CRAZY Girl ATTACKS DM With A SWORD IRL | r/rpghorrorstories

[@YouW00t]

In Vampire: The Masquerade, Princes have nothing to do with being a guy or a king's son. They're more like a Mafia bosses keeping other vampires in check.

[@DnDDoge]

Yeah, a few people have commented on that. Never played VtM aside from the bloodlines game years ago, so that is on me for not looking that up.

[@jasperspearl2768]

Basically yes

[@YouW00t]

@@DnDDoge In fairness, V:tM has plenty of world lingo that would confuse plenty of onlookers. For example, an embrace in any TTRPG leads to fade to black sometimes, in V:tM, it leads to an eternity as a immortal blood-thristy corpse.

I missed this comment and said the same up higher. I have to agree with what's said here. I've only played 5e VtM but if you go back at all you'll see a huge assortment of terms they utilize that have specific meanings in the World of Darkness setting. And it's not just for vampires, either.

[@paulman34340]

Yep, my cat is freaking weird and annoying with that! The weird part is, when I pull the plug from the TV and show no interest in it! He ignores the spot it's in despite loving to frequent it!....the moment I put the plug back in (One time I was off the TV and my Games for the entire year of 2021, he COMPLETELY ignored that area) all of a sudden, it's his very spot again and he just loves to get in front of the TV, then look at me like I'm stupid or something! Even when I don't TOUCH the TV he's there as long as it's plugged in! Even if you click the power, as long as it's "plugged in" you'll find him RIGHT THERE! Last time I played Fire Emblem Engage on my Switch OLED, and he was pawing at the tv whenever Alear (The protagonist of Engage) was in combat! And ONLY Alear! LOL

"That is a bit of an overreaction" is a bit of an understatement, Doge.

[@Nikodraws149]

We love a spiritual granny scolding a sword. I dunno how rule of cool it was but I think my favorite moment in any game I've played in so far so when my character broke away from the party after being the only one to pass the save against a sleep ability from an unknown enemy. Because he's kind of a one track mind "hunt it down until it dies" sort. And because he went hunting after whatever put his allies to sleep he ended up in a really silly chase scene where he bullied this creature until it got away. The creature turned out to be the final boss of that chapter. He wasn't there in the final battle because he was doing something else but it was later revealed that because of him going after the creature earlier the rest of the party got to fight a boss that already had 1/3rd of its health taken out and my character was given special bonuses to chasing down enemies that were trying to flee. Affectively making him a chaser monster. I like it a lot because even though he wasn't there at the final battle with The Monster of that chapter it still felt like he contributed. I felt bad at the time because he had just hecked off to do something else that *was* important but still felt like I was abandoning the party as one of the biggest damage dealers. But I thought it was really funny after the fact when I learned he had solo terrorized the final boss so badly it made the fight easier for everyone else later.

[@Djanck000]

Something like the first story happened at a table i played in once. The game didn't went far after the friend joined and we started another game and all was fine. Years later, the guy that joined the group (playing with us for years by that time) told me the GM invited him because they were hating our play style (very methodical and trying to do everything in an optimal and not risky way) and asked him to try to make us be "more active" and "engaged with the story instead of optimizing the formation of our characters inside the tavern". I thought it was a shame they didn't talked to us about it, cause everyone was enjoying it and we thought they were too.

[@iank472]

Try to never let a single person ruin a game for you. Unless it's the DM (without whom there isn't a game unfortunately) there's a good chance everyone else is as fed up with their nonsense as you. Talk to the rest of ths group and tell your DM either that one person goes or you all do! Worst case scenario try your hand at DMing. It seems intimidating at first but once you have run a few prewritten adventures or a campaign you will find it's not too hard and can be really rewarding.

[@couver73]

Just gonna say, I've tried the first suggestion you made after the first story, and even when I tried to post in the subreddit about it, I got so much misunderstood flak for it and I was accused of "rallying against the DM". But I wasn't. I threw out feelers to the other players, and I found out some of them had got similar pushback to me. My intention was inform the others of what's going on, and then talk to the DM about it as a group. It never happened as I was kicked from the server by the DM, being accused as a min-maxer. So yeah, not great.

Clueless rogue creeps out my players. Before I start, this was in person and I was oblivious to circumstance from my low passive perception and rogue's steath/timing. All of my players are from work/the factory including the rouge. 1st red flag is when she brought in her demon slayer katana, but we all knew the anime and thought her full cosplay was neat, but didn't fit her character. For she looked like and described a... Winged tiefling? She said she made a drow thief that, over time used abilities that no thief can use. Annoyed at what was an "experienced player" It took a lot of explaining what can't be done and what a drow and tiefling is. She didn't even have her finished character sheet, but now we get into the real horror I missed behind my DM screen and while I was in bathroom. The list agaist the the targeted Barbarian goes as follows. 1: Stealing his dice, phone & even his pocket knife, as a joke? 2: Using said knife to cut a smiley face into the note paper... On my table that had no cover. 3: Unwanted flirting and contact, mind you in front of his soon to be wife. 4: And lastly holding the katana that she been flailing all over the place to his neck, when he as Barbarian threatened to kill her character if she didn't stop. She was just as edgy in-game as well, trying to say she was a chaotic evil assassin with multi personalities. We all said no random killing, as our party had just got in good with the king and had worked really hard to get their money and be known as heroes. After the game my players called me and told me all of the worst stuff I missed that she did to the barbarian. Shocked I told everyone to block and that she will not be back. I simply told her that's she not invited, and promptly blocked her myself. Feeling horrible I caught or heard nothing. With my next session coming a day after I write this, I pray she gets the hint for the 1st time and listens. As one DM to another. Get to know who you're inviting better and especially go over thier character and make sure theyre okay with making changes in order to fit into the already existing party. I urge players to please say something to your DM if any of the players make you uncomfortable. Discreetly if needed/safer.

