I joined a group to replace another player who bailed. I've been told I'm an improvement over the previous player so I think it's gone well.

>old player that starts a dnd group
>invited me over for a couple games since I got him into it
>bring a buddy with me
>group of weebs who just want to roll to bang and randumb shit
>roll up dwarf druid, had a vague backstory thought up
>DM tells me my backstory that I was raised by bears and buddy's character's dad murdered my bear parents and adopted me
>character resents his adoptive dad because murdered his real parents
>buddy's character is blissfully ignorant to my character's dilemma
>my character simply helps the party along and tries to provide decent insight when he can
>buddy's character rips and tears shit usually provides a solid plan
>only plot I can remember is that we went to an island, got transported into the past where the people only speak Druidic, and we eventually go back to the present and they apparently revered me as a god though they changed my name in their texts but it seems like it was my character
>the few sessions we went to, the party and DM compliment us on how we actually try to get shit done
>eventually stop going because it conflicts with my main group's schedule
>apparently DM killed off our characters and now the cleric has the spirit of the nine tailed fox and he needs to get the other tailed beast spirits

We had a good run.

It opened my eyes to the fact that there are good GMs and good players on Roll20.
