The DM was firm on his decision though, so everyone just pouted and went with it.īegrudgingly, our party headed to the thieves guild. The other 3 players at the table argued with the DM about this, pointing out issues of him railroading them in situations I was never even present for so I sat and held my tongue. Notably, we wanted to seek aid from the nearby town to solve a problem, but in saying "we want to set out" he stopped us, described this whole scenario where how the road was closed due to rock fall, and told us we instead *Decided* to go to the local thieves guild instead for help. When after about the 3rd session I began to pick up on some red flags of the DM forcing some really heavy railroad. Despite the joke name, we were VERY serious about the backstory and went to great lengths with the DM to make something really interesting! The first few session kick off, I am introduced and the game is great! "I love D&D I wanna play this forever" I thought. My friend and I started writing quite a bit about the two we called "The Lion, the Witch, and the Warlord" as her previously established backstory was her family killed by a power hungry warlord. She played an elf warlock/wizard "witch", and in the joke of a name I came up with the idea to be known as "Lion" as my beast of companionship was a lion (reskinned a wolf, DM was totally on board). The DM was a friend of a friend and the OG friend who introduced me wanted to have a backstory that linked the two of us together! It would give me a reason to join the game in progress as well as someone to bounce RP off of more easily. They enter a "trance" for rest, and they are immune to effects and spells that put them to sleep. In one of my first D&D 5E games I decided to play as a Wood Elf Beastmaster Ranger because its one of my favorite elements of fantasy! I lIf you have ever played a 5E elf you would know one of its major features is that elves simply do not sleep.
