Player DEMANDS Control And CREEPY Relationship | DnD Horror Story

[@l0stndamned]

On one occasion I came up with a bunch of convoluted backstory that let to a potentially world-ending plot just so I could have a fungus-creature say "Thank you, but your castle is in another princess". If the problem-player's issues were legit, then rpgs are not suitable for her, but I suspect that said problems were just an excuse to be demanding. Her character and relationship ideas seem to combine all the worst clichés of slash-fic writers.

[@AmaryInkawult]

No, no no no. Anyone that CLAIMS they have anxiety over the unknown do not need to be playing a game where wether your character lives or dies is in the hands of CHANCE. The best thing for their nerves, if they're telling the truth that is, is to not include them in these campaigns where chance, multiple people's personalities clash, and the fucking unknown rule. The ones that are LYING about this anxiety, they NEED to be booted. These aren't sufferers, they are narcissistic abusers who want to control other people and WILL use this excuse to socially ostracize you should you not give into their demands. You cannot win with a narc, don't even try. The best thing to do is NEVER engage with these people even if they scream in your ear.

[@AmaryInkawult]

And if they insist on screaming in your ear and the tenitis or however you spell it annoys you, knock their teeth out. Narcs need humbling.

[@MyLittlePonyTheater]

At the risk of sounding politically incorrect, a player who has a panic attack every time something unexpected happens joining a standard group D&D campaign is like a quadriplegic person applying to play ice hockey. We understand you love the game, but it's clearly not for you! We don't have to bend over backwards and ruin the game for everyone else to accommodate these players.

[@ThatWTVGuy]

The subject of this story is the definition of a crybully

[@RandomTrinidadian]

I was getting strong Chris-chan vibes from Warlock

[@AuntLoopy123]

crybully. Good call. My late sister and my living sister both had to deal with a... I'm not even sure how to describe her. An "I'm so nice, why are you angry?" bully? They were all patients at the same dialysis clinic. Keep this in mind. Hemodialysis. All three of them (and all the others there) were kidney patients in end-stage kidney failure, just staving off death with hemodialysis and a CAREFUL diet. Hemodialysis diet is NOT a "healthy diet," by standard terms. For example, if anything is good for you, it's bad for you. All those healthy legumes? NOOOO! Beans? NOOOOO! Half the fruits and vegetables? NOOOOO! Whole grains? NOOOOOO! They had to keep their phosphorous and potassium levels low, in particular. Chocolate and nuts are no-nos. Bananas are no-nos. Dried fruit are no-nos. Did I mention beans? Dried beans are even more no-no. So, then there was... Let's call her Carol. Carol was not a Karen. She didn't go putting other people down, or stuff like that. But she DID make demands. Here are a bunch of people having their blood sucked out of them, run through a filter and pumped back in. It is LITERALLY draining. Most people just want to try to sleep through it. But CAROL DEMANDED that the other people there be SOCIAL. HAPPILY social. She declared herself to be the "Morale officer," or some such, and decided that she was IN CHARGE of making all the patients HAPPY! So, she and her long-suffering husband arranged meet-ups, and paid for treats, like chocolate for everyone, bags of nuts for everyone, size large T-shirts for all these hemo-dialysis people who are PUFFY and LETHARGIC, because of the kidney disease, and very few are smaller than XL, and most are XXL or up. Several are XXXXXL. BECAUSE of the kidney disease. And she's giving them stuff to make it worse. It's one thing to sabotage yourself, but she was sabotaging the entire unit of patients! She demanded that the lights, which are usually dimmed, because patients want/need to sleep, be turned up BRIGHT, so that "EVERYONE will be awake and ENERGIZED by the bright light! We can play games and have a great time." Play games while being literally tied to your chair, with six to ten feet between each station? And you can only use one arm, because the other one is BOUND and FULL OF NEEDLES AND TUBES, and you have to keep it straight, or else you'll blow out the vein and start spurting blood all over the place? Yeah. She wants to organize GAMES. OK, car games work. I Spy, and "I say a word and you follow with a word that starts with the same letter as the last letter of my word, and see how long we can make the chain," is good in a car, with willing participants. Maybe even forcing the children to participate, because otherwise they will drive the driver insane. But these are ADULTS. Many of them are OLD. And they are mostly tired, and ALL SICK. And they don't WANT to be given the temptation of a bag full of delicious Phosphorous and Potassium that will make them need EXTRA dialysis, or maybe just outright kill them. But, if you don't accept with an enthusiastic "THANK YOU, Carol! You're a real peach!" (only good for you if canned, because the process leaches out the P&P, btw), then she would get all butt-hurt and feel unappreciated. So, she was just "SO SWEET" and "SO HELPFUL," and lots of people were glad when she finally died, because they didn't have to DEAL with her, anymore. It's really sad, to tell you the truth. Nobody should feel happy about a patient dying, especially if they are patients, too, but dang. Most happy, perky, cheerful, helpful, generous people are missed when they are gone. But she wasn't. Her death was met with sighs of relief, because now they don't have to deal with "Oh, I hope she doesn't give me chocolate covered peanuts, and expect to watch as I eat them, and for me to THANK HER for giving me little death pills, which SHE KNOWS are little death pills, and they are for her, TOO, but she's 'just trying to be helpful and brighten everyone's mood! You'll live longer, if you keep your chin up!' and it's crazy-making, because if you turn down her gifts, or don't get all enthusiastic, or don't want to chat with her, or play with her, or just want to sleep, then she will take it as a personal affront, and 'You're so mean! I'm just trying to HELP YOU,' and then she'll cry, and WE will be the bad guys! I am just so glad I don't have to deal with that, anymore." What do you call that? A smilebully? A giftbully? It was like she was aggressively "helpful" and cheerful, and everyone else HAD to be cheerful, too, or else they were "mean" to her, just because sick people were SICK and TIRED, and just need to REST, because they FEEL ROTTEN. It's just so sad. But honestly, I'd much rather have a crybully. You can TELL them to "just grow up," but with this cheer-bully, you just 1) can't get through, and 2) seem like a bully, yourself, when you try.

