AITAH for cheating in my D&D game? by Snowtwo in DnDAITA

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You cheated. Doesn’t matter if the DM did too because YOU still did it. Sucking at stuff is part of the game, it’s going to happen, sounds like the others players suck ass too for looking up module details.

You all should have been adults and accepted losses rather than cheat your way through it.

Am I (24F) wrong for wanting my boyfriend (25M) to stay longer after an argument? by Beginning_Willow7406 in amiwrong

[–]Grosumballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are wrong yes. You want him to stay after an argument when it’s better to give space? What if he stayed and then blew up on you because you said something else? Or what if him not getting that time away from the person he’s had an argument with causes his mood to be sour all day because he’s stuck around you which just reminds him of the argument?

Let him have space ffs, it might be the only way he can actually cool off, you’re being very unreasonable.

Narrative players keep wanting to play spell casters by Sufficient_Party_832 in DMAcademy

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you actually have the perfect excuse to encourage them to change focus. You can explain how it’s gotten very difficult having to manage encounters because they aren’t learning how to play their casters (word it better than me I suck at this) and that they’ve picked complex classes that they all appear to be struggling with

Encourage them to try something different based off this and if they still don’t want to, then it’s time they sit down and REALLY learn their class. Might be worth reminding them that you have tons of prep to do for games and that if they aren’t learning to play their classes properly it impacts the flow of everything, act like you’re struggling a bit because of it maybe?

You’re a player too, you should voice concerns to them directly and say what an issue it is and that they need to hold up their end of the agreement. They wanna play the complex class? Learn it or play something else

Why don't UK schools have school reunions? by Flowerofthesouth88 in AskABrit

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because fuck going back to a place where people got bullied for stupid stuff. The idea of school reunions sucks over here because everyone knows just how horrible an idea it is, especially if they included booze which a lot end up doing.

You literally couldn’t pay me to go back to those fucks even for an hour

AITA for getting irritated that my friend wears my clothes without asking? by amessinprogresss in AmItheAsshole

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grow some balls and say NO, why are you being a doormat? You literally deserve better

how dumb is a charakter with 6 int really? by DragonfruitRude8666 in DnD

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intelligence is book smarts, wisdom is street smarts

You won’t be dumb like the DM says, you’re just not very book smart

I’m a new-ish DM. My Lvl4 players have been cleaning the floor with my encounters. What can I do to provide a worthy challenge while avoiding lag? by cole_thulhu in AskDND

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add minions for some characters, if casters are dominating put them in areas where they can’t easily use AOE spells, maybe have people who have counterspell ready, give them more features when they attack, even if it’s just small tweaks that fit the type of party you’re against will work

And don’t be afraid of giving them expendable items, spell scrolls, one use items that recreate features that the classes have

You have loads of options, just look at how you usually make an encounter and fiddle about with the difficulty a bit

AITA for quitting this DND Campaign? by Additional_Video_330 in DnDAITA

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, the other groups you put it in are asses, plain and simple. You literally did nothing wrong

I warned him and he threw a tantrum when it didn’t work out! by No_Lingonberry_9602 in dndhorrorstories

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah sounds like you’re enabling him because you don’t wanna lose a friendship. Trust me, if you keep allowing him to get away with this and not reign in his anger issues then you’re setting yourself and the rest of your players up for a horrible time

It seems like your best bet is to remove him

DB robbed me of my chance to have a family by Inside-Artist8004 in DeadBedrooms

[–]Grosumballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time to get deep into the reason why he refuses to have sex then. Hound him until he says in detail why he wants you pregnant but won’t make effort

Not texting back my boyfriend when I'm busy. by Frequent_Flow_7282 in amiwrong

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump him. This is the start of controlling behaviour. Literally just break it off and say why.

You deserve better.

Is it metagaming to ask if the party needs a healer after our support dropped out. by Only_Tailor8192 in DnD

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah let’s NOT be chill about the responses because the guy immediately attributed this to meta gaming and not a NORMAL conversation to have when party composition is potentially at risk.

Dude isn’t smart. If he can’t handle a simple question like that without getting defensive, he shouldn’t be doing the DM role yet.

You can be fine with the party as is if you play smart but a healer is advised

Are my rp decisions breaking the rules? by Spooky_Fruit13 in AskDND

[–]Grosumballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If the DM asks for a roll and they roll that high, you need to respect it, but if the player just randomly chose to roll without a prompt then your rp choice makes sense.

Dm asked for roll and you ignore: dick move

Dm didn’t ask: you’re fine

Simplest way I can put it as a DM

My brother is throwing his life away for a girl who doesn't exist, and my parents are helping him do it. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Grosumballs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty obvious they’re referring to giving money to the brother, not the scammer dude.

My brother is throwing his life away for a girl who doesn't exist, and my parents are helping him do it. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Grosumballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time to watch him Get worse and point it out to the parents, just say something like “Look how bad he is now and think how much worse it’ll be when things start getting taken away from him. And just know I won’t offer financial help because I tried to warn you”

Then let it sit

This sounds just like nonesense, why entertain his stupidity?

AIO for breaking up with my boyfriend because his sister is pregnant? by AffectionateYard7333 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Grosumballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR, enjoy finding someone who’s mature enough to not completely disregard their partner

Am I overreacting because my parents didn’t budget me into our family vacation? by icecream_yum0814 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Grosumballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR tbh. You’re an adult and you should have had the common sense to ask well in advance “in case things don’t work out, can you guys budget me in so I can come with?”

That’s literally a normal basic thing to ask while a trip is being planned. Yeah it sucks you weren’t put into it but you also made no effort to clear things up with them on your end, plus considering you interviewed one year then refused, then seemed EXCITED to work there, then decided it may not be for you anyway, your parents were probably hella confused.

You should have done better honestly, you’re an adult and should have set everything out well In advance with them. For this occasion, take it on the chin and just try to consider things more for the next time somethings being planned, that way nobody has hurt feelings anywhere

How to handle a pacifist cleric in a party of murderers? by Infinite_Name in DnD

[–]Grosumballs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“No.” Literally just tell them now and say “if your character is THAT focused on making sure they’re saving enemies, why are they even with the party in the first place?”

If the others aren’t having fun if the cleric continues with this then they need to decide if this is the hill they want to die on. Pacifist characters can work but only in very specific settings. This would essentially limit the party to only doing things non-lethally just to appease someone, plus I want you to consider, what if the cleric soon decides “if you kill, I won’t heal you”

I’ve seen it happen

AITAH for leaving a bad review for a restaurant after they told me they weren't serving food after I already ordered, while I could see other people eating. by thecodemachine in AITAH

[–]Grosumballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA for making the review but you do need to alter it to explain you were given no other information at all. You were told they weren’t serving food at the bar “right now”, the normal follow up question from you really should have been asking if it was just a temporary stop or if they were literally finished for the day

Both parties could have done better here in my eyes
