    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

      Yes. 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…

      I 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

      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).
