Recently, a new player joined our group of two years. Not an actual name, but let’s call him “Jack.” He’s a friend of the DM’s (who is my boyfriend), and it’s one of the first times playing DnD. We’ve been playing for a couple months, and so far, most things have been fine.

I should mention that this is a college DnD group, and Jack is a senior, so he knows he’ll be leaving in a few weeks. Because of that, he’s been talking with the DM about plans for the future of his character. I should also mention that, as one of our players just left, I’m the only woman at the table.

A couple weeks ago, Jack pulled me aside, saying he would want to talk to me. He said that, after his character died, he was wondering if my character could be tasked with the responsibility of “finding or creating a new body” for his character. At first, I thought it was cool. The idea of possibly finding a corpse or giving a body a second chance.

When I mentioned this, he stopped me, and specified that he would want this creature to be a child. I was confused. He then said that he would like it if his soul could go into that of my character, so that she would be pregnant with the reincarnation of him.

I was shocked. He saw this and specified that, the father of the child would still be my PC’s love interest, but he thought it would be “cool” to have an angel born of two devils (my pc and her love interest are tieflings). I kinda just stared at him and said “no,” and then left it at that.

Jack said he cleared it up with DM before the session, but when I talked to my boyfriend, he said he had no idea that’s what he meant. Like me, he thought that we would be tasked with creating a grown body or finding a corpse.

This past week I’ve been so uncomfortable. I talked to my boyfriend a bit about my frustration, and we both agree that it wasn’t out of a place of malevolence from Jack. He didn’t mean it as a bad thing, but as a woman it made me so uncomfortable. Especially because, had it been a male character playing a female PC, Jack probably wouldn’t have asked them to do this.

Yesterday’s we had the next session and I never realized how mad I was until we were playing again. I was painfully aware that I was the only girl in the group. Even with the other two male players at the table, I felt a bit isolated from them, despite having played with them for a couple years.

Every campaign Ive been in, I’ve had something like this happen. When I was thirteen, another PC attacked my character because she wouldn’t pretend to date him. Another PC once watched my character while he slept to “keep an eye on him.”

This was the first campaign I’ve played where I felt completely comfortable around the other guys at the table, but now I don’t. I probably would have left the campaign to be honest, but this is my boyfriend’s world and he puts so much work into it.

I talked to him about it yesterday, and he said he was so sorry I felt this way. He immediately offered to kick Jack from the table, saying if Jack was mad, then that was his problem. He also offered to invite a mutual friend of ours, who is a girl, to play instead.

I want to take him up on both offers, but I feel like I’m overreacting a bit. I want the opinion of other people here. Am I holding too much of a grudge? It was only one incident, but when I see Jack I just get so mad because I feel isolated. I’ve never felt fully accepted in a lot of nerd circles because I’m a woman, but maybe I just need to get over it?

What do I do?

EDIT:

I just realized I forgot to add a very important detail. Made this post in a rush and didn’t think it would get this much attention this quickly.

DM talked to Jack nearly right after it happened, and Jack apologized to me. Last night, he voluntarily offered to leave, and I didn’t respond to him in discord, so he did.

This is one of the reasons I’m so conflicted that I’m overreacting. He does feel sorry about it, but I’m still just so uncomfortable at the table now.

Will you watch this? Since it has Neil and Devora I will give it a try.

Bram & Suna, we know which of them actually keeps the party alive.

If you saw them in a tavern, you’d think Bram was the one doing all the heavy lifting. He’s loud, he’s got the scars, and he never shuts up about his combat prowess. But if you watch them in a dungeon, the truth comes out pretty fast. Bram is the shield, sure, but Suna is the one who makes sure the shield doesn't shatter.

This drawing was inspired by the end of our last arc, where Bram almost bit it trying to save a village. He acts tough until he’s down to single-digit HP, and then he’s looking for Suna like a lost puppy. Their relationship isn't about being perfect heroes; it's about the grit and the messiness of adventuring together. She mends his armor and his ego, and he makes sure nothing gets close enough to touch her. It’s a perfect balance of steel and sanctuary, and honestly, I don't think either of them would survive a week of adventuring without the other.

Hi all, pretty much like the title says - two of my players became parents about a year ago and want to keep doing their hobby, so they bring their now 1 year old baby with them. It wasn't so bad the first few months as he'd settle quickly, but we play in the evenings (due to the contrary work schedules of three of the players, including the kid's Dad) and the last hour almost always has crying as the backdrop. It's not the kid's fault, his bedtime usually around 8pm and we usually start at 6-7pm and finish at 10-11pm, so that's a long time to expect a baby to be quiet!

