dameon_reaper 08/04/21 5:38:56 PM #1:	I tend to be a DM and I think of myself as fair and no one's quit on me yet so...there's that and my best friend says that he hates my rogue because I play the most annoying halfling rogue ever and that I do a lot of toxic things(in character) and he knows its in character because I tend to play some really cool ones like my Paladin or Fighter but he said that Milo gave him PTSD(especially when I brought him in as a guest NPC in my game) and even gave the option to have him offed if they wanted it. He was the type of guy who would steal arrows on the field after battles and then try to sell them back...and he'd always want to gamble and cheat during the games. I honestly didn't even realize it was that bad until I started marathoning these DnD horror stories and how toxic some players were...while mine never left into out of character experiences, I realize that even then, its still terrible for the party ;_; xD I love rogues...and I will never play one again. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:956778398] in My best fr...

Maybe, you're right, but I end up getting too into character and I have a habit of playing trickster rogues. I still rather enjoy a lot of the other classes anyway. When I told him I wanted to try a gunslinger with a level in rogue, he just looked at me and I said "I just want sneak attack dude...,please believe me" <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:956778509] in My best fr...

Itachi157 08/04/21 5:43:20 PM #4:	Yeah I think the general rule is don't antagonize or try to pull one over on the people you're supposed to be partied up and working together with, as its supposed to be a cooperative game. From the D&D stories I've read some DMs and players get annoyed when a player "has their own agenda" and tries to screw over their friends. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:956778558] in My best fr...

From the D&D stories I've read some DMs and players get annoyed when a player "has their own agenda" and tries to screw over their friends. Yeah, I suppose I had that issue as well. I made the biggest mistake of "He'll warm up to them and become a better character" but considering evolution needs to take place, that might never come. Besides, he didn't try to kill or do much beyond the gambling and the arrow stealing...he followed the quest as necessary and the worst part was that most of hte players were just quiet in general. It was a bad idea for me to play Rogue in a group with new people with one who just wanted to get out of the house and wasn't even trying to learn...even after I took over as DM and we played for 10 sessions. It was like teaching a child to play. If I was just a background noise, I think they wouldn't have been so bothered but it was like I was the only one willing to move forward..and having a chaotic character like that is stupid..I'd rather just be comic relief or popping off one liners. I think my friend said he was monologuing and no one answered and my character said something funny and he felt like it ruined his experience but I told him I only did it because I was in character and it was just awkward silence... but its made me want to not be that kind of player, especially around him. But it still doesn't beat my game's warlock doing a foot race against another player and deciding that it'd be funnier if he stuck his finger up the guy's butt and kept ruining the feeling of dread I was trying to promote. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:956778726] in My best fr...

Toxicity is class-neutral. lol yeah, I'd probably play barbarian like a stereotype though...I tend to, sadly. I DO try to make things interesting in play but I'm stuck with classic themes when I make characters. I'm also not going to use it as an excuse, if I play rogue, I'd play it differently, but my best friend will probably not think so which is my reasoning for disregarding rogue. So its more for his sake than my own. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:956779056] in My best fr...
