Recently I've joined a new campaign as a player. One of the players is my good friend. The other 4 and the DM are new people I've never met before in my life.

I've been very excited to finally be a player. The campaign was interesting, the DM was good, and there was very good chemistry between the players from day one. The whole group is heavily roleplay-based, and we just clicked instantly like a bunch of theater kids we are. We are all in our 20s, including the DM.

The problems started when my friend mentioned our campaign where I am the DM. It was during that little friendly talk when preparing for the session. My friend is a bit of a happy bubbly chatterbox, so they excitedly shared with other players the adventures they had a couple of days prior as their other character. It was an important moment for their story and they were so so inspired and still in that headspace. Then they proceeded to talk about how awesome I was and how I did such a good job as a DM. I said something along the lines of "ha ha yeah but don't forget you're CharX now, not CharY" to gently get them back to the current campaign.

Then I turn away from my friend and I see the DMs face drop. And nothing has been the same ever since.

Every time my character makes a plan, it ends up not working for reasons I couldn't forsee or control. I play a support healing and buffing character, but every time we're in battle I'm the first to be targeted, whether the enemy is intelligent enough to take the support down first or not, whether I stand closer or further away from the battlegrounds. NPC refuse to give me important information no matter how I word the question but happily give it to the rest of the party even if the question was rude or meta. I never get any dm specials, like an npc that has ties to me because of my backstory or a spotlight moment, while other players get this a lot.

This was not an issue before. It only started to happen when it became known I also DM. And every time my friend mentioned "our game" later it kept getting worse.

Now I admit I have never mentioned this before, and perhaps it was seen as withholding information or misleading behavior. But we barely talked with this DM outside of direct game-related communication. I just didn't think it mattered I guess.

I have never been disruptive it this game. I have never corrected the DM about rules or anything. I'm very animated and theatrical, but this whole group is. In battle I track the initiative and conditions and sometimes I say something like "hey DM, this goblin is still burning" or "hey player, you're up next and your Blindness is over", but I only do it because it's easier for myself to keep track this way, and as a bonus it takes away the cognitive load from everyone else. At our first battle encounter (before the Cursed Talk) the DM actually thanked me for doing this.

Now how can I approach the issue without it getting worse?

I don't think it's reasonable to tell somebody "hey I think you're jealous. Why don't you like me?"

I've tried to ask if I needed to change something in my playstyle or character to better accommodate the narrative. I was told everything is fine.

I've already asked my friend to avoid this topic in conversations at this table, but it's seems to be on their mind a lot and it slips here and there. Plus other players have started to ask me polite questions about DMing or my campaign.

Man, all I wanted to do was to be a little guy doing little quests in his little life. 😢

I’m saying this to all you folks out there who want to make a unique or edgy character: YOUR CHARACTER NEEDS TO HAVE MOTIVATION THAT WOULD MAKE THEM BE IN A PARTY IN WHATEVER WORLD YOU ARE IN. The attempt to make something different leads to other players and your DM trying to work around you and it stops being fun very quickly. The PC can be an asshole but they are your party’s asshole. If your character has trauma use it to fuel their growth not to slow down the party or constantly throw a wrench in whatever plans are already made. I am saying this as someone who has played with problem PC’s and tried to fix it in game but now we’re at the point where no one is having any fun because there is an evil “traumatized” character to refuses to actually do anything that party is doing.

They can be dark, edgy, whatever but they need to work as a team or you will be killing the fun of DND. ITS A TEAM SPORT! NOT A SOLO RUN!

Very first character!

I made my very first DnD character! I’m playing my very first campaign of dnd this month and was able to bring this vision to life. I’m aiming for a drunk monk/ fungal brewing Druid. I am Thrain Ironbelly, a Dwarf that has been gathering resources for decades to make new brews to see if I can find helpful remedies on the battlefield or will create tasty drink! I’m not much of a weapons bearer but there’s not too many things on the green earth I wouldn’t be willing to grapple. I want to drink my strength and drown my enemies.

I’m really new to so much about this and would love any and all feedback! I have an image of what I’m envisioning for the character but I wasn’t sure if it would be well received to share on this thread. I think my stats are fairly well balanced and I have a couple of spells that I am trying to be able to use like goodberry, I just don’t think I have the level requirement? Not too sure. Anyways please give me any feedback to make me a better player!

Standard stuff because unless the weapons have curse of vanishing or have a timer that self destruct, the party could just take it for themself.

So remember when you are making an encounter because you need to plan the story ahead even if the party didnt take the weapon.

Just a heads up type of stuff

This was part of my own little rabbit hole of making military-oriented dnd designs.(borderline cyberpunk at this point...)

Here: inspired by war in Ukraine is a homebrewed concept for swarmkeeper. Or "swarm operator", as I like to call it. This guy is using himself as a small carrier for his kamikaze bees/wasps. Guided by ranger, they can scout, track and target enemies at long distance. I even got him half of his face evolved(or mutated) into multi-windowed google.
Two other unspecified rangers are guarding his rear.

So my buddy is starting up a campaign and the long story short of it is the God of death is the big bad and we're supposed to be against him and his evil self, now we have some Rugrats in the group (a street rat rogue etc) but nothing as bad as this guys character, he's playing a War forged Artificer who's back story is that he murdered his creator and now wears his skin as a suit every single day... Like what? Thats just villainous like it seems like a Taboo and the setting is a massive city with more than half the population of our world in said city.. Am I wrong for having a huge problem with this guys character? Do I bring it up to the DM? (I'm not exactly UNCOMFORTABLE with the character and more just not sure how the character fits the party as he seems evil)

Edit: Brought it up with the DM and they simply said that the plan for the War forged character doesn't end in him being a villain and that he doesn't see it as an issue, I pushed for a change and he said "Don't bring it up with me, bring it up with him." Now I don't know if I should just leave the group or deal with the character regardless.
