Hello, I'm new to reedit and I'm dyslexic so I'm sorry for any spelling or grammar issues.

also critcrab if you see this i give you permission to make a video if you decide but if you don't that all gravy. i love your videos thank you for letting me vent this story just happened last night.

on to the story. I 20-21 year old male, serving in the U.S Army had been looking for a game on discord due to there being no open games because of the pandemic. I have been playing dnd for 5-6 years since high school.

The other players: (all names are changed (duh)

The DM we will call him Dirty Dank (the problem) age 17-18 I think male

The DMs best friend we will call him Kevin- Unsure of age but will assume around 17-18 male

Another Friend of the DM Jasmine- 16-17 I think Female

And last a friend of mine i brought in to give the party a bit more diversity, we will call her Cat- 18-19 female

​

I started playing with these People a few months ago after meeting the DM on those public LFG groups on Discord. The DM messaged me and interviewed me for the game. Now I can be an abrasive human due to some trauma and trust issues as a kid, I've been going to therapy for this and i explained the DM that i can be this way and if a problem ever arises to talk to me about it so i can work on my self and the feedback would help with my healing process. He agreed and added me to the game. Now i make jokes like pretending to hate people saying I hate you and !@#$ off its how i try to heal is by turning my abrasion into a comedic style. this may not be the best way but it helps and I informed the group of my issues AND ANY TIME I though I took it to far I IMEDIETLY STOPED AND APPOLIGIZED and made sure they where ok.

​

The dm started with 2 games alternating every week one being a half-life style dnd and the other being under dark setting, around beginning of October the DM got burned out on half life (like second game Should have noticed that red flag) and wanted to run a Halloween style game to which he had 5 choices and we "choose" bprd which was a hell boy style setting this is where i asked to invite Cat and we ran that for a few weeks straight not touching the under dark. then stating November he changed it to a starwars style game "because he loved watching all the starwars stuff around thanks giving its his tradition" again we "choose to do this" then we ran that well into December. now i got two weeks of leave to go se my family, im from WA but im stationed in NY so im 2911 miles from home and it cost me 1300 to fly home for the holidays, so i told the dm that i would not be participating with the group for those two weeks to spend time with the family. I should mention at this point the dm blew up the chats a lot he made art work for all the characters and was always asking us what to draw and or asking us to draw him rough sketches of characters which isn't bad but he would always be @ everyone for a new drawing or anything like that.

​

so fast forward again i come Back from leave. and join back in the game and hes still running starwars. something i forgot to mention is he would say "we will run under dark next week" and i would prepare for it then when we joined the game it was starwars so id say "i thought we where running under dark well after my first week back and running starwars again i said "man you said we where running under dark and we have like two sessions in that game" and he wanted to restart the story to involve kai but then he changed the whole premise of the characters and we had to re write backgrounds and i had to make a whole new chaecter.

​

Now the dm had a problem of giving Donny all the rp time eve making most npcs based around him and the story. which was irritating but we accepted it but then when it would be time for us to rp he would force it into a different direction then what we where doing and if we tried to speak up to stop and explain what we where doing or ask a question e would say SHHH. this made me mad but i bit my tongue. the last game i was playing with him i was a goblin thief and we had a flamboyant elf weapon smith working with a gruff elf armor so he pretty much ripped off the two dwarves from god of war. so they where basically being assholes to me because i was in prison cloths and being followed by a npc mute guard. so i tried to make it seem like a race thing to try and get them to offer me a discount, my goblin was a pacifist and against any form of "stereotypes" but they beat me at that so then i got them to argue with each other with a Nat 20 deception. now i was gonna get them to get together romantically cuz the dM made it seem like they where into each other because they where always bickering and having petty fights along with other stereotypical movie cues of being into each other.

​

now this is where the problem came in, my plan was to break them up as business partners and then get them back together as romantic partners and get a discount from it. now the dm took over all role play and tried to get the gruff one to storm off but when i called out to the armorer the dm said "SHHH" to which i said MOTHER!@#@!@#, WHAT?" and then left the call cuz i needed to cool off id reached my last straw with that as he did it a lot. so he pinged me and asked if he made me mad and then Donny reached out to me and asked if i was ok. well then i joined back and blew up at him saying that "he always gave Donny like 2 hours of rp and then me and Jasmine and cat hardly got any and when we did you basically make it a play script and then when we try to speak up about it you shhh us like we are @#!#@@## children and that's super disrespectful to us." dm goes quiet we talk about it and he agrees to try to do better after making excuses and me not buying them"

​

the next couple days aa game id been waiting to play for a year had opened up my friend was running it, on Saturday so i asked if we could move this campaign to Sunday and explained that issue. the dm said "we cant so your gonna leave the campaign?" i said no that i was there first and i wouldn't abandon the game that i was invested in i was just seeing if it was possible to do something about it.

​

i though was all good and well then the dm messaged me sayin i wasn't a good fit for his campaign and wit me "looking for another campaign" he talked to everyone and they all agreed to remove me. now my issues kicked in and i felt terrible. i thought i had just ruined the year of therapy i had been doing and that people hated me. so I IMMEDIETLY went and messaged everyone and started to say im sorry i had no idea that you guys where upset with me and i hope they didn't hate me and Cat messaged back first she had no idea what i was talking about. and she realized that id been removed from the 4 servers we had and dm announced that i would not be joining the campaign now i brushed off him not asking her cuz she's very loyal to me so he could have guessed her vote. and when she messaged him he said "im asking me (op) to leave the campaign i talked to the others" then jasmine messaged me saying she had no idea what was going on that she didn't vote me out. now this made me mad i would have handled it if they voted me off cuz that means im the asshole then Donny was asked by everyone else and no one asked him for a vote. this caused all of them to go talk to dm and find out that he "misunderstood their stance on my being removed" (even though he asked non of them)

​

so after everyone went to bat for me he messaged me asking me to come back and how he wasn't fit to lead. pretty much trying to manipulate me into forgiving him and it was a misunderstanding so no one was mad at him. i WENT OFF on him and told him he was a liar and a coward and that i had felt so horrible because i thought i hurt my friends, and that if he had a problem with me he should have talked to me like an adult and not a child seeing as he pretty much was an adult. and i gave him pointers of what he did wrong how to fix them so this didn't happen again. and i told him he broke my trust as a friend i think hes a lying manipulative coward and if i was to join back if it was for the group of people that actually wanted me there. to which he denied me to comeback after i went off, i guess he dint like the honest answer. i informed every one of this and now im off on my own and stated my own group

​

Thank you to my friends who stood by me. you saved me from a borderline mental break down.

​

TLDR dm who cant make up his mind lies about voting off a player because he didn't like him players friends back him up even though 2 of them had been with dm way longer then with op.
