DnD Player FAPS To DM's Voice During Game | r/rpghorrorstories

[@alarkhar]

About the Nosferatu story... it's pretty obvious that the Storyteller (GM, for the non-White Wolf players) was planning on making OP's life hell. For those who don't know, the Nosferatu are a cursed clan - not on the same level as Gargoyles, but still cursed. A Nosferatu is UGLY with a capital ugh, and can't shapeshift in any way (even a Mage's powers, otherwise literally able to rewrite reality, don't work on a Nosferatu's looks) and his face literally sends people screaming in panic. Seriously, they're borderline terrifying, so much that in the Vampire videogame (yes, it exists) they're forced to feed on RATS or sneak on their victims, because they can't approach anyone without causing mass hysteria. Suffice to say, their social life outside of the Vampire courts is a disaster, and even within the courts it's pretty much "court jester" level. So, when OP actually showed enthusiasm at the idea of playing a Nosferatu he pulled the plug - it's not fun to mess with someone who doesn't suffer because of it. Yes, I had to deal with this kind of GMs more than once, and I think it shows.

[@byronsmothers8064]

Sounds like OP's time playing would be either staying sideline to avoid panic, or getting punished for trying to do anything. Which is to say: they'd be there for 2 sessions at best, and kicked for either being a problem or uninvolved.

[@jamestown8398]

"Suffice to say, their social life outside of the Vampire courts is a disaster" If there's a Nosferatu Warren in the city, then that will usually be the main source of support and connections for the vampire. One benefit of this clan is that its members stick together with a strong cohesion.

[@unluckyone1655]

Yeah I got the feeling that OP was going to be a patsy that gets picked on by ST and the rest of the group to either scare OP from gaming for good (classic gatekeeper behavior) along with being sidelined then booted. I hope OP finds a group that welcome them at some point

[@fylimar]

While I agree that playing Nosferatu is harder, you do have Obfuscate and with that Mask of a Thousand Faces for example. We had a a Vampire group with two Nosferatu and the player always had stuff to do. (Btw the Nosferatu npcs in Bloodlines are the best, especially Gary Golden).

The halfling pulls the ring from the hearth and notices runes now glowing upon it. "There is some sort of inscription, but my vision isn't as good as it used to be so I can not read it." The wizard pulls out his magnifying glass and inspects the ring, noting a miniscule wall of text. "The font is that of Micro Machines, and I shall not repeat in it's entirety here. In summary, it says that you take damage and it's now the ranger's turn, git gud."

People really need to relearn the concept of shame. Like with that Dungeon Master voice story, if that guy just kept to himself and didn't proudly declare how he was polishing his flagpole to the DM's voice, people wouldn't think he's an absolute creep. I'm not saying we should shame everything, but just a little bit of shame wouldn't hurt, right?

As much as I feel that nobody has the right to tell anybody how to live, I think we do need to re-introduce some idea of shame over certain sexual things as a society. We’ve gone too far in the other direction.

We should not be living in a society where that creep felt very comfortable, telling the dungeon master what he was doing in hopes that maybe she would become attracted to him? Unfortunately, the Internet has taught me things about sexual deviance that I didn’t really want to learn. And as much as I would rather people just be allowed to live and let live, unfortunately people can’t be trusted with that all the time.

[@destroyerinazuma96]

Here's a less horrible but odd story I've heard. A GM was running a game with a female cyclops NPC and a player was acting weird. GM peeked under the table and succeeded on the Wis save to keep a poker face. Player later spoke to them in private and deeply apologized for letting his fetish get the better of him. Player still stayed in the group since the incident never occurred again and apart from the incident the player was an okay guy.

As for the bag guy. I think the DM should have talked to it and try to see where he wanted to take the bag think. The thing about roleplay. Sometimes you just got to make sure everyone is on the same page.

[@phillee427]

Put that last story. I had a similar situation where a player tried to tell me what I should be doing my game, and I cut them loose right then and there. And as far as the no reaction GM story. Why did OP say they handled the situation immaturely? After all, when they messaged him with their concerns, and he ignored them. They could have just gotten rid of him at that moment. So by giving him a taste of his own medicine, he was giving opportunity to sit back, reflect and say. Oh, that's what I was doing to you guys.

[@nobodybroda3826]

Yes but it's also not your place to be putting other people in their place You're not that important just let him go let him reflect on it later if they come back being like apologetic or some shit then maybe give him a chance but it's just douchey to enact things in game instead of just being adults.

[@threadscore]

Ah, the Micro Machines Guy. I loved those commercials back in the day. And, oh boy, the "It's too complicated for you" argument. I'm in a pf2e campaign full of noobs where I play and alchemist with an oracle as my backup. On of our martials is a thaumaturge. And then there's the gunslinger. Our two most straightforward characters are the fighter and sorcerer. It's been fun so far.

