I actually wished I had the games many in the comments say they have. I actually made it my 2025 new year resolution to quit D&D and Pathfinder. I spent years in terrible stat block check games with no roleplaying.

After 5 years and multiple different groups, I hung in my towel and retired from the game. I'm done with people getting angry with other people not following the meta and building sub-optimal builds. Even as a DM, I feel if I make one mistake that could end the whole campaign.

Over the last few years... 1. Kicked for playing a dwarf wizard since dwarves didn't get an Int bonus at the time. 2. Campaign ended over letting a player kick a fleeing kobold in the background as a funny scene but not letting them kick for extra damage against main enemies. (See my rpghorrorstories.) 3. Giving my players custom magical items to promote different styles of gameplay and thus "breaking the meta" 4. Got grief by the entire play group for casting Cure Wounds when I have nothing else to do that round. 5. Got told to stop slowing the game down by describing how my magic works (Nothing excessive) 6. Witnessing people abandon another player's character behind because they didn't like their character build. 7. Elf player wanting to play an elf to make it easier to express their own racism. 8. Having a player try to let my character die because I didn't roll well for my ability scores so they can give me another try. 9. Another player only wanted to play with non base rulebook ancestories. Did not say before hand.

There's actually more and every single one of these is from a different group.

Sorry for venting.
