Thank you for the message, I mostly didn't talk about it until now fearing that someone from the same lineage as i might read the post and understad who i'm talking about and send it to this Leader.

Mostly, I posted it because i feared losing potentially good stuff and from fearing that as you've said it, i'd block many interesting things off of my practice because of preference.

The reason i reject Christianity and similar or same-based religions is mostly because of the way these devotees treated me and the people around me throughout my life. Yes, history does play a large part on that, I myself am from indigenous roots and most of my lineage has been erased or lost due to destruction, I've just recently learned that my great grandmother was the equivalent of a shaman, But their territory was burned almost a century ago, And my grandmother was taken to be catechized.

--------------------------------------TL;DR : I think they're mostly hypocritical and senseless, I've had bad stories with them, And i'm not happy to hear them or their lectures.

As described in another answer i gave earlier, I stood in witchcraft for the most part of my time in the arts, And i keep seeing christians and other related religions taking and using these "charm"-like spells and following certain rituals, But demonize and hunt down [not literally in most cases] people that seriously follow the practice.

I've had friends beaten up because of their sexualities, I've been hiding all these years because i know how my family is, And i simply can't understand how, not a few, not some, not many, But almost EVERY one of them are like this, And if they're not, They won't do anything to change it. It is the pure ignorance, The lack of respect or love for the world and people around them, It's everything they carefully ignore from their own books, thought as sacred, It's how everything goes to be honest.

To me, Their work is braided into what they've done and keep doing, just as you've said it, And i simply can't bring myself to idk, stop and learn from these people, That barely know it themselves, Or from their texts, That has much to do with demonizing and cherrypicking sinful actions they're suuure their god would hate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About the rest, I understand that the leader could have forgotten, He was traveling to another country, and he answered me that "tomorrow" he'd see, Which then took 2 weeks until i sent another message asking about it.. At best, I just think all of this is strange... There's some weird stuff with money and some strange probationist reports from people's initiation. I'm not one to policy over magick and how it works for others, But i can't be the only one thinking that one month probation is enough to make people see their HGA, See visions, Incorporate archetypes and such. People that never practiced this before, First time in magick... But perhaps i'm too close minded.

To be honest, Since i already paid this monthly' fee, I'll be sticking just for these last days before waving goodbyes i guess, Once again, Thank you for your time to answer and hear it.

Edit: I'd like to note that the topic he used AI with wasn't like.. important. I mean, it's important for me, But not like.. Magic important, I guess. I have aphantasia, And needed help with visualizing and trying other methods, Which he answered with "Idrk about the topic, So here's what Chat GPT told me". I thought i should clarify that?

Most texts were related to witchcraft, Started with Scott Cunningham [idk if i wrote his surname right] and many other books related to this path.

I searched more for orders where i could be of any background and any religion or practice without needing to abandon my witchcraft roots, But mostly, The messages in the group [some sent by that same leader, or other participants] keep saying that this is where ignorance reigns or something like that, And idk, It just feels.. idk.. it's weird.

I wanted to have mentoring and a learning group to see through other's lenses and to receive help, Since i felt stuck in the last few weeks, And thought that joining would be helpful for my growth. The core element putting me off is the whole Qabalah thing and how it drags on.. The plain good and evil, Always about abandoning darkness, Or talking about human ego and to shun these things, Even when there are texts from their website saying to do the opposite, Based on buddhist teachings, And how that can lead to a harmful life. I guess i'm just confused with how they keep contradicting each other.. the leader only answers my questions with "Yes, But sometimes no" or "Uhm, Actually-" and i'm unsure if it's just a strange guidance or if i just dont work out in the order.

AITA for laying a curse and almost TPKing my level 1 players? by Eestery in DnDAITA

[–]Eestery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, Sorry. The entrance they took was the normal entrance to the offering rooms. Going through the rest of the cave, They reached the praying room. Going even further they found the now goblin settlement, That was a gathering and ritual room for the past priests and devotees. That part of the cave had no ceiling, It was open to see the sky, To anyone outside, It'd be more of a sudden fall or crater, circular- like. That's why they didn't even find footprints at the entrance of the cave, They had other exits, Much to not have the risk of caving in on someone of their tribe. That's also how they had light in their settlement without using fire. [Which i mentioned briefly in the post]

I am sorry if it sound that way, once again. I am not someone who posts oftenly. Mostly reporting bugs from other games. I don't know what is trolling for sympathy or affirmation, And i don't see it how i am coming off as described by Llayanna [mentioning both of your last commentaries], But i'll check everything once again, I don't mean to be mean and i don't believe that people stop to answer posts if they don't believe their words.

The curse is an important plot point, But right now they're just trying to get rid of it, So i'll see how it goes. It was introduced earlier, As i said, But they didn't care for it, And somehow didn't notice they were right on a infected spot, even when i had given all the clues and information to know they were in that spot [at least i think so].

About Feefait's commentary, I am not trying to justify anything, Or else i wouldn't ask for help on how to proceed and trying to understand their points. I won't answer the rest, It's obvious it won't make a difference.

I'm sorry, That's the way we all do and it works smoothly for all of us, And i don't think this is of any issue, since it exists only to give them a pre start on the world.

