The barbarian player in my party is super entitled. /u/MentalAbusedRants DnD: Roll for Initiative!

My fiance decided he wanted to dm for a work friend of his and his gf who I work with. My fiance wanted me to play since I would add an experienced player to the group. Knowing what the others would pick I decided to try out a cleric which isn’t my normal go to. Session 0 started and the gf picked a circle of the moon druid, the friend picked a berserker barbarian. I picked domain of trickery. The first encounter we had, I couldn’t do much. I’m level 3 and don’t have too many spell slots but knowing my team could go down I held onto my level one spell slots in case I needed to heal someone. Admittedly I could have turned dead as we were facing zombies but I wanted the group to actually have fun so I sat back and shot cantrips at the zombies while the other fought. It was good, no one ended up needing a heal and the threat was taken care of. Well the barbarian is pissed because I never healed him. He has a much larger health pool than me or the druid and his hp was only reduced to 28hp by the end. Of course I didn’t heal him. It wasn’t necessary but he was mad. At work with my fiance he kept complaining about how I needed to get my shit together and do my job, that I didn’t contribute to the fight and that I wasn’t helpful or necessary to their party. This has angered both me and my fiance. We both know I was trying to be more tactical and let everyone shine but he just wanted me to “do my job” and heal him. I already personally don’t like this man. So how do I deal with him? Even his gf admits he has main character syndrome so I just want to be able to play and have fun. Not be judged.

Is Baldurs Gate 3 a good introduction into DnD? If not, what is? /u/AgitatedFly1182 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Is Baldurs Gate 3 a good introduction into DnD? If not, what is? /u/AgitatedFly1182 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I’ve been interested in DnD ever since I watched DougDoug’s hilarious video, but he said that was a very simplified version of the game which is pretty intimidating. Since the massive success of Baldurs Gate 3, and it being based around DnD, I wonder if I could get into DnD by playing BG3.

DMing made me enjoy being a PC less /u/KenKinV2 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

DMing made me enjoy being a PC less /u/KenKinV2 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Hey everyone,

Last year, I nervously took the leap from PC to DM and honestly, I’ve ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would. It feels very satisfying to come up with challenges, plot hooks, and scenarios and then seeing how my players interact with them—often in ways that completely surprise me.

On the flip side I’ve been in a game as a player for almost three years now. I used to be absolutely obsessed with it, but ever since I started DMing, my interest in it has dwindled.

It’s hard to pinpoint why. Maybe it’s because, as a DM, I get to have all the answers, know the bigger picture, and shape how things play out. There’s a sense of control and foresight that I really enjoy (maybe this is howbibfind out I’m actually a control freak). Meanwhile, as a player, I’m often going in blind, and my enjoyment of the game feels largely dependent on the DM and other players. It can sometimes feel aimless, like I’m just reacting to what’s happening rather than actively driving anything forward.

Has anyone else experienced this shift when moving from being a player to DMing? How do you balance enjoying both roles? Or is this just part of the player-DM pipeline?

Creatures that are A*holes /u/LilWeezey DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Hi I am very new to D&D and I am interested in DMing. I figured, and correct me if I’m wrong, that an easy way for me to understand the game play better is to do essentially mundane gaming.

So I am creating a homebrew game and I was wondering what creature I can include that’s kinda the equivalent to a seagull or something. That like if you look at it the wrong way or have something it wants it’s just gonna attack you because it can.

So while my players are doing their mundane task they have a sort of “enemy” to hinder them a bit for giggles.

Hopefully this makes sense. Also if there’s any other tips you got for me to learn the mechanics I’d appreciate it. The only other tabletop game I’ve played was VtM
