In today's episode of Dungeons and Dragons Horror Stories, we have a tale of a creepy DM that touches a player without asking consent, a story of a cringe guy that has too much to drink and ruins a campaign, and a tale of a DM using TTRPGs to steal a player's girlfriend.

The fact that the last guy's GF left him for the creepy DM is just heart breaking.

[@furiousbladeshinichi161]

Big facts

[@PaladinGear15]

Yeah what the hell? You can't even tell what his female NPC's hair colour is... unless you took their underwear off, he'd probably tell you then >_>

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

I mean, if she’s the sort who would actually want to date a creep like that DM, OP probably dodged a bullet.

[@Radiata_Lionfish]

Look at the brigth side: He dodged a shotgun blast there. If your significant other is gonna ditch you for someone as creepy as that DM, I don't think that marrying said significant other would've been a good idea

[@thewolfstu]

Must have hurt, ngl, but could of dodged a bullet there. Ay, if the OP ever sees this, You, my good sir, seem like quite the nice and loveable lad/lass/other state of being.

[@brother-tico4363]

About the last story, of OP's girlfriend breaking up with him to stay with that creepy DM... well... look a the bright side: at least you dodge a bullet. If this girl is ok with all that crap, I don't think she was your half soulmate.

[@kakonoteouji4876]

ooh buddy need to get out of that mind set. There isn't a soulmate out there but you can make great relationship however must be careful some will just try and use you. work on self-esteem, confidence and own goals for life

[@FernandoSegovia701]

@@kakonoteouji4876 It's just an expression. Besides, even if they believe in soulmates, there are too many ways people believe in them. You can't assume someone lacks self-esteem just because of that. They could mean "soulmate" as someone who complements their already good traits.

[@Raoul9753]

@@jamesmahon6788 Maybe not even trash, but maybe they both are really into erotic RP... I once had a case where 2 players from a long running game approached me and offered to pay me to DM a... lets say "adult" session for the two of them. They made clear that "adult" roleplay turned them on and stuff, but lucky for me, they were really not pushy about it and respected my boundaries. They basically just told me they like my DM style and had fantasies with their characters already, but it fell kinda flat without a DM... So yeah, guess the Ex-GF of the last OP just really found her "thing" with that DM guy.

[@jamesmahon6788]

@@Raoul9753 perhaps it is the case. But from how OP describes the dm's style I imagine it as very unimaginative and stereotypical flat. If that's all it takes to win the gf's heart then I stand by my statement

@@jamesmahon6788 maybe. But t the same time, we have a biased author here. He first got caught in ERP he didn't ask for, and then his GF dumped him for the DM. And while I agree forcing ERP on someone is a dick move, we cant take the story as the gospel truth here.

"Free healthcare." I enjoy the dry delivery very much. 😆

[@Devilhand21]

The first story left a serious bad taste in my mouth. Like, I get cheating is bad, I've had it happen to me twice, but to do it right in front of the woman you're about to marry? That dm needs some therapy. As for the second story, you can drink whatever you want, just don't let it influence your decisions. Also, Quidditch is a sport from harry potter, and yeah there is a real life like version you can play (There isn't anything flying and trying to kill you.), there is no way he would be buff and more handsome from it, he just had main character syndrome to the nth degree and op should have shut down the increase to 5 thing, and said a 3 or 4 seemed right, but definitely not 5. I get you want to keep your friends and such, but you got to stand against them when it comes to somethings, even as minor as a ttrpg.

[@ObsidianFallen]

"She left me for him" actually shocked me

[@marceline1485]

Any time I join a new campaign with people (especially dms) that I don't know that well, I make my characters A-Sexual. So if anyone tries to get creepy, I can just point to the character sheet and say it's not happening. I once played a lesbian warlock (being a lesbian and a goth myself, this seemed fitting) and had a DM try to make my character straight and convert to a new god in the same session. I noped out of that campaign very quickly.

[@Draeckon]

I'm sorry you keep having to deal with these problems. It's a shame this hobby I love attracts the kind of people who think that behavior is acceptable. I hope you're able to find a good group!

[@DungeonDragon18]

I went to a one-shot once where one of the new players was really drunk, but luckily she wasn't this disruptive. She just couldn't focus on the plot or remember which dice were which, and it was kind of annoying to have to stop every five minutes to remind her which NPC we're talking to and which dice to roll, but we got through the session without needing to send her home. The DM tried to talk to her and her boyfriend afterwards, and realized that this woman had a serious drinking problem and wasn't going to be any better behaved at future games, so they just didn't get invited back. Her BF was a nice guy and a good player, but sadly they were a package deal.

[@Stuurminator]

If you want to add sex to D&D, there are places you can go to find other players into that. It's the 21st century and all, those places exist. You don't have to ambush unsuspecting players and just hope it works out. Though I guess it netted that GM a new girlfriend in this case, so what do I know?

Nothing like the wholesome cat to give max buffs.

[@l0stndamned]

While I understand what the OP was trying to do, basing characters on the players can be kinda a bad idea when dealing with newbies and/or folks you haven't screened for ego even before booze gets involved.

