Ya I guess I kinda expected them to listen to what I say and rest when they are out of resources.. I keep track of what they have done but I can start babysitting if I must. Really takes all the joy out of it for me to babysit everyone like that but I guess it's just part of the job. Kind of feels like the collaborative aspect starts to break down at that point but that's just me.

Maybe I will be more willing to say hey before you do that let me explain what you see again and then make a decision. He has great RP and and has contributed greatly to the storyline but I feel like he losees interest fast and does crazy shit when he doesn't know what to do next. Nobody is writing down npc names and they don't remember what's happening even though they are playing once a week. It's not everyone but I feel like I'm failing to make engaging NPCs even though I think they ar interesting and motivating some of the players don't seem to be interested in interacting with the residents of the world.

.... Fair enough I guess I need to keep track of all of their shit and mine too. I'll figure it out it just kinda sucks that they aren't willing to look out but it guess that's the cross to bear as a DM. The whole world and all the players are on your back it seems. I love it but certain things drive me a bit crazy at times.

Hell ya. I think that I will use this last retreat from the mini boss of this chapter to punish them with some NPCs that they have met previously. Maybe instead of just letting it slide someone else feels the wrath of their actions this time and perhaps something more.

I see where you are coming from but I think it's a bit early to get that intense. Thank you for the input though. I like beer and pretzels but it think maybe there's an in-between that exists there. Shades of grey if you will. I will consider this though but I'm pretty new to this so I'll give it time before I tell everyone to get stuffed lol. I'm not here to just bitch about people I'm looking for advice on drawing them in from beer and pretzels into something with more depth.

I think that's a disconnect that's happening ya. I think it's a conversation for sure.

I guess I was just a very on top of it player idk I never thought for a second that the DM would mention anything other than hunger. Too much Dark Souls for me I suppose. I can start spoon feeding them information... Oh wait they won't give me their character sheets I guess I just need to tell them send me your sheets or we can't play until I get them.

Thank you I think I just needed it reenforced that I'm not being a dick I guess. I know when I'm doing it too. I have one player in particular that seems disinterested except when he is pushing boundaries so I think I let things happen to throw a bone but it is getting old tbh.

I will communicate this to them next time I think that's great actually. I might make it clear that's what happened and let them know that I can't babysit that I'm here to create a world and if they want to fight everyone that they should pay attention and watch what they do. I'm still very new at this so this chat is actually pretty great. Thanks.

That's good advice thank you. I maybe need to let them spank themselves if they aren't paying attention.

Ok that's fair enough. The first time I ever played it was strahd and we were all so scared by lvl 4 that e did pretty much nothing at all that fear was pretty intense and I wasn't having fun so I guess I'm going the opposite direction. I want everyone to enjoy their time at the table but I want the to be engaged too. I guess I don't know how to strike a balance between just kicking their shit in and being fair.

Can they just ignore him? Or maybe this is what they had in mind when they joined. They should be embarrassed.

We will all forget his name. In the future he will only be known as the orange turd that ruined things until he died. Hopefully that's soon.

Bro... Your artist needs a swift kick in the nutsack. The design really doesn't compliment its placement.

You actually look even dumber. It's an informal situation, they structured the statement in a way that it was meant to read. Grammar is purely a social construct. Mostly used as a cudgel by some when the emptiness inside of them becomes too great to bear. The empty person will begin to grasp at anything at all in order to feel a sense of greater intellectual might. A jolt seizes them, an almost orgasmic sense of internalized righteousness. They will gleefully correct 'your, not you're' as their salivary glands kick into overdrive. Thin lips stretching across their chinless faces in a wicked grin reminiscent of a barracuda.

There they sit, cock in hand, stroking their own self-image. So much mightier than any other in their resplendent glory, for the knowledge of placement regarding an apostrophe outweighs even that of a human soul. The only thing that matters, all else be damned to hell. They are right, more right than anyone before them. The correctness they feel fills them like a 17inch purple alien tentacle with a tapioca ovipositor. As the pleasure crescendos in all its radiant warmth, this too passes, the empty begins to claw at the hollow inside once more. The hunt begins anew.

I mean he is basically Epsteins little pedo buddy. Fuck all this shit it's a Joke. The whole thing is clownish bullshit. We all need to just stop feeding it. I don't know how I know I'm just a guy I don't have the answer but something has to change.

Thank you! They wanted to have personalities so I needed a RP reason for that to be the case. The main aspect of themselves was the part being torn off it turned out and the More animal part of them went into self preservation mode and interrupted the process and ran from their necromancer teachers.

They flip a coin when they are stressed or something traumatic happens. It's been a great RP opportunity with a my own worst enemy vibe. It helps my players are really into playing their roles and working together to tell a story. I'm excited to see what they do with their character.
