DM FORCES Players Character To Be GAY!

[@Redtail45044]

...Yeah. That's one where you simply say 'Well, if you're gonna change it it's not my character anymore. Have fun with that.' Then simply walk away. I mean, yes, you can try and reason with them first, but if they insist and persist in changing the character that you, personally, have created...then you might as well walk off.

[@kevinchong5424]

The dad could have ended up as any kind of horror, instead he was just the cheeky dad who screws around when playing with the kids

[@taddad2641]

dunno. maybe he was jsut doofing around. maybe he deliberately wantyed to be controlling and manipulative. but a glimpse into the guy's life and famiyl

[@Casandraelf]

i like to think it was a mix of incompetence and 'if it's a role playing game, i wanna be a broken as fuck character!'

[@TaoScribble]

Dang it, Dad! It's just a spreadsheet! It just accepts data, not enforces rules! XD

[@omegamysterio3701]

Honestly the whole joke about the human bard being a gay Tiefling could have worked, like in game the bard was dressed so extravagant to such a degree with pink and blue and purple silk clothes, streamers, and those medieval times cones/ horns people would wear covered on colorful streamers as well. And when what happened is what happened, the result is that everyone thinks the human bard is a Tiefling and it could either be stupid townspeople or misremembering them. It could have been a good little gag... BUT this DM definitely wasn't going for that and didn't even discuss such a situation with OP beforehand either, and constantly trying to change her character to be what they wanted? All the unwanted gay jokes that I'd say is borderline harassment at best? Yeah no I'd leave immediately it's not the DMs character it's the players because guess what? She MADE it. Another great video Dodge 🙂👍 and those kitties are still as adorable as ever, they deserve all the treats!

[@stevenschnepp576]

Don't forget, it's a Redditor posting this. I'd put down money that the DM and players in that story have a *very* different version.

[@chariotboi5061]

That story inspired me to make the wanted posters for my party purposefully incorrect as the townspeople aren't too bright and all they have to recount the party is hearsay of their ridiculousness

[@PTp1ranha]

There's a joke in one of the Xenoblade games where a character complains about a wanted poster getting her face wrong.

[@starbird3939]

Story 1 … Wow. He tried calling you during a Wine Tasting?! Yeah no. If no one is gonna bother show up, they are not gonna bother playing.

[@Blueoriontiger]

There was one dude I interviewed for a Cthulhu game, and he was walking in downtown LA through the entire interview. He put me on mute for several minutes to "talk to a guy in a building." He turned out to be a flaky problem player, you can find his story on Doge's subreddit that I posted. That same guy would randomly cold-call me on Discord without asking too. I now require a headset for all game sessions, and are very wary of people who are "out and about" when called.

[@Blindy_Sama]

I also survived the hurricane. The dad in The last story reminds me of and that beard video game power gamer that never truly grew up in some ways. But hey if everyone's enjoying the campaign for the most part then no harm no foul

[@unreasonable-man.bsky.social]

Growing up is highly overrated.

[@informitas0117]

Good 19minutes I don't have to think about my problems. Edit: this video did help break my thought spiral, thank you.

[@thehowlinggamer5784]

As a gay man, can confirm. I have no flair for the dramatic, have no clue about fashion, and am not flamboyant in any way. I'm a dorky geek who likes video games and anime with an old soul that also likes the Golden Girls and All In The Family and Mash.

[@YouW00t]

Only mildly disappointed you didn't read "emotional damage" in a Steven He voice. Just mildly.

[@roryscott2941]

I love the Dad playing with superhuman stats AND being rich

[@davhot4107]

The dad was in like "TheSpiffingBrit" mode. Like "Oh nooo it makes infinite money ohhh and I can buy the OP things with the money ohhh nooooo"

[@TheGamersfolly]

[@davhot4107]

He is like the youtuber "Spiffing Brit" where he expose videogames and webpages bugs and expoilts. "D&D Beyond is a perfectlly balanced game with no exploits"

[@vortega472]

Hi Ziggy! Done, and I liked it. I find paracord a great string for cats, it's sturdy. Shame on me, how could I forget about Simba, little cutie. Okay, looking forward to the next tales of whoa.

[@deepseastonecore3017]

Thanks 4 all the hard work.

[@starbird3939]

Story 2 Trying to force someone to act like a stereotype is gross.

[@Yoxiv]

Yea, it's a shame how rare it is to see well written gay characters in TV. Off the top of my head, Gus and Wally from Mission Hill were two of the best in animation. Their gayness wasn't used to virtue signal, it was just one part of their greater wholes, which was how caring they were to each other and their friends in the cast

[@DaWhiteWolffie]

NEVER leave dad's unsupervised. lol

[@talkingwithadam812]

That second story is nutty

[@Xokoy]

With all the bending of the rules that the dad did in the last story, those rules are about as straight as a circle at this point. What matters though is that people had fun.

[@sheldonlarmond6217]

That deep bassy 'yay' from Ziggy sent me

[@DragonJohn]

All that Emotional Damage and no Stephen He meme.