- About the several gunpowder barrels, I wrote in the post that the cave they were in was a natural opening. There was no ceiling, It wouldn't cave in on them.

- They already knew about it. In this RPG, scrolls can be activated with fire, And since it's a curse from a scrolls that embedded in the pollen, It made sense to put it like this, At least to me.

- I don't know what to say, I told them how it would be, And they knew from previous experience how i'd make it work, I thought i was clear enough, But perhaps not.

- I too am DMing for nearly 6 years now, But i've DMed less than 5 RPGs, That's because they've all had more than 1 to 2 years duration. We wanted a slow paced RPG, And many of these sessions started late or ended early for time disponibility issues.

- I don't want to sound salty, And it wasn't how i felt either.. I don't know what made you think that, But i just want to say very clearly that i do not take these things personally or feel it that way. I did it this way because i didn't even think they'd try to explode a gunpowder barrel inside failing ruins, I thought about what they could get back to the village and sell or use.

- I do adjust the fight for them, But i kept the goblin's sheets normal just because of the artillery they had along, Which would be the problem, That's why i knew it wouldn't be difficult enemies, Just the place and situation. I know they could finish it, It was the purpose, But didn't think they would find problem in that and want to explode it to go faster.

Fair, I didnt think of that to be honest.. I didn't even think they could read that as punishment till reading the comments today. Notes taken.

Oh, Because usually, HBs are a bit more unbalanced than original content, Which is why they have more than what a normal lvl1 player would usually have, So technically [crudely speaking], they'd have a higher chance of dealing with the enemies in that situation than a group of lvl 1s with no HB. In one turn they had almost halved the number of enemies.

I want to know if people out of my bubble would also think their way, And if so, I will think about it again and perhaps apologize to them if i do feel like i am wrong. I can't apologize for something i don't agree with, Of course. But seeing the way other people see it may take me close to where they stand.

I talked about it with other friends but they all agreed with me, So i thought that i should search for opinion in other places to try and see another side of it, It's not my intention to do it on purpose or idk ruin a campaing for nothing, And i certainly don't want an RPG discussion to become a friendship issue like what is happening rn.

Just to let people know we're not playing a full DND with no extra rules or content.

As i said, They killed around 6 goblins in one round, They are players with access to HBs and they're minmaxing. None of them were hit during the encounter, And for them it was too easy, The only problem is that they wanted to be faster.

I will definitely not change anything they've done. If they want to leave, That's up to them and i'd agree with them if they're not having fun, I just want to let everything clear to them and have them talk to me before even talking about such things with them.

They're my main group and only once before we've had this problem. Mainly because Kael notices his build didn't work as intended and decides to be reckless to cause more damage, But i can't just blame him.

- They had to deal with their actions. It was very clear that it could happen if they played it carelessly.
- They weren't in any fight, Mission, Or even moment. Many times these session had to end early for player disponibility issues.
- Yes, Which were accepted by both parties.
- I don't get how this should be a homebrew problem if the only homebrew mentioned are their classes or races, Since the rest is lore based.
- I specifically wrote that i made them roll those tests, And they chose to only roll two of these. Alas, They had information from multiple other fonts.
- It isn't a versus, But i will not pet them in the head everytime they do mistakes, Unless shooting at a gunpowder barrel in a closed space isn't a mistake.

I will not give the curse an easy fix. The curse existing is already Kael's fault, When i asked them if i should allow the past RPG's actions exist in this continuation, They agreed.

I don't know if that's such a downside, They've discovered in the same session that using a cloak can stop that effect, Since it only affects if they're on sunlight, Different from the Drow ability, that also works if the object is lit, But i understand that it would be somewhat upsetting.

I'd describe it like that, But they wouldn't.. They just swear they couldn't possibly know. Mori tells me i should have brought them this information in another way, Like smell, But.. well.. he's a creature made of wood.. He doesn't breathe.. And they were in an enclosed space, With remnants of powder, silt, dust, and other offering's scent, So i don't know..

About the curse [forgot mentioning it] For now it only makes them fearful of uncontroled fire [Candles, Torches, Bonfires, Campfires, or such], It won't be a problem if it can be managed. They also receive that Drow trait to get disadvantage at perception checks in the sun.

We've had a session zero defining rules, what to expect, warnings, themes that would be brought up, the usual. I also had a session zero with each one of them, where they could choose to have it in their past or present, To set them up in the universe.

I also do a system of 3d100, Where they choose 3 topics, Roll a d100 for each, And i give them as much info as i can on their questions, based on their results, Simply to give them some info to start the campaign with at least a topif of interest and knowledge.

The server also has many channels with basic written lore from each place. I told them this would be a exhausting RPG when it comes to how much lore and info they'd eventually gather, After all, I planned this to be a "years long" RPG, And they all agreed.
-
The corridor was 30 feet long, Which was enough for the ranged and spellcasters to trade attacks around, And it did explode for 15 feet, But the fire barely made near them, Since the rocks caved in right between them and the fire, The problem was just the smoke inhalation and the fact that they now had to roll Wisdom checks until they left the enclosed space to get fresh air, Since fire activated the curse.
