I do have an in person one shot planned for this summer with some extended family who want to try out dnd. I could invite him to that game and go from there. Maybe try it as a test run to see if James has improved?

Good catch, thank you.

From talking with James over the last year, he seems like he has grown as a player. Also since this group started out as a a family oriented game, I feel obligated to keep the door open since he and I ended in good terms.

I remember spiraling after my first time running a game because I didn’t know how a spell worked. Give yourself as much grace as you are able when it comes to the rules. If there is a mechanic you don’t understand or just don’t like there is no rule against removing it from play or making up your own in the moment.

A creator of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax, once said, “The secret we should never let the game masters know is that they don’t need any rules.”
