I don't like your character, its going to fail. " Now I am not saying I'm a god at D&D; far from it actually. my only other experience at D&D was with my brother when I was only a child and I think he made my character for me. At first I too thought it was me, that I was just not good enough and it caused me not to want to play, but after some time I believe it was just a shitty individual of a DM and not me that was the problem. I'm starting to get back into D&D again and just joined a group on discord so I can learn and be a better player.

    Intro: Hello Lucky. Story 1: That title is already infuriating me. Oh! Darkest Dungeon! Kn ow of it. That... was a weird one. Story 2: Oh god, this one. Hostile everyone. Glad OP left that lot. Story 3: Another crapp group. Story 4: I remember this one. Karma can be quite cosmic. Story 5: The theme seems to be crappy groups. Story 6: For fireball! No beach episode for you! Ahahaha!

    Send like Kodiak didn’t want play but also didn’t know how to say hey I don’t wanna play D&D maybe we can play a boardgame or video games or something. So instead he took the AH way out, and tried to make the game. No fun for anyone.

    Intro: [Likes for Lucky(?)] Doesn't matter which cat, this is always where I "Like" the video. Story 1: 2:38 Oh, hell to the no. Making a character that would not accept an adventure hook at the very start of a game session is stupid. If "it's what my character would do" derails a plot at the boarding station, it's time to either make a new character who actually WOULD accept a call to adventure or play a different game! Joining a D&D game and refusing the very first plot hook out of the gate is like agreeing to play a board game but refusing to move your token when it's your turn. It's so incredibly stupid. Kodiak is a toxic asshat. Story 2: Well, that sucked. Hope OP finds a better group to play with. Story 3: Kudos to OP for turning a horror story into a glory story in the end. It's a rare person who can self improve after what was essentially an abusive situation. Story 4: Wow. J sounds absolutely charming. [sarcasm] Story 5: 18:00 Support and damage? Light domain cleric. I could see how blessed soul sorcerer might be a bit more beginner friendly, but it doesn't look like DM was really invested in explaining anything. 19:30 Okay, that's not cool. It looks like they built OP's character just to be an NPC support bot rather than a player. Story 6: Feels bad man. I get that some spells seem to trivialize certain encounters, but situationally nerfing the spell in every single encounter going forward AND actively punishing it definitely wasn't the way to go. Sure, create a few situations to keep it from becoming the one and only "go to" spell for every encounter and encourage alternatives, but at least let there be situations where players can get the job done with Fireball. This DM needs to communicate with players and vice versa.

    The last DM, is a s*** DM. The party made it through to the boss fight and the spell casters had carefully rationed their spells? Wiping out almost all the baddies with the first two attacks is the reward for such good strategic play. The DM should have been congratulating the players and celebrating their victory with them, not getting butt-hurt.

    Story 1: Yeah it gave me one too. Not only was Kodiak a problem player he was completely stupid to boot. OP is fine as a DM Kodiak needs to learn how to be a better player. Getting tired of players like this Refusing to play when the agree to. Story 2: Yeah Monk is full of it there. He makes a roll to randomly pick one of the players he is going to decide to kill as a job that the DM doesn't even know you're doing. That's really messed up. I wouldn't go back either. Story 3: That's messed up, they just messed with him by killing his Characters cause they thought it was funny. Yeah OP was right they're a bad group. Story 4: Me I would have said "Wow there's still Homophobes in the Future?" And he's also Racist yeah he's a that guy for all times so more like "Wow there's still That Guy's in the Future?" Story 5: Messed up to do to a beginner in DnD. Glad this didn't turn OP away from it. Last Story: I agree it does sound like the DM wanted to win at DnD. It's a pretty shitty thing to go out of your way to try to stop players from using things in the game just cause you feel you want to win.

    When a kitty meows while doing a kitty stretch - I always give a like. But should I subscribe. Spoiler alert - I've already subscribed. Now for story 2 - if after 3 roll '1' - I would tell the player (if it was the same d20) to use another die - or let him borrow one of mine - and I would let him re-roll that last 1. Or even better - you're stabilized - and move on. Sorry OOP.

    I’m sorry but I don’t buy the story of the sorcerer that had no choices, it’s sounds more like he did nothing to try to build his character then complained that he didn’t know how to use it. There is a reason the party ghosted him and I feel like he has a lot of holes in the story.

  • @PTp1ranha

    A lot of folks are rightfully calling out that player for refusing to participate, in the first story. My guess is that he thinks it’s OP’s responsibility to make him want to go, but also without forcing him to go. Assuming he’s not just trying to be obnoxious for the sake of it, which he probably is.

    As it reads, he's made no attempt to actually explain what he's taking issue with about the hook, suggest alternatives, or talk like a civilised person instead of an arsehole for the whole debacle, so I'm betting on 'Obnoxious for the sake of it'. I've been in a situation where the GM offered no assistance in coming up with a character that would fit a campaign, told us nothing about the premise to inform us of what we might do and then complained when I said my character wouldn't do it (I wasn't the only one to have an issue with it). I feel there is some responsibility on both sides. if you want me to make a character that wants to go on the adventure, you have to give me *something* to work with. Still, Kodiak is just an arsehole.
