As a polyamorous person myself, it really get's under my skin when people use polyamory as a cover for being an untrustworthy person with a cuck fetish / partner stealing fetish. Disrupting monogamy is NOT polyamory, that's just being a scumbag. Plus it then reinforces misinformation about polyamory, to the point where if someone learns that I am in a polyamorous relationship their first question is almost always "do they know about each other?". Yes. Yes they do, this isn't multiple monogamous relationships, it is a mutual thing :/

I feel no threat or insecurity, just logical thinking because my body doesn't "function" as it should. But of course my fiance will just be "cheating with extra steps." If it is consented to, it literally cannot be cheating. And consent is of your own choosing, not coerced (I wasn't, he hates that I brought the idea up lol) or forced! So if you're hiding it, or manipulating your partner into it, you're a piece of shit and not poly or mono at all! Piece of shit should really be its own relationship term, I feel like lol

Okay so non-dnd related story but related to that "femcel". Way back in my teen years when I was still deep in the "discovering my gender/sexual identity" stage, I thought I was potentially a gay man (non-binary aro ace now). So I used this social site called Gaia online to try and test out this identity as it was one of those that allowed avatar creation like Club Penguin. The amount of times I would tell girls I'm gay only to have them aggressively flirt with me was ridiculous. Some thought I was just lying, some thought I just wanted attention, some thought gay meant bisexual and I could still be with them but by far the nuttiest that still sticks with me now at *31* years old was the girl that spent 40 minutes trying to convince me that men only "turn" gay when women aren't interested in them, that I "don't have to be gay' anymore because she was attracted to my character, tried to erp with me and said men can't be raped and she could fix me.

We thought it was pretty juvenile back then and we were around 14 at the time, that a grown adult would pull that shit is hilarious and pathetic

That femcel story is beautiful horrific. Sounds like the classic bigotry + extreme egotism + horny possessiveness combo

So for anyone curious, there is a non-zero chance the DM in the intro story was planning to play a game using the MAID ttrpg system, a real system where the players are all maids a la anime tropes trying to curry favor with their 'master.' Very cringy from an outsider perspective but can be fun when the right group buys in. Curious if this was a bait and switch or just a genuine miscommunication where DM just asked to play a ttrpg and OP presumed they meant DND.

There's actually a system specifically for the kind of game in the intro. It's called Maid RPG.

Rahja reminds me of the freaking guys who like to make weird insinuating comments and leer whenever a girl dates another girl, whether she's bi or not (but ESPECIALLY if she's bi). It's always just an "act" to these people. Hey, some women like that attention and they're valid, too, as it's all consensual fun, but oh my god... The whole "gay women don't exist"/"bi-women are just straight with extra steps" HAS to stop. Edit for clarity: when I said that some women like that attention, I meant the bi women or straight women who are promiscuous, consenting, and trying to attract men. Some men in that case are already aware that lesbian and bi women are a thing and aren't dismissing it. But man, it gets so freaking frustrating how many people just see lesbians or bi women as non-existent, and I'm sure even in the scenario above, the women wouldn't be down if that's how they feel

Nope, she didn't use an epic drawing first. If she did, it might have worked, but not likely.

The Bachelormaster is literally Maid RPG.

Some of the Mundane playbook moves in Monster of the Week lend toward a "damsel" sort of playstyle. "Always the Victim" gives you experience when you are captured by the Monster/Villain/Phenomenon, and causes other players that rescue you to gain experience as well. "Don't worry, I'll check it out" gives you experience if you go off on your own into a dangerous situation. "What could go wrong?" gives you bonuses for charging into dangerous situations without preparing. "Oops" which causes you to find something important and interesting, though possibly not useful to the immediate story. Of course the playbook also has "Trust me!" which makes it easier to convince bystanders not to go into dangerous situations. "The Power of Heart" which makes it really easy for you to help other players. "Panic Button" which helps you escape dangerous situations. And "Let's Get out of Here" which is good for leading bystanders out of a dangerous situation. But yeah, being Danger-Prone Daphne and setting up drama for other hunters to save you is a recognized playstyle. And it works pretty well. Of course... it's a playstyle you CHOOSE. Not one thrust on you.