[@ThatWTVGuy]

[@Changeling]

And this is why when you run a TTRPG game you have to be comfortable with saying the word NO. "No, you may not insert anything that does not fit the world...including deadly plagues." I get OP wanting to compromise, but the moment it was rejected the offer should have been pulled from the table with a firm, "then no, you may not have this in your backstory." The DM is the one creating the world, sometimes they work with players to make elements...but that does not mean the player gets permission to use them as a doormat in return and take over. Good on OP for ultimately holding their ground, but yikes. And Holy Hypocrisy Batman! The problem player doesn't handle "dramatic, dark things well" with _that_ gem of a backstory with the creeptastic mentor NPC? Then wants all these other special things all because she's mentally disabled, likes to use it as a crutch to get her way, and is used to her friends enabling that bad behavior instead of trying to help her, ya know, not be a selfish, entitled brat? I game primarily with people that are Neurdivergent, I also fall into this category, so...what's her excuse exactly cause from where I'm sitting she ain't got one. Being accommodating is one thing, but this is not that...this is using a disability for special treatment. ...OMG _how_ does the problem player lack sooo much self-awareness that they have no comprehension of what they wrote and can't figure out why OP cast that NPC as a villain? OP lost nothing by losing that dead weight of a group. And the problem player needs to stop playing altogether cause... Ewwww.

She could have been an adult and purposefully did those crying fits whenever it seemed convenient to her.

Dude, Simba looks like he ate one too many brownies.

[@lazychickqueen4734]

Just gonna say I almost always try to find a love interest in the games I play too. But I don't EXPECT the DM to make someone specifically catered to me, I just test the waters and see if my character clicks with an NPC. If they do then I just continue on down that path. If not, then I move along. Personally I think the best way to find good love interests for you if that's your thing is to keep an open mind with who you come across along the way and not expect someone to be dropped in your lap. Truly, only you know what's perfect for you. Also if you want to have a romance with another PC, please don't pressure the other player into it. Communication and the willingness to let go if it's not something they're into is SO IMPORTANT. Be considerate at the table. ❤

[@lordgenerias]

Rickrolling in a campaign sounds delightfully evil.

[@ShyBiiteVT]

Yeah, that anxiety over not knowing what will happen next is obviously a complete lie. Otherwise, she'd be having a panic attack every time she watches a new tv show or movie, or reads a new book. I honestly hope that everyone else in that friend group eventually realized how toxic she was and kicked her to the curb.

