That's Just What My Character Would Do

Investigation Check

Welcome to Investigation Check! We (Anthony and Josh) invite you to join us as we kick off Season One with an investigation on problem players.

Is the player problematic or just the way they're playing? Do they cause problems in every party, or would they fit better in a different one? Is each player responsible for making the game fun for themselves, or fun for everyone? Or is that the DM's job? If you don't think there's a problem, are you the problem player?

Our investigation takes us first to Reddit, where we gather your stories and identify some archetypes of problem players. To get a firsthand account we sit down with our friend Thomas, who we suspect is a problem player. We then consult an expert who helps DMs and players alike sort out the problem player woes at their own tables.

Join us as we make an investigation check on problem players and what can we do about them!