[@katahdin5300]

I started playing D&D in high school in 1981 back in east Tennessee. Yeah, we had in game problems but man o man...not like today it seems. Also, l am gay and was out back then in high school and openly had a boyfriend (also a gamer). My first DM was a youth pastor and was very cool with us and ran an awesome game. I never had people mess with me for being gay or a geek gamer. I guess l was lucky. The DM in the second story sounds like a tool so yeah, find a new group. I am 57 now and still game every week with my partner. Perhaps age has made me see the 80s with rose-colored glasses...who knows. Happy gaming everyone and l LOVE the cats.

[@tsifirakiehl4250]

First story: What a lazy group of players. Here’s hoping what happened with OP was a wakeup call for them, and they engaged more with their next DM. Second story: This group doesn’t suck on EVERY conceivable level, but it certainly sucks on a lot of them. I will never understand why OP stuck around as long as she did. I sort of understand staying in a shitty game if your friends are there and you want to keep hanging out with them-though I would still recommend leaving if the game isn’t fun; your friends will understand that if they’re really your friends-but this game was just a bunch of randos OP met on Discord! She had no connection with them! It would have been so easy to just leave and write them off as a bunch of strangers she didn’t click with. At least it was a learning experience, I guess. Third story: I get that this wasn’t meant to be a serious game, but come on! A good counterargument for: “But the website lets me do it!” would be something along the lines of: “The website is made to accommodate all styles of play. The character you made might be okay in a very high-powered campaign, but it doesn’t fit the one we’re playing.” On that note, I am a little jealous of OP. I wish my little sister would let me run a game for her. I think she’d really like it, but she’s gotten it into her head that playing D&D would somehow turn her into a clone of me.

[@hikaru9624]

The amount of times I and my friends have taken the Micky out of eachother is beyond count. It takes time to learn the tells that it's just a playful joke or shenanigan, especially online. Granted most of our insults are playground level in nature, calling eachother smelly and such due to the nature of the online games we play (survival Sims ironically). You dare not make a typo in our company for we shall point it out and laugh (especially if you're a server admin).

[@crox22]

OP's dad made an Isekai protagonist.

[@gabrielmajere8852]

The bard has always been my favorite class. I've been playing since 2nd edition, I have never once played a horny bard. Silly, yes. Flamboyant, of course. Especially my kender barb. But never once a horny bard.

[@pLanetstarBerry]

I agree, bards are so much fun! We had a running gag in my old group that every now and then an NPC would try to shoot their shot with the bard (my character), who was either completely oblivious to the flirting or would get so flustered he'd run away from the task at hand. One time he accidentally flirted with a merchant, falling back on his old habits as an ex con artist, and he was so mortified when the party pointed it out that it took every ounce of his willpower not to set something on fire and run away.

[@marybdrake1472]

That second story is just so, annoying. Trying to make the bard into a stereotype for no reason, because there was no reason, and all of the forced attempts at "emotional damage" are just stupid.

[@theofficerfactory2625]

Ziggy's voice mod's setting seems quite off. Story 1: Ok; that was just weird. Story 2: Oh, this one. Yeah; this one's bad. Simba looks a lot like our Moe daddy. Story 3: This one's gonna be funny. Edit: It was. Now my question is how old is this post? Is this Ian or another one?

[@DnDDoge]

It was the most recent one

[@axelwulf6220]

The Dad was having his own fun and literally made the fantasy version of himself Such a dad thing to do I'd make a compromise to allow him the concept, but either be stupid rich or have a Dragon mount at the start, the other can be gained through role-playing

Why do people always instantly Block other players they don't like? I can understand if someone's abusive, but the first story they just sounded lazy and inconsiderate. There's no reason to contact them again, but why go so far as to block?

[@davhot4107]

Because we live in a society that are afraid of rebuttal and comming up front and debate. Like "I don't like and I will not tell you why I don't like you and Im going to close my eyes and ears like a monkey to not hear or see you".

[@pulsefel9210]

you arent the only one. the best kind of gay characters are literally the ones you never know are. a characters sexuality should only be the focus of their character when sexuality is the point of the story.

[@Thedragonlover95]

2nd story, nothing wrong with being gay. In fact they pretty much are just normal people. So this, it's just plain stupid into going there

[@luxitos2867]

Gay "jokes" = "Homosexuality HAHAHA"

[@JacobL228]

Ziggy's "yay" got me.🥰 Also, what do you mean the dad "bent" the rules? You can't just say "he's 'the dad', so it's fine"; he's a problem player. Family or not, if he's going to take your hard work and wipe his ass with it, he needs to be booted.

[@marooniballooni03759]

i think people are mixing up the old and new meaning of gay. The last story sounds very off, if it wasn't a horror story, it shouldn't have been posted in the first place.

That second story is an example of the importance of gatekeeping. Looking at her complaints, she seems like a chore, and I'm honestly surprised they didn't give her the boot with the whiny cleric's player. The problem is, they were treating her like one of the guys when they should've been treating her like an invader. The third story, the dad understood the assignment much quicker than his daughter did.
