The salt was real that day unsure if I want to even continue playing

>dm says with a dc 10 nobody is going to die. Ever.
The correct answer is "I borrow the fighter's sword and stab myself with it until I die." Then you get out your phone and play porn really loudly while everyone else tries to finish the session.

>stab myself until i'm at zero hp
>before I even have a chane to make a death save both the fighter and the monk would make a medicine check and stabilize me

This one isn't nearly as bad.
Everytime I try to play in my irl friendgroup (3.5) no-one ever communicates a plan of attack. just as an example.

>Party of 6 or 7 i dont fuckin know
>walk through cave
>like 20 goblins making a stew and fuckin around
>I see one that looks like a spellcaster
>"Hey everyone we should try to take care of-"
>Three barbarians scream I CHARGE THE STEW
>Shitty hour long fight happens where barbarians try to pour over this pot of stew end up burning themselves
>Spellcaster makes the situation worse
>I keep missing

I dont know what the rest of them were doing, just fuckin around making sure the barbarians dont die. IRL's always do this shit.
>I can't hit the spell

Repeat until -10. Your only action is "I stab myself until I die" until they let you die. Either they let you or the entire game becomes "Save the suicidal monk".

You could just say your character leaves and make a cleric.

Or just don't play with this retarded group. Are you playing in a school for slow kids?

worst and first session i was ever in

>join a discord server for one of the games i was playing at the time
>see a DnD channel, join and ask if there any games going because ive always wanted to play but never had a group
>guy messages me saying he has a spot
>4 other players at the start of new campaign 2 girls 2 guys (1 guy is me)
>dm explains surrounding "your all in a tavern sitting at opposite ends of the tavern, what do you do"
> Me: " ill get some ale".
>dm: "no u need to go meet the other players"
>player 1: "we have no reason to there is no quest nobody talking nothing happening"
>dm: "ok fine "you all sit down at the same table and start talking about the bandits that have been seen in this area lately" what do you do next?
Silence...
>player 2 "i guess we look for bandits?"
everybody agrees
>we all leave town in a cart and dm pipes up and goes "after 2 days of travel you realise you have no food and water but you are coming upto a dwarven fort."
>player 1: i guess we ask them for food
>dm: "the dwarves run out of the gates with full armor and spears at the ready and escort you inside, and they are attempting to put you in chains"
>everybody isnt phased, cant really do anything against 30 dwarves all heavily armed
>dm "the dwarves escort you to the yard and put you all in a pillory"
>me: "sooo why are we being arrested
>dm: "all 30 of the dwarves drop their pants and begin to rape you." you all take 3d6 dmg

we were all stunned one of the girls in the group instantly left and called him a "fucking creep" the other girl left as well saying "your a shit dm and im telling the discord server admin" and then left. me and the other player were just saying wtf and just left.

1/10 way of being introduced into dnd it gets a 1 because it made me want to find a better game and i found one on roll20 so im happy now

Your story just kept going...
Quit that group, the players, DM, system/how the groups reads the system, the setting and everything just sucks ultra cocks.

Leave it, find a better group. Dead cats would be better.

This was a while ago now, but it's still the worst one to my memory. Basically, my GM's girlfriend at the time broke up with him at the table because of my character's actions in-game. It also ended the campaign, as you can imagine.

>playing a prideful and self-important elven noble / wizard
>she's playing a poor, widowed human sorceress, though still young and attractive, obviously
>my character has been wooing hers for most of the campaign in an attempt to win her over as his third wife
>mostly played for laughs on both sides
>although he told her repeatedly, she eventually finds out that he does, in fact, have two wives; she didn't believe him, I guess
>for whatever reason, her character now feels slighted by the fact that he devoted his attentions on her despite already being married
>so, to "get back at him" for trying to make her his third wife, while we were visiting my character's house for the first time, she decides to steal many of his smaller valuables and the jewellery he'd been sending to his wives while adventuring
>she ends up fencing the goods in town — the same town where my character's fucking manor and wizard tower are located
>the broker the fence sold all my shit to knows whose shit it is and ends up ratting out the sorceress to one of my character's servants
>long story short, my character acts cool as a cucumber and pretends he didn't find out, even though we all know he did, out of character
>two sessions later, my character uses telekinesis to throw her character off a cliff on the side of a mountain while we were being attacked by bandits, killing her instantly

Although I thought it was pretty funny in the moment, I quickly lost my smile as she started yelling and screaming at the GM, making the whole situation super awkward. I even felt bad after the fact, though everyone else agreed that it made sense for my character.

