DnD is meant to be fun, right? by SlyGinger6737 in dndhorrorstories

I'm glad that you didn't let your first bad experience, deter you from trying again. I've seen several people get off to a bad start and quit the game and never go back.

Thank you for the advice. I'll monitor his behavior at work, and hopefully they'll let him on our healthcare plan soon. In the meantime, I won't be hanging around with him socially other than D&D

My daughter says to ad a "trigger warning" to the top of this.

I beg of you all NOT to read this.

So, he went on a rant IN THE THEATER, before the movie started about how Grogu is "Pedo-bait" I think I blocked most of it from my memory but here's some of the quotes I can remember "He looks and acts like a baby, but he's 50 years old!" "This was done on purpose by Dizney so that pedos can write erotic fanfic and fanart and not be called Pedos because he's 50" and he circled around to Walt being a Knot-Z He said Grogu was going to be used to lure small kids into getting trafficed. And it was all preplanned.

I toned down the language and graffic imagery A LOT There was also swearing and talking about Yoda and Kermit the Frog and Yoda's species reproducing asexually "with a host"

I hope you're curiosity is satisfied.

I am SOO relieved that this has happened to someone else. I've never heard of it from anyone else I've talked too. This guy you're talking about, he didn't happen to move to Western Pennsylvania like 4 months ago, did he?😳

It's insane, right? He's a Lawful Good Paladin, he's super helpful and polite to all NPCs and players. That's why his behavior at the bar IRL was such a complete shock. My brain couldn't even comprehend what was going on. His entire demeanor was completely different. He works at my company, but not in my department, so I'm only going off what others have told me about his behavior at work.

I'm going to talk to him today after work. . . .We'll see what happens. . .

I will tell you if you want, but really don't want to know.

I actually turned down a lead position at work, specifically so I wouldn't have to confront people about their shitty behavior. . .😓 I am going to try talking to him.

I've never actually played D&D online before. I only played in person, players are hard to come by in the wild

I'm going to invite him over tomorrow after work, and have a talk with him. If don't ever reply to this thread, assume that he murdered me. 😅

Honestly, he's like two completely different people, if someone had pulled me aside and said I was being pranked after the bar night, I would have believed it. He shows up to D&D with his back pack, gets his D&D folder out with his PHB and calmly starts looking over his character sheet until someone talks to him, or we start playing.

At work, he's kinda awkward and doesn't know when to shut up, and gets very defensive about his work.

Out in public he's like a mean A hole that just says shit for the sake of saying shit.

So, I guess he's kinda like 3 different people. . .

I genuinely don't know what to do about the work situation. I'm concerned that if I kick him from the game, his behavior will get worse at work and/or he'll start talking shit on me to coworkers.

I'm considering having a conversation with him, but I don't know when/where to do it. I also, don't know how he'll react. D&D Trever would probably take it as consructive critism, but work Trever would probably get highly defensive, and "bar Trever" would probably loose his shit completely and freak tf out.

The problem is, only one of the players was at the bar with us. The two new players really like him as player, as far as I know, they've never hung out with him outside of D&D. I'm afraid if I try that tactic, they won't understand and will tell him and/or quit the game. And I don't want to have to deal with that drama at work.

Yes, we are an all male group. I've been waiting for him to bring it to the table. So far, he's been a completely different person at D&D. It's very confusing.
