In that first story, I'm guessing that Uncle was used to playing pre-made modules, where there is (sort of) a "script", and it is possible to "peek ahead". Which still doesn't make it a good idea, of course.

Probably the only "script" I can think of for any DnD campaign, would be a module, and even then things could be changed in it. Uncle was definitely looking to try to read ahead up and anticipate everthing and likely spoil the fun for everyone else. My RIFTS GM also ran games without notes, or a screen, everything was played while sitting on foldable chairs around the barracks room. No maps, no figurines, just rolling dice and talking about what happened and what we did lol

The whole "roll till it opens" reminded me of one of 4e's better ideas: skill challenges. PC's had two possible outcomes (success and failure) and the PC's had to get a certain number of successes before failures to succeed. Either way, you failed forward, but the encounter/rewards you faced would be different based on the result. It was pretty neat.

At my tables, we use a system known as Let It Ride. If the character most capable at accomplishing a task fails that said task, then no one else is able to attempt it until the situation changes. This prevents the entire table from attempting the same thing in hopes of a 20 and instigates creative problem solving. Also helps with group co-operation. For example, if the rogue fails to lockpick a door; the barbarian will have no way of doing it, no matter their roll. If the barbarian says that they want to try to rip the door off of its hinges, they can since it has changed the situation. But if they fail, the other party members will have to try something else. Such as the wizard using their familiar owl to find a potential different route in, such as a window that was left open. Personally, this lets each player have chances of doing something only they are capable of. If the group knows they only get the one roll, then spotlight hogs will pretty quickly stop butting into situations they will not be very helpful in. Mix this with another rule I employ, which is only having players roll when something interesting and fun can happen if they fail, you'll have some very memorable events happen.

I got the feeling the Uncle in the first story isn't just a manchild, but mentally a child too, so he really is a child in a man's body. The mother was just trying to help her poor brother in her opinion, not entirely sure what was going on. The last story's GM was not only a bad DM (in the sense of trying to screw over a player for funsies), but also incompetent (since he clearly didn't know what he was doing or where he was going with the plot). Good thing he got replaced. And always keep the kitties onscreen for us, good Doge!

In reality, if you know what you're doing, picking a lock is only a matter of time. After the first attempt fails (and sets off the trap if there is one), then just take 20 -- if you still can't pick it... well, that's what fighters with high strength scores are for.

DnD is definitely not something you can just "have a script for". It is, as the OP of first story said, completely improvised on the spot because anything can happen. You can introduce the BBEG for your entire campaign in a session, only for someone to roll high and unceremoniously dispatch them in the first battle you have. Best you can do is notes on where to take things, as long as you don't get too railroady.

All it is, is a "Template" for you to work the rest on yourself! You can stick to the script, but where's the fun in that! (There's a balance to be kept in place that one NEEDS to keep into mind, as sticking to it COMPLETELY can have the negative effect of things being "Safe and Predictable!" Go to far off the rails and you lose the plot and are just doing RANDOM shit! I mean lets use Fire Emblem as an example! Yeah playing through a FE is going through the same thing! But with how Growth Rates work in being random! The game is NOT completly the same! One run can go "Curbstomping easy" while another could be "difficult" because the RNG wasn't in completely in your favor! Hell this is where Roguelikes/Roguelites get their fame from as no one playthrough is the same! Story might be, but going through it! "completely different" each time! I think a better game series to use for this is the SaGa games made by SquareEnix which take the MOST from D&D, "Romancing SaGa 1" or specifically "It's PS2 Remake" which is the closet you'll get to a JRPG playing around with "D&D" rules!)

