Hello,
This is my first time posting here, but I really need to rant. I’m in a five person dnd group (1 DM, 4 players) and I don’t think I can play with them anymore. We’re doing a pre written campaign and have not focused on the plot for about 5 months now. I really like my character so dropping might bum me out but idk. I just wanted to ask if these behaviors in a group are normal, as this is my first ever dnd group.
- The plot has shifted to focus specifically on one PC and their backstory
- The person playing said PC interrupts sessions either to correct other players on how to role play their characters or shift the narrative back to their PC
- If ever the narrative shifts away from this PC, the player texts our joint gc during sessions asking us about how we feel about her character choices
- My character has been blatantly ignored by other players and the DM, insulted by NPCs and PCs, and I ended up sitting silently for the last hour of my last session while the others talked backstories
- All players were given the opportunity to scope out new environments to look for any clues that may relate to their character quests or the main plot, all players were given permission to roll insight while I was told I could not
- In a one on one conversation with a player, this person told me that they liked my character, but that they were “useless”to the group as this party was “supposed to be made up of chaotic neutral characters” and I’m playing a neutral good character -Several other people have dropped out of this campaign and the DM and other players talked badly about those who left and how their characters were “completely useless”
I’m not sure what I should do and they are planning on running a long session this weekend and I really don’t want to go, but I’m worried I’ll miss out. These people have been my friends for years and this is the only way they still communicate with me. If ever we are not playing, the rest of them travel large distances to see each other and I have never gotten an invite.
Is this in my head or does this suck?
