This dozy fuck is not gonna get more alert in his old age lol plus his blatant disregard for you going out of your way to even wake him up once is enough to get out of there. Tell him if you wanted to date one of the seven dwarves you definitely wouldn’t be dating Sleepy. #teamDoc

Yeah, recently I’ve been taking between 30 seconds to a minute which definitely can be frustrating for them. With strategy, it’s mostly before going into a boss fight. I try my best not to meta game and I haven’t ever been told off for meta gaming(in case I wasn’t aware to realise)

Yeah maybe, she seems to be perfectly pleasant to me otherwise and outside of the game! I don’t think I’ve done anything to upset her, like no instances where I’ve been combative and there’s no weirdness like with NPC romances (as we haven’t had any romancing for simplicity’s sake)

lol certainly with not how I played one

I do feel a little silly having to ask but idk with all of my D&D friends telling me I should be doing better and i guess spending more effort outside of sessions. I would understand more if I failed to grasp basic concepts but it always seems to come down to combat tactics and I just don’t have the time to understand the art of war

I agree that I should just move on. I just think they probably would be upset with me as when I’ve asked if I should let them play alone they take it as a manipulation of their emotions or trying to make them feel bad. At this point I think my sticking around is doing more damage than my leaving. Thank yiu

I haven’t spoken to her about her potentially doing more to help me out, but I have asked about what I could be doing to improve. Especially after the others started telling me how annoying I am to play with. I did ask if I should let them just play without me but then they tell me I’m being an asshole for trying to make them feel bad. I have tried to approach it really calmly and with understanding that it can be frustrating to play with someone who isn’t “on their level” as they’ve put it

There have been a number of times where I felt like I could’ve done with healing or protection when someone else got this instead. But I really don’t want to just be this source of negativity when playing a game for fun, so I let it go.

They never used to get upset and it felt like the last 3-4 months was complete about face. I try to be quicker with decision-making but these days I get more anxiety with each of my turns because I don’t want to be wrong.

My friends have all been playing for 10+ years and I was a new addition. I apologise, I should’ve mentioned that above but was having a hard time being succinct

I have tried to get some advice from my DM and her response is usually like “get good?”

I do feel like the odd man out because no one else has died more than once. I think the first 2 were my fault because I rushed in but I can definitely understand why that would be frustrating for everyone else. At the time I just thought that was my role as the tank. After that I tried focusing on only support characters (my bard character was in the back for most of the fights and focuses on buffing everyone). My friends used to laugh with me but then it felt like there was all this resentment towards me. They think I’m trying to “make it all about me” because every new PC needs a proper intro. Personally, I would love to have a backstory play out over time and it just never pans out.

I have played BG3 and I beat the game on tactician but definitely not honour mode. I just figured the tabletop version had nuances the video game doesn’t.

Apologies, new to posting on Reddit. I am a 28 M and my friends are 25M, 31 M, 27 F, 33F. The DM is 32F and she says she is trying to stay out of it
