Vile DnD Player Gets Booted And Calls Mommy | r/rpghorrorstories

Who even LET that guy in the first story in? What a jerk! Glad the other people had some sense to them.

[@ShiKageMaru]

Seriously. I think they need to apologize for inviting the spawn of satan to the game.

[@shitpostmalone5341]

It sounds like a made up story tbh. Like a redditor's fantasy of how a total asshole would behave and how the OP would like to react to it. Reddit is chock full of people who like to tell made up stories where they are the hero. See r/thathappened

[@andrewbyrne2173]

I’m guessing that he appeared normal, or the inviter missed warning signs.

[@qu1253]

Part of me feels like this story is fake, or at least highly exaggerated. The guy was so cartoonishly evil that it's hard to take seriously. Not to mention the constant self agrandizing and letting a complete stranger SNUGGLE with you?!? Something is very off about the OP.

To be fair, a lot of people ARE grandparents at 40 lol That said, yes, it's disrespectful and rude af to call someone grandma out of the blue.

[@cmhsky]

You can tell when someone's brain isn't fully developed. 40 is the midpoint now. You really wanna be considered "old" for half your life?

[@notoriouswhitemoth]

If a woman has a daughter at 19 who also has a child at 19, the daughter's child is old enough to talk by the time the first woman is 40. That child should absolutely call that woman grandma because that is in fact their relationship.

[@mynameisntpatrick1476]

Gotta be honest, the "having multiple periods a month" part really cracked me up.

[@siobhanroberts2329]

Me too, because it was so many, and also because some of us have 2 a month sometimes and it feels like 12. 12 periods a month was my excuse for spending class in the bathroom in high school, but that's...a lot of periods. Maybe the DM thought it only goes for 1 day at a time?

[@fearlessfailure2848]

Thats how you know that DM was never with a woman. I'm gay, so safe to say there's plenty of things about women I don't know about, yet even I know that ain't how it works lol

Depending on which timezone you're in, you should have a good chance of finding a game on Roll20 or D&D Beyond forums. If you are only interested in an in person game, then I'd suggest trying your local game store, college/university, wargaming club etc, if there are any nearby.

[@TigerKirby215]

I have what I call "the fox clause" for any D&D campaign I post an ad for. I'll always write down "send me a picture of a fox" (or something similar) somewhere in the campaign ad where it would easily be missed. The idea is that if you can't be bothered to read the campaign ad in full I can't trust you to be a good player. I've started a new campaign and so far I've gotten 6 replies and only 2 of them saw the fox clause.

[@Metal_Horror]

Okay, that game mom went actual group mom at then there. 😆 That's pretty epic. And of course, an unhinged Karen tries to use the cops once again to get her way, and promptly gets educated in the real world.

[@rollanddev]

After she gets punched out. And the cops take the punch-er's side. You sure this story actually took place without any sort of embellishments, though...? I'm just surprised random passerbys on the street didn't start applauding OP afterwards.

[@ganmerlad]

Yeah, the first story is definitely "call the police" once the mother of problem player showed up. Trespassing and harassment. I would also take the time, while waiting for them to arrive, to describe what a disrespectful, hateful, twisted little $%#@ her son was and say she should look at herself to explain why. Awful. Second story sounds like the game was just a mirror of hellish existance of reality. No point playing a game that gives you no escape from the stuff you want to escape from and only compounds the pain. "Bill paying -- the adventure". Story 3 was more than "a bit sexist". DM was ignorant and tried to penalize female characters for existing. I'm surprised he didn't have those characters also roll for cooking dinner when the group was hungry.

[@rollanddev]

Psssst... story 1 is heavily exaggerated and most of it didn't take place. Like the mother getting punched out and the cops taking OP's side. :)

[@SPedneau]

That first story is the reason that its always a good idea to screen new players out in public and lay down ground rules before having them over at your residence.

[@REfan2002]

Have to say, my gaming mom would have done the same thing to vile player's mom.

[@Jermbot15]

Second story is what happens when your DM hasn't planned anything and can only think to call upon his life experience as an Uber Driver.

[@23gameoverlord]

.....😮, what the heck was that first story? The moment the new guy stepped foot into the house he starts acting like a grade A+ jerk and just thinks he can do whatever he wants and not get....ugh...... Well on a positive note: that DnD mom is bad@$$ !!!!! You go girl!

