"Sorry for being a jerk" cookies

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?

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.

Sugar cookies. Lots of people are allergic to peanuts. Even better than cookies? Go for cupcakes.

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.

This is a lovely gesture. Well done for making it.

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!!!

Red velvet cupcakes.

 

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.

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.

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.

I only accept apologies when Rice Krispie Treats ("homemade" not the pre-made ones) are offered in tandem.

  Bring a variety pack, watch which flavors disappear first.  Bring more of those the next week. 

 

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 ...

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  Just bring cupcakes as compensation without saying why

You could always take some gelatinous cube treats:
