Players Tricked Into Furry DnD By DM And More | r/rpghorrorstories

Initiate the "mute Varius" rule. When something important is about to be started you declare you are muting him... then you mute him. "You need your players to breath life into your world." "True, but I'm not sure what that has to do with you... you're not one of my players."

I assume you are talking about Story 3, with the cult leader PC? To play Devil's Advocate, sometimes stuff happens that is so out of left field that you can't properly process what to do. Yes, they should not have let the situation go that way, and told the player they can't force another PC to do what they want that way, but it was so absurd that the DM's mind just blue screened. I've had that happen to me before, though thankfully not with something that bad. Also, it wasn't the DM who invited the player along, it was one of the other players.

Is it weird that this is the second time I've heard of a furry DM doing this? 'Surprise, you're all furries now!' A thing I've noticed, and I know not all furries are like this, but a notable chunk of the fandom seems to be completely incapable of consuming or enjoying non-furry media. And if they really want to engage with something that isn't furry...they will make it furry.

Story 1: Dude just needs to learn patience and empathy, D&D is a team-based game, everybody gets their moments in the spotlight, don't like it, either suck it up or go play something else. Story 2: Really wish that more people knew this but if you want to have your players to be truly invested in something, be completely honest what is coming. You're not playing a swamp hunt game, you're playing a furry world game, the fact that you're hiding it likely means that you knew they would fight back against it, and now we have to deal with hurt friendships. Story 3: Well, that went from 0 to 50 fast. DM, you definitely dropped the ball here, player was looking for backup and you caved to the problem, that was the perfect time to say "The rules say yes, but I say no. The no's have it". Either way, that weirdo is gone and good riddance. Hopefully he'll soon learn that it isn't the game that's f'ed up, it's him that's f'ed up. Story 4: Prompt: "You owe us. We are your players, we keep your world rolling, without us your creation means nothing." Response: "You owe me. I am your DM, I make the world for you to play, without me YOUR creation means nothing." I'm not a GM, but I understand that no means no. The DM needs a break to focus on exams, that's fair and deserves respect, whining and getting angry at them for living a life just brands you an @$$, in which case to quote Arnold, hasta la vista baby.

About the second story... as a furry - in the sense of "appreciator of anthropomorphic art", not as in the standard stereotypes connected with the category - I'd say that the GM was DEFINITELY a "standard stereotype". That said, I do have a friend that is into fursuits, and he says that those are a bitch and a half to wear - they're hot and stuffy, and are hard to breathe in (just ask anyone who had to cosplay as Mickey Mouse for work), basically mobile saunas. Now, imagine having to actually FIGHT in one of those monstrosities... On another topic, an anthro wolf having fursuits in a closet is kind of like me having rubber human skins in a closet.

My immediate thought was 'you're playing a fantasy RPG. FANTASY. With magic - in fact, a LOT of magic, if Mr. Werewolf is to be believed. Why didn't he just use a temporary shapeshifting spell on them to actually turn them into anthropomorphs, rather than saddle them with inconvenient, no doubt much less convincing costumes that he has no reason to have? That'd be like transporting a party to a world where everyone is an auto mechanic and has their own custom car, and then giving them a pedal-powered go-kart made out of packing crates.'

If you're not comfortable with that I can do something else" and all my players were fine with it.

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

The issue with the solution of just giving reminders to the problem player of that first story is it doesn't address the other major problem. That is, they keep switching anything and everything about their character to the point where the other players have lost the motivation to even interact with them. That's not something that gets fixed with simple reminders, the bridge has already been burned.

[@mentalrebllion1270]

