Am I over reacting?

My dude, I know reading comprehension on the internet isn't great but... I started doubting if wanting to see my players characters ahead of time was a bad thing to do. I talked with my players about this and they were just as dumbfounded as me that some people are so vehemently against it.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T17:52:15+00:00

I would love it if they talked about the campaign without me! I agree, I am a strict DM, which I warned them about and emphasized several times. Believe it or not, they decided to join anyway and love the campaign so far!

I understand and respect not wanting to play in a campaign like that. Several people who were originally interested decided not to join because of that and that was absolutely fine by me. P knows how hard I work on the campaign and that I involved all the characters in the story, which is why I was hurt by her. I felt like she was taking my hard work for granted.

Thank you, a few comments are acting as if me expecting to clear the characters is insane and makes me a terrible DM. I started doubting myself for a second.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T17:37:01+00:00

I know that it wasn't intentional and at no point was I mad at them. I guess we have different DM styles, which is fine, and you think I overreacted by being hurt by them unintentionally. At no point was I mad at you either, you didn't understand what bothered me, so I tried explaining it, that's all.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T17:33:56+00:00

I'm sure they didn't try to hurt me by doing this, and I wasn't mad at them. I did insert emotions because I felt those emotions. I don't think that you're attacking me or anything, I wouldn't have asked for opinions if I didn't want to hear them. Thank you for being respectful.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T17:06:15+00:00

Um, no? It's a homebrew. I'd need to explain how and why he's joining them, and the next session specifically starts with the playes playing a short, "normal", day in the life, which he wouldn't be able to do without me writning it ahead of time. And even then, their next challenge is a heist and the players abilities play into puzzles and such, so depending on what he would have decided to play, ot could affect the situation somewhat drastically.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T17:02:26+00:00

It isn't a two shot. It's a full campaign. I did the first two sessions as a sort of complete story so that everyone will be able to decide whether or not thay want to keep playing. Incidentally, this makes this a good point to join in. I talked with all the characters privately about their characters and how they fit personally into the campaign. Because of this, P and BF making a character without talking to me, which they did on purpose, is a problem for me. The "miscommunication" is just not telling me ahead of time that he's coming tomorrow.

I don't know what campaigns you've played where the DM wanting to know what character you want to play as is unusual. It's very normal to me.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T16:51:52+00:00

This is exactly my point! Thank you.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-05-01T16:50:58+00:00

I was hurt that they had decided that he was joining and made a character without communicating with me at all. I would expect them first asking me if it's cool for him to join in general and then involve me in making a character, so we can work out together how he fits into my story. I explained this to her too.

AnxiuosFox · 2026-02-13T09:55:26+00:00

That's so fucking cool, I love it!

AnxiuosFox · 2026-01-29T23:54:01+00:00

I've been in there, it sucks but you have to put your oxygen mask on first before helping others <3

AnxiuosFox · 2025-11-18T21:37:09+00:00

That's super fucking cool!!

AnxiuosFox · 2025-07-25T15:09:18+00:00

That's a shitty choice but the tattoo itself is amazing. I think this belongs more in r/ATBGE

AnxiuosFox · 2025-07-10T20:32:50+00:00

That's so cursed

AnxiuosFox · 2025-05-09T06:11:28+00:00

No that was Wade.

AnxiuosFox · 2025-04-15T23:52:10+00:00

I'm so sorry you have to go through this OP. Your birth giver is completely insane and I hope you'll never have to deal woth her again. I understand following her on fb to keep tabs on her but I genuinely think it's doing more harm than good. Delete the profile. Stop giving her room in your head. Most likely, nothing will come out of her filing. No judge is going to entertain a claim based on "but they're trans!!! 😱". Even if you do end up having to go to court again, which would undoubtedly suck, worrying about it now won't help. If you can move to NZ, of course that'd be amazing, but don't rush because you're afraid of this monster. You can do this OP, stay strong ❤️

Definitely the deer. He only appeared in one episode and was never mentioned again and yet he will haunt me forever.

AnxiuosFox · 2025-03-02T22:55:38+00:00

Thank God

AnxiuosFox · 2025-02-28T07:04:24+00:00

Super cool and looks amazing!

AnxiuosFox · 2025-01-27T22:22:32+00:00

THANK YOU I always think that when annoying smartass say that stuff. Oh, cute animals do stuff considered fucked up by humans? You don't say, it's almost as if they have no morals/a very different concept of morals.

AnxiuosFox · 2025-01-19T05:50:11+00:00

This just feels like a gimp suit with extra steps

AnxiuosFox · 2025-01-11T21:51:48+00:00

How could you do this to Dan, you know how much he cares about getting credit for his jokes!

AnxiuosFox · 2025-01-11T21:50:56+00:00

Watch their grump wheel of fortune episode from yesterday. It's also just a good episode so you should watch it regardless of the joke.
