A worthy sacrifice

Would you go deeper into a forrest where this goblin that was clearly maliciouse and can not be damaged went into as well as you found traces of a owl bear herd, with some people that you just woke up next to in a cave? My characters goals was collecting cooking books and books about ingreedients plus finding the rarest one and to get back at the mafia that cursed him to become a skeleton. Im sorry i must have missed the part where in a TTRPG ROLEPLAYING isnt the center core point anymoreI don't think anyone's going to tell you not to roleplay in dnd. I'm just wondering why you aren't role-playing a character that wants to play with the characters your friends have made

I let one of my players DM for once and she railroaded it. Me walking away from the party because my character litterly just met them and doesnt know them. Her constantly: "you run into a cliff. Cant walk there there is a huge hedge" Then when i did just say fuck it. Basicly forced my character to go to a town. And then she said "a portal opens up underneath you and you are back with the party in their Dimension they are in right now" No the party didnt summon me, no other magic was involved from any NPC or me. I left that exact session and returned on DMingBro, you let her DM for the first time in your group and then ***you*** decided to not engage at all with the storyline. She panicked and wasn't sure how to bring an argumentative player back into the fold so she prevented you best she did. I'm kinda with her, man. It's your responsibility as a player to engage with the story. As a near forever DM, this type of shit from my players is exactly what would get you removed from my table. We're all here to tell a story together. Part of that is the willingness to tell that story together. It is ***not*** the DMs responsibility to play to your characters specific personality to get them involved when the DM is running it for everyone. That is asking way too much from your DM and is, honestly, really self-centered of a way to go about things. ***YOU designed your character. It is YOUR responsibility to design them in such a way that they're interested in the story. NOT the DMs.***

Because I just woke up in a cave, surrounded by strangers, and was given the opportunity to either walk into the forest on my own to try and find a way back or to go with these people to find out what the hell happened to me. Its your responsibility as a player to get involved in the story. You designed your character. You decided to have them be argumentative and hostile to the story as a whole. That is on you, not the DM. The DM did the best they could with a player who refused to engage with the story that you all agreed on. This is some heavy main character syndrome shit...