As a person in their 30’s I genuinely feel embarrassed for my age group and the younger ones that deal with those of us in our 20’s who haven’t learned to grow up since we were 13. My apologies, the rest of us are embarrassed of these individuals too. That last story hit home for me in a lot of ways. It isn’t because I’m like the brat adult. It’s because I’m in my 30’s and am a player at a table run by mostly teens. There is one other adult at that table but it’s the dm’s older brother. I was recruited specifically by the dm to join his table, him knowing my age and getting my entry ok’d by the rest of those playing. I do play a naïve character, mostly because I wanted the other party members to feel like they could teach my character stuff and feel invested in her, but outside the game? While I talk with all of them like friends, I make sure to also check in on them. I don’t judge or force my views, just check on them and lend them an ear. Basically I try to be a helpful and respectful adult figure for them of the group. And I expect the same of any player who is the adult at a table of people who are younger. I have played at many tables. I have actually gotten pissed of at a man for acting like an entitled brat (not just in character) and ruining the game and stressing out a teen that was playing with us. Maybe I’m just protective. I don’t know. I’m told I give a lot of mom energy to my groups. I’m told it’s appreciated by the tables I’m at, but yeah I do expect a certain level of care and respect given to everyone, but especially towards those younger than you. And yes I have been explicitly told I give mom energy. One time our dm forgot we were meeting online to rework our schedule led meet ups due to school coming up for a good many. He was an hour late so I told the rest to wait up and I called him. Laughingly when I came back I’m told the entire group all went “ooooooo~ dm is in trouble~” you know, that old tease. They did tease dm once he was there and he took it well but I did get a sincere thanks from him and we successfully ended that meeting with a good time selected for future sessions. He then pulled me aside and thanked me for getting him because he would have been upset with himself later about it. My other friend, a long time friend who plays a lot of games with me, stayed online to cackle at me and tease me about being that mom friend again. We had a good time bantering about it. But yeah, he does point out that he has noticed I get worked up about other people being disrespectful to others and, in particular, treating anyone younger than me badly. I reminded him I’m an older sister and I have beat the crap out of my siblings’ bullies growing up until I developed a reputation for it that my sibs could hide behind. Didn’t help my dad was the same (and he is also an eldest sibling as is my mom) and that all my friends growing up never curbed this behavior of mine because we were like minded in this regard. Friend still laughs at me and tells me I better make a Druid character soon or at least a bear totem barbarian because he wants to see me go savage like my real self who verbally does that.

Why does the werewolf have a closet full of suits? The story I would go with is this is a place where the walls between dimensions is weak.

That’s the non-kinky answer anyway.

Some players memtioned in this video should need some guide to be a good players for everyone else.

Although that "guy" should not take and keep any spotlights for themselves as DND is all about cooperation and working as a team with other players to overcome the challenges set up by the DM. Now we have the second story, it's best to tell the players what they need to know about the campaign ahead of time before the actual game begin. This DM miss the memo, which raised these suspicions and backlash. I was too was confuse and weirded out about why the werewolf have these suits for this mechanic. If this really weren't to be a fetish story, then my only other assumption that would make sense for this confusion is that the werewolf in question is the actual version in DND itself or is a person that use a suit to hide among the citizens and probably need multiple in case one fur caught them using a suit. It is also wierd the werewolf does not show immediate fear to these adventures in their first contact, even though other furs would fear them. That theory or Shifters is a thing in DND, we have that official race. Still, a DM need to inform the players about what campaign they are going to use ahead of time.

Speaking from experience, most people are perfectly fine with furry nonsense in general and will be willing to go along with it...as long as you let on that that's what the idea is. I got my normie friends into an Ironclaw game I'm running, and we've been playing it for around two years now. Even out of my friend group, whenever it somehow comes up that I'm a furry (I don't volunteer it unless it's pertinent or someone directly asks), nobody really has an issue with it. It's really all in the presentation, and the last thing you want to do is betray someone's trust and bring them unwillingly into it. It didn't even really sound like the group in the story had THAT much of an issue with it other than the suits, which they found a bit weird, and that sounds about right. A lot of normies are shocked to learn that most furries don't own fursuits, and a good portion of them, including me, don't even want one.

[@frostwolfnoku]

for the second story the dm should one change the fursuits into probably like hide of the animals because it'd be a little less weird, I mean the wolf guy referred to them as specimen so he might me a researcher of sorts so if in theory, the hides had a slight attraction to them then maybe he'd want to see it's reaction to a foreign creature to which it'd strongly be drawn to them, attaching itself and polymorphing the players to the wolf's surprise and delight(to see that strange occurrence). idk do you guys think that'd be a better way for it to play out.

[@dylanlewis5113]

The Furry world sounds interesting. Is each species better at a specific kind of magic? I wouldn't mind playing in a setting like that. That said,DM shouldn't have pulled a bait and switch. Also, instead of fursuits, just have the magic man-wolf put illusions on the party. DM had them make characters, and then was basically telling them to remake their characters stats. That can completely mess up a build. Illusion magic would let the party keep their stats, and give the DM his Furry party mental image. As far as Furry DMs go, this guy was very tame. Based on what we were told, he wasn't going in a fetish direction with any of it. OP just assumed that he was because of the Furry thing. Maybe DM felt awkward about that accusation and didn't want to continue with it hanging over the table. DM's biggest mistake was the bait and switch and wanting the players to change their stats.

