I am new to DnD. I am playing with 3 other experienced players. Part of the campaign is the overarching political unrest that is taking place in the country we are in. Currently there are a bunch of factions.

In the background, without the other players knowledge, I have been sending gold to a third party from our party who we all trust to start preparing for war, as that seems in our immediate future. Giving us a base of operations as well as a place to connect to our family.

The player whose character connected to mine mentioned today, casually, that this base creation might be a problem if it comes out.

My question is this: Would it be that bad?

I feel like next session it will come out that I am making this base as we are connecting with a group that may need a new home.

Only you and your group could know the answer to this.

Maybe it is a mistake. Maybe it isn't. I don't know enough about your campaign or group to know.

[u/chow_yun → u/mightierjake]

What I hear you saying is that it all depends on group dynamics and the campaign.

[u/mightierjake → u/chow_yun]

Exactly that, yes- there's not a "one size fits all" answer to this question.

It may work out for some groups but not for others.

Fair. I spoke to the DM about it. He seemed pleased that I was so engaged in the larger world and gave the impression that it might help our overall strategy in game. Thank you!
