Childish Player Throws TANTRUM And Sabotages Game | r/rpghorrorstories
Ойын-сауық
In today's episode of RPG Horror Stories with DnD Doge, we have a tale about a player that gets overly upset over a simple misunderstanding regarding certain rules to Dungeons and Dragons 5e, then proceeds to target and sabotage another player, a story about a Dungeon Master using the game and players as a form of therapy, and finally, a story about a player that insists on writing a long backstory, and making themselves a mary sue.

Okay, if Fey had actually been dealing with trauma or other bad experiences, her ACTING like that so early on in the game should have been a major red flag. People like that aren't dealing with their issues; they ARE the issues. What the group of OPs story REALLY needs is a Kitsune character! As for who holds a grudge for ridiculously long times, OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH I can name two people who are INFAMOUS for that. Delta and Sierra.
I have some horror stories of playing dnd in prison. Should I write them out and post them on reddit?

Yes! That sounds like a very interesting story to read about.
Bless you for that little kitty intermission, that's something every single ttrpg horror story channel needs
That is kind of my issue with 5e as well: a lot of stuff is written way too vague. I have never before encountered a rule system where the mere interpretation of a description could change from game to game.
For the first story, I've been in similar situations. Where players don't get along or are arguing about something and it bleeds into the character. It's highly annoying as it ruins the game and the immersion. And, in this story, ruined everything. Glad things seemed to get better, though, and they got some good games going now. Second story... Just no. Therapy is important but you need it from a professional. Otherwise you just exacerbate the problems. And in my experience just having a nice relaxing game with people having fun can be more therapeutic than, well... That. The last one is a giant red flag. Idk how much more red you can get a flag.

Yup often times players would rather take their grieviences out in game instead of talk about it like adults
The first story is basically that meme of the person putting the stick in the wheel of their bike, falling off, and blaming someone else but in RPG horror story form lol. Some people just lack any and all self awareness.
As much as I love creation bards, yeah, the vagueness with some of the rules of the subclass can be... frustrating. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun subclass to play, but it hinges on a lot of constant off-table communication with your DM for it to run smoothly in-game. I'm just sad the problem player in the first story wasn't going to be mature about the idea of those vagaries being clarified, because even after they do get clarified, creation bards can be overpowered as fuck depending on how creative the player is.
Trauma dumping at its finest with the first short story.

I know, DM didn't even know what an "enabler" is when she accused the group! Just picking up "buzz words" like an idiot! I would feel for them, if they didn't act like a dick! Pro Tip! "Freudian Excuse is NO Excuse!" It may give an idea of why your acting this way, but it in NO WAY excuses your actions "DO BETTER!"
Sounds to me like the guy in the last story is trying to out do that one famously bad novel where a guy wrote about his super awesome waifu and even painted the novel covers himself

Easy to say. I doubt they described every social intricacy in explicit detail, as that isn't the point of the post. And from what was said, it wasn't a secret. OP was also not the one that broke. The specified problem player(s) chose to stop coming, and then were officially removed, per the OP's words. What exactly was the OP' suppose to say there? "Please guys, be less toxic and choose to have fun?" xD

@@Wrathura I mean that would’ve at least been doing something. “You’re making this not fun, stop it” or even just having the fight that they’re clearly pushing towards would have had a much better chance of resolving the problem than doing absolutely nothing and hoping it will sort itself out
About that last part: Yeah, and worst of all being when i came back to my senses i actually end up writing a little more than what was required of me to begin with
I said it before and I’ll say it again, 5e is *awful* in its vagueness and lack of clarity. Give me Pathfinder any day.
First story sounds like a that guy/girl couple. Only way for me to see it. The second story, actual therapy for the DM. D&D can help, yeah, but that girl needs therapy way more. Especially now because of how she's acting and I can't help but think that she's at that point where she could wind up just as abusive as those that abused her

There’s a reason why theres that ancient saying. Never work with children our animals. 😊
So, the tragic backstory was that the character met the other player characters at the school, right?
Although I haven't encountered these types of situations in tabletop scenarios just yet, I have been in other roleplay situations where people would choose to roleplay as child characters. It almost never went well... They were basically using the character as some type of stereotype for a type of behavior they wanted to get away with. The situation described here doesn't seem to be an exception. She was basically just using a child character as a vessel for her own poorly thought out choices, and unwillingness to accept consequences for that behavior. Even when people aren't using child characters to do this, it can sometimes be in the form of an over the top "cutesy" type, or a "white knight." Either way they try using something opposite of their actual intent, in order to try masking it to the best of their ability.
Last story: Tell me the problem player invoked Matt Mercer's name without telling me he invoked Matt Mercer's name
Kitty's and string, is there anything better? Yes multiple kitties and lots and lots of string. :)
Woo, A+ commentary and kitty intermission today, Doge!
I subscribe for the adorable kitty's. Also the fluffy good boy talking about interesting DnD stories helps to.
Thank you doge . thanks for throwing out the flute musik

@@ZacharyOsterman It is not. It's just a word for men with a feminine build. It doesn't even have to have anything to do with their sexuality. This is literally Twitter deciding femboy is a transphobic slur all over again, even though it *also* just means a guy with a feminine build. People straight up just don't want men to be gender non-comforming anymore. And it doesn't say anything at all about OP.
#GAMEIN presale started
First one: starts with "we are all experienced players, so we know how important a session 0 is," is the start of most horror stories.
I have wonder why people feel the need to craft these brainless Mary Sue BS back stories for their characters. It's not creative in the least, and they are overwhelmingly very cookie cutter in nature. Just pointless nonsense every time.

First story upsets me because seemingly no one understands just how badly that 'misunderstanding' was. The OP actively brought up to everyone how in their opinion the ability should be nerfed which the DM heard, putting the thought into the dms head to start limiting the creativity of the bard. The bard gets upset about this reasonably and retaliates, and if you didn't notice, the OP then started actively leaving out battles and such from the story, meaning that the DM did head the OPs words and nerf the skill making the bard have a bad time since now the bard is less useful. The OP then not only gaslights the DM, but also the audience by only bringing up issues the OP had with the bard. Clearly the OP was jealous after seeing how the bard did things, said it should be nerfed before backpedaling from backlash, only to get their way and then act confused when bards mad they are now nerfed.

"OP then started actively leaving out battles and such from the story, meaning that the DM did head the OPs words and nerf the skill making the bard have a bad time since now the bard is less useful." "Clearly the OP was jealous after seeing how the bard did things," You're literally *assuming* that, and accusing OP of being the problem based on your guesses. Because the Bard actively acted like they were holding an OOC grudge and bringing it IN CHARACTER, one of the biggest D&D sins you can commit. Her and her partner acted like immature children and actively sabotaged themselves through their own dislike of OP, even when OP was attempting to help them in-character.

@@K_i_t_t_y84 You're saying I'm assuming, which I can agree with but you are taking things for face value, believing that everything the OP said was right with no falsities at all. When in reality, grudges are only started and held onto by being slighted in the first place, which is fact based off the very understanding of the word Grudge to begin with. Nobody just automatically has a grudge, that's an entirely different word if so. I'm saying based off what the OP said and what they actively skipped out on saying, there is a high chance what I proposed as an assumption is true.
