    A group is a pretty big commitment anon. Don't take it personally, these are people you'd be spending several hours with every weekend pretty much. Assuming we weren't in need of players, I'd also be a bit dodgy about inviting a "friend of a friend" to the group. Good roleplay takes some pretty carefully cultivated personal dynamics, and it's always a bit of an adjustment inviting new people. Still if you want to get involved maybe ask if you can try to run a one-shot some time, to put your best foot forwards.

      I get your point but he literally knows I'm a seasoned DnD player- I got him into the hobby

        He might just assume that you have a group already since you’re a veteran DND player or he just thinks you’re embarrassing

        So? That might be the problem itself. If he's new like you say he is, then there's a good chance his friends are also new and they don't want someone of a higher ceiling coming in while they newbie this shit. Also while you might be his friend, his friends are not by extension also your friends and in many group sessions it's not really polite to being in outsiders on a whim.

    Depends on how big the group is. If they've already got, like, 6 people, then adding another person is really gonna be pushing it. I don't blame you for feeling left out though.

    You can just ask if you can join. Or you can take the hint and go find your own group of friends.

    I didn't think he'd like it at first- he doesn't drink and his gf always ribs us for being nerds but fair points there I suppose. I've got a game I'm running with two friends I know through 40k so I might invite him and see how it goes as a general offer

    Not at all. You aren't entitled to join a group just because you know someone (or even everyone) there. He isn't obliged to invite you just because he's fricking your sister.

    Groups are constrained by numbers my dude. If you've already got 5 players in a group then inviting a sixth is just going to slow things down and make a campaign harder to run. And for newer GMs an even smaller group might be better.

      I went to a buddy's game at his college once. He invited me, nobody minded having him and they were all pretty cool but there was like 13 people not counting myself (Yes I did play a halfling burglar as it seemed the thing to do)but while it was fun it took forever for ANYTHING to get done. Not gonna lie though, would play with any of those dudes again.

    depends on how well you know the guy i guess.

    if you have normie friends try to get them into it. if that dosen't work, look for open game nights at your lgs. if that dosen't work, look for internet people, i recommend foundry vtt.

    just be aware you will probably have to be the one DMing, which is actually the most fun part so don't be scared.

    are there any AI gm models worth a damn yet? i wouldn't mind only getting to run precon modules if I could play solo so i don't have to put up with normalgay group members

      Last I checked, AI has no ability to grep the words it spews forth and it leads to continuity problems. They'd be decent at generating prompts and the like though

      >That's a dick move right?
      Hard to say. No pun intended. There are countless reasons why they didn't invite you, but you did say his friends invited him, so he might not even feel it's in his space to bring someone in from the outside.
      You could always ask though, maybe as a guest player to see how it works out. Just try not to let it get awkward if things don't work out there or between him and your sis.

          DO you stink, are you obese, are you really awkward and misjudge social situations and make shit inappropriate jokes? might be why.
          If none of the above, mb just awkward, you are his gf's brother, is a messy dynamic. if they break up theeeen... what.

        damn. I figured that if one could be fed specific modules like tomb of annihilation, curse of strahd, or wild sheep chase an AI would have enough structure to be a passable DM while still being flexible enough to adapt to crazy bullshit

          At present, chat AI can keep a coherent narrative for about 2000 words before it starts ignoring what it previously wrote.

    Well, there's a chance he just doesn't like you, but have you tried asking? Trade some game stories with him, maybe offer to run a game for him.

    How many players does the group have? Prior experience has made me reluctant to ever have more than 5, myself included. Additionally, he may not feel like he has the right to invite you, especially if he's not the DM.
