I thank you for your advice. I dropped out, as I’m not particularly close to the DM or the group.
Funny enough, except for 1 player everyone has been a player at my table before for several months. It felt kinda weird to be amongst ex-players at the table. So it’s not like I wanted to stay at all costs. Plus I had a few… unspoken differents with the DM. Not big and bad things, but some things that we never talked about before I became a player at his table.
What do you think of my concept ? About gagging ?
Another good example that made me had my jaw dropped for real was the time that we had a new player (nice!) intro into a tavern (classic) but then the DM bulldozered over the introduction and sent us straight to our objective before we had time to say anything more than Hi. I felt gagged as never before that time.
Plus for me as a DM, players talking to each other in character is GOLD. It’s precious. It’s fun. It explores their characters and bond them together tightly more than quests or NPCs ever could. Plus it saves your preps for next session as time goes by. So for me, going over that and taking it away is like watching a DMPC doing all of the saving. It’s a no-no squared.
