| #1SterlingRatJun 08, 2015 4:32:19 | I'm playing at a shop on sundays with a very fun group... the only one who sometimes exhibits bad behavior is... well, you know that saying about "Groups are like people; there's always an a-hole. If you look around the table and don't see one, it's probably you"
So yesterday at our weekly D&D game, I screwed up the rules on one of my spells, told another player how to play his character and (at least 3 times) answered a question another player asked the DM (and I was not politely helpful when explaining rules... I was a d*ck about it). I was tired and cranky and had no patience for pretty much the whole session.
Anyway - I owe them something for not stringing my character up by his johnson and beating him like a pinata. I thought I would make some cookies for next week... What says "sorry" better, chocolate chip or peanut butter or sugar cookies? |
| #2rgoodbbJun 08, 2015 4:57:49 | Any of the above and
Next session, you could ask the group if they wish to....
A) duck-tape your mouth closed and, B) play your character during combat for the whole next session.
They make the combat decisions, you just roll. Mute.
You'll all probably be in fits of laughter within no time. |
| #3jaappletonJun 08, 2015 5:39:57 | Sugar cookies. Lots of people are allergic to peanuts. Even better than cookies? Go for cupcakes. |
| #4SterlingRatJun 08, 2015 5:45:46 | hmmm... my wife gave me an idea - make cupcakes in small ice-cream cones. And I asked her for some duck tape and found out she has 10 rolls of duck tape in her trunk, along with 2 boxes of heavy duty plastic trash bags.
I am now thinking I should apologize to my wife, too... I'm not sure for what, exactly, but just in case. I don't want her mad at me. |
| #5OrwellianHaggisJun 08, 2015 6:22:56 | This is a lovely gesture. Well done for making it. |

| #7Coredump00Jun 08, 2015 8:41:32 | I would accept a verbal apology.
I would gladly accept, with a smile, cookies with the verbal apologies.
If you want an ally for life... make them oatmeal raisin.... yum!!!

The correct answer is always red velvet cupcakes. |

As long as the sincere apology comes first and with a valiant atttempt to not need cookies again in the future, I think they'll appreciate whatever you made. Sugar cookies are probably the safest bet, due to people with food alergies and some folks just not liking either peanut butter or chocolate. You may, however want to look up a diabetic-friendly recipe for cookies just in case someone in your group has that issue.

| #12QzooJun 08, 2015 16:09:31 | Apologies and cookies are all nice as a band-aid after you stab your adventuring buddies, but what I really NEED is a promise to not do it again, therefore avoiding future stabs. |
| #13SterlingRatJun 08, 2015 16:47:31 | My problem is talking too much. No one likes a guy that tells them how to do something... even if what I'm saying is a 'better' idea than what they were doing, people, in general, don't have a good time when they think someone else at the table is judging them. I can be right about the rules and right about an idea and still **** all over someone else's fun by opening my mouth about it. I'm working on keeping my pie hole closed... and just as important, I'm trying not to be so damned judgemental and impatient. Cookies and probably cupcakes are my way of saying "I know I did something bad. I will try to be better. Thank you for letting me keep playing and having fun while I try to work out my personal issues." Unfortunately, I can't fit that all on a cake. |

| #15iserithJun 08, 2015 18:30:17 | I only accept apologies when Rice Krispie Treats ("homemade" not the pre-made ones) are offered in tandem. |
| #16BRJNJun 08, 2015 19:04:28 |
And if you bring snacks for yourself, you can keep your mouth occupied even when you find something you MUST tell people. ... but your diet won't like it very much ...

| #17RaegoulJun 08, 2015 21:08:34 | Stop being a spineless toad, get back in there and give 'em hell. Never tell people you are going to change because people do not change. Bring cupcakes and eat them in front of everyone because that is hardcore roleplaying
Saying sorry now, means they will not forgive you the next time