Story 1: I'm sorry but this story is a huge example of not judging a book by its cover. Various is the type to crave the spotlight one moment and then act blissfully ignorant of their actions when confronted. A kind face often hides dark intentions. They should have been kicked when Ranger refused to continue. Story 2: The fact the DM sideswiped the party with the introduction only flip the whole script a second later shows they were likely planning some kind of fetish heavy campaign. There should have a been a clearer explanation of things to come from square one. That way players can choose whether they want to continue or leave. Story 3: You pretty much explained it perfectly, but you left out one thing. Setting aside an unwanted invite OP should have put their foot down the moment the freak made his intent clear. This gives the DM an ultimatum. Lose a player or kick a player. Story 4: Something tells me that Karen doesn't get out much. Nor do they have many friends given they're self-righteous sense of entitlement. If a player can't understand reasoning then they aren't worth keeping. Plenty of other players out there with better attitudes and plenty of games they can join.

[@ganmerlad]

The first story, the problem player sounds like they have ADHD or something along those lines. Can't settle on a character, won't stop talking, doesn't realize/care that others are annoyed and others need their turn without interruption, won't/can't read the room. I have no idea what you do with that besides setting and enforcing firm boundaries -- which the DM never did. Problem player is a problem, but DM is the boss and ultimately responsible for the long-running misery the group endured. In that story, the main problem player was the DM. The second story wasn't "a world full of furries". The only 'furries' would have been the player characters. There's a big difference between anthropomorphic animals (ie: the white rabbit, Howl's Moving Castle) and people pretending to be animals. Why would the werewolf have magic fursuits? After a bit of thought the answer was easy...because the witch keeps sending people there. The werewolf wasn't surprised to see them after all, and knew exactly where they should go to get back home. The question is: did the DM quit because his kink was discovered, or because the group jumped to conclusions and the DM felt attacked/unfairly judged? What would have pissed *me* off to no end, though, was being asked to create a full-on swamp setting and having all that work thrown out in the first session...realizing the DM never planned to use it. Unforgivable. Third story, "massive purple dildo"? Hummm. I wonder if he got that from Saint's Row (comedy video game series where you play the crime boss). In context, it's hysterical. Out of context, it's disturbing. DM should have stopped it immediately though. It was clearly not going to go well since the group weren't ALL 18-year-old edgelords. Last story, it sounds like the 30-year-old woman had nothing else in her life and that's why she fought so hard to keep the DM playing. But it's quite possible the woman had nothing else in her life because she's unbelievably selfish. She had my sympathy until she completely disregarded the DM's needs and made playing a demand. I've had people like that in my life "I don't care what you want, you are going to do what *I* want. I don't care if that upsets you, it will make *me* happy and that's all that matters." Byeee.

[@akun50]

"Spotlight Hog" - If you're playing over Discord, as the DM, I would warn SH about their behavior and if they piped up during a dramatic moment again, they'd be server muted until deemed appropriate. In an IRL game, other than giving them a quick "We're in the middle of something, we'll let you go on later" comment, there's no real way to shut this behavior down without being openly rude. But frankly, considering SH is openly rude as it is, being rude about it is probably the only real way to deal with this outside of kicking them from the group. The "Oops All Furries" - ... why couldn't they just use Hats of Disguise instead? Maybe just have a few trusted NPCs tag along with the crew while they try and establish themselves as respectable people? Also, while I could understand "everyone can use magic", why would that necessarily ALWAYS manifest as being a sorceror? "Uninvited Problem" - If talking to Hoarder and the DM out of game wasn't working, I would've just stood up, announced, "I'll be back when this idiocy is done" and left. "Entitled Player" - This is the correct response.

But this DM tried to trick Players into being furries without even checking to see if they would be OK with it. No wonder there was pushback, and the DM obviously realized it wasn't going to work out the way HE wanted it to. Story #3 - The moment he started doing stuff that made people uncomfortable and nobody said anything, THAT is when it went south. That the DM allowed his behavior made it much worse, of course. Story #4 - Problem Player should have been told, "Well, if DMing is so easy, why don't YOU do it?" IF she takes up the challenge, then hide shamelessly, because you know it'll be bad.

GM in story 3 has no excuse, "caught off guard" or no. I get freezing up, but that's a firm "No, you don't do that. Fuck out of here, you try that again, you're off the table."

[@mrosskne]

oh no, I sure hope I don't get turned into a fluffy werewolf milf!

