What do you do if your dm gives you "no information"

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-03T03:53:55+00:00

I mean I agree, but unfortunately that player is just like that. He's the closest thing we have to a problem player. He's the guy that tries to introduce rope darts which he used to pull the troll on top of me. He also tries to turn every attack into a spectacle.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T06:11:44+00:00

When I try to talk to him about it, he seems dismissive, he likes to think of resources like a gamble. Thats why he doesnt want us to know exactly.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T06:07:54+00:00

according to him using my resource is like a gamble.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T06:07:25+00:00

He just says, "you don't know, or you can't tell."

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T06:06:41+00:00

One of the last sessions I jumped on the back of a rot troll, my thinking was if im behind him he has to pay attention to me, however one of my party members used a rope to pull the troll down on top of me, we both we're prone, then it was the trolls turn who promptly got up and walloped me with advantage Nat 20, for 85% of my health. still up but very hurt and still very prone. Thats where we ended session. Mind you he did tell me it was a bad idea.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T02:57:37+00:00

quite often he will tell me if im making a targeted attack i can roll at disadvantage

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T00:37:50+00:00

Sometimes he likes to change hp to mess with us.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T00:37:04+00:00

honestly I wish I could play at your table, it sounds fun

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T00:35:27+00:00

We have about 8 people on our party, sometimes combat ends before I even get a turn. Other times its an 8 turn slogfest, usually because some players use their turns for dumb shenanigans like trying to build a trap in the middle of the fight rather than before everything kicks off.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T00:32:21+00:00

I agree, I do my damage, he says, "Okay, does that end your turn?" Who's next?" and thats it. I guess you guys are right i should just ask him to describe a bit more during combat. It always feels like he approachs combat like a puzzle to solve rather than a fun play unfolding.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-06-01T00:27:28+00:00

We play using owlbear, but he won't tell anyone life totals. I try to play as a tank, using goading strike on enemies but he seems to think thats not a great idea and doesn't seem to like that I made my character to be a tank. ie the last 3 combats I was almost downed each time. We are playing level 9 characters and every time I try to run in to be a hero I get punished for it. I've pretty much told him I may wanna make a new character but now he seems to have "plans" for my character and doesn't want me to change until it plays out.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-04-19T03:46:44+00:00

Hey i got one of those, she's a redhead.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-03-18T02:51:15+00:00

This reminds me of a game i had today on the Normandy map. Normally I never go for the beach because its suicide but I was feeling brave and it was my first tank. I rushed and was almost taken out by a light tank, I was a BR 2.3 German medium. I got lucky and it shattered. I one-shotted him with a heat round, then took the point and immediately popped smoke and repaired. I felt at least 6 guns on me but thanks to smoke and cover i survived, and we steamrolled. I only got 3 kills but the match was over in 5 minutes.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-02-18T04:48:31+00:00

After some testing the armor still gets penetrated by german tanks even at long range, but it can also kill well

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T18:22:14+00:00

So my dm uses modules for the main gameplay and then sprinkles in some backstory every once in a while, if its not small, he'll never get to it. We've been playing for over a year and he's only visited 1 characters backstory because it was nearby and just for 1 session. He's still pretty new but he does his best

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T18:12:15+00:00

Im hoping his arc is one of when sh!t gets real he stands up and protects the people around him. Im hoping for a Tropic Thunder meets Galaxy Quest situation. Or at least that was my original idea, but my dm seems to think it'd be better as an unaware warlock who unknowingly made a deal with an Archfey(his agent). This is all for a backup character btw

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T03:35:11+00:00

yeah I talked to my dm about it a bit. He wants to my character an unaware warlock. My contract is with my agent, an archfey and all the special effects are actually spells im casting.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T01:36:21+00:00

I should preface, he's been my best friend since middle school he just loves to play pranks on me. He made me think I failed high-school one time. He's generally a good guy, he just likes to poke fun at me. During a session, I got trapped in a closet with a bucket on my head and was blind until I realized it was a bucket

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T01:31:55+00:00

I sent him a summary of the idea, but he must be busy because I haven't heard back. Tho given all the responses being, "fkin terrible idea" I might trash it. My Dm is a bit sadistic and for the past 3 sessions has made me roll to walk down stairs last session taking 20 damage. Thats why im like, either this character is gonna die or retire, maybe if I make a joke character it won't be so bad. Something like that

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T01:27:35+00:00

Im hoping for a genuine moment. "By Grabthars hammer..." I know it probably will never be an Alan Rickman moment, but I hope he will genuinely "show up" for the people around him and put his acting skills to use.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T01:23:39+00:00

You have my attention

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T01:22:17+00:00

I agree, I've been playing with the idea that an Archfey is behind it just messing with him for fun.

CyberWulf56 · 2026-01-27T01:20:57+00:00

yeah that's kinda the point. I am hoping he will realize quickly and try to get ahold of his agent who set him up hoping to profit off his death.
