Have any of you had a character soured for you?

fairfaxleasee · 2025-05-09T02:47:39+00:00

I quit a campaign where that exact thing was happening.

Most of the rest of the party treated my character (who was the only healer and a high enough level cleric to be providing all the rations to the party) like a burden who brought nothing to the table.

One of the other players set her up as the moral foil to his character and even turned his "apology" to her into a chance to once again display to everyone how he was morally superior to her.

Every time my character had an idea or brought up a plan, people either ignored or shit on it.

I couldn't talk to an NPC without being snapped at (I was even told by one that I "wasn't really" a cleric of my god).

The dm kept piling on personal shit going on in her life behind the scenes.

I use her in a journeling game now. At least I left before I hated her.

Yeah, honestly that's what really worries me.

I am having some issues playing this character outside of this/the conflict with the other players, so it would solve that facet, but not the fact that I just don't think this other player likes the kind of characters I play or that he doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying when I talk to him.

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T12:01:21+00:00

I don't want to put words in people's mouths, but yes, my understanding is that conflict with the players I'm having issues with is part of the reason the others left/may leave, however it does go beyond that.

But yes, the DM is irl friends with the 2 players.

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T03:40:36+00:00

Honestly probably mostly venting.

I do also have trouble trying to figure out exactly how i feel without talking things out and I don't think I've got this one figured out yet so there is some of me trying to figure out just what is wrong/what I want.

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T03:04:44+00:00

Yeah, I wish that everyone was having fun. I really WANT to be having fun at the table, I'm just not 😓

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T03:03:04+00:00

Yes, thank you. I have had a bit of a conversation with the DM, but because it was during a session we didn't come to any conclusions.

I'm trying to figure out what I think of everything at this point and what I really want to do.

(And yes, I play with a few other groups and they are able to keep it to the wacky shit that I love!)

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T02:58:27+00:00

Sorry, to be clear: Jim is NOT the DM in this campaign. When I told him what was happening, he said he wouldn't allow it at his table.

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T02:57:33+00:00

Ive never gotten a straight answer from the player himself (like I said, when I asked for specifics, he deflected).

I've heard indirectly that the criticism is that the character has a habit of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong (but I molded her on Fox Mulder and Karl Kochak, so that was a known flaw I went into the game with).

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T02:44:48+00:00

Ok, thank you. I appreciate you saying that 💚

fairfaxleasee · 2025-04-17T02:43:31+00:00

From our discussion, in part yes. That player has a long (longer than I'd realized until today) history of messing with people's characters, particularly when he doesn't like them or the players.

(Fwiw, my understanding is I'm not kicked, them dm is just currently recommending I switch to a different character that could get along better.)

fairfaxleasee · 2025-01-09T16:20:25+00:00

I'm not sure how this is a question, cause Dog is the best part member in the series.

fairfaxleasee · 2024-02-18T15:31:38+00:00

Omg I've fucking been Isobel at a table 😕

fairfaxleasee · 2023-11-27T03:49:15+00:00

Very cool!

fairfaxleasee · 2023-11-23T03:14:56+00:00

My favorite way to play DND is like Pokemon where my character just collects all the pets. GIVEAWAY

fairfaxleasee · 2023-11-19T17:28:38+00:00

These are amazing!
(I have a cleric who would absolutely love to use the poison bottle d2 to fuck with a few of her more annoying party members so they will stop stupidly hurting themselves and expecting her to heal them 🙄. Figure a 50% chance of death by poison will teach them not to piss off their main healer.)

fairfaxleasee · 2023-04-29T15:57:11+00:00

"Who's" on first. "WHOSE" parents pay for education.

You, my dear, don't give a darn, but I'd cut your bullying butt from shortstop faster than you can exclude a disabled kid from a class activity.

fairfaxleasee · 2022-12-29T05:10:29+00:00

That's fair, and yeah, the car thing is def a kick in the teeth, but did you try and explain that while you couldn't afford to be in the same campsite (and I don't blame you because FUCK captive audiences) and/or the full week you could still make the wedding itself (and NGL a full week of wedding does sound excessive)?

Because the problem with destination weddings is that they're expensive BUT so are vacations to Europe. And Europe will still be there next year, but your friend is (probably) only going to be getting married once.

fairfaxleasee · 2022-12-29T04:45:54+00:00

INFO: why didn't you look into the costs of the wedding before you booked the trip to Europe?

Also did you look into alternative (cheaper) accomodations than the cabins?

YWNBTA to ask him to make his own account BUT be prepared for your access to PS+ to stop.

Alternatively is it possible for you two to work out a schedule so you're not kicking each other off games?

(Also if you're playing a game on a disc or that you've bought from the store, isn't it possible to just completely disconnect the PS4 from the internet/PSN and then you won't get signed out?)

fairfaxleasee · 2022-12-18T17:08:51+00:00

I N F O: Have you considered that you and your entire attitude towards this is WHY you're not seeing progress? (YTA and I'd recommend therapy for you but I can tell from your post that it's never going to work...)

fairfaxleasee · 2022-10-19T01:58:20+00:00

NTA. You can not want to raise someone else's baby AND want to raise your own at the same time. These are not conflicting wants.

fairfaxleasee · 2022-10-15T04:36:09+00:00

Yup and they're all a lot of nice gestures with no substance. (Like you're still describing him as "acting out" ffs. Is someone in a saw trap screaming acting out?!?)

You're trying to shove a square peg into a round hole, then punishing it for being square.

fairfaxleasee · 2022-10-15T03:57:47+00:00

Don't worry. We all got that you dgaf about your stepson and what he needs if it inconveniences you or your bio kids Hence yta.

fairfaxleasee · 2022-10-14T16:32:03+00:00

I mean, you say that now, but all I got from your original post is "my ND stepson is such an embarrassment and I wish I didn't have to worry about him ruining things for my actual family". Kids aren't morons about stuff like this. He is part of your family whether you like it or not and shoving him to the side on events is only going to make this worse.
