Worlds MOST AWKWARD horny Bard | r/rpghorrorstories

[@1kokokala10]

Holy shit that horny bard story went from 100 to 1000. Every single action is now soooooo much worse.

[@johngleeman8347]

Strahd allowed himself to be defeated by the Johnny Cage maneuver because the masters of Domains of Dread are very, very bored, and a Three Stooges defeat is one he probably hasn't faced in centuries. XD

[@amitamaru]

I almost wish the last DM used the legendary resistance, if only for the Castlevania reference. "Please, this isn't a bar fight. Have some class."

[@ShitpostingJoJo]

💀 I shiver in horror at the bard story, mostly because YOU'D THINK *_YOUR OWN MOTHER_* WOULD KNOW BETTER than to flirt with a character that is basically being puppeteered by HER OWN SON!! 💀💀💀 And to be so thirsty about it, JESUS. I would NOT be able to look her in the eye again after that. Let alone run a second campaign for them 🤦🏻💀

[@steveholmes11]

Sweet Home Alabama. Takes a whole new meaning.

[@Zamerus]

Yeah it sounds like the whole family are just dumb horny people except for OP. I feel bad because I even knew both meanings of mount and I still didn't think that was the raunchy one for the intended meaning

[@REfan2002]

The second story, mother was the bard.....oh god. Why would she do that!

[@AdiG1]

She could have just been _desperately_ starved of all romantic affection. It doesn't excuse the fact that she tried to vent it all out as a bard in her child's D&D game.

Story 1: Terrible DM. DM license revoked. Story 2: WTH is wrong with OP's family?!?!?! Story 3: Did the monk punch or kick strahd?

[@darklord884]

Also, about the Strahd nutshot, am I the only one recalling a time Alucard in the Castlevania series just casually tanked a kick to the nards and was all like "Please, this isn't a barfight. Have some class!" like it didn't even tickle?

If I had nickel for every time I heard an rpg story about a mother hitting on her son, I'd have two nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

"Step bro what are you doing" minus the step is essentially the family story.

[@PrideOfFantasy100]

After all these stories and how prevalent dnd horror stories are now, I feel any threat of sexual violence should automatically be a massive crimson flag of war for anyone.

[@ShitpostingJoJo]

Not even a red flag anymore. Thats a straight up Black Flag 💀 with crossed bones, a skull, blood splattered all over it and everything. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@crispylizard4348]

I don't even play but every story like that has me screaming inside why the fuck would you think a person like thats going to be a good player.

[@cvernon5256]

Regarding that family campaign, I can understand just how Disturbed the DM would feel having their mother behave that way in front of their father and towards a character that you know they are role playing as. I'm just going to believe them in saying that their family is not normal

[@kikiblair5132]

I think that DM in the bard story should really be cautious about their mom from now on.

[@7thsealord888]

Story 1 - The basic truth is that Real Life WILL sometimes intrude on the game, no matter what others may prefer. This DM was way out of line with the exhaustion point thing. The barbarian was definitely a That Guy, and there is no excuse for how the DM fiddled with the Deck. Story 2 - Ohhhhhkaaayyyyyy. Maybe not the weirdest thing ever, but arguably the weirdest thing I've heard this week. I feel for the DM, and hope he can get proper therapy after that experience. Story 3 - Actually, I love it. I might have been a bit tougher with the parameters for 'Low Blow'. But I also think the DM did right by letting the result stand instead of ruling against it, because the outcome was just too good. :)

[@septixskeptix1107]

So we have a gaming group of 5 that meet every Saturday to play. Of the 5 of us, 3 of us alternate DM'ing. One of the guys when DM'ing decided to play out a scene where a hag sexually assaulted a player. He thought it was hilarious. The majority of us felt it was unnecessary. Then, one of his NPC's decided that it should be a group activity. It was the most awkward and eye rolling DND session I've ever played. I was hesitant to finish that campaign.

[@unluckyone1655]

Story 1; well at least OP eventually saw the shit forest for the trees and bounced. Story 2; you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family (seriously i feel so bad for OP) Glory story; I'd say that that is the least Strahd deserves lol

[@MWH12085]

Punching Strahd soo hard in the nuts it destroys him....as DM, I wouldn't care, I would allow that.

