Hello Reddit, I have a sad problem.

I've been running the Dragonlance campaign for a few years now, and one of our players had to leave. To make a long story short, the remaining players and I decided on bringing in a new player. After some searching, I decided to introduce one of my coworkers, which I call John, to the group. We had a One Shot game to "vibe check" him, and at the time it seemed pretty alright.

Fast forward a year later, my three "OG" players met with me and told me that they didn't like John. All for various reasons.

- The first one is pissed that every attempt at interacting with him falls flat. John calls himself a "roleplay first" kinda guy, but it seems that he has failed to fulfill that promise and that player is starting to loath any interactiom involving him.

- The second player is our host, and they told me that John have displayed some "etiquette issues". I don't know what he did, but they told me that they don't want him in their home again.

- The third player didn't really vibe with John from the start and gave him the benefit of the doubt, but, to quote him, "this benefit is starting to waver".

The thing is: I personnally have no problem with John. I think he's fun and brings a different dynamic to the group, but I can clearly see that this change in dynamic was never evem wanted in the first place. To me it feels kind of awkward to have to tell him "sorry, the guys don't like you anymore" (obviously I won't say it like that, but it will really boil down to that). And more importantly, it feels like the OG players are ganging up on him through me. The OG players are among my best friend so in this situation I want to and will side with them, but it feels unfair to kick someone who never wronged *me*.

Edit: Oof, didn't expect this post to get this much attention. Some comments made me realise a few things. So I gave a bit more context to someone who seemed to have asked the right question and went to sleep, 8h later it spiraled from this piece of info. The context: John has this habit of turning roleplay prompt into jokes. The two examples I gave where: - The elf player who got her backstory turned into an incest joke, which happened a year ago (it's one of the first roleplay interaction John had with the players) - An unprompted joke on the KKK, which happened last session.

Many of you told me I was "burying the lead" or that I was "biased toward John". I'm not. The first example is the worst we got from him, I called him out on it and he even apologized. The second joke I mentionned, I totally missed that one and it's Player 1 who told me after he left "hey, that was pretty fucked up what he said, hue?" And I needed slme more explanation on that one. Thing is: I miss a lot of things. My friends (the "OG" players) and I have a somewhat crude sense of humor so I didn't immediately marked off John's as the issue, knowing I had already shut down those breaking player boundaries. I wasn't trying to "bury the lead", I just genuinely had no idea this could be the issue because even the affected player took some times to tell me about the jokes I missed. Someone here happened to make me talk about it and apparently that was the right question to open the real can of worm.

When I said that he never wronged me, I obviously wasn't talking about the jokes. I was talking about the kind of issues player 2 (Host) seems to have with him. I still have no idea what these issues are, the only thing I'm aware of is about some money John owe Host and he never repaid them. But Host assured me that this was not the issue at hands so I'm lost on this one.

Anyway, thanks for the replies, it makes me realize I have way more of a leg to stand on when I'll break the news to him. And to that one person who told me they hoped my campaign died because I accidently misdirected you all: chill man, go touch some grass or something.

Finally getting to play the character that's been living rent-free in my head for years!

This is Brünhilde Friggsdottir, "The Mourning Queen", a frost-themed Valkyrie inspired by Norse legends and my inability to make emotionally stable characters!

Couldn't be happier with how she turned out 💙 She's everything I wanted in a D&D character: dramatic, tragic, stubborn, etc… and carrying enough emotional baggage to need its own inventory slot and that’s on period !

Feel free to share your opinions, we all grow by leaning on each other ! 💙 Much love !

Seeking advice and grace.

Throwaway and omitting details, because the people I currently play with I met through Reddit.

Title sums up well. I am a very sensitive person, and I started playing DnD 12 years ago thanks to my brother who pulled me out of loneliness and depression. He dragged me into his group of friends trying this game with dice and it became my way to meet people consistently. It saved me. I am still friends with them, meeting regularly live.

Nowadays I play mostly online. I sought more and more days to play the game and replicate those feelings and expand my circle of acquaintances and friends. I am glad of the people i have met. I believed I am friends with them, especially after nearly 5 years spent in the same campaign, and branching out to other games with the same rotation of players.

However... We are different people, and I see it better after years now. I often don't feel like my sensitivity is understood, or tolerated, anymore. The silences after I say something in-character fill me with doubt. Like I'm walking on egg shells, what my character wants isn't nearly as important as any other character wants. I seek roleplaying and the interactions I seek have voiceless narrations instead of the NPCs others get. I have brought concerns up with the DM and often I feel like my needs weren't considered, let alone implemented. Nothing too overpowered, just to feel like I'm at the same level of the party members.

No ties in the game. Every character has gotten personal background storylines, details of their birthplaces, mine has been hiccupping with snippets of lore but nothing conclusive, whenever we are in "my" hometown it's kept to a bare minimum, no definite goal to look forward to.

I feel the difference, the discrepancy, and yet when I try to voice it out I am met with awkward silences. And I feel in the wrong, being the minority.

Now I dread the days I have to play. It makes me suffer in a way I can't voice with the people I have "known" for years because they either can't or don't understand my point of view. I realize they aren't meant to, that managing somebody else's feelings can be both hard, stressing and frustrating... But to the same people that tell me "I love you" or "we are friends" I would expect a modicum of understanding, or a ear to lend to, that never seems to come. Maybe I don't deserve it.

I am afraid of leaving the games, I don't want to return to that loneliness, I fell back into depression many times and I am so mortally afraid of making bad choices that would land me back there.

At the same time, these games aren't fun anymore.

With the understanding that I am 1) human, 2) flawed and not blameless, and 3) suffering,

What should I do? I feel horrible being unable to enjoy a game I used to love, that taught me English and now to speak with people in general, due to not being able to feel safe and understood among people I call Friends.

"There’s no way out. I’ve trapped myself in this tomb so It won’t escape. I can feel It boiling inside of me. Desperate. Furious. It threatens and pleas. But there’s no way out. Nothing but a mile of sand above me. To any who find this, heed my warning. I know not by which means you have reached here, but you must go back. Once It consumes you, there’s no way out. You will kill and destroy to no satisfaction You will become My vessel and suffer the fate of everything I see and touch. You will burn and engulf the world in My HATRED

I WILL BE FREE

THERE’S NO WAY OUT"

Distracted by the murals on the wall, and an ancient warning etched on it's bricks, this explorer falls prey to a primordial force that will see them become its vessel.
How will they deal with their new found power, and urges...

Thank you so much for your support :)

I am one of 7 players in a campaign thats gone for 6 sessions, and my party moves painfully slow. typically the dm will ask us what we want to do and everyone just goes crickets, after the silence I chime in and point out two or three things that our party might need to do but that doesn't seem to spur anyone to speak up. For example, we met for 4 hours last Friday and all we managed was 1) Picking a tavern 2) Deciding what to eat 3) getting into a carriage 4) Taking turns doing watch. Everyone is very sweet but they are a little meek and I don't want to bulldoze over anyone, if anyone has wisdom for making a more comfortable atmosphere please share!
