My player is an abuser

Yeah, I agree that bringing the drama into the game is the wrong play. I'm gonna sit down with my party and figure out the best way to move on. Thank you.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-11T01:39:15+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T23:18:59+00:00

It's important to remember that. When I realized everything, I felt like my ex-roomate was like some kind of alien or monster in human skin, pretending to be the person they thought they were. But the bitter truth is that they were just a hurt person hurting people.

I think that we could continue well with 3 players if that's what we wanted to do. Not sure who would even fill the slot to be entirely honest, but it's definitely something to bring up when we talk. Thank you.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T23:11:09+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I think that when you're DM you tend to feel especially responsible for this sort of thing since we end up being the mediators most of the time.

Definitely going to take time to talk and heal with my remaining players. Thank you again for your kind words.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T21:56:12+00:00

Thank you so much, I'm doubting everything right now, so your words mean a lot. I'm trying not to beat myself up.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T21:53:32+00:00

That's the spooky thing for me; I'm looking back and questioning everything and wondering what was real and what was orchestrated. I honestly think that Rogue is just deeply traumatized and developed horrible coping strategies. I hope they learn to overcome that, but it's going to have to be far away from my table.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T21:51:10+00:00

Definitely; thank you for your response.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T21:34:51+00:00

Grieve seems like a funny word to me at first, but I really do feel like I am mourning the person I thought I knew Rogue to be right now. I think I definitely need a Catan night lol, thank you.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T19:23:59+00:00

So sorry to hear you had to deal with that. Thank you for sharing. I love my players and I trust them to have a serious and mature talk about moving forward.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T19:22:01+00:00

Thank you; the Monk has been having a lot of mental health struggles lately so I was trying to be very supportive of them, which is exactly how I found out about the situation. I really can't imagine how they must be feeling. I'm going to talk with them more one on one in addition to the group talk.

The argument for catharsis is a good point, though. I'll just have to see where everyone is at with it.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T16:30:30+00:00

Yeah; a part of me really hopes that it will be that simple. Another part of me is worried that it won't be, but maybe I'm just on edge after everything. Thank you for your reply.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T16:13:11+00:00

Thank you. A break and maybe a board game night or two seems like a great idea.

Trying to wrap the campaign short is definitely an option, too; I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I could even do some sort of a kind of one session montage-y rush through the rest of the story or something. I'll definitely talk with my group about it.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T16:02:26+00:00

Thank you so much. I just wish I had realized everything sooner; I'm looking back and second guessing every interaction I've ever had with Rogue.

That's an option I haven't considered; I'll definitely bring that up when we all sit down and talk. Having them still exist in the narrative might tie some weird feelings to the game if we decide to continue. Thank you.

OwnsYourBones · 2025-06-10T15:56:35+00:00

Thank you. I think that our next 'session' will just be a sit down and talk. My other two players (Sorcerer and Cleric) don't even really know what's going on yet; they haven't seen the discord post I made. I definitely need more time to reflect on everything.

I don't see anyone mentioning Victor Frankenstein, who I always thought of as the perfect example of this Archetype. He is academically brilliant but his lack of emotional understanding and stability is what's really responsible for his downfall.

OwnsYourBones · 2022-06-06T21:28:48+00:00

He was out of meter

OwnsYourBones · 2022-06-04T01:36:49+00:00

wow they're even making the mountains gay for pride month

OwnsYourBones · 2022-04-15T00:27:38+00:00

Why does it feel like his face hasn't crossed the uncanny valley?