>Discord
fucking asking for it

It was my first real chance to play. i had nobody i knew that played and didnt even know about roll 20 and stumbled across it, at least that bad experiance got me into playing.

not a bad session, more that guy/girl type thing

if she knew you knew, she should've expected some kind of retaliation, and if she didn't then oh well, she needs to grow up and understand that actions have consequences even if you don't see it coming

It was just a really shitty situation, all things said. I'd never had anything even close to that happen with another group or another game. It all escalated since the GM ruled in my favour. I guess she thought it wasn't fair despite failing the save and even despite my character making it look like one of the bandits had tackled her off the cliff.

Didn't happen.

Could have happened.

Definitely didn't happen.

Probably happened.

All in all this is a shit Thread, its like a parody of a "That guy"-Thread if made by redditors.

Guard was going to ass rape my character. Fuck that.

that's literally the only part I understood
regardless, really? that's the worst session your ever had?

basically every session with my old group of real life friends

>easily frustrated
>constantly complain ooc
>cant adapt to situations

Yea not fun

>be me
>show up
>”Sorry user, the sesh was canceled”
Yeah, they call it a “sesh” and not session

A one-shot where complete nonsense was happening, the DM kept throwing stupidly overpowered enemies at us that we barely scraped by with a combination of clever positioning and browbeating the DM into taking some enemies out because it's fucking ridiculous, and ended with a Rocks Fall moment we had no warning of and couldn't have done anything about.

My group is generally fine for the most part, the only real result of that one-shot is the guy who ran it was barred from ever DMing for the group again.

>join a game where DM has advertised as:

And after a 5 hour session of just trying to get a Ranger laid and off-topic shit, excused myself off of the game.

I'm sorry man
I have a group that are a bunch of idiots who are all the time breaking immersion, doing shit ooc, barely roleplay, don't read the setting, rules or even their fucking character sheet and often go for the worst possible options

however they never get frustrated, they accept anything that come for them, they never complain and they always have fun
best example was that one moment
>me: "okay, you defeated the centaur amazon"
>p1:"Amazon you say?"
>p2:"When someone dies their vowels evacuate, so probably she has pissed herself" (this guy is playing a wood elf with mental retardation who can't even read)

>>dm tells me that the idea of someone selling ice in a fantasy world where you can create ice out of thin air is kind of dumb
He's not wrong

What i did was ditch them and only play with people who have some interest in the game

Mainly pushing my real life friends towards the thing was a bad idea. Just looking for new people would have been better

Not him but what's your worst session?

>not going mid session

Do you hate yourself or something?

I posted it here Memories are vague because of how boring it was
but the worst session someone ever has was on in which an NPC TRIED to do something bad to him
>"I run away"/"I attack the guard"/"I try to convince him"
>"no, I'll be a fucking bitch and leave the game"

>no, you did not notice the two giant pigs, you noticed the BUSH

All I can see is Jeb Bush stalking your fucking party, OP.

That session you posted wasnt that bad compared to the loki session the other guy shared

I don't know if I agree because that guy at least has a story to tell in these kind of threads or to tell his friends "that one time this fucking group of retards..."
meanwhile I'm not lying when I said that I was struggling to stay awake while the GM kept going on and on about the fucking setting, but I didn't want to be rude and tell him to shut the fuck up and start the game already

I don't do gay stuff, user. Period.

makes you feel too weird inside, I get it, no problem

Maybe you shoulda.
If it was boring for you it might have been boring for the rest of the guys

horribly traumatic to remind you of your sexual insecurity

>"this one time in one of my games..."

Holy fuck, the story was bad enough, but I know exactly what kind of people you're talking about by just that single line at the end. They're one of the absolutely worst kind of players, regardless of their commitment to the hobby. Plus, they're unequivocally a bunch of lying cunts; they're worse than most of the assholes on this board in that way.

who said it wasn't?
The poor guys who were new were like "eh, I think rpgs are not for me" and trying to politely imply that they had a shit time

Depends on the setting, obviously. But even so, most high fantasy settings aren't prolific enough in terms of magic to where ice wouldn't be a marketable commodity in places of extreme heat.

Wasn't really THAT bad, but I haven't really had many bad experiences.

>you dont lie to your bros

How old is this guy

He was older than us, around 37 i think.

Im sure thats impossible

jesus fucking christ, what the fuck is wrong with some people?

