I quit my brother's DnD campaign last night. He's a great DM, don't get me wrong, but a small word of advice for anyone who wants to run an exploration-based campaign: you need to give a clear baseline. In most DnD games it's just "tolkienesque fantasy," but if you want to take that away you have to replace it with something that you can adequately explain to the players.

I’m sorry to hear that, but it sounds like you did the right thing. Maybe you can give him some constructive criticism as to how he can explain it better and make the baseline clearer? I know that always helps me when I’m writing a story or creating a campaign.

I tried. He tore into me until I had a mental breakdown. Saying shit like "I don't even know why I respect you" and "I put so much effort into spending time with you and you spit in my face."
He made me out to be a monster and I wholeheartedly believed him. It took... a while for me to get over it.

Ouch. Yeah that's definitely not a good reaction on his part. From what you've said, you were pretty reasonable and your questions were more than valid.