[@solarchos4352]

9:10 - No, being a Highly Sensitive Person is NOT a mental health issue. It's a Bad Habit issue stemming from a lack of self-control and self-awareness. Given everything else Wizard did in that story, it sounds more like she has Borderline Personality Disorder, or perhaps Histrionic Personality Disorder. Either way, she needed to be a LOT more honest and not obfuscate her personal problems. If you have mental issues, that's fine. What's NOT fine is disguising and downplaying them and in doing so causing problems for other people since they don't know what they're dealing with. The fact that she kept using HSP as an excuse means she was using it to exploit everyone else at the table. That's not mental illness; that's just being malicious.

[@jrytacct]

If she's this delicate a flower, then TTRPGs are not the hobby for her. Tell her to go home and listen to some soft jazz or something.

[@vegetin01]

HSP is not recognized in the DSM. The closest would be histrionic personality disorder, which is entirely believable based on the self diagnosed “mental health” problem and actions during the story.

[@meepmeep749]

I have problems with certain things happening sometimes in our campaign. It's an anxiety thing but I've never requested to know the full story or write my own stuff. I told my dm whats not on the table, and we come up with story beats for my character together and she adds her own twists to it.

[@lagggoat7170]

Yeah its good to control for triggers etc. My DM did it by using a website questionaire were we could anonomously rate our levels of gore, sex etc tolerance and add stuff definitely not to include ourselves and I think this idea was amazing. Everyone has stuff they cant (or dont want to) see in a campaign so its good to get a basic comfort level beforehand. Im judging that problem player hard though. Its one thing to have mental health issues/be neurodivergent and ask for people to be acommodating, its another to use your diagnosis as a shield to bludgeon people into submission with. (And Im saying this as a neurodivergent person myself)

[@rennyforyourthoughts8023]

Do you remember the website by chance?

[@ECJD426663]

Highly sensitive person… more like Highly suspect person. That girl seemed like she has a lot of unresolved issues that she is bringing to a game that is basically everything that she’ll stand against just to have her “role play safe space.” And the fact that she was hardcore shipping a young boy with an older man had to be a big indicator to just say “NO” to the entirety of that campaign.

[@AuntLoopy123]

As a DM, if a player asks me for a love interest (and this is hypothetical, because my game group is my family, and I am NOT doing love interests for my siblings), I would respond, "Well, that would be very nice, if it happens. I'll do my best to make my NPCs interesting and unique, and if you should flirt with them, some of them will flirt back, IF it fits their character, and if the two of you hit it off, that's great! You know, just like in real life!" In short, I will NOT create an NPC specifically to serve as a love interest for a particular PC. But, I would be (not with my family, but with a different group) open to creating a diverse cast of fleshed-out NPCs, and hopefully, one of them will strike a PC's fancy. If the PC is lonely, and doesn't meet anyone that strikes their fancy, then they are free to "join a lonely hearts club" and "write a personal ad" or whatever works for the world, and thus give me some hints as to the kind of NPC they want, and maybe I'll add a few of the characteristics they desire to some NPCs, but I will not tailor-make a NPC to fit the bill, exactly, because NOBODY IS PERFECT, and in real life, you have to go for someone who is close, but still has some imperfections, or flaws, or simply does not have every single thing on your list. And so, you have to decide what means the most to you, and what does not. That said, if you ask for a love interest AT CHARACTER CREATION, I would be willing to create a partner for you. For example, you're creating a married PC? Sure, I'll create a spouse of your choice (or you can create the spouse of your choice) and I'll role-play that spouse. Or, maybe, you have a crush on a particular person AT CHARACTER CREATION, and I will create that person to float in and out of your area (or be stable, while you move around), so you can have the occasional interaction with them. But I will never run an ERP game, and if that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere. Also, if you want an ERP game, I think you need to get EVERYONE on the same page, as in "This is an ERP game. Everyone gets a love interest, and X% of each session will be dedicated to erotic stuff," and everyone agrees, or finds a different game. That's the great thing about role-playing games: You CAN find a game that gives you all the stuff you want. Sometimes, you just have to put in the work to create it, yourself. And sometimes, you have to say, "This group is not for me, and doesn't give me what I want, so I'll take my d20 elsewhere," but you can DO it.

[@alsenddrake7764]

I had one. Basically, I'd made a deal with the DM to run another character temporarily for a major event, and then we would get mine, with me rotating characters as we went to where I was. One of the characters was a Warlock with the Many Faces trait. We had a Kobold. Cue her entering as a half-dragon, art I made included, only to once the Kobold ran over and was gushing, for her to go poof, I flip to the next page, and reveal she is a Kitsune.