It's not that surprising. I myself usually complain about bright-eyed twenty three year-olds that have no real talent or inclination for role-playing. However, it's those guys in their late thirties and early forties that have either never touched a ttrpg in their life or have only recently gotten into the hobby that are often the bigger problem. I don't know what it is really, but like in the story you replied to, they sometimes seem to have issues with their egos, thinking they know better than everyone else at the table despite being complete novices themselves.

If I had to hazard a guess, it's that they think that hold some sort of authority of seniority over others just because they're almost twice as old as some players. I've come into contact with a handful of guys like this in the last three years alone.

not your fault at all, you should try to GM again
such a shame you didn't have mod powers, had it been irl that guy could have been kicked out of the table

This happens because there were different player expectations going into the game.

I play for a cooperative experience. I expect loot to be evenly split if it is usable. I expect rewards to be evenly split if even effort is given. Depending on the ruleset being used this is MANDATORY. Some chuckle fuck 'thief' taking all the +3 to +5 weapons in our 3.5e game led to a TPK at some minor boss because no one else could damage it due to resistance.

If the game is going for a competitive experience you need to have the right players that can detach themselves from the character. Plus you should not blow your wad in one swoop unless it is at a pivotal turning point in the campaign. Ie, just defeated the final boss, the local crime lord, the king's anointing. That stuff done willy nilly just back fires, in game and in real life.

>TPK at some minor boss because no one else could damage it due to resistance.
honestly this is the GM's fault
who the fuck designs anything unbeatable?

They often argue about how rules work, who of them is stronger, who of them is being more annoying and etc. Ben's character is an Ancients Paladin Half-Orc, and Mike's character is a waifubait Deepstalker Human. There's this gag between Ben, Gabe, Vincent and Ethan that Mike's character is gonna get raped by Ben's character. Of course, Ben is just doing it as a joke, but Mike is really attatched to his waifu, and Ben legit thinks this is the best way for him to become an Oathbreaker.
>vincent: ay ben werent you gonna rape (mike's character)
>ben: oh yeah thats right
>I make them roll for grapple, and ben fails
>then they start rolling dice without my permission and pulling shit out of their asses, like 'teleports behind you' kind of bullshit
>I get up mad and explain why this is not allowed at my table. That d&d is a coop game and 5e is not built for pvp. That your fun can't disrupt the harmony of the party etc
>then I end the session, disappointed and pissed, and tell mike and ben to sort their problems with eachother
I spent the rest of the night talking about personal stuff and drinking to forget that fucking session. What the hell.
And before any of you motherfuckers say this didn't happen: fuck you. I wish it didn't happen and I'm not sure if I want to keep going with that group anymore. They are the table that puts the most effort in reading the rules, buying their dice and books etc but the worst in terms of actually playing. For fucks sake.

Sounds like my friends, except they didn't complain, instead they just kept shoving awful jokes and pop culture references into the campaigns.

why not just cancel the session or move it to after the party was over

you fucking autist, when you see a bunch of people having fun at a party you don't ruin it for a trpg session.
Trpgs are to have fun with people and there was already another fun event among people there. At most I could understand that you said "fuck, I'm so angry because I put a lot of effort and the motherfuckers partied instead, so I left disappointed"
But trying to shift everything to a game?
And you expected people to stay quiet?
can't you read the fucking mood?
are you literally fucking autistic?

I don't need to read the rest, you deserve anything bad that could happen to you

Your group sounds dysfunctional but not awful. Your mistake was trying to run during a goddamn party.

inb4, meant to reply to

autistics don't adapt well to change

Didn't notice. Thanks user.

happens to the best of us

>>I get up mad and explain why this is not allowed at my table.
>they were literally having fun for a fucking minute
>they were going to stop their dickery at any moment
>instead of laughing it you literally went "REEEE, STOP HAVING FUN!"
god damn it, I hope you made all of it up

>be gone one day and they do a session
>haha user your character was crazy yesterday, shame he died on his descent back from space
>session is over because apparently they finished

What

Your DM sounds like my first DM who
>said he was a very experienced DM
>made us roll to drink a glass of beer which somehow led to the tavern getting set on fire
>got mad at us for setting the tavern on fire so had an orc raid at the same time
>when I asked if there was high ground or anything my barbarian could do other than just swing a weapon, he points out a pile of rocks I could stand on to gain advantage, then makes me roll to step on them and a 13 meant I failed + wasted my turn?
>described his "level 11 halfelf vampire riding a unicorn" flying in from the sky, putting out all the fire + killing all the orcs, scolding us for letting either of those things happen, and then flying away.

we all made up excuses at that point to leave and never met up with that guy again

She's way more at fault than you, obviously, and it's impossible to know the table dynamic but throwing a PC off a cliff just because they've slighted and therefore outright killing them is a pretty dick move, especially if it was pretty cordial and fun ooc.