Those trapped chest players should meet my niece's party. She prepared a treasure room with THREE, count them, THREE treasure chests. The PCs open one, grab the loot, look at the other two chests, and say, "Naw," and WALK AWAY. No time constraints. No traps. No monsters incoming. NOTHING to make them HAVE to leave the loot behind. They don't even track encumbrance in her game. They simply decided "One treasure chest is enough for us. Off we go!" It boggles my mind, but so does the obsession with FULL CLEAR, when you're in danger, and you already know the loot won't be that great, anyway. Besides, if the loot is fantastic, and the GM wants you to have fantastic loot, they'll just place the fantastic loot in some other place you'll be visiting soon, instead. Right? Same as they would for vital clues in a mystery.

I'm of the opinion that most of the time picking a lock should not be a tense situation to begin with, and when it is it shouldn't be due to the lock. People make locks to be easy for them to open while signaling that something is private; somebody who actually is trying to keep people out isn't going to be deeply invested in locks to begin with, and there is a reason why heavily trapped areas are typically not the residence of anything living. I understand the idea of trying to make the lock a dynamic and tense challenge, but that's video game logic which just doesn't translate well into actual videogames because it's hard to make the lock picking deep and interesting. My own probable perspective would be that I wouldn't want to go into a tomb under a lake of acid to begin with if I wasn't already absolutely prepared to break out through the ceiling and escape through the lake, and if I did go in my expectation would be to return empty-handed, with ruined equipment and clothing, running a serious monetary loss for this expedition... but alive and reasonably certain anything in that tomb was now damaged beyond easy repair. This is the sort of job that has to get done but isn't the sort of job that pays. ...Which also means I'd also need to be figuring out a way to get back there because I've been told there's quite possibly undestroyed loot in that acid-filled room and somebody's got to do something about it. [Appended] Speaking as the person who once gave somebody I'd just met very bad vibes which they chose to ignore for the moment... it's not good on the other side either. While it might not signify an objectively bad thing, there is definitely a problem that's going to turn up sooner or later, and you may as well either walk away or try to find out what it is at once.

1. Scripting, or the lack thereof, is very much a Referee style thing. I've known Referees who work everything out in advance, in detail. I also know Referees who improvise pretty much everything. Many are somewhere in between, such as me - perhaps a very general 'road map' of how / where things will (hopefully) go, but nothing in detail. But any competent Referee knows that no script survives contact with the Player-Characters. Having to improvise at short notice will always be a possibility. But dropping small hints to Players, in terms of where things might go isn't the worst idea. Knowing that, for example, 'Swim' might be a more useful skill than, say, 'Court Etiquette' in future sessions can only help the game. 2. As a Referee, I would say that, sometimes, Players will not necessarily get EVERYTHING they want. In this particular case, I'd suggest POSSIBLY making a return trip at some stage to finish the job. IF they really want to, that is - and are they absolutely sure that the payoff will be worth the extra trouble? Oh, and suck it up, people, because sometimes stuff just happens. On lockpicking, I'd usually allow multiple tries if the PCs have the time, the tools and there are no negative consequences for failure. However, if there is an especially bad roll, then the lock is jammed or damaged, and no further lockpick attempts are possible. 3. I'm thinking this Referee needed to check his medication.

Two PC's, trained in thieves tools, can assist each other so one gets advantage, but the DC will increase for both on a failure and since they assisted, it will be 4, 8, 16, etc. Or one can try at the base DC then the other can try at the base DC.

8:19 I get what you're saying and I mostly agree. However, I want to add that, if you DO really want another method, you could have monsters show up or something. Make things time sensitive in this one instance. If time is the only way to "punish" bad rolls, then you can totally make use of that! Though it obviously wouldn't work with this group who is so obviously impossible to please, since the OP said the players gave the acid trap as an EXAMPLE of what they wanted only to throw a fit. On a side note, that last part is also why I don't think this is a "video game mentality" issue. If someone similarly picked out a video game specifically because they claimed to enjoy the way it punishes players... only to get into a screaming match with other players when it happens then that's not the games twisting their mindset. That's fully on the individual.