[@freeloader9000]

If the book series "Sin and Soil" became a D&D campaign, I know for sure Bard Mom would be all over that.

[@iank472]

As someone currently running a modified Curse of Strahd campaign I can only hope it ends as incredibly as that last story!

[@davidtherwhanger6795]

I hear you. That was quite possibly the most epic ending I have ever heard for CoS.

[@0culimortis]

For Story 1 I don't know if anyone else could, but did anyone else hear the sound of Freud rolling in his grave to the beat of 'Sweet Home Alabama'?

[@foisopracurtir6389]

I agree with the title of the glory story, Johnny Cage would have been proud of that Monk

[@SNDurgon]

[@DM_it_All]

All cards from a deck of many things return to the pile with the exception of fool and jester.

[@NemoThundersong]

Some cards in fact do not disappear after they are drawn. We learned this when I drew 8 times from the deck and got the sun twice. How ever if they were drawing at the same time it should not have been possible too get the same card.

[@itsyaboiChubbs]

You know, if I had a nickel for every time I heard about a vampire getting hit in the nuts, I would have three nickels, which isn't alot but weird that it happened thrice

[@jfangm]

On the last story: Sometimes mechanics and rules need to take a backseat to fun. In my friend's homebrew DnD campaign, I once shouted "run kitty, run" at his stepson's moronic Tabaxi Fighter, who was doing something dumb (again), despite it being far enough away that he barely heard it. Everyone had a laugh and it stuck out as a high point in what became a doomed campaign.

[@JacobL228]

Well, that guy's parents are either headed for a divorce, or there's something seriously wrong with both of them. I hope he doesn't end up needing therapy after all this.

[@ArcmageZaln]

the honry bard... just... why!? It's your SON! If nothing else do the horny to your husband... why try to do it to the NPC? if I was not already sick, I would be now.

[@KatarnandKanos]

Both characters could have drawn skull, only certain cards are gone from the deck after drawing: Once a card is drawn, it fades from existence. Unless the card is the Fool or the Jester, the card reappears in the deck, making it possible to draw the same card twice.

[@RWAsur]

Props to the DM of the horny bard story, of all of these D&D stories Doge reads, this is the one that got the best reaction out of me and I think it was because of how well they concealed the plot twist of the bard player being their mom until the end. There may be more 'awful' stories to react viscerally to, but this one was the one that was the best told imo.

[@marybdrake1472]

I would have just left at the permeant exhaustion with no secondary outcome. If a DM is will to go that far over something that is unavoidable at times shows that they are not a good DM.

[@SamWeltzin]

That last story is hilarious.

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

lol harming a kid is the best way to get a hit on you from the street community in one of my cities. they will turn on the murderhobo and set a violent end on them.

[@pulsefel9210]

he gave so many restrictions to the ability you KNEW it was meant for that and that alone

[@RequiemWraith]

The deck of many things have two variants. The first is, as you correctly say, the card disappears upon being drawn, so the deck eventually exhausts. The second is that once a card is drawn and the effect happens, the card returns to the deck, and so the deck exists in perpetuity

[@mikarimex1055]

This story went for 100 to 1000 with the family twist

[@raymondharnack4160]

“Mount?” Nope…. That actually sounds like a very normal DnD party,

[@RWAsur]

Sure, if that D&D party wasn't also your family. I have some family members who would find that a funny joke, and some who wouldn't, but probably not the entire family and both parents sexualizing something with their child. Yeesh

[@gyrozeppeli3493]

GOD DAMN! That is the craziest plot twist

[@jacksparrowismydaddy]

**really hopes this isn't a story about me** awkward is kinda my thing... I'd say 50/50 chance edit: oh thank god

[@GreatestRedPanda]

The reveal of the mother was priceless. But I have To admit I got caught on the looting chests part. What is it with DMs and the antagony towards detect magic and using it properly? If a player uses detect magic, they can see all Items in the area that are magical. They could not possibly have missed that the ruby was a magic item unless the DM deliberately chose to hide information the spell would reveal. It's like DMs have an aversion to the spell and once cast they will do everything in their power to avoid providing the basic information the spell is supposed to reveal. At least that has been my experience with it atleast

[@rootfish2671]

If my mom did that to me in a game I would just start screaming until I die

[@PhilS0341]

Strahd campaign at the end: Be a dick. It's canon. Crushing your players' hopes and dreams is what CoS is all about. Let them laugh and ham it up for a bit. Then end them. If that monk had used that ability before, Strahd would know about it, use his legendary resistance, roleplay being affected by it, and when the players were busy laughing, have Strahd grab the monk and chuck him out a window of Castle Ravenloft.

