I'm posting this here to hopefully get this out of my head and maybe get some advice on how to handle it.

tldr: My old DnD group invites me back and then wastes 3hrs of the 4hr session planning when they know how busy I am.

Okay so in the second half of 2020 I was invited to be a player in a 5e DnD game. I have been a GM for Pathfinder 1e for years and I had seen some stuff for 5e but it just never interested me that much to switch. (Also I didn’t want to buy the new books at $50 a piece). I saw this as an opportunity to be a player, play with one of my old friends, meet new people, and experience a new homebrew world. I rolled up a wizard half-orc chronomancer at level 4. And I immediately started having problems with the system and the GM. I’m not going to go into all the details about it the overall game (might do that later.) After about a year in a half I had to leave the group due to school scheduling. But I said that if time allowed I would try to pop in as a side a character or something.

Anyway last week they asked if I was free to play a single session as a set of side characters because the main group got captured. I actually had some time in my schoolwork so I said yes and picked my character of the two remaining. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS! I hadn’t played in months and I haven’t hung out with these guys irl or online in months as well. I had some reservations (the main one being that it takes some of players 20 minutes to do their turns on characters that they’ve been playing for a year, so how long was it going to take with characters they’ve never played?) The day arrives and the GM opens the call early so we can pick a magic item and customize our characters before the game. Cool! I pick a feat and a magic item and chat with other people. Once everyone arrives we start playing. Few minutes of RP with NPC and then we see the map and start planning. I’m thinking we’re going to be doing like a half hour of planning at most and then we execute the plan. I was wrong... We knew were the people were being held. We had a way to get in and out of there. And I’m like “Lets do this” the rest of the party, mostly my friend, wanted to keep planning! Planning and scouting. For context, the session is 4 hours long. They spent THREE FUCKING HOURS PLANNING! 3 hours! 75% of our game session! That leaves us 1 hour for the actual rescue and combat. AND THE PLAN. The super important plan that we spent 3 hours crafting. It fell apart in the surprise round because one of the people we were supposed to rescue was a villain in disguise and battle began instantly. (That’s a new record for us, the last time our plan fell apart it was halfway through round one.)

So yeah the alarm was raise, we only rescued two of the four people, we don’t know where the fifth is, and the baddies are coming to get us and the session ended a little after the 4 hour mark. Everyone in the group was talking about meeting up in two weeks and I had to practically shout to get my voice heard. I said to them that I don’t think I can make it back because I have a big project due that week. They just kinda brushed it aside and asked one of the other players to play my character and the session ended.

I’m furious and I’m insulted. They know how fucking busy I am with this course. They asked me to come in for, what I was lead to believe was, a one shot. They disrespected me and my time by 3 fucking hours planning instead of playing. And then they talked as if I would be coming back for the next game without asking if I was even available.

Part of me is wondering if I'm the one at fault here. I’ve had my problems with this group before (mainly just the GM) and I’ve made it clear that I don’t like like 5e DnD and I’m only in this group because I like the other players. I'm wondering if I'm the problem. Fucking anxiety...

I’m posting this hear to get it out of my head and maybe get some advice on how to handle it.

listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN

I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.

I hope they make twelve of these motherfuckers.

#honor among thieves #dnd #dungeons and dragons: honor among thieves #holga kilgore #she is a BARBARIAN whose name is KILL GORE like who among us has not been in a party with this exact character #some new player who picked whatever they were told was the easiest class and gave them a name that is 98% a joke #and just piggybacked their backstory onto the most experienced player's as like rp training wheels #and then smash cut 60 sessions later and we're all getting choked up over john dingus or whatever #do you motherfuckers know how rarely i cry????? about ANYTHING?????#god it was so good #i am going to watch this an unhealthy amount #i want a separate movie for every red wizard and also one about xenk's backstory #his name is X E N K with an X these writers have played some fucking DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS #do i have to buy dead in thay now?????? i think i have to buy dead in thay now #i literally ran dnd on friday and this movie put me in WITHDRAWAL i want to play some dnd Now

it's always distinguished lesbian momo with disaster gay todoroki. we need to flip the script. disaster lesbian momo with distinguished gay todoroki. tddk are practically living together in shouto's japanese style dorm meanwhile momo flies in every morning, hair a mess, slamming that shoji door open, talkin bout "todoroki-kun! kyouka touched my knee this morning! do you think she likes me????"