Ok soo a flaw of mine is naming npc's I usually pull names from thin air alot of the time which has resulted in some interesting situations like how there's a vigilante/terrorist cell led by a man with the same name as the dad from family matters just spelled different. At one point my players working with police captured and interrogated a bomber from said group. She demands her lawyer not wanting to give up and advantage they ask his name so they can try calling and getting info on her real identity. I leaned into my flaw and chose to make it the law offices of Mark Dice and Harry Styles. They assumed this another of my naming fails. And it's not until the guy who answers yells we've got some marked dice and hangs up abruptly do they realize they just called her boss and gave him the coded message that she was in police custody and they needed to go into hiding. Not the funniest trick but damn did it make them start reading deeper into my naming conventions. 🤣

It's weird but I relate to the highly sensitive thing and it caused me similar problems in DnD. I never had any crazy external reactions like she did or even bothered the other players about it but I felt intense anxiety when the story would get dark and I had trouble playing out negative interactions in roleplay. I'd often feel like when you don't eat for a while and get shaky/weak. Big reason I decided it wasn't for me unfortunately. Might just be a side effect of my anxiety/panic disorder. I still enjoy listening to DnD, reading about it, and hearing stories of course!

So I watched this before the previous story about Yaoi Fangirl as I call her. And yes, I do believe she was a yaoi fangirl of the 00’s, where mlm pairings were called seme/uke and had a lot of power imbalance and straight up pedophilia in stuff like Loveless. I am off the opinion that you can have problematic favs… but you don’t force non consenting parties to partake in your kink-and that folks under 18 are automatically nonconsenting and therefore should not be fetishized on. Yaoi fangirl forced the DM to be an active participant in her shotacon fantasy, and that is VERY NOT OK.

Don’t make Kooh library cover this. Probably jinxed my self.

[@varietywiarrior]

This is why the "x cards" nonsense is bullshit. If you can't handle the dm telling you no, you shouldn't be playing the game.

[@CRONNOS95]

so that fighter is probably loosely based on guts. no not based, inspired actually.

[@tenchraven]

Creepy should never be at a gaming table. The TikTok generation shouldn't be apologized to, they're spoiled and manipulative, and I'd bet real world money that her "HSP" was self diagnosed, not in the DSM, and thus bullshit. On the very off chance where it's real, this is not the hobby for her. Rule 1, don't be a perv or a creep. Rule 2, don't push your agenda. Rule 3, the table is not free therapy, not even for the GM. She broke all three of the rules that as a GM will lead to me telling you to leave. That she came as a "package deal" with the other players would have probably ended friendships for me.

The storys are just that and shows how good he is at makeing storys up as a DM

[@DetectiveThursday]

And this is why you gatekeep the hell out of woke crybullies. This needs to happen so early, it’s not just a session 0 requirement, you need to make it session -1.

I Pity The Player of the Warlock from the First Story. She Seemann like she is going throug a lot of emotional problems, but it‘s Not OPs Problem to Deal with that.

[@teeram100]

SO ?

[@Gray_ninja]

If we forget entire manipulation thing there is nothing wrong with it

[@demonic_myst4503]

Their is a million things wrong with her and what she did

[@Gray_ninja]

@@demonic_myst4503 "i want my in-game character to have a weird pedo relationship with older guy" Why is it wrong. That's not even real

[@ArcCaravan]

​@@Gray_ninjaIt's forcing it on the DM and party.

[@Gray_ninja]

@@ArcCaravan Skill issue on DMs part

[@ArcCaravan]

@@Gray_ninja More like the player couldn't play by someone else's standards.

[@nathankey5246]

🤢 lots of ick. Way too much ick.

[@monsieurkain218]

I wonder how you can spot a trans person instantly

[@gr_pillar]

Medival scenery? People had children with 15 then. Don't put your own values in DnD scenery. Unless you play in a copy of modern world.

[@ArcCaravan]

Fantasy isn't bound by outdated values.

[@xzenitramx666]

That player sure watches a lot of anime. But all anime Watchers are a bunch of creeps.

[@ronturner3598]

The voice for Goober and calling a woman a b is really of character for your channel for it's crassness and sucked imho. I hope this isn't a new feature.
