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!

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?

Edit: I brought it up with the DM and he agreed, apparently I didn't notice but the DM was not present in the call at the time and had no idea this player's character was like that, I appreciate everyone's advice it definitely made me feel better about having a problem with this, will post a final edit when I know what the players next move is regarding his character.

For a friend's bachelor party we organized a weekend getaway in a small castle found on Airbnb in the middle of Italy. He is a DM himself and is running two parallel campaigns of CoS for most of the people who were invited, so we thought it would be nice for him to be a player this time.

There were 7 players and only two of them had never played before.

I worked a lot on this story but I kept thinking it would have been too short, so kept adding more details and stuff. Hand picked different music for each location, and made a custom intro song that acted as the background explanation. I even made some props potions, 3 different bottles of alcoholic drinks with custom labels that they received from an NPC, and they had to drink a shot to get the effects in the game. Everyone had a lot of fun, even the guys who never played!

The problem is... In 4 hours we barely did 30% of the campaign 😂 I totally underestimated the chaos that these guys would make with their characters.

We'll try to finish it sometime, hopefully.

Ps. Yes, the bard was actually playing the guitar!

I know tabaxi are not supposed to look like tigers, but I took the liberty. So she’s a simple bard tabaxi from the jungle of Chult.
She ran away because she’s under a curse that forbids her to remember where her hometown is, and to remember her birth name. She tried to comme back home but somehow she never managed to. Anyone who knew her also forgot her name. What’s funny about it is that her story begins when she turned the page. She accepted that she will never be able to go back home, or understand what happened to her. She simply decided to find her own new path. She took the name Rodrigues (with an S because she doesn’t know how to spell it properly). She’s really socially awkward and clumsy, so it’s really fun to play as her (she’s obsessed with gold and money).
She once had a son, whose name she forgot too, and she’s searching for a way to bring him back, thinking that with him, she will finally fell home somewhere.

Found abandoned as an infant near a forgotten woodland shrine outside Baldur’s Gate, Elaria was raised by Vaelor, a retired elven Painbearer who taught her that true holiness lies in carrying the suffering of others. Within the quiet sanctuary of druids and wounded creatures, she grew deeply connected to the spirits of the forest, able to feel pain, grief, and decay as if they were her own. During her First Suffering, a violent forest spirit awakened after desperate loggers invaded sacred land, and Elaria sacrificed herself through an ancient rite to absorb the spirit’s wrath and save both sides from slaughter. The ritual left a scar along her face, transformed one of her arms with spectral nature magic, and crowned her with antlers like the ancient guardians of old. Since then, she has wandered the realms as a mysterious druid healer known as the Elf Druid of the Emerald Veil, carrying the burdens of both mankind and the wilds alike.

The other day I presented this group with some options for four characters that I wanted to play in Curse of Strahd, all four were a bit edgy I'll admit and I'm amenable to advice and rethinking character ideas, So I came up with an idea I think might fit the setting a bit more.

The Concept is a Ms. Rachel inspired necromancer. Instead of playing an edgy and brooding character, how about a Necromancer that is cheerful. happy, even optimistic? Instead of undead thralls, they're reflavored as her "undead friends" and she treats them as equals, asking them for advice and their opinions on topics.

Moreover, Instead of just taking control of bones or corpses, She uses speak with dead to ask permission before she reanimates them?

Think "Gentle Parent" meets Necromancer meets Environmentalist hippy.