[@travisbishop782]

Ha!

[@CassidyShadewing]

I think story 2 could have been handed better; it was treated somewhat like an isekai. Ie The players wake up randomly as animalfolk having been transformed when entering the new world. It would have avoided the strange fursuit thing, and still kept them from being native to the world. It would have been better if it was ran with people you knew were already at least okay with anthropomorphic animals; but part of me feels like in this case the plot when well done should be a bit of a surprise. Though maybe at least claim outright that it will be SOME kind of isekai. A story like that might actually be rather fun and interesting... Series starts with a quest to get rid of BBEG, come across him sooner then expected; BBEG banishes the heroes to another time and place and they've got to try to find their way home to stop BBEG.

Spotlight hog, the tail of a DM that doesn't shut down bad behavior.

[@I-Fail-A-Lotl]

The 4rth one needs both that player and the dm beat up for that

[@leafclan43]

Although not the worst by far, that last story is uniquely infuriating... turns out, it can be a lot of work running your first campaign while getting your master's, ask me how i know 🙃

[@EternaMidnight]

Story 1 where is the DM in all of this??? He needed to tell him to stfu a long time ago

[@wightmamba8085]

I hate anyone who plays a generic "furry". Ffs there are PLENTY of anthromorphic race like Gnolls and Tabaxi which are actually lore friendly and work just as fine. I personally like Wemics in that regard.

My boy, the irony of this statement coming from a vtuber who poses as a Dog is unnerving and baffling to me 😂

[@davidtherwhanger6795]

Entitled Player Story. I would have told the player "If it is so easy then you do it." I guarantee they would come up with all kinds of reasons why they couldn't. Most of them being the same reasons OP was telling them why OP couldn't.

[@Insane234]

The furry story does sound like an interesting world, if I was one of the characters I wouldn't want to return home and to become permanently a furry. Or maybe I'd want to join as a native of the world later, maybe a guide.

[@superiorrule34]

11:19 simple because he’s tried to run his homebrew before truthfully and people always leave Probably because it’s is full of his Fetishes.

[@dracone4370]

I wonder what Doge has planned for the Halloween season.

[@sharingheart13]

I don't like how the DM in story 2 tricked his players, but I also don't like how the players asked if this was a "fetish" thing when nothing sexual was going on. All people involved in that story are weird.

[@Aros-pr2xr]

Just gonna go out in a limb and mention that all of my homebrew have anthro species but they are usually pretty rare because of them hiding from say… humans who as you know generally have those small groups that’ll hunt and kill anything that’s different and I put that into play for any of mine or my players characters who are in that world who end up choosing to be furries and I try to keep it on a low enough threat level that the “hunters” don’t pose a serious BBEG level threat but are at the least still a nuisance

[@shadiafifi54]

The problem player from that last one needs to learn GMs are people too, and they have their own lives to tend to.

[@CallMeKes]

Hey Doge, could you post your new schedule on your youtube community page? I want to know what days to wake up with a smile because I know you'll be there while I eat breakfast! Love your videos, and love your kitties. Give Alice a head bonk for me. I love her sweet meows.

[@tobiaspause1775]

Did the furry DM get inspired by Bloomburrow?

[@unknowfornow35]

ok that 2nd last story.. I don't think any AMOUNT OF X CARDS. Can save that group.. dear god.. lol... "X CARD AGAINST THE CREEPY GUY WEARING ONLY A FAKE PEEPEE!"

[@krysbingham2501]

Ngl, all's you gotta do is openly say you're playing something like Humblewood openly. People would come to play a story with anthro characters as long as you're open about it and it doesn't need to be sexual either. Can't recommend Humblewood more

[@stephenadams8712]

Second story maybe the wolf npc had the fursuits because of they use them to change their own race last story if you think dming is easy enough to do between exams you try

[@ximkai8794]

Why wouldn't the furry play their furry campaign with other furries?

[@donniesnyman2517]

The furry one sounded kinda interesting

I love me some kitties - especially before the cringe.

I don't get what's so wrong about "duh furry" I personally dislike the whole "humanlooking" races because they're so just insanely boring. Human...yawn. Elf mega yawn...dwarf...got me absolutely snoozing. Why aren't there more unique options.

[@Shannon4710]

Perhaps because those races aren't boring and the "furry" races aren't inherently more interesting. Combine that with how most of the time when people hear someone say that they tend to be the kind of person looking to insert their favorite furry kink into the game.
