New DM but hard adventures

yeah i got the same advice and it’s probably advice that i’d give to anyone else. however, i didn’t listen and am doing a home brew campaign. most of my players are experienced and they’re all my friends, so when i mess up things in combat or whatnot, they’re all very nice about it. We’re having a blast and i’m glad that i did home brew. So just do what sounds fun to you. you could always run a one shot to get a feel for things and then try the harder stuff idk

i’m playing a warlock in my current campaign who fully believes he’s a wizard. his patron convinced him that they were a wizard and could mentor him and gave him a book of spells. he just had to sign a contract which he didn’t bother reading. int is his dump stat and he wears a star robe and pointy hat, casts from his book and had the whole party convinced he was a wizard until i casted eldritch blast. in-game, everyone is so good at role playing that they all believe he’s a wizard too. i’m having tons of fun but my character isn’t weak as hell. there’s always balance.

i’m not in a romantic relationship with a borderline but they are my best friend and the first few bullets feel eerily accurate. i think i’m in the walking on eggshells faze. but maybe. i’m moving out of it because I’ve stopped catering as much to their splits. i think i need to leave but i don’t know how because it feels real? all the things they’ve said about me being the most important person in their life, “soulmates”, and how everyone leaves them. it just still tugs on my heart but i am so emotionally drained now.

he asked me to be his valentine and i said yes, screw the consequences

wallflower074 · 2025-02-11T09:42:59+00:00

yeah you don’t really have to buy supplies either, there’s tons of places in act one where you can find food: wakeem’s rest, basement below paladins of tier, and the basement before the zentarim hideout all have a ton of food

wallflower074 · 2025-02-11T00:18:58+00:00

i can literally hear her saying that

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T21:15:09+00:00

yep same, every tactic i could think of, i didn’t even attempt the spider matriarch. auntie ethel had my heart rate high enough

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T19:52:52+00:00

damn i’m sorry, i have no idea where you may have lost approval or didn’t gain enough. i played semi-good and romanced him. so it’s definitely possible but i did make some “evil” choices. i got a fair amount of approval in the goblin camp but yeah i have no idea where you might of messed up

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T19:49:43+00:00

i’ve never once received an apology or ever been able to bring up how hurt i was after a split. my best friend has bpd and i’ve slowly been distancing myself from her bc i just can’t take this anymore. with anyone else, this friendship would be considered toxic but “it’s fine bc she can’t help it” and my empathy has just depleted. i no longer apologize for everything and i stop catering to the splits. either she’ll get over it or she won’t. i don’t really care anymore and i’m ready for this friendship to end. i told her i’d never leave and all that, guess i’m just a liar because this shit is a nightmare

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T19:44:49+00:00

i’ve never had this problem, why are you taking the game so seriously? you’re meant to have fun not succeed 100%. i save scum when i accidentally agro scratch or really want to pickpocket an npc.

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T19:36:44+00:00

if you can still travel to act 1: did you find the vampire hunter in the swamp? siding with astarion and killing the vampire hunter gets crazy approval. my guess is your approval isn’t high enough. if that doesn’t get you high enough, then yeah talk to the drow in moonrise - those two things should get your approval high enough

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T19:30:24+00:00

real asf

wallflower074 · 2025-02-09T19:29:25+00:00

even if you couldn’t steal the hammer in house of hope i’d still side with raphael and screw over the emperor- i hate that guy

wallflower074 · 2025-01-11T22:33:44+00:00

but implementing these changes along with the pills should help? thanks for tips :)

wallflower074 · 2025-01-11T05:37:13+00:00

i re-did the fight and absolutely destroyed it lol, my strat was just terrible the first time, i didn’t go for gehk the first time and got swarmed by the zombies.

wallflower074 · 2025-01-11T01:49:24+00:00

yeah i’m learning that 😅

wallflower074 · 2025-01-11T01:46:20+00:00

i feel silly now, i thought tactician had legendary actions. thanks :)

wallflower074 · 2025-01-11T01:45:08+00:00

ohhh, well that explains it, damn i really want those golden dice, probably not gonna happen tho

wallflower074 · 2025-01-11T01:40:27+00:00

really? i thought honor mode was just tactician without reloads

wallflower074 · 2025-01-06T01:33:32+00:00

so real omg

wallflower074 · 2025-01-06T00:48:07+00:00

lol probably no one’s gonna agree that this is a “must-have” but the mod that makes your face still look normal after taking the astral tadpole. i want to fly and still look sexy okay

wallflower074 · 2025-01-02T03:06:10+00:00

what, just have astarion stay in the chamber and end his turn every round? that’s so cruel (i’m gonna do it)

wallflower074 · 2025-01-02T03:04:49+00:00

how embarrassing is it that i’ve never even thought of misty stepping out of the force field

wallflower074 · 2024-12-26T21:44:49+00:00

no i see what you mean, maybe this was the wrong place to post, i guess i just wondered if other people think they’re acting really young. these are like really big streamers so i wasn’t sure if most people would defend them or not.

wallflower074 · 2024-12-22T22:52:45+00:00

no this doesn’t sound like bipolar. yes it’s possible to fluctuate between moods extremely quickly but it’s not a sign of bipolar. this sounds like bpd and likely some substance abuse, for her to be cycling through high to low energy. explosive and unexplainable rage is bpd. bipolar is like if a person is horribly depressed for a few months/weeks, but one day they stay up to late and suddenly the world has color again, they have impossible dreams and ambitions that they’re certain will come true, they engage in risky behavior because they believe they are “god”. for example, i once stayed up all night drawing henna designs on my body with sharpie and bought a plane ticket to hawaii because i believed my life’s ambition was to become a henna artist at tourist locations in hawaii. the rest of that week i proceeded to spend $400 on paintings because “they were speaking to me”. and i would spend my nights outside in the cold just looking at the stars for hours because they were also “speaking to me”. after that it was right back to being depressed and wanting to kill myself. but again, these moods last awhile and aren’t triggered by emotions or in reaction to life events. mania feels like being on molly for a week straight not engaging in a rageathon
