The guy... is still here...

uuuuugh

burn him >(

Hissssss

NO

The DM invited a friend of his to play with us and the guy takes ZERO bullshit from Sir Weeb. Zero. It is a delight.

lol oh that's better than expected

Kuku

Oh, oh. He just made it obvious that he's read ahead of the group in the module, which is BAD FORM in D&D land. It ruins the game's surprises for the rest of us. Playing with him is still so exhausting.

Uh. Uh. Worried it might come to physical blows.

good on the friend but uh oh

Uh oh...

Oh man. It got Tense.

o DM invited a SUPER ASSHOLE OF JUSTICE to the game and he spent the entire time just ignoring the attempts of Sir Weeb to meta game and at the end it became so tense that we were just sitting there awkwardly as Professional Ass Justice calmly told Sir Weeb to stop being a jackass and Sir Weeb taking shit very personally because of his self-diagnosed PTSD.

"I'm just a worthless character and player!" like we asked you to stop meta gaming, that doesn't mean we've labeled you a Hitler

But Professional, unlike the other two of us, doesn't hem and haw. He pretty much said to shape up or ship out. Sir Weeb was shaking with emotion. It was... uncomfortable for many reasons.

oh boy.......

is it good that he is not taking any shit?

I feel for the game to survive, someone had to buckle down and say something. I think I might just be a delicate flower who worries when everyone isn't Happy. Growing up, things were awful if all adults weren't Happy, which has carried over into my grown-up life.

The game still isn't fun, but I've fucking committed to it, so.

yikes, I hope the intervention from a pro No Shit Taker helsp

So I think I got reeled in by Weeb's emotional manipulation last night. I was shaking from all the Hurt Feelings and blaming myself (despite having done nothing) and had a panic attack last night. Now with some time and sleep between what happened at the table and now, I can see that I fell for "I've been bullied" and mistook that as a reason we shouldn'y

enforce boundaries and rule following. Phew.

emotional manipulation is the worst. and extremely frustrating at a gaming table.

It's bullshit like this that shows he knows exactly what he's doing.

Good on DM for bringing a (relatively) neutral party in