Though a lot of people's comments say that he was probably thinking of it like a pre-made module, and more than likely wanted to cheat and metagame than anything, which is a bad thing to do to a first-time young DM.

For picking locks I think I would rule 3 failed attempts or one critical fail would break the lock. Honestly though, I just had a stroke of genius. Say the party enters a room with a chest locked with a padlock and the rogue or whomever has thieves tools goes straight to unlocking the chest after checking out the room, but without checking out the chest. Ideally they would roll a nat 1, and I would say, "the tumbler cracks and breaks, rotating freely and dropping loose from the lock." After the player's initial look of shock from succeeding on a critical fail, if they went straight for the chest I'm sure they'd continue to do so. It's at this point that I would be too nice to not say anything, "are you sure you want to open the chest without checking it out?" The DC for that will be a 5. And after they succeed on the inspection, I'll just say, "it's breathing, but still locked... Barely."

And even if there were, if ONLY ONE PLAYER HAS IT, then that means everyone else is NOT USING THE SCRIPT, so it will all go to hell, anyway. Uncle doesn't have the mental age of a teen.

Taking 20 takes 2 minutes, 2 minutes that a passing NPC can stumble across the PCs and sound the alarm.

That's like reading the end of a book to see if there is a happy ending or not. If other players don't know or can't know what might happen then why should the uncle be privy to such potential knowledge? Not to mention just because that's how it was done when you were little doesn't mean the DM manages the game the same way.

We can meet our alternate selves in the mirror world were we are evil instead of good Dm: *but thats not how the mirror world works* Has this guy not watched tos star trek?? I could hardly follow along to that last story and it sounded like this dm had it out on op because he was playing a paladin.

Imagine though. You're meeting your mirror selves and they're kinder, more helpful, etc. You then realize you're the evil version.

If you try to pick a lock and fail, the trap goes off. if it's not trapped (or you survive the trap) you can Take-20 (two minutes), if you can't open it with a 20, you can't open it. Sometimes you can pick a lock quickly, sometimes it takes several minutes -- depending on how tricky it is and how good you are at picking locks... To say something like "if you can't pick it in 12 seconds the lock breaks" is unrealistic.

hilariously I keep my notes in spiral notebooks... but they are all black and I have like 10 of them and they aren't labeled. so even if my players wanted to peek, I have time to catch them looking because they'd have to find which one corresponded to the game I'm running, lol. That uncle though seems kind of like a dolt, thinking of the "mental age of a teenager" he probably wanted a video game style clarity play where you get waypoints and markers for what you want... welcome to D&D mother fucker, roll for initiative! lololol

In the first story, it sounds like the uncle might have an intellectual disability and simply didn't understand how the game actually works. The OP did start out by saying the uncle has the mental age of a teenager. If the uncle had played before and the other group gave him 'a script', he well might have been used by them as a kind of party NPC -- so the uncle ended up believing that's how it was supposed to be in every game. Complaining to the mother could be part of how the uncle deals with things he wants 'fixed', not being psychologically able to do it himself. The way the OP described the uncle's actions, he doesn't sound 'normal'.

The guy sounds like he was from that story I heard a long time ago of someone who actually tried rping in what he assumed was a rp campaign, (which, what d&d campaign isn't?) And basically got told to stfu and to 'rp when you ate told to rp' and then when told to rp, does, but then when 'shown how to rp' it was nothing but the 2 other meat heads there were just giving one note, 2 to 3 word lines or some garbage like that... That's not role-playing. That's just adhering to a terribly written, terribly worded script...

Ummm WTF is that mirror dimension, OP had it right as it should be. However that DM clearly needs to get their head checked and realize they may be the DM but their story has to make sense.

Disagree on the lock picking, After so many times of trying to bash down a door, the door doesn't break and you can't break it down anymore, neither does the internals of a lock trying to pick it. Literally can have the strong guy just wrench the lock at that rate making the skill useless. Unless it's trapped, or there's some time constraint, they pop it open.
