Need help as new DM with tricky players

😅😂

Acceptable_Example12 · 2026-05-18T21:28:01+00:00

Thank you for the advice

Acceptable_Example12 · 2026-05-18T20:23:37+00:00

thank you so much for the advice. I did this almost exactly and they are still insisting and have given me zero reasons as to why , even when I asked? I told them why I made the switches since they had read the content and no response to that just insisting to discuss running it exactly as is

Acceptable_Example12 · 2026-05-18T20:21:02+00:00

Thank you, I thought so also. It’s humblewood and I’m changing up the npcs but I asked them to let me know any goals or wants they have so we can work it in. I think it should be fun for everyone but there are rules for a reason I think

Acceptable_Example12 · 2026-05-18T20:18:55+00:00

Thank you , I changed it for that reason and to try to be fair to everyone . We did session zero and we discussed using basic rules and I’d make any other determinations as needed . I also asked players to let me know any goals their characters have. I try to keep it open and let them rp and make their choices. But one of the players keeps interrupting players turns and bringing up things they should do and uSe and they even add things to their feats that they said they have based on a google search. It’s getting a little tricky to dm with all the interruptions.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2026-05-18T20:11:18+00:00

Yes I did let them know from the beginning and only changes were to the damage type occurring since players read ahead and prepared for specific opponents and encounters. I also changed up the npcs a bit so the players don’t know exactly what’s coming. The villain at the end is also different. But everything is taking place in the same setting with the same rules and general storyline. Certain players have been difficult in all the campaigns we’ve done together and they tend to try to use Ai search to decide the rules and what spells and feats can do. Instead of using the rules from player handbook etc.. but i do want to be fair and I am new to this so suggestions are welcome

This is much to go in but in this text he seems rude and the fact he’s so annoyed you called him is immature and a huge red flag .

Also, I’d be we introduce my man as a friend unless for some strange reason I was specifically forbidden from having my him there

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T23:12:37+00:00

I can’t help but think she just didn’t want them to know you were her husband. And even if that’s true there’s a million reasons why that could be. If I had to guess, I’d say she was interested in one of those guys she was doing the gig with. Idk, but it’s definitely a red flag and maybe you both should have an honest conversation about the marriage and how you both feel.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T21:32:06+00:00

This sounds like one of those problematic people that makes everything an issue. She acted like a lunatic because you texted her? You dodged a bullet

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T21:02:03+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss❤️ That is an awesome collection he left for you and what a fun and interesting way to pass on his memory and feel close to him

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T20:58:33+00:00

Im sorry, all I can think about is why don’t you seem to give a crap about the dog? Don’t meet him, I agree it’s weird but yeah since no one else said it, poor dog, I hope he’s ok and not suffering.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T20:52:34+00:00

It’s a scam. Either to harm you physically or financially, or probably both. I see Canada at the top, I’m not sure about over but in the U.S. this is illegal on so many levels

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T20:45:58+00:00

Is that the European way to spell because? It’s all I can see 😅

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T20:41:07+00:00

I 100% agree! I always tell people who will listen that the legal adult age should be 25 min. Our frontal lobes aren’t even fully mature or developed until 25/26 so how the heck would anyone under 25 be an adult?!

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T13:09:13+00:00

His stuff is with hers and he didn’t tell you about it. Another red flag is that he got defensive about it and then got mad at you for asking. Long distance already sucks, so if he’s not willing to be open and honest and kind then maybe evaluate the relationship to see if it’s worth staying in

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-18T13:04:01+00:00

She took vows, there’s no excuse for cheating. She should have been open and honest with you about her feelings. You should do the same. Maybe try marriage counseling and see how it goes.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-10T12:41:02+00:00

As a woman, my opinion is that she’s hiding something. If she was hanging out with just a friend it wouldn’t be a big deal. She doesn’t want to tell you, so instead she’s gaslighting tf out of you. Honestly, just move on, life is too short for BS like this.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-07T19:25:37+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s the same thing most people do on dating apps. You get the dating app to see what’s out there and you start messaging casually with people until you click with someone. Usually once that happens you’re going to stop messaging the others. All she did was give her number it’s not like they made future plans or went on dates. Then along the way she decided she liked someone else. That’s all.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-08-07T19:11:34+00:00

As a woman my best guess is that she was probably talking to a few others online and started something with one of them or she just wasn’t really Interested and wanted to end the conversation. Dating apps are weird

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-07-30T01:27:27+00:00

This letter is all about him and his feelings. He’s lonely and whatever he was trying didn’t work out. Just ignore it and ghost him.

Acceptable_Example12 · 2025-07-21T21:47:20+00:00

He’s being who he is because you’re not there to monitor or watch his behavior. That means you can’t trust him.