Todd: apologizing instead of owning up tells me he's already planning the next thing he'll do to cheat. In my opinion, if the OP refuses to kick Todd then they should have the monsters cheat every time Todd does, only their cheating should only target Todd. However they should do so in such an obvious way that everyone at the table understands that this is punishment and not a shotgun pointed at the whole party. "As you fire that +2 bow (that i don't remember you having) you hit and take down one of the warriors, but on their turn 3 goblin archers pop out of knotholes and all fire at you specifically."

VtM is a fun game if you are into games with more politics and intrigue over combat. The system makes it where its easy to either play ata table or LARP, which is why White Wolf games are so popular. But i have heard so many stories of VtM LARP going horribly wrong.

[@kyriss12]

Only time I’ve played vtm it started off as a blatant power fantasy, and gradually shifted into survival horror as the dm began to employ more and more elements from call of chulthulu, till eventually a shogoth ate the council of elders and all hell literally broke loose.

[@7thsealord888]

Story 1 - I'd quietly talk with the rest of the party first, and get their take. If in agreement, approach the DM AS A GROUP, make it very clear that you are all unhappy, WHY you are unhappy, and tell the DM to fix his mess NOW. If, at the next session, there is no real improvement, then walk - do not wait for the session to end, just go. Story 2 - You've tried to be diplomatic. If he will not improve, then I honestly question the level of his friendship. From now on, Todd needs to be publicly called out on his actions, every single time. Killing the game is just avoiding the issue - what happens if Todd wants to join another game of yours? The only other alternatives are to boot him out, or to just keep ignoring this cr#p until the entire game implodes, and it will eventually. Last story - Good calls by Player and DM. Unsure if the rules as written would have allowed this, but it was a clever idea at least worth a try. I congratulate the DM for rolling with this development as well as he did.

[@SaintSpuds4601]

Story 2: Sounds like Todd likes Magical armor that gives him advantages, let him use them No no, hear me out Each time he does, roll a D6 Evens: Minor Deity offense The effect of the advantage is reversed (example: damage is reflected to attacker? No Todd takes the damage of the reflection on top of the damage he took. Armor absorbs spell? Nope, spells do double damage) Odds: Major Deity offense Based on the advantage choose what deity would take the most offense to Todd having the advantage. Todd is struck down by the deity, revival magic cannot bring him back. Repeat until Todd gets the hint, if he complains, point out his cheating and remind him of rule 0

[@damienhailey118]

Two lessons here. **1:** Players, don't attack your DM with a sword if you don't like their ruling(use a bat instead 😝). **2:** DMs, when a player introduces a person or item that is important to their character, *do not arbitrarily destroy it*. Especially not early in the game.

[@blueperry5409]

3rd story sounds a lot like Indiana Jones and the temple of doom was the inspiration for the adventure.

[@RichBensen]

Regarding the final story, the rule of cool is fine provided that the players agree in advance that rule of cool based decisions don't count as prededents for future rulings. Otherwise the DM has to accept that they may be setting up something that could bite them in the ass later on. Personally I'd have simply ruled that a spell effect is not a creature, so the conditions for triggering the ability were not met. But I'm no fun, I guess.

[@DanaOtken]

He won't get bored with the game as long as he's getting what he wants out of it. ...This is not a good party for dealing with a serious plot and consequences. ...Okay.

[@shadiafifi54]

Sword story: "Prince" is apparently gender-neutral when it comes to V:tM city patrons, so yes, you can have male and female "Princes". But while the player's response is way out of line, I think the Storyteller (GM) might have overstepped their boundaries by blowing up the club, unless there's some context we're not being told. Glory Story: ...I probably wouldn't have done it that way, but that was absolutely a great way to handle the issue.

Story 1 I do wonder what happened in the end of that one. I would confront the DM in the game with that right in front of the other players I would do it calmly and politely but make it very clear that the whole situation is wrong and needs to stop. Then you give the other players the chance to speak up or not once the initial confrontation is already started. You'll likely be burning at least two bridges but bridges only matter when what's on the other side has value. Story 2 Seriously this dude didn't call the police?!?!? That's a literally attempted homicide! In full view of multiple witnesses! That girl belongs in prison. And the takeaway is that edged weapons should be checked at the door? He he he he attempted murder but because girl it's totes cool then.

Not a problem normaly in OP's group has alot of anxiety sufferers (somsthing i understand as i am on the spectrum and played with a guy in our group that suffered an anxiety attack while learning to play Age of Sigmar but seems to be in his element in D&D.) Table Top RPGs are a great way to deal with these hickups as you can put a barrier between you and the rest of the players with a little toy soldier before you. Doubly so with a computer screen. However one has to learn when to speak up and say this is ruining the fun, and the other has to be able to take such critisism. They don't have to be harsh but its a two way street. OP needs to say something to the DM, and then the DM needs gentle corecttion to his Leeroy Jenkins friend. 2nd: yep, this is problematic. If he wanted he could have asked if he could do the alternative get X gold to by that amount of gear. However , these seems to be a problem player that seems to want to be a Kirito. 3rd: wow, a party of murder hoboes (sans Barbarian...and the DM says they are fighting mind controled children and they want to seduce and or murder children? I know more of these horror stories involve a creepy guy making the gals uncomfortable, but lets face it i find when its the chick being the creeper i am more disturbed because they know how they fet treated. 4th.

My other videos i watched so far have only had a single ad at the start, which is perfectly acceptable. This, on top of being forced to watch it because my ad block is being blocked, is just down right abusive. Oh, and I play a lot of my games with a cat silhouette as well.
