The most fun part about a fantasy role player game is that you do not have to be what you are. Tall people can be a Dwarf, Goblin, or Halfling. Very short people can be Goliaths, Firbulgs, or Bugbears. We can be male, female, or androgynous. We can be Angels (Aasimar) and Demons (Tieflings). Why is it so difficult to let people have their own thoughts, ideas, and fantasies?!?

The last story sounds like that dude was hoping that op's wife would act like one of his anime waifus.

I'm always suspicious of DMs that expect players to jump through that many hoops just to play the game. Sounds both self-important and gatekeepy.

Story 1 After the first couple of times or even the first time you tell them "If you keep this up I'm going to stop DMing this game. Being a sarcastic douch is tiresome and boring."

That moment when someone tells you you're not playing your character right. Absurd and ridiculous. I choose how to play my character. And the way I do it is also right. You can't misplay a character unless you choose to

I remember a similar experience happened to me and was also posted here. I will never understand how a male can tell a girl how to be female, at all. Not every girl wants to be a snarky butch lesbian Warrioress; absolutely disgusting behavior to impose this on all girls as the only acceptable way to be female.

In my current campaign, I, a dude, am playing a female doctor who Is with the party out of necessity, since she's being hunted for poisoning a well with viagra. She suffers from being the only (somewhat) sane member of the cavalcade of misfits and having to clean up their messes and patch them up, she's always on the verge of having a mental breakdown. Why did I say this? Playing a woman isn't so different than playing a man. First you get them as a character, then you add their gender on top of it and voila.

A fight in a tomb with two mummy seductresses? Sounds like the 3rd level module in Pathfinder 1E, "Pyramid of the Pharaoh of Sphinxes." In the module, the two "mummies" are actually zombie lords who would try to illustriously distract the party into a vulnerable position (such as getting the cleric separated for a quick kill) while draining their strengths overtime before pouncing; a valid tactic for semi-intelligent undead. The module is free to acquire, so I can imagine the GM getting that for a quick game.

That is possible. I noticed that she didn't even want to tell him her hair and eye colors, so it's not a stretch to imagine that she also didn't tell him she was female.

I just wanted to point out regarding the last story; In Call of Cthulhu, premades with set genders are an actual thing. It's common to make a scenario, and to publish characters to go along with it as if you made them for a story. You as the DM *can* make it however you like, but this is often for story hooks, depth and is a long-standing trait with the system. With what happened in that tale, that was definitely controlling, and felt that Kevin was mad that the wife wasn't acting a certain way to his liking. His behavior is definitely a red flag.

In regards to the commentary on "Evil Campaign:" PREACH Doge, I've heard nothing but negatives from this dm even after things have "resolved." That's not playing a game, that's an abusive relationship. GET OUT NOW! If these people are doing THIS when they've just started it'll only get worse as they get more "comfortable" around the group.

A small note for our resident canine narrator: "Witch" is a class name in Pathfinder. There is a good chance that the "Witch" in the team was actually a male character as well. Of course, this wouldn't fly if they were using Iconics, as the Iconic for witches is, in fact, a she - a female kitsune, to be precise.

Commenting to support you Doge, love y'all! ♥

Hey man just saying again that I really appreciate your hard work. It's tough making videos everyday and trying to have a life at the same time. I look forward to your videos 😀 thank you!

Ziggy is so handsome and dashing. The second GM was no only horrible - but it sounds like unless they take steps to improve - they will stay horrible.

For the first story: DM please leave that group. You deserve a better group of players and trust me DMs are like hens teeth and getting new players will NOT be an issue!

Whenever you have a guy DM claim YOU can't play female NPC's right when YOU are a woman - the guy has no idea what he's talking about.

This is why game tone has to be a discussion. Anyway this sounds like a "no D&D is better than bad D&D" situation for the DM.

Tiny creatures are tiny. It’s in the damn name! They’re not very much of a threat unless hundreds of them in a swarm. They definitely don’t need to be toughened up!

Story 1 Playing with a constant arsehole is exhausting. It’s ok to have a snarky line every once in awhile, but every time is boring and annoying. I played with a guy like this and I was a hair’s breath away from shoving him off a cliff. I had to tell DM I wasn’t having fun and I was going to leave the game-which unfortunately ended the game since it was only 3 players. Just drop this game.

See in story 2 that girl should have been like, "Aww, unfortunately you didn't pass Phase 2 of being my DM because you're an asshole. See you, sucker."

They don’t appreciate you dm there taking things to intense and vile. Compared to what you thought was acceptable fir and evil campian.

What a bad group! They make their own problems, and then put the blame on the DM, and then get downright RUDE, bringing out their phones.

If you want to play an evil campaign, play Shadowrun. Even if you start out with a normal character, they will become a sociopath at some point.

Good morning/ afternoon Guardian

First story: OP, if I were you, I’d end that campaign as soon as possible. These players clearly don’t respect any of the hard work you’re putting into running a game for them, and you deserve better. Second story: So, if an actual woman can’t play a woman right, who the fuck CAN? It sounds to me like Ken is just a misogynist who will only accept girls in his campaign if they’re “not like other girls” and not only reject anything that society has deemed feminine, but also make a point of putting down anyone who isn’t as “manly” as them.

Problem player in story two must be a Kevin, a Neckbeard or both.

You should read the story of Brolar

I would have quit when phase 2 was mentioned, double quit at gender specific characters, and just murder hobo'd my heart out at playing girls wrong.

Lawful-Evil characters are the best, most interesting way to play an evil character. You have to be able to learn and interpret the word of law to suit your needs and advance your personal goals while also adhering to a personal code of honor / ethics that you won't cross. When someone says they want to play a Chaotic-Evil character, or a Neutral-Evil character, that's usually a red flag that means they want to be a general asshole, especially in the prior case. Neutral-Evil is less of a red flag, but having played Neutral-Evil characters myself, adhering to that alignment generally means 'screw the law, screw ethics, and screw everyone who gets in my way, I just won't shitpost about it'. But when someone says they want to be Lawful-Evil, they have my attention.

Few years ago, I and my good friend were asked to players in evil campaign. There was four players. Well, I made Yuan-Ti lawful evil paladin and friend made lawful evil dwarf ranger. Two players, that we did not know, made chaotic evil necromancer and chaotic evil bard. We were members of Yuan-Ti lead organization in home-brew world. First games were nice, take over village here, solve trade disputes here. But then chaotic evils started to be murderhobos. We looked it about few sessions, warned them about consequences and finally we had enough and planned how to kill them. Campaign ended to the death of bard and necromancer. Their players were pretty mad.

Good morning everyone. How can't a woman play a woman character properly? Has this guy watched any movies?😕

What does TLDR mean?

Woooo!

I played in an evil campaign. It had humor, but we were also absolutely **evil**. I mean, we were BAD. I mean, BAD. Ended up with the town on fire, and 90% of the population dead (not our fault, but eh, we didn't really try and stop it, either).

The first one. If players that should just be playing video games instead.

What up with all these men out here telling women they don’t know how to play women? Like what gives you authority on that?

1st story: Stop running the game. They don't care. They want to play videogames.

Just making jokes and nothing more pretending to be a serious game. Sounds like Marvel movies.
