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 DMing
So you were actively refusing to engage with the game? I sure hope you're a better GM than you are a player.
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 anymore
The centre core point is collaborative storytelling. Which means working with the others at the table, not going off to do your own thing.
Would I go into that forest? Sure, why not. Either it will be a fun adventure, or a TPK (which can be fun in its own way, and hopefully also be educational for the GM).
Was it her first time DMing?
I dont know. But she said she created a whole world and stuff. She also had a DMPC named gobo that was "tihi so random funmy haha lol xd rofl"