[@Spikex99]

Ok so I’m running a game where earning enough money to keep living is important But that is for two reasons. One is to give some understanding of how the constant struggle for money has affected the locals and made them into what they are so they are encouraged to want to change things and consider if people they are dealing with are out and out evil, which some are, or if they’re desperate and/or broken by the system they’ve been trapped in. While two is to Encourage them to take the dangerous or immoral actions so they always have a reason to do interesting and exciting things instead of just doing boring mundane jobs that keep their heads barely above water. I fully do not understand why the GM in story two would set them up to struggle with money and then force them to stay in those kinds of jobs instead of using it to encourage them to go out and fight that monster so they can afford a better life (and equipment for even more dangerous monster hunting)

[@dwaynejackson551]

I made a weretiger necromancer back in 3.5 whose periods followed the cycle of the moon. Basically two days before and two days after the full moon where she menstruated. My DM who was a woman said that was stupid and I said "yes, but so is lycanthropy from birth. Dealing with that AND menstrual pains would make anyone want to kill and raise a dumbass who made them angry."

[@RequiemWraith]

Now i like a crunchy game, with full on resource tracking, date and time tracking etc etc but my word what even was that second 'game'?!

[@alanbear6505]

Story Two: yes, they would have reached the treasure island but then they would have had to fill out the paperwork for paying taxes on it.

[@JSRLPadre]

Gamer Mom is the very definition of Glory Story! My one comment about the "dozen periods/month" story: What the actual Pho??? The Dirk tha Jerk story is actual horror. I'm glad OP survived that and moved on.

[@sunphoenix26]

Can I just say that I love the term “snuggly player”?

[@schwarzerritter5724]

The party having to take on mundane jobs until the opportunity of going on a treasure hunt presents itself is not a bad premise. Tresure Island, one of the quintessential adventure stories, starts like that. But it is clear to me the dungeon master over designed that part of the game by quite a lot. Instead of having to bother managing every single copper piece, it should have been about getting the right connections.

[@Psycopathicus]

I suspect the idea the 'Dungeons And Paperwork' DM had was to make the campaign extra-miserable at first, so that once the players finally did manage to get out from under the yoke of bureaucracy, it would be an exhilarating experience by contrast, and give them a good second start - also, perhaps, to establish that island as a particularly stodgy and repressive place, in order to set them up as a source of possible villainy later. But, that's just my two cents.

[@l0stndamned]

Not realising different time-zones are a thing is an occurrence I've encountered when I first started to DM online during lockdown. The phrase "UK time" doesn't always click.

[@rynowatcher]

2nd one; that is really subjective if role playing a menial job is run or not. Games like Pendragon have large sections of play where you are basically managing farmers on your land and Cyberpunk has "side gigs" that are always just things you do between adventures that are menial jobs to earn very little money. Heck, Matt Coville released "Strongholds and Followers" for you to have a way to build, buy, maintain, tax, and pay for the upkeep of a stronghold... which is just fantasy accounting for 5e. I would say the pc's are equally to blame as they are continuing to work a boring job instead of stealing the money they needed, taking out loans to charter a boat to treasure island, going to a bounty board to earn cash, trying to find a patron, trying to negotiate an npc captain in on a cut of the treasure if he lends them his crew and ship, stealing a ship, saying, "this town sucks, hey guys, want to go adventuring," looking for better jobs (it is really hard to starve in d&d and most characters come with the gear you need to live a 0 gp life), or just do anything that would get them to their goal. Yes, the dm did not make a path forward clear, but I do not see them trying to improve their situation so much as holding their breath and waiting for the dm to make their problems go away.

Second story sounds like a fun, silly campaign. Slowly working your way up to get a ship and crew could have been satisfying.

[@fred_derf]

The second story is a new twist on the very boring Over-Land Travel Adventure, where the DM gives hourly (or [shutter] every ten minutes) descriptions of where you are and what you see (and rolls for random encounters) and has you role play each night of camping...