You are a moron. I never pressured anyone into playing and would much rather spend my night drinking and singing. I did it because my players wanted me to. Half of them kept begging me to start the session when I was just talking to people and having fun, while 2 of them had no problem playing it. I'm not angry because I put effort into it and it went wrong, I'm precisely angry that the players fucked me over. Why the fuck would you ask for a game at a circumstance like that?
Now stop talking shit when you don't even understand the situation, dumbass.

>I never pressured anyone into playing and would much rather spend my night drinking and singing
certainly doesn't look like it when YOU FUCKING DIDN'T

the classic "leave out an important detail then get mad at anons for calling you an autist"

Not actually. Jon was disgusted and Mike got real fucking mad. Vincent regreted everything immediately when he saw the game he asked me so much to run in shitty circumstances he himself created was falling part again. It was creepy as fuck and only funny when it was speculation out of the table.

why are you calling them by their names?

Yes, I did. I had fun after the session, it was a great night. Except for that fucking disastrous game. The party lasted until around 5 AM and the game ended around midnight.

Which important detail? No shit they wanted me to DM. Are you saying you force your table into playing your garbage campaigns?

>would much rather spend my night drinking and singing
this one

>Are you saying you force your table into playing your garbage campaigns?
certainly that's what you made it look like

now that I look at it your story is pretty fucking boring

>Yeah, they call it a “sesh” and not session
Do you not?

Group breaks up eventually. Get asked by former DM to join him with another group a city away. Say "sure".

>get some premade character sheet and a pebble
>get told that if I appreciate someone's roleplaying I give them my pebble
>whattheactualfuck.webm
>play as some chinchilla-skaven hive minded motherfuckers
>my buddy who got a mother rat plotwise caught some trespassers
>apparently as a rebelious chinchilla I want them to be dead and gone
>one other guy besides us is supposed to support my buddy
>eventually own them with some weak roleplay and big rolls
>my buddy snaps because this shit makes no sense
>DM lashes out against him
>eventually session ends and I get all the pebbles for roleplaying

That was weirdest shit I was a part of.
Now, I'm forever DM, but, Christ, I will never do that shit to my players...

>if I appreciate someone's roleplaying I give them my pebble
what the fuck

Because he's making them up. He doesn't actually have any real friends. If he did, he would have understood that the ongoing party took precedent over his shitty little game of D&D, regardless of past assurances.

>Jon, Ben, Mike, Gabe, Ethan vincent
I suspected that when i saw that every single one of them had the most common names in america to have ever existed

My guess is it’s just autism.

She robbed his house and stole from his wives, which were very important to him. At that point, regardless of his affections for her, he considered her a common thief. Plus, my character wasn't exactly Good-aligned, either. He was Lawful Neutral, and as an elf noble, he was known to take the punishment of criminals into his own hands.

Like I said: it made sense at the time, though I still offered to retract the action in the end, because I felt guilty as fuck that it'd come to a shouting match over it.

>Vincent
>common

>Session as usual
>One guy who has been bit rowdy keeps being rowdy when I make calls he doesn't like
>This being the last straw I tell him that he is kicked for disrupting the game repeatedly
>He stabs a fork through my finger
>Find out that he's on some pills that he never takes before the sessions because it helps him unwind or something

Weirdly still I have played and ran for people who are worse players, but being unable to bend my right ring finger after a session tends to make them pale in comparison.

his favorite final fantasy game and character came to mind when he was thinking of names
as expected of someone with shit taste to prefer VII and to like vincent of all people
fuck's sake

You can believe it didn't happen if you want. I don't care. I posted to get it out of my chest, not to entertain you. I guarantee a fictional story to gather attention would be way shorter and more interesting.
Also, these are not their real names, just names with the same initial that sound like english, since I'm american

He only wants me to reply so I can justify his waste of time with 'lol epic baiting ecksdee'

and yet you reply anyway

>since I'm not american
My bad

Sounds like OP is dumb and deserved everything that happened.

>Contact left, 2 boars, coming out of those trees, engaging

Could have prevented all your misery famalam

I have this theory that you are making up this shit excuses on the fly
>shit, they calling me autsitc, I'll say the players forced me to do it
>shit, they are suspicious of the names, I'll say that I made them up and I'm not american
like who the fuck doesn't call them "player 1, player2" or "paladin, warlock"?
>I posted to get it out of my chest
yeah buddy, next time write in a notepad if you think this place if your personal blog
