Your group of five was falling for 30 minutes because they couldn't get through initiative

My group of five was falling for 30 minutes because they kept trying to rush up a greased ladder

We are not the same.

Jokes on you my character was a former sex worker, a greasy series of poles isn't an obstacle at that point.

The group I play with is only 5 people but 3 of them are 11 so.... yea

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 15 points 8 months ago

I feel this. My group is 3 players, and 2 are 11. There may as well be 30 of them

I used to have a group I'd play DnD with, it was fun. We don't talk anymore though because they are right-wing assholes and would never accept me as a trans girl, since they openly made fun of transgender people. There was an NPC character in one of our campaigns which was a "man dressed as a woman" who would always get mocked for it.

It's absolutely mental to create a character to just act as a punching bag for your beliefs. Even if the roles were reversed, I doubt I'd enjoy playing with people like that.

[-] Archpawn@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I think the problem is that it's something not actually bad. Making a BBEG that's just a punching bag for your believe that murder is wrong is perfectly okay.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Having the BBEG be a bigot and having their bigotry be integrated into the plot is fine. I'm talking about having an irrelevant NPC just exist as the butt of jokes for the players. I feel like I would just get tired of hearing those interactions repeated for hours.

[-] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 5 points 8 months ago

Wasn't even a BBEG, was just a random NPC in the party that party members would make fun of for being "a man pretending to be a woman". The character remained in the party through the whole campaign and only served the purpose of being the butt of transphobic humor. I don't even think they had good stats or abilities.

Everyone thinks their takes are right or they wouldn't have them

[-] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 5 points 8 months ago

It always felt uncomfortable when they'd do it. I felt unsafe when they would do it. I bet if they saw me now they'd make those same jokes about me directly. Probably also mock me for pronouns. They weren't good people, I don't know why I hung out with them as much as I did. I guess I just wanted to feel like I fit in with others. Well I'm glad I never came out to them even when I found out, that would've been really bad for me, instead we just quietly went our separate ways.

Literally our last session

5 (including the DM) are sufficient. Sometimes even 4.

It can be used to fix some plot holes created by too much improvisation too though.

[-] Klajan@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

I have one group I play in where there are 7-10 Players. It's pure chaos, though since we play very infrequently and a lot of the players don't take the game too seriously it somehow works out.

Still would not recommend unless you like roleplaying with your fellow players until you get to your turn of GM attention.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

We had 8 people in our last game. It really wasn't something I'd advise.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

8 at my last game (7 players + a very inexperienced dm). I will limit myself to a table of 5 players at most in the future. It was horrible.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I think you could do 8 if everyone is experienced and it's a combat only module. Everyone pre rolls, announces their turn, and quickly moves their mini. Even one person not being experienced in their role screws it all up.
