I feel like there’s a difference between constructive criticism for a dm and outright shifting on their attempt. I feel the group did the latter

I haven’t played in 11 years

How do I trojan horse Dnd into my game night? I’ll dm 🥹

Good meme, needs more pixels. 7/10, would upvote as I scroll past again.

Fuck those people. You should try dming again its really fun

I’m in if you want a (mostly) noob. Could probably talk my partner into joining.

Invite new folks who want to play ttrpgs specifically, let the typical folks know that there will be new folks, and see who sticks around after the shoe drops.

Vore is definitely in my top 5 do not understand fetishes.

Reverse pregnancy?

Anyone that bms their first time dm actually just sucks. I’m so sorry to hear you had such a bad experience

It has been 25 years for me - my group fell apart, life took over, and then my social anxiety made it impossible and will probably until the end of my days. Playing Shadowrun was a great time tho, and i’m happy i was able to experience it.

Oof that’s a rough place to start. As published that campaign has major issues and relies heavily on the dm to identify them and change it to be playable.

Assuming you’re an adult, there are a few Conan Exiles D&D roleplay servers and also some Neverwinter Nights 2 servers if you’re looking to get into D&D but don’t have anyone to play with. It’s also a good place to meet people to play actual D&D on like roll20 or Tabletop Simulator or whatever.

But also, it seems like there are some people here who would probably play a game with you. You might have to run it though. It’s much easier to find players than DMs.

I’m in this meme and I don’t like it

If you’re willing to try pathfinder, you could go with Pathfinder Game Night: Dawn of the Frogs. It’s a 3 session adventure that comes with everything you need to run a game: maps, pregenerated characters, a set of dice, some standees for you and the enemies, and an adventure book explaining the rules and the adventure you’re on.

I haven’t played Pathfinder before (I used to do ADND(2.PF) how expandable is it without official materials? (I guess it doesn’t super matter, none of us have played a ttrpg in years)

All of the rules are actually freely and officially available online here https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx including every monster officially released, usually with a picture. You’d probably be better off buying at least the core rulebooks to actually read, though.

Also, Dawn of the Frogs only has 4 pregenerated characters, so if you have more friends than that it might get a little complicated.

So to actually answer your question, it depends on how much work you want to do and what your definition of “official materials” is.

Fucking mood
