There is a very exquisite agony in playing a game you love so so so so so much, and realizing that one of the other players is trying to play a totally different game than you.

#hush frenchy #we went to the coffin shop today in vallaki #and our rogue triggered combat SIMPLY because he didn't want to leave the house without looting every single room #to clarify: WE HAD ACHIEVED OUR OBJECTIVE #we literally just needed to get out #but the rogue's player was like cmoooon its no fun to leave without looting everything we can get our hands on #now everything we're doing has gone to absolute shit #and to clarify: its going to be very interesting!!#and I feel like I would've been just fine with the result #IF it had been for any other reason besides that this one player seems to think that we're in a video game #like if there had been some kind of character motivation? or genuine concern that we were missing a piece of something we were looking for?#totally fine!! love that in fact!!#but just stealing shit because 'you're the rogue' feels... idk.#it just feels like it's a totally different game than the rest of us are playing #and now we ALL have to deal with the consequences #i just. urgh. i do not know what to do #i am gonna talk to the dm and see if she noticed the same thing as me #and try to brainstorm we the players can do to impart a sense of balance for people with different play styles #but i just feel like despite repeated efforts by the dm to be like hey this is a game for exploration and character engagement #the player is just ignoring that and doing Whatever He Feels Like #ANYWAY SORRY RANT OVER #I'm just really in love with this game and having one really thorny part is just HNG #positive note: the wizard whipped out alter self and thought he was the coolest guy in the whole world #despite repeatedly missing in combat #it was very cute and i wish Wyn wasn't absolutely certain that she was about to die #because she would absolutely stroke his ego about it simply to see him preen #the fighter was also very sweet and keeps working so hard to protect wyn #and since I'm a fighter in my other game i know where to put myself to make it easier for him so there's a lot of synergy #IT'S JUST VERY CUTE AND NICE AND GOOD. I LOVE THEM BOTH A LOT