[@Nesseight]

Oh man, that drunken quidditch guy I would troll hard. "I add BS to my stats because I'm hot and good at quidditch" * You notice the paper shredders at every player's feet. "I steal a beer from the DM" * The DM notices this and says "I can out drink you" as he chugs down a 40... of vodka. "Here now, let's make some decisions about your character now that I am in the proper state of mind"

[@marybdrake1472]

Geez Louise, it feels like there is always a Brad that brings it down at some point.

[@DerpySquiddles4043]

i swear my partner has gone out of their way not to show favouritism toward me in their games since my character is usually the one getting beat up (in a fun way not in a picking on me way, plus she has relentless endurance so she doesn’t go down easily)

[@DnDDoge]

Yeah, playing with a couple can be great as long as there is no favoritism. One of my fellow players wife is our DM, and we never had issue. Just depends on the person.

[@PaladinGear15]

Oof, if I was filling out my own sheet to represent myself, it'd be like a 2 in strength, 2 in appearance. Why this guy thought he was super model gorgeous and a world class bodybuilder by playing Quidditch... dude's gotta humble himself.

Hate to say it but I couldn't help but facepalm when the Storyteller in the Vampire game said something to the effect of "I wanted to push on for just 15 more minutes to really get the story rolling for everyone to enjoy!". By allowing Brad to continue playing you guaranteed noone at your table would have fun. It's the responsibility of a Storyteller/DM/GM to have the backbone to kick out a player who is ruining a game for everyone.

12:00 OK here I put some blame onto OP because despite the problem player being drunk, agressive and constantly trying to hit on people(in multiple ways) he just kept on pushing the game instead of calling it a day. If things go this bad than you might as well cancel it and talk about it tomorrow or something.

[@Razorkeyboard]

Omg, is the term GTFO! no longer a thing? There's a time for manners and then there's a time to be abrupt and about the time Cider boy started throwing pencils I would have told him GTFO! or the police can remove you (as drunk as he was I would have called them either way if there was a risk of him driving home).

[@thedarkcat7484]

I do some freelance DMing, and I once had two players sit there the entire campaign, constantly talking about the Minecraft streamers they hate. Like... with vitriolic and disgusting comments. Wishing people would send them pipe bombs and then saying they were joking, refusing to let two tea cups be near each other because the colors reminded them of two of the guys (????????), and constantly shit talking. It was so uncomfortable. And very out of left field. I get not liking people, and you're allowed to talk smack about celebrities, but... I thought, wow, what a weird thing to be so aggressive about. Like... Minecraft? It was even more uncomfortable for me, because my little brother has told me how much he likes Minecraft and some of those guys, but the really awkward part was that... This was a for public session. They paid a general admission like everyone else, and did this all in front of strangers, who were also uncomfortable. Eventually I just asked them to please stop, and they got mad, but they did. And they did still claim to have a good time, but it wasn't very nice for the rest of us. It was just weird and uncomfortable. I honestly didn't know how to react. They seemed to genuinely like the session, and said they wanted to do another with me sometime, but I really don't want to hear about how much they want Minecrafters to "fall and break a kneecap, ha ha, jk" again. At least I got paid for it, though.

Short funny story that I hope gets added to a video, as it's as cringey as it is funny. But one time I was playing a funny campaign with friends, and my character was, I shit you not, a sentient brick. With terrifyingly high, almost maxed out stats. I *almost* didn't get to play it but after trying to convince the DM how funny it would be, they basically said why not, we play through our sessions and at the very ending, we're finally at the BBEG battle. It was a tricky and difficult fight because the dice gods werent on their side at that moment (of COURSE.) But I'll never forget what went down. "POV: Team is about to have their asses handed to them, but one member begins pulling out Brick from their bag, yells "VICTORY IS OURS BROTHERS!" tossing it in front of the boss, the boss looks confused for a moment, then begins to laugh and mock the party, only to be silenced as doom music starts fading in (I played it from my phone, it really added onto the whole meme moment, everyone almost died laughing). What made the moment even better is how at that moment, the dice finally started giving good rolls, so here's this boss having his ass handed to him, BY A BRICK. best funny/meme campaign I've ever had.

My horror stories wouldn't be youtube friendly in any capacity lol. I had two players once when I was running a public group on behalf of my local library.. they recognized me from an adult store I used to work at about two years prior and proceeded to use that as justification to sexually harass me. They'd ask me incredibly inappropriate sexual questions, in front of children no less, no matter how many times I told them to stop. The library wouldn't let me kick anyone out, so I just had to grit my teeth and bear it. Until the day the older of the two (50s, I was 20) came up to me and asked me, in the middle of the children's section of the library, if I wanted to join his (totally real and not at all a figment of his filthy unbathed imagination) harem and began to describe what he wanted to do to me sexually. In front of LITERAL CHILDREN, like I'm not talking just the couple of teens leaving the dnd room last minute but actual like 5-10 year old kids, and my boyfriend at the time. I haven't stepped foot in that library since. It's been nearly three years now.

I'm getting flashbacks to 3.5 dnd from that last one. There is a class called, I shit you not, the Sacred Prostitute that can heal and restore spells depending on the character's level but you have to do the obvious for it to work. It got a weird mix of clerical spells and a few other abilities that actually made it a decent class.
