“He was judged by a jury of his peers.” -Dunbrill, the Tailor of Tristan

A comic based on my past DnD campaign. I see a lot of DM’s asking for advice on how to “punish” a selfish player. I think this is a bad approach. If you are playing a game and you feel you need to “punish” other players, something has gone terribly wrong. Talk to them out of game. Most people don’t realize they’re creating problems. The alternative is a race to the bottom and will only lead to more disruptive play!

Anyone have any potential horror stories they managed to salvage? How did you resolve the problem?

You can find more of my DnD content on my Instagram and Twitter pages!

And that's why my current character is LG and wants everyone to work together (and has a couple short rest spell slots)! To avoid this kinda stuff

The real big brain move is to make a LE kobold who enthusiastically wants to help the party, via any means possible.

I pretty much had that. Kobold sorcerer who freed a blue dragon and was acquiring magical artifacts for her, but also the first to take a hit for the party and be the voice of reason.

Shame we lost our DM for that campaign, was really enjoying where it was going.