#momo 2 seconds later: oh good morning midoriya-san. i hope i didnt disturb your sleep. anyway todoroki-kun pleaaase tell me what to do #i like this idea of prim and proper momo becoming a disaster over her gay little crush on jirou #tddk got their shit together 3 months into being friends. tdrk just confessed in that blunt way of his and now they're practically married #izuku's dorm room is his extra closet space for all might merch #they share a futon ffs #on the other hand momo's internal dialogue is just: hnnnng kyouka prettyyyy kyouka strong kyouka kissable #momo having debriefing sessions with tdrk every morning is so funny to me #izk thinks its ridiculous bc c'mon kyouka's crush on momo is visible from the moon #just tell her you like her yaoyorozu-san!!#yaoyorozu momo #jirou kyouka #todoroki shouto #midoriya izuku #tododeku #momojirou #tddk #bnha

no bc this is literally the same joy as the first scene he has just matured- he’s just been affected by everything he’s gone through since. Falling, losing his sense of self, experiencing the horrors of hell and the horrors and sorrows of humanity, nearly losing the world & the material things he loves- at one point actually losing his only companion- but he’s still the same person he still loves so deeply, he still has so much joy- aziraphale just doesn’t SEE because it so often happens when Crowley is actively admiring Aziraphale’s actions or when he is doing something for him when he isn’t there to make him happy.

good grief I need a lie down and a gin and to be held

#good omens #ineffable husbands #good omens spoilers #crowley #good omens 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #gos2 spoilers #aziraphale #good omens season 2 spoilers #go s2 spoilers #ineffable idiots #I missed my therapy session yesterday so I’m projecting again I think

Thinking again about the fact that when Eddie and Dustin finally convince Steve to play DnD with the party, all of them, but especially Eddie, quickly become exasperated with Steve who has extremely high charisma, and decides that he can fix almost any situation by flirting with whoever they were in conflict with. Especially the fucking monsters, this man is bound and determined to himself a monster boyfriend and until it happens, he will make every single person they come across fall in love with him. So naturally, this happens a lot:

Steve: I’m going to flirt with them

Eddie, exasperated: Steve, you can’t date this monster, he’s trying to kill you-

Steve: Hot.

Steve: I’ll flirt with them harder then

#ravenpuff rambles #steve harrington #eddie munson #hellfire club #stranger things #steddie #Steve is a monster fucker and this essay I will-#they actually get him interested in playing because they were showing him the different monsters and Steve kept going #‘Hot. Also Hot. Hooot. Can I date this one? Oh HOT.’#the monsters really did it for him. (and like also it made Dustin excited and you know he loves that kid)#Eddie: I should have known inviting you to sessions would go like this but for some reason I had hope you would behave #Steve: I am behaving. I’m using my highest stat determined by Dustin and Will to my advantage.#(Also I think Dustin and Will helped Steve build his character. Eddie wanted to do it but Steve insisted it should be a surprise)#(I don’t know much about dnd so I can’t go any further but I know this bitch would want high charisma (for good reason!))#Robin loves to sit by and watch the sessions play out and she is always encouraging Steve to flirt more #there’s a new You Rule You Suck board #this one has a lot more you rule because it turns out Steve is amazing at getting high rolls

Dande says, “I can vouch for you. Do you wanna hold my hand? We can go together.” Fisik asks, “You hold Fisik hand?” Dande says, “Yeah, sure,” holding out his own. Fisik mumbles, “Tall people don’t hold Fisik hand.” Dande replies, “Well, now’s a good time to start.”

#dungeons and dragons #dnd character #dnd art #dnd oc #dnd #dandelion treehollow #terribly affable drow #he's so friendly!! especially toward strangers. it's just he's also very good at scheming when he has to be lol #ugh... i love my boy.............#ravelers #the ravelers #ignore that i wrote the wrong dialogue in the drawing ok #this was the session before #as of last session dande is stressed the fuck out and acting erratic #he is such a character study for me ugh ugh ugh MY BOY!!
