D&D – How to be the Worst Player

I have previously posted my tips and tricks on how to work in a team around the D&D table, but what if you think teamwork is lame and making others happy is overrated, well then your in luck, simply follow all of the following tips and you will for sure be the most hated player in your game.

A Great way to frustrate your fellow players is to act before discussing it with your team, especially if your team are tying to plan and come up with a clever solution to the problem they are faced with. Make sure to always charge into the problem head first. This will ensure that you don’t get bored with all the potential talking and strategy.

Hogging the Limelight will establish you and your character as the most important at the table. If another player at the table does something cool, you can’t allow them to look better than you, make sure that you one up them in any way you can.

Only Use this tip if you are fully committed to getting kicked out of your D&D Game. The only issue with this tip is that you need to learn the rules of D&D word for word. Despite all the effort you’ll need put in, you will find that being a Rules Lawyer is extremely satisfying , especially when you get undermine the GM, whenever they make a decision that is different to the rules as written.

Listening is overrated, make sure that you are not paying attention when the GM is speaking. When the GM is speaking you should be thinking about what your having for dinner that night, or even the meaning of life. As long as you are not paying attention to the GM, you are sure to annoy everyone, when you ask the GM to repeat what they have just said. The golden rule is this, If you are listening more than you are speaking, you are probably doing something wrong.

Envisioning a character who doesn’t work well in a team or who has the opposite goals to the rest of your party, would mean that you are constantly in conflict with the others at the table. This is perfect, you will be able to be antisocial and antagonistic to your teammates and although they may start to hate you, you can hide behind the fact that you are roleplaying and it’s not you that’s constantly betraying them, it’s technically your character.
