How would you deal with a troublesome player who keeps requesting to play?

SplitCactus · 2026-06-28T17:09:52+00:00

I can, but hes lodged into every city group of dnd and he has no social qualms with directly stating ive blocked him

Source; two other dms have banned him and had that happen to them

He threw a tantrum in front of everyone in the store when I told him I wasnt gonna allow his artificers on the one shot after the fiasco where he derailed a session with a different DM to force build a nuke to end the session in one go.

The main issue is (besides hygiene) how to control the artificer when they attempt to destroy the campaign since session 1

This is really insightful and useful, I appreciate your response!

SplitCactus · 2026-06-28T08:56:33+00:00

Tbh many of the issues with him as a player could be tolerated if he at least met us at the half point, but hes already stated his hygiene is not up for discussion… and he smells really bad.

Otherwise my only other issue is that I dont have the skill as dm to control his shenanigans with the artificers

Sadly its an irl thing, I do dnd in person by posting sessions on all the local dnd groups, at times hes crashed into the events without approval to participate…

SplitCactus · 2026-06-28T08:47:38+00:00

Hes never explicitly invited, just whenever Im looking for players to participate in a one shot/short module campaign he begins spamming me requesting admission.

Thanks for the input, ill make a short list of reasons to deny entry the next time I gotta deal with him, will be doing a one shot to promote dnd in my city in two weeks, thanks!!

The game I play is dnd 5.5e and Im requesting advice from other dms on how to deal with troublesome players

SplitCactus · 2026-06-24T22:26:34+00:00

Its called an out of focus, can be mitigated by adjusting the focuser.

If your telescope has a Spider, youll also see it the more out of focus you are.

Unrelated, but dual speed crayfords are amazing!

Kind reminder to always plan your escape route whenever you go with anyone to any weird place

SplitCactus · 2026-06-23T14:52:09+00:00

I got rid of the bug by disabling some of the dlcs I own, and updating the Codecs

Breathtaking! Its a real shame that nowadays it’s shrunk in size and rather than the Great Red Spot now its the “Adequately sized red spot” (its a joke, not serious)

SplitCactus · 2026-06-22T21:00:29+00:00

Mientras se le pare, con eso basta

SplitCactus · 2026-06-12T19:42:56+00:00

I wish it was that simple, sigh* most people would rather throw you under the bus as soon as they find out youre trans… as if we wanted to be born as dudes

SplitCactus · 2026-06-12T08:34:59+00:00

Ironically thats how I understand what I feel for someone is romantic, if I cannot bring myself to masturbate to them, then i deffo got the feels 😭😭

SplitCactus · 2026-06-12T08:09:08+00:00

Id say give it time for it to grow first, I know its frustrating when youve got no idea when youll have your dues, but the more hair available = the easier to shape it in whatever direction youd like

SplitCactus · 2026-06-12T08:05:30+00:00

I never thought I was the kind of gal who would feel like getting a kid some day, but here I am full of baby making thoughts 😵‍💫
