[The-Gate-House-Grognard]

There is an actual gangster that plays at my table, we never have any issues with the guy. Its wild how nerds will threaten your life, but the guy with multiple felonies likes doing the funny voices.

[professorsponge]

If I ever run into an edgelord named Mysterious I am going to keep saying "Hello Ms. Terious. When are you going to find a nice man and become Mrs. Terious?"

[shadowpoet]

This is why I have, and always have had, a policy of STRICT IC/OOC SEPARATION.
I am not my character. My character is. 6'2" super busty Pale Mistress called Vajra who is half-undead and conjure forces that can rework the fabric of the universe itself!
I, however, am a late 30s human man with a wife and 2 cats.
Remember, everyone, It's Just A Game

I've heard this story before, but I want to zero in on something specific this time. "Eddy is absolutely awful to us and DM but he's DM's friend so we let it slide"
"The DM said Eddy was absolutely awful to us and him but Eddy was our friend so he let it slide."
Do... do none of y'all know what a friend is? 😅
This reminds me of those early MBMBAM days where they'd get lots of advice questions submitted that were like "my friend bullies me every single moment of every day, what should I do?" (Answer: that is NOT your friend, find a real friend to hang out with!) or "my friend is the happiest he's ever been with this girl and he's really cleaned up his act for her... so how do I break them up so I can (Answer: That is not your friend and you're not just an asshole but a creep.)
Just loads of grown adults who still haven't figured out you should be nice to your friends and vice versa. 🙄

Watching this as I'm donating plasma and couldn't help but laugh at some of the ridiculous things that this group had to deal with, thank you for brightening my day a little bit more

[Barug]

At this point this guy sounds like an serial killer....no hobbies or anything, won't talk to anyone in or out of game, won't let anyone know his this doesn't sound safe playing with a person like that

[Asonymous]

Jimmy form mouthwashing ahh “that guy”

[bradwolf]

Dude's a psycho...good they EVENTUALLY got rid of him (far too late)

[calebhughes]

Considering I host my game at my house, threatening me to get your way definitely isn't gunna go how you think it will

[herrhartmann]

17:06 Eddy never having played before, but still calling the DM out on rulings, is actually the least weird aspect of the story.

If I start an entirely new game, and I get a chance to read the rulebook, it's highly likely that I would know the rules better than the DM does.
That's because I have a knack for game rules; and if I read a rulebook, I REALLY READ IT.

That being said, I also know that it's the DM's job to make situational judgement calls. (I know this, because I read rulebooks.) So I'm not likely to call the DM out on minor issues.

I have no way of knowing whether Eddy had studied the rules, or whether he simply wanted to get his way. But he obviously had no respect at all for the DM's authority.

My back up character in on of the campaigns I’m in is a reborn version of the same character, because I think it could be interesting story wise.

[Maninawig]

I think I need a safe space, and I just listened to this. I bet the players had nightmares.

[GM-lxji]

The thing I always find funny about that guys who write the “dishonored who seeks redemption and everything they do is moraly right” is that it shows how delusional they must have been or are.

[happybatty]

I have recreated the same character 3 times in different games and settings before, making it a little different each time, but creating a character once and just moving it across games including the items? ... wat?

[Siky]

Not sure if you've ever heard the green text story of Los Tiburon, Shark of the Land but it's a beautiful story of how a player wrestled a dragon

[nabra]

I don't know much details, but my friend told me that she got real-life deaths threats over a text game years ago. She is a little paranoid about any information that could indicate on where she lives now.
The worst I encountered were national-based insults, but it was more about the real-life situation (out countries were on a brim of a war)

[SammaclauseGamgee]

Irl skills thing....I know Im stealthy irl because I used to jumpscare my parents just by being in the room when they didnt hear me enter /all the time/, was told my step was like Legolas's on snow when I was walking on the beach with my friends, and am currently very good at leaving the house at all hours and only being noticed by my dog. Still not a good reason for me to say my character is the stealthiest if their Dex is 16 or lower. My rolling luck is bad enough--16 isnt good enough.

[DonBraun-fy]

Much upset i dont get notifications for your vids.
Anyway hope your well Goblin.
Scary title

[mukakruda]

The entire group were kinda pushovers and waited way too long to confront this guy. I get it can be weird confronting someone who isn't your friend but is to someone else in the group, but this kind of pushy behavior ALWAYS 100% of the time gets WORSE if you don't stamp it out quickly, by not saying anything you're showing that it's okay for them to act like that so they'll keep doing it.
This guy 100% is just a grade A bad friend and asshole, which if they called him out early he probably would have gone full mask off and showed them right away he needs to be removed.
But there are some cases where the person legit needs correction. Myself for example, I'm pretty abrasive at times and tend to speak my mind, and most of my friends are fellow Army people (I was in for 15 years) so they're all the same, so I can sometimes forget I can't speak or act the same around civilian friends and sometimes need to be reminded who I'm with, and I'll adjust how I'm speaking.
The only right decision either way would be to let him know how he's making the party feel IMMEDIATELY, so many of these horror stories are about groups that were being pushovers and allowed a problem to escalate unnecessarily

[ashtar]

these people need to have some boundaries jesus
