Zachary Ortiz
Tell them that if they're going to use your house to play then they need to stop smoking (or at least do it outside where it won't stink the place up) and end the games earlier?
Dylan Barnes

Wow. You exist in an amazing quantum superposition of fucked and not-fucked simultaneously. I suggest you call a lawyer and a domestic abuse hotline.
Austin Wright
If she wants to keep the group, guess you have to babysit them and try to steer it in a better direction.
Start next time with "My house smelled of weed, this is unacceptable, if it happens again we won't be meeting here anymore." If they don't respect that, there's no hope, and your wife can't really disagree.
Justin Nelson
>and your wife can't really disagree. We live in a clown world where a woman can cheat on her husband, then get a no-fault divorce anyway, and the judge will say it's to protect the sanctity of marriage that we mustn't hold her at fault for cheating. Sure the wife can disagree, and if OP tries to insist, she can sue for marital abuse. Pray she doesn't get unreasonable.
Nolan Sanchez
>ur fukt either way
See, the beauty of having this knowledge is the insight that there's no GREATER penalty for acting like a man - so there's no downside to NOT being a doormat. If we truly live in a world where disapproving of crime is considered "abuse" and breaking an oath can be called "sanctity" then fuck it. Just be yourself.
Everyone else is taken.

>I am a doormat of a human being who has not stood up for himself
1. If people stink up my house without my permission, they can't play there. End of story. If you can't go one gaming session without weed, then you can go fuck up someplace else.
2. I need to sleep. You want to stay up till 1am, but I need to be in bed earlier? I'm calling it an early night, sorry. Also get out of my house when I'm sleeping, because I know you won't be as quiet as you need to be.
3. My SO and me are not the same person. If she wants to play dnd with stoners who stay up forever on weeknights, go for it. But she can't make me do it, and she can't deprive me of sleep for it. That is basic decency.
Adam Walker
>1. If people stink up my house without my permission, they can't play there. End of story. If you can't go one gaming session without weed, then you can go fuck up someplace else. As a stoner that likes to smoke during sessions, I still completely agree with this. Host calls the shots at their house, if you can't respect that then get the fuck out.

>op is cucked by a gang of literal degenerate hippies
you should probably consider ending it all
Nicholas Watson
First off, your wife can play without you. If you don't want to play, don't. Second, tell those shitstains they aren't allowed to smoke in your house and kick their asses out permanently if they refuse. That shit kills the value of your home and doing it without permission in someone else's home is disrespectful as hell.
Tell your wife you aren't going to play anymore and that the group needs to go play elsewhere so you can sleep and not smell weed everywhere.
Evan Sanchez
first post best post.

I'd give you advice but it sounds like the leash you're on is pretty short already.
Luis Murphy
half of these things don't even begin to imply anything to worry about, or anything at all for that matter. are you just too autistic to deal with social interactions with real people?
Thomas Williams
>dickheads smoke weed in your house without asking >nothing to worry about >autistic You're part of the problem.
Landon Stewart
The weed is something you can threaten the whole group with. Even if it's legal in your state, stinking up your house with it is grounds for cancelling the group.
Zachary Wood
If the game is not fun, don't play it. Couples are allowed to do things separately. If your wife desperately wants you to play with her, then that's a conversation the two of you need to have to see if you can find a good compromise.
I run games for, at this point, three couples and a variety of single people. The couples do not always play in the same games as their SO's, and no one has an issue with it, just for reference.
If you do not want people smoking weed when you host, politely inform them of this. If they make an issue of it, and neither side can see a reasonable compromise, kick them out. Again, for reference one of my friends is a teetotaler, and does not especially like being around drunk people. When he hosts, we do not drink alcohol, out of respect for his preferences and his kindness in letting us in to his home.
Sticking to schedule is basic politeness. Kindly inform your group of whatever deadline/time limit you have. My group has a general "The game wraps up by 11" rule. If everyone agrees, the game can go later or end earlier, but we respect people's need to sleep and do not force the issue.
As for the content of the game itself, well... BS D&D is BS D&D. Play a Drow ranger with two swords or something.
Seriously, OP. This is all stuff that can be resolved by polite, direct communication. Be brave and it'll all be fine.
Camden Ortiz
>Game starts 3 hours after scheduled obnoxious.
>gay guy who cares
>plays a girl named Sin. Drow Bard who cares
>>Other gay guy (no relationship) who cares
>plays a gay paladin.. Named Vaast after the Anime, holy gun archetype who cares
>Wife-of-DM plays something, not sure, mostly an NPC as she isn't paying attention obnoxious, but sadly common. i don't know why people insist on including significant others who would clearly rather be somewhere else or why those significant others don't spine up and say they don't want to be there. probably because they're all passive-aggressive faggots like you, OP.
>Finally have to pick them out at 1 AM. Had to be up at 6 for work the next day. did you make that clear before you started?
>House still reeks of weed, not sure who/where they smoked obnoxious, but again, something you (should) be able to prevent a recurrence of, with a little skill known as "communication"
>mfw there's no feat/equipment restrictions who cares
>Wife wont let us leave the game. communication and compromise are important aspects of any relationship.
>How fucked am I, Veeky Forums? you're right, you're totally fucked. the only possible solution is to man up and express your frustrations to the actual people involved instead of whining anonymously to strangers on the internet, and you clearly don't have the sack to do that. i guess your options are to endure a slightly annoying game or to drink bleach.
either thing you pick makes me happy
Camden Roberts
what is talking
Michael Evans
what this story actually reeks of is bull shit. No one is sneaking off into corners of someone's house to secretly smoke weed. They are called sympathy embellishments to stories.
Jack Phillips
Haha OP is a total cuck
3.5 edition I'm guessing?
Daniel Davis
>>Wife finds group through old college friend year dry spell so jump at the opportunity i'd play too if i hadn't had sex in 2 years
Juan Howard
I think he meant dry spell in the context of PnP, not sex.
Lucas Bell
This, also get out of D&D, play something else.
Ryder Barnes
You can't know that!

And if it's not legal in your state, every time any of them lights up, there's a non-trivial chance that a SWAT team will kick your doors down and stick machine guns in your faces, and haul all of you off to jail. Then you get to do the perp walk in the shiny bracelets in front of TV cameras and explain to your boss that yes, that was you on the TV news, in the SHOCKING SUBURBAN DRUG BUST story. So your boss fires you, because he doesn't need your problems to become his problems. And you're now unemployable, because all other employers know your name. You're "the drug dealer who got busted." And then there's the possibility that the cops may seize your home and car under the federal RICO statues. They like doing stuff like that. It happens a lot. They don't even have to find you guilty of anything in a courtroom.
tl;dr it's not something I'd tolerate in my house, but maybe I'm old-fashioned that way

This is /r9k/ tier levels of spinelessness
Daniel Perez
Story time?
Asher Gomez
That's what makes this story seem like bullshit
Although it's possible somebody just carried weed dust on their clothing and deposited it in the house, as opposed to secretly smoking in your house somehow without you knowing, like wtf, wouldn't you wonder what they were doing for 15 minutes when you were supposed to be playing a game together?
OP is a fuckin liar
Jackson Lewis
>Although it's possible somebody just carried weed dust on their clothing and deposited it in the house,
The house wouldn't smell like weed if they hadn't been smoking it. If they had a bag on their person, A) OP would have noticed at the table and B) the smell would go away when they left (it only sticks around in small containers or if smoke clings to shit).
Unless they literally came there with some high quality marijuana ground up and dumped piles all over the place behind objects, OP is either lying or retarded.