The problem is, I've had the conversation with the parents before - I know it can be hard to get childcare, so I spoke to the mother a few months ago and asked that they leave the baby with someone else more often than not, as it's not fair on the kid or the other players. The parents agreed and it worked well for a while, until one session where the mother reminded the father they needed to leave or warn the sitter they were running late, and the father insisted that it would be fine and to keep playing for another hour, despite the DM (my partner was running this particular session) asking several times if they were sure. Later it turned out because the parents were so late picking up their kid, the father's parents were mad so they asked if the baby could come to the next session while their family cooled off. Theoretically fine, but we're coming up to four sessions in a row with a screaming baby in the background, and even if he's not crying one of the parents is distracted or we have a kid's movie playing in the background for most of the session.

I really don't want to put my foot down as I understand it can be difficult and they are both good friends and great players, and I don't want to isolate them, but it's really difficult to keep up the sweeping narratives, the threat levels, the emotional RP, and the personalised quests when we've no idea if a baby will be there and which player will be more distracted looking after him that week.

I've spoken with the co-DM, and we've agreed to prepare some silly, simple oneshots for sessions rather than the current campaign where the parents can't get childcare, but I wanted one of us to talk to them in person before putting our foot down and I've not had the opportunity yet as they were sick this weekend. Like I said, I know adaptations can be made but I'm guessing at what the parents need as I'm not a parent myself, and the players are first-time parents so I'm not sure they know what they need either, making everything harder.

I guess I needed to rant, and to get all the context out - TLDR: what would you do/suggest if there's a good chance a baby will be at the session? I especially want to hear from any parents who play, but any advice on how to approach this is welcome!

New dm here.

So my party is lvl 2 right now and last session they had they accidentally managed to capture the bbeg. One of my party members was controlling this character and had the task to not be found out, steal an artifact and book it.

Unfortunately, he got found out and didn't manage to escape. Now, for balancing reasons I kept this character at lvl 5 so if he had to pvp, he doesn't just 1shot the party by accident.

To my horror, even with a 16 armor class, my party managed to make like, 8 succes vhecks and managed to essentially capture my (potential) BBEG. They sre level two and they shouldn't be able to do so.

I don't want to make it feel like it was rigged from the start, especially if they had good coordination and luck, but I kind of do not know where to go from here.

Any dms have any tips of a way to handle this without making my players upset?

Edit:

One of my party members found the post. Small F

I read the book "The monsters know what they're doing", and it showed me how to play goblins properly, and they are really scary!

I was DM'ing the Phandelver and below/The Shattered Obelisk, and the first encounter is a 4 goblin ambush. The three players started a lvl 3, so I decided to up the number to 6 goblins.

Without the understanding I had before, I might just have had the goblins storm forward and get mown down instantly, but now... oh no.

Goblins are ambushers who can hide as a bonus action. Given the abundance of cover around the road/ambush site, they shot their short bows (with advantage), moved and then used their bonus action to hide, essentially becoming invisible.

Next round, they shoot (with advantage because they were hidden), move, hide. Rinse, repeat. It was a massacre and it could have easily been a TPK.

Because of the advantage when attacking from hiding, they do 1d6+2 + 1d4 damage per attack with a double chance of critting. And because they would hide, it is very hard to even find them to attack them back. They only need a 9 on the die to succeed at hiding because they get a +6 on stealth.

The players will really have to get their act together because the next encounter is the goblin hideout... Next time!

Shame be upon me

After more than 20 years of playing D&D...
After all the memes about it, the jokes, the “Can you imagine?!”, it finally happened to me.

I thought I was immune to it... I thought it only happened to careless fools.
I always took precautions. If I had any doubt, I’d triple-check.

But it wasn’t enough. I was betrayed by the girl I care most about... Why did I trust her, WHY?!
My love for her blinded me to her cruel and careless actions. Her smile made me forget how someone can hurt you so much and laugh at your pain.

But really, I’m the one to blame... I should... I should have known. It was easy to predict. All the girls like her are the same and act the same. Without a care in the world about the consequences of their actions.

Why did I trust my 2-year-old daughter with my spare dice?! How could I forget about the d4s?!? And how could I walk so confidently around the area where she was playing with them????

My foot...
My poor, innocent left foot.

Hello,

this is recent character sheet Ive done, of a battle mage character.
The character is young battle mage, recruited straight out of academy to the military ranks.
Still inexperienced, thinks of the war as sort of adventure, and takes things lighter than he should. Has decent ability and knowledge as a wizard, but because of a long army history in his family, he decided to enroll in a academy, and pursue army life. His family name and contacts in the army provided him with a higher rank, which he thinks reflects his natural leading abilities.
But time will only tell if he will rise to the occasion or fall under pressure.

Had fun working on this and exploring different ideas for the character.
