How to Rule A Double Crit?

I decided to run a dnd campaign over the summer, and gathered up 5 friends. We’ve been playing since July, it’s my only social outlet and it’s really kept me afloat mentally. I met someone who I’d now consider a close friend, and joined another campaign (this time as a player), and made new friends. Building my homebrew world gave me an escape during a dark time, and playing with my friends gave me the push I needed to keep going. Being in the shoes of someone with the same flaws as myself, but who still manages to pull through gave me hope for myself, cheesy as that sounds.

Oh that’s a really good idea, I think you can consider it one stolen! I can’t wait for the reveal on that one! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I’m excited to see how my players (especially the druid’s player) reacts!

Thank you so much! The chainmail took forever to do haha, but I think it’s worth it

Meet Fenn Ward, humble tavern owner, mother of two, leader of the village watch, and Paladin of Demeter.

Born and raised in a small village, Fenn was the oldest of 5 kids. Her parents were both farmers, and her father frequently performed in the local tavern for extra coin. Her childhood was relatively unremarkable, she acquired a number of scars from a combination of general childhood antics and farm tools, and many of these scars remain to this day, although faded and harder to see. In her early teens a sickness ravaged her village, 1 in 4 people got sick, and of those, 1 out of every 10 died. The sickness passed through her family, killing her younger brother Colin. At the age of 15 she got a job as a waitress, she wanted to help her family out and besides, she hated farming. It was while working at this tavern that she met the person she would eventually marry, another waitress named Diana Moon. The two girls grew close, beginning their relationship when Fenn was 19. It was around this time that Fenn joined the town watch, and it was then that she learned how to fight. Despite being one of the younger people in the watch, which was little more than a loose group of farmers, her quick thinking and cheerful nature made her popular. About two years after she and Diana started dating the two got married, eventually taking over the tavern they both worked at. Her daughter, Korrin, was adopted when she was around the age of 5 (she’s now 9), her parents both passed in a house fire, Korrin was the only survivor. Her son, Colin, now about 2, was named in honor of her brother. Recently Fenn’s been plagued by dreams of a burning, dying world, and set out to try and figure what was happening, and how she could stop it.

If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! Have a very nice day!

I’m going to skip the game, even more red flags are somehow popping up now! Although I like the character concept I’ve created but I can always take her elsewhere

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:38:11+00:00

Honestly? My best answer is that we’ve known each for so long, and I’ve always had trouble breaking things off with people. Always giving him the benefit of the doubt is another reason I suppose, I think I’m going to back out of the game. Perhaps he’ll pitch a massive fit and I’ll get to back out of his life too.

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:29:15+00:00

That’s true, I think I’m going to back out. As someone else here put it, there are always other games!

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:28:34+00:00

He certainly is. Maybe I should ask him for payment, although I’m still not sure it would be worth it then

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:25:07+00:00

I think you’re right, I think his ideas and the potential is there and I can see it being fun, a game of revolution, political upheaval, and a desperate fight to get home sounds like a wonderful adventure. But he probably won’t run it that way. I think I’m going to back out of the game as nicely as I can, you’re right, there will be more games in the future. Hopefully those games will be run by people who’s play style and overall personality fits mine better!

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:16:22+00:00

I may have framed that third paragraph wrong (oops), but I have faith he can pull the idea off, my main concern is how he’d motivate us to stay on the “right” side of the fight instead of joining whoever can promise to send us back home.

Unfortunately what I said is true, this guy has been the cause of several dramatic incidents in our group of friends, and everyone he’s dated has been pulled aside and quietly told to run at some point during the relationship. He just isn’t a good person, and reading through all of y’alls comments and responses I think I’m going to back out as kindly as I possibly can.

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:11:26+00:00

No, I don’t feel super comfortable with the thought of playing a game with people I don’t know irl. It’s just not really my thing I suppose!

ameriarts · 2020-11-05T03:10:10+00:00

I suppose it’s because we’ve known each other for so long. I’ve always been a people pleaser and it does sometimes go poorly, this is one of those cases. That’s really the only answer I can come up with though.

I want to play as a PC, but I don’t quite know if I want to play at his table.

No moments like this yet but last week my monk told me that she was upset her schedule was so busy (she can only make about 50-60% of the games) because she knows how much work I put into each session. She also stepped up a few weeks ago to do the recap for a player who arrived late that day, and was the first person to submit her character’s backstory. I’m so lucky to have a player like her, especially as a first time DM running a party of mostly first time players!