[@shiningkingghidora]

He was also the voice of Blurr

[@StellaDraco]

The first GM sounds like he was just a jerk. I wouldn't say "Nosferatu only" is really a red flag. Nos in particular have some very specific factors that I would say make it justifiable to restrict players to only Nosferatu for certain games. To be fair, I have only played VtR, not VtM (2nd edition versus 1st edition) so Nos in VtM may have been different, but in VtR Nos are almost always disfigured and take social penalties, so it's more difficult for them to interact with people especially any humans. They also sometimes have underground secret cities where usually only Nos are allowed, so I could see it being very reasonable to restrict the PCs to only playing Nosferatu if the GM wants to run a game set entirely in a necropolis, for instance.

[@alarkhar]

In Masquerade it was the same - a Nosferatu at his best looked like someone who survived a thirty car pileup... barely. And then ended in a tiger cage face first. And then at the hospital they used sulfuric acid rather than antiseptic. Mechanically speaking, while other characters had looks from one dot upwards a Nosferatu had... MINUS ONE. Yes, they had negative one die.

[@keybladewizard49]

The problem is that he was upset at the player revealing their clan - which means it wasn't a Nos-only game.

[@LynxieDove]

Talking to his bag guy, it's kind of an interesting quirk...it worked with Folly in Aeronaut's WIndlass who talked to a jar of crystals, but the guy from this story....it doesn't sound like he really thought it out.

[@Psycopathicus]

The 'talk to the bag' concept COULD have worked, I think, if the guy had played it like Gollum - in other words, like he was talking, apparently to himself by a different name, about what was going on, not just about something irrelevant. Like, the players approach and he's like 'why look, Mr. Pixie-Face! It's a party of adventurers, yes it is! Do they know the way to town, I wonder? Shall I tell them, Mr. Pixie-Face; what do you think?' That would have given them an opening to say something like 'yes we do know the way', or 'no we don't', or whatever, and it could have gone from there. But, 20-20 hindsight, I guess.

[@RayneGrimm1]

[@sandpiperr]

This once kind of happened to me in real life. This guy on the bus kept talking into his backpack, which he was wearing on his chest instead of his back. For a moment I wondered if he was crazy or high, but the way he was speaking was like how someone talks to their pet so I wondered if he had a cat or something in the backpack. It turned out to be a white rat! He took it out and let it sit on his shoulder the rest of the ride. The whole way I was glancing around wondering if anyone else was seeing this!

[@sharkjumpingwalrus6744]

The guy who pulls the too slow crap pisses me off. Granted, I would simply pretend that the damage didn't happen, and if he wants the damage to start counting, he has talk at normal human speed. If a D.M. can't speak like a normal person for any reason that is very clearly not a disability or other form of speech impediment, I will treat that D.M. like the child they are. And if they try to insult me by talking sloth slow, I will give them the perfect way to understand what speed they should speak at by flipping them off so long as they are talking too slow or too fast. Definitely not a good solution, since walking out will save you any further pain, assuming the D.M. is simply being petty.

[@shadiafifi54]

The only other possible response would have been to just drop the game entirely, but I doubt Mr. Micromachines would have gotten the hint. Then again, I'm guessing he was doing this on purpose and just didn't want PC reaction mechanics to mess with his precious campaign - though note how he was perfectly willing to allow encounters to use reactions.

Accusation Story. This sounds more like a misunderstanding than some one out to get OP. OP said that no one seemed surprised, upset, or shocked they were back. More than likely this was not a regular who complained and mistook whoever was DM'ing in the store that night for OP, who was not there. This has happened to me a few times before so I can see it happening here as well.

[@Random_Chiroptera]

Not good at chatty character intro? I suggest tailing the party without their knowledge, rather than acting like an insane vagabond, and expecting DM to fix it. Yes, this works. I played a mute (see: neck wound) Poisondusk Lizardfolk Ranger, carefully rebalanced for 5e, that spent the first two sessions tailing the party with really good stealth and occasional ranged firesupport. They did pick up on someone was helping them, but being really sneaky about it. Eventually i got caught. All part of my plan though. Barbarian wants to interrogate me, but Cleric notices the pretty gnarly throat scar, and points out its pointless, I can't speak. Distinctive fletching on my arrows gives me away though, so I'm in the party. Barb has trust issues until my prowess as a hunter is realized. Party has meat options in every meal then.

I might be projecting too much of myself into that story, but I feel like the player might have been autistic and just really nervous about interacting with other people.

React Quickly Story. I understand that some players do take far too long in combat to make up their minds on what to do. But this was just a blatant attempt to Nerf characters by the DM. If you are a DM and want or need to make combat move a little faster there are other ways. A simple way is to get a few of those 1 or 2 minute hourglasses or timers. At the start of a player's turn they turn over or start their timer (hourglass) and they have that long to say what they are doing or loose their turn. This method helps encourage players that they are on the clock and to have some kind of a plan already whenever possible.