[@ClipperHorizon]

If your players legitimately get that one-in-a-million lucky shot on the BBEG - I cannot stress this enough - LET THEM HAVE IT. So what if the campaign ends on a note of hilarious anti-climax? So what if you don't get to use half the BBEG's special skills? They won't remember any of that in a month. But they will remember for YEARS the glorious moment when they defeated Strahd with a nut-shot. They will tell and retell the story with joy in their whole being and while you may sigh over your wrecked boss fight, remember that THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN. Now, I'm not saying you need to let your players walk all over you or get away with all the silly hijinks they try, but when the dice gods smile and that last ditch nat 20 or hilarious nat 1 hits the table, GO WITH IT. Because those are the moments you will all remember and look back fondly on for years to come. Let them enjoy their crits!

[@SinnerChrono]

Nope, permanent debuffs that persist through new characters for as long as you play at his table. Even changed that level of malicious AH would have ended the game for me. What would happen if you missed more games? Your character is just perma dead and you never play again but are still expected at the table. Your first instinct was right, run.

These OPs are like chronically addicted to not defending themselves. Permanent exhaustion points for having a life? No. Giving you the wrong card in the Deck of Many Things? No. People need to learn the words "go fuck yourself." And did OP of story 1 even say anything at all? It doesn't seem like they actually did.

[@ganmerlad]

If having an 'evil' character means the player has a license to try to freak/disgust/trigger everyone else by being as sexually/emotionally/physically depraved and abusive as possible -- I would refuse to play with evil characters. I'm not ok with that. I play a lot of violent video games (I'm replaying Fallout New Vegas right now), but none of them go into details about r**es or torture sessions. I'd be pissed having to listen to some sociopath regale us with their sick fantasies IRL because "it's what my character would do". That kind of twisted 'role play' should always be automatically disallowed unless the DM lets players clearly know up front there are no limits or the group unanimously oks it. I don't even want to listen to ERP, to be honest. I don't want to listen to people pretending to have sex...unless they have a hell of a way with words. Blurgh. --- For the family TTRPG game, it's clear nobody but the DM was taking it seriously and the others were messing with the DM every chance they got. Lol.

[@ShadowsOfEssence]

The 2nd story sounds made up. First off, a lot of the game issues brought had nothing to do with the bard's desires. In fact it calls out the sorcerer as the problem player. Second, I've never met and entire family that plays together like that. Third, even if the mother didn't see and issue, the rest of the family would. The style it was written in also leads me to belive it was made up.

[@rynowatcher]

1st one; I do not think the deck of many things is that bad. The dm might have miscounted. The player looking up the card crosses a line for me; like looking up a monster stat block you are fighting. Op kind of self regulated as the person who suffered from the cheating was the cheater.

[@rynowatcher]

Horns bard story: I do not think that the character being your mom makes it a "horror story," but I can see why op did not want to go there. Your mom is a person too and she has desires of carnal; it is just a game. It is comically immature to call that a horror.

[@draconicfeline6177]

WITH HER SONS NPC AFTER HE SAID NO MANY TIMES

[@rynowatcher]

@@draconicfeline6177 OP never says they asked their mother to stop, in or out of game. Read it again; the view is clear because op is telling the reader their thoughts, not their actions or statements. Common thing in horror stories: op expects everyone to read their mind. Getting skeeved out that your mother has desires is very immature. They were not doing erp; this was her hitting on an npc (probably for the pun of boning a character named Bone). If anything I find op a bit pervy because they are associating role play with sex.

[@ArcCaravan]

Saying "it's just a game" doesn't automatically make forcing sexual desires is okay. The mother should realized it's wrong to force fetishes during family time.

[@rynowatcher]

@@ArcCaravan depends on thd group. OP never says he was not banging dancing girls every down time; he is just sleeved out his mom likes sex. She is not doing anything pg-13 in this story.
