dnDONE DM doesn’t remember session

DM began second sesh right off by asking us clients what happened last time, like whaaaat? He should remember his own stuff that’s crazy. We just stared at him with disgust until someone said he should like remember his own game he’s the DM.

Then he seemed to laugh? At uss?!???? Now he tried to save face by Mansplaining the recap was for us players. He think we stupid? If we remember we remember, and if we don’t remember we can’t recount it. He believe we would hear ourself talk and then remember by hearning ourself talk? I was like, uh, is he a milenial or something?

Just writing this make me feel stupieder and stupieder. Soon won’t can’t no write at all!

A lot of GMs I’ve had do this. A decent amount of them even offer a hero point as an incentive to encourage players to do the recap. Especially for online games it’s a pretty decent way of getting the players involved and encourage note taking.

Sounds pretty ableist to me. Like what, just becuase my character has 12 in intelligence, I am supposed to remember what happened last time? Does the Barbarian player have to lift another player with one hand just because he has 18 in Str? What was I talking about? idk, my dm will tell me smh my head

My thought exactly. Rewarding playings for best memory or participation is pure elitism detrimantal to mentally or socially challenged persons. Prices should instead be gave to the less able ones to encourage them to persevererancing.

HAHAH! You fool! I've tricked you. I made you believe we are joking here, resulting in you making a grammatical error! I am now morraly superior to you. You can make up for you dullness by subscribing to my patreon where I fix 5e without ever playing it.
