Filled with the urge to play a TTRPG again, and as much as my wretched little writer brain wants to start worldbuilding a THIRD FUCKING TIME, it's voice is drowned out by the voice screaming for justice for my first DnD character, who was essentially turned into a tertiary character by a very inattentive DM who decided that I'd get a lot of focus early on and then NOTHING for the rest of the campaign until it dissolved.
Like, a thing we established early on was I spoke to my God in my dreams. In them he'd provide me guidance and things of that nature and I enjoyed that aspect immensely when it happened. And the all of a sudden he stopped doing it, and kept putting it off, until eventually I just stopped caring because it felt like my character just ended up being along for the ride of his two favorites. And then finally after WEEKS of sessions where I hear nothing from my God he starts to do a random exposition dump, which he then cuts short for no apparent reason, and then sends me a very poorly formatted paragraph.
Not to mention, I kept messaging him asking for guidance and trying to work on aspects of my character only to be met with silence.
And furthermore, when I tried DM'ing and asking for guidance about choices and things like that I got silence in return. He pretty much ignored me unless we were in game, and even then he'd try and negate my presence in the game as much as possible.
For example: One encounter we were fighting large blind rabbits in a field that would rely on sound to travel underground and attack prey. And all but the barbarian (his favorite who got all sorts of OP gear) were too squishy to really be able to do anything. So I cast spiritual weapon and form it in the shape of a tuning fork and strike it against a rock. The sound distracted them and the party was able to escape. But he was trying to stop that in it's tracks saying that the rabbits destroyed the weapon when they attacked it, so I reminded him that there's nothing saying that the weapon being attacked or destroyed ends the spell entirely.
Meanwhile, first session the Fighter scavenges random shit and uses it to make a club and he acts like that's the most brilliant idea ever
@MidnightRaven I’ll keep you in mind if we get a spot that opens. We play through Skype/Foundry. Planning to start Malevolence in a few weeks. Our play style might be irritating though as my players are quite slow (beginner box took us FIVE 3-hour sessions) and they like to goof around a lot, lol
@Kokirimuscle@MidnightRaven Hmmmmm, maybe I'd like to join a slow Pathfinder game. I'm blind and find a super-fast game hard to keep up with. Did lots of PFS organized play before Covid, in game stores.
@MidnightRaven I'm sorry that dm was a jerk and played favorites; hate when that happens, even if I happen to be dm's pet. Good use of Spiritual Force, btw!