[@Bertranddeghaul]

As a dm (although I prefer the term Games Operations Director) I have had terrible things done by and have done terrible things to my players that where beyond the pale of civilized behavior if enacted irl things that would land people locked up and on a register. But we played vampire in a mature mixed group of male and female players with a 18+ rule where everyone knew what they got into and we are European (not sure that matters). I guess playing vampire kinda makes such things... more an option then D&D although to be fair in other systems we also did some really dark things. This kind of behavior as described in story 1 I never witnessed, I don't shy away from the darker or darkest things someone can think off in game. .... including the stuff this player suggested .........BUT it has to be motivated and played out in a good way and never trivialized .... and be totally in character (My games are story narrative/social interaction and intrigue heavy, combat is... well secondary to that) Using themes like this can be done but you have to have the right audience and setting for it and all be stable mature adults that are aware of the game you're running. Also it should be shocking moments, not something that happens every damn session. Fun fact the female players usually got up to way more disturbing stuff then the male players... once they realized they could. I ran a campaign once with 4 girls all (what in the US would be Sorority type) students while in uni and I got to admit those where the most insane/disturbing sessions I've ever run and I was the "tame/nice" one. I've been binging this kinda content recently because I'm about to start a new campaign online (for the first time not around a table but via roll 20) and I'm very much surprised at the stories I'm running into on youtube. Some of it is extremely cringe other stuff I shrug and think "that's tame" But mostly I just realize how lucky I've been with all the players I've had. (I got to say though, as a guy TTRPG with female players changed my view about girls/women...but also makes me wonder what hidden dept of depravity they all hide in their twisted brains) I guess Rudyard Kipling was right when he wrote "of all the animals in the kingdom of nature the female is always the deadlier of the species"

People saying things we don't like, no matter how stupid and wrong their takes are, is not gaslighting jfc, just like a broken ankle is not necrosis just because both are painful leg injuries. I know it cannot be stopped at this point because people feel far too "thehehe I'm so smört!" about using the term but by god, is this doing the issue and victims of actual gaslighting a disservice. And, actually, it makes people sound like they sigh and moan above having gone through cancer treatment and all the scary feelings that come with it because they got a mole removed. Yeah, the guy is an a-hole in the first story and the others are not but if you twist "Someone said a shitty thing and believes it's funny and that we're stupid because we disagree" to "I was horribly manipulated to the point that I was convinced I lost my sanity and now I feel helpless and insecure, if not scared, about every feeling I have, perception of other people's action, and my own actions and decisions! And now I feel fully dependent on this other person because I need them since I cannot trust myself anymore!", you're somewhat of an attention- and pity-seeking ahole yourself who hopes their victim role gets them an oscar. Not as big and bad as the other guy, certainly not, but there are nuances and shades to a-holishness, it's not just saint vs devil. And yes, redditors taking important terms that have very specific meanings because they're meant to describe very specific circumstances as a means to help the actual victims of those circumstances and turning them into "oh woe is smört me!" buzzwords is getting massively on my nerves. Also, in this case, calling THIS nonsense gaslighting is calling the ahole a master manipulator which sounds kinda silly. TL;DR: gasligthing is not a synonym for non-truth, any type of lie, any type of manipulation, disagreements, bad opinions, horrible opinions, or even "I don't like this person so I'm 100% sure their good take on something is made in bad faith!" and I wish people who get angry for reading this conclusion to have their next sprained ankle to receive the treatment for a necrotic open knee fracture because hey, it's all a leg injury, painful, and just "sprained ankle" sounds soooo lame and unimpressive when you tell others about it.

The lack of self and situational awareness from some people is just mind-boggling. Like, dang, is it really that difficulty to reign in the invasive thoughts and urges? I realize that to a lot of younger people im an absolute bastard but i can pull back for the sake of my play group (who are all like 10-15 years younger than me). I just tell myself that they're soft little candy-asses who get hurt by words and opinions and that i need to temper my vocabulary accordingly. The worst that it's ever been with a younger group was when someone got so triggered by something that happened before the game that they couldn't play so the session got canceled. I was already in transit and everyone was there by the time i arrived. They wanted to do something else because that player claimed they couldn't handle dnd then. Well, i clear this day specifically to play DnD so my time had been wasted; after that sessions got spotty because I never bothered clearing that day again (this wasnt the first time that a session had been canceled last minute for some reason that i found stupid). I was available whenever i was available. As far as i saw it, if they couldn't be bothered to commit to the game than why should I?
