Hey folks! This week we explore a potentially controversial topic: Is your D&D Group dysfunctional? If you have that nagging feeling that something is not working well in your gaming group, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is, then this video will hopefully expand your vocabulary and set you on the path to making things better.

I say it in the video, but I will also write it down here explicitly. A dysfunctional group does not mean it's a group made of bad people. It's just a group that does not function as well as it should.

I quit my last DnD group because of how dysfunctional it was. The DM didn’t care so they were never really prepared with quests or what happens next, we got 3 new members out of nowhere and they’re a bunch of frat boys who try and sexually assault everything in-game, and everyone just tries to kill every npc we show up to.

Ouch! I feel for you. That must have been a very bad experience.

The worst part is that the organizer who hosts these sessions does so at my towns local used book store and when I messaged her and told her I wouldn’t be attending anymore she told me I wasn’t welcome at her shop anymore.
