One day I will get all my ideas for dnd content completed and complete a campaign.

Right?!

Ok I love playing dnd but when a single encounter goes on for 3+ hours and has been the entire session I’m kind of taken out of it tbh. I’m a wizard at level 3, I get no bonus actions. My entire turn is “I move 5 ft and cast spell” and then it misses and I have to wait 30 minutes until my next turn.

I am so fucking stupid

O got kicked out of my RPG group cus I couldn't find the message telling everyone to enter the other RPG group

So yeah now it's officially the third time I failed in joining a fucking campaign

The world is against me or it's a sine from the universe that I should probably listen

rant

so i love dnd, so much. I love hanging out with my friends and chatting/goofing off and just enjoying their company, but increasingly over the last few months, i havent been able to play as id like. I dont live where i used to and calling into my games is a nightmare. they have mics but they echo, cut out, and just dont really sound great. My headphones are having some connection issues sometimes, causing audio to cut in and out. I have an auditory processing disorder so i cant make out what is being said often, in person or over a call/vc. I can get by in person okay if its quiet and one person is talking, but if multiple people are talking i cant make out what is being said. Pair that with 3 to 5 people with bad mics talking over each other and I just cant fucking hear! The sounds over call just jumble in my head and I cant make out what people are saying. im so frustrated every week and its just getting to the point where i want to quit. Stop playing with my friends until i move back, if i ever get to.

im so isolated and ive basically lost one of the few things that brings me joy. Its hard to enjoy myself when im sitting alone trying to hear whats happening, asking for clarification and not being heard when i try to speak up. multiple times ive tried to say something and no one responds or they keep talking without acknowledging me. I dont think they are doing this on purpose, but i am so frustrated.

People lacking empathy and self awareness are scary af.

Buddy hit my blades bard - half health him and thinks he's still a good guy. He also gives terrible apologies. Last photo is the baiting incident where I jumped off chat after her joined in. A dm sent the photo claiming his actions were ridiculous.

Darin is also the worst character of mine to mess with. (He morally grey and will hold a grudge. He's a 13 year old oc.)

Dnd is a group effort project, not a game of bugger your neighbor. Attacking friends and acting like your way was the only way to handle things at the risk of others is an evil act. (Quillon and Darin were perfectly fine fighting 5 troll hounds - Darin especially before he got dropped to 4 hp.)

Chaotic stupid is not an alignment.

Just ended my dnd campaign and I'm legitimately crying. The ending was amazing but it feels so bittersweet. Very end of LOTR for frodo kinda feeling for my PC.

She always wanted to just get home but when she did she'd lost so much of herself to get there. She'd killed people pretty brutally by not understanding her own power. She ended the story murdering a woman who had already surrendered (there was good reason but still it was fucked). As much as I as a player felt wonder and deep love for the world my DM made, I never felt like she had ties there or really liked it. It was just an obstacle to stop her getting home that kept throwing things at her where doing what she had to to survive made her a worse person. She only got home by fully embracing that darkness. And now she has to deal with being home, a place she always had to hide, with a chunk of that darkness with her. And without her friend who she never got to say goodbye to because he stayed behind without telling them.

Our rouge and I decided the two of them would stay together as businesspartners. His family would probably accept her and give her a job and protection. They're returning as basically gods given the tech and powers they gained. She can check on her family, whom she loves dearly. She couldn't have stayed. She never would have been happy there. But she's not returning the same and she's not really better for it.

Goodbye Prim, I loved our adventure together. I'll miss you
