Yeah, I had to bounce a brief newcomer (to DND and our group) partly for the one-sided romance thing. He was awkward and inexperienced at romance, developed an insta-crush day one on a long term female player, but instead of asking her out, used the games as a way to bluntly “flirt”. She didn’t respond to it. Like many DND groups, we cancelled games randomly because Real Life. And he started losing his s*** because cancelled games meant no chance to hit on her. Started text-shouting at us for it. I finally told him to go because he couldn’t treat my friends like that.
Yeah, I feel like the more stories I see the more I assume that if people are RPing a romance at least one of them thinks it’s real. If both are interested then it’s best to just make it clear they are dating out of game. If you leave it ambiguous both parties might have vastly different ideas of what is actually occurring.
My current game is played at one of the player's work conference rooms. He is the only one of us who works there and no one else works while we play, so it is glorious!
"I am going to run an Evil campaign" followed by shackling them with a Paladin handler, just reminds me of "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising" (Great D&D film, give it a watch!). Lodge (the DM in the film) learned his lesson, where as the DM in this story did not. The game OP and the players got was not the game they agreed to play.
Jerk move to promote evil campaign then force everyone to be good for a DMPC (especially when they follow a chaotic evil god, regardless of retcon). While the story of redeeming villains through making them a heroic party has potential, it shouldn't be sprung out of nowhere and shouldn't excuse a canon villain.
Hmm, I’ve been thinking of running a small game of the dragons of stormwreck isle with a few coworkers who want to try DnD, now I’m wondering if I should…
Is it on-site and can anyone in the group fire someone else in the group? Doing at work can be rough because you never know who finds something offensive that is pretty normal in D&D and now suddenly it has become a bit of a problem. If this was handled offsite and you have time to talk it out though I don’t see it turning into anything. I think the main concern here is that had it at work with a manger that kind of seemed like someone who was a pretty picky manager. So once it made the manager look bad, things kind of got ugly because they stopped being a friend and a DM and went straight into “I’m your boss” mode. Also Steve seemed like a pretty disagreeable person at D&D but this stubbornness for a game turned into a reflection of his performance at his job… I’d hate to be held to a workplace standard for what is a fun hobby.
Also I would definitely recommend everyone going over some ground rules as for what is and isn’t comfortable and allowed behavior at the table, the same way you would with any new group. Especially because you guys all work together I would personally say no Inter party romance or pvp
@@lootgoblinmarketplace The plan is for it to be off-site, and all of the players (and myself) are Ed-Techs at the school I work at. But yeah, my main worry now is just possible expectations going in and what is acceptable for everyone. I hadn’t thought about that before, but I’ll definitely have to have a conversation about that with everyone.
I mean, we played "Cards against humanity" at work, and it was OK... I still wouldn't play an evil campaign with my colleagues though (I wouldn't do it anyway, but with colleagues in particular)
@@lootgoblinmarketplace Fair answer, the original was honestly extra creepy anyway. I didn’t recognize it as something I’ve sub’d to, but the Goblin made it more clear. Still an odd choice, but yes this one is better. Thanks for taking the time to comment back.

My still married in their 60s parents met playing D&D. It's not unheard of. You win some, you lose some.
Definitely can happen but I bet he didn’t propose before their first date 😂

I love it!