As someone who loves Dating Sims and have played countless number of them in my youth, the first story is actually pretty great idea…. As long as people know what they’ve signed up for. And so long as the game had a better overarching storyline beyond “seduce the DM”

For the intro story, this feels like a concept that would have worked better for Maid RPG. A dedicated system seems like a better way of handling oddball concepts than attempting to jurryrig a system that was never designed to be played that way.

Would be my assumption according to what her sister said. That's... somehow really sad

First up: Raja sounds like she has more issues than Time Magazine. Secondly, in relation to the bit about playing as yourself, it's not always bad: some 20 years ago, me & several of my friends in the Navy were stationed at Dam Neck Naval Training Center, and we got invited to play a Robotech RPG game by a retired sailor who lived nearby, and we played as ourselves, but with the premise that it was a sorta Temporal Operative mission, where we were supposed to have died in RL, but these inter-dimensional police rescued us so we could help out in the multiverse instead, with us being assigned to the Robotech/Macross universe. We actually had a lot of fun, even had some random bad-roll hilarity: Like my one friend decided to go as a Battlemech pilot for a Spartan(?) mech that had two huge missile pods on either shoulder, and for some reason, everytime he tried to launch a salvo from the left shoulder pod, he either failed his attack roll or fumbled (nat 1), so he built a custom Robotech mini for that mech, and named it Mojo, with the phrase "Mojo know voodoo" on the mech's chest, with the right missile pod painted white with "Good Juju" written on it and the left pod painted black with "Bad Juju" written on it. As for myself, I decided to be a Valkyrie pilot (transforming fighter jet/mech), and ended up with the callsign "Misfire" because, while I was a crack shot with the jet/mech's laser cannons, every time I tried to fire a missile, I would either miss or roll a nat 1, lol!

Crispy is doing a great job with these skits definitely lovin' it 😁

Fun fact about this first story: there's a system for this. It's called Maid the RPG and it's hilarious. The game is 100% comedy and the GM takes a much more proactive role as he not only narrates the NPCs but also a character of their own, the Master. All the other players play as Maids and the whole objective is to compete to see which one of them will accumulate more of the Master's favor, so at the end of the game (it's usually better for oneshots) the Maid with the most favor wins. So it's more like a very interpretative board game, it follows a very competitive style but it has the RPG spirit with a lot more freedom than a regular board game and all the roleplaying. Honestly, I've watched a couple videos of people playing it and it's absurdly funny, I distinctly remember all the people playing were all dressed as maids and were constantly pulling out bottles of beer in the middle of the game, visibly indicating that this is a very good game to play while drunk. 🤣

Haha, I feel called out again. 😅 I'd actually love to be the damsel in distress in TTRPGs, and actually got to enjoy that experience in a homebrewed superhero game with the Destiny card system! However, it would way suck to get stuck in that role *without* wanting it!!! As for the femcel, she just sounds like a modern American conservative. 😬 I'm sure she's "fine" with all of the other non-hetero orientation/identities until she finds the need to attack someone within that group.

Crispy, I loved your videos, but I gotta say that what you're promoting is dangerous. I mean, come on! Everytime We Touch is the most infectious earworm! Now I gotta listen to the song again on repeat. Edit: I just got to the part where Rajhas sister revealed everything and HOLY SHIT!

God the Gjallahorn took me back. I also never got it and I remember people kicking anybody that didn't have it from raids. Like real helpful guys, guess I'll just never play the raid I need to get it

Ahhhh we start off with a Gjallarhorn story.....man did i feel salty af when i grinded for that and finally got it so i could beat a strike boss...then Xur had it the next week. made me so mad lol

That last story was particularly wild. Like, wow!

Ah damn, a DSA (Das Schwarze Auge / The Dark Eye) story and Cascada (Electronic Dance Music from Germany), what a match. I'm actually building a Rahja-Priest for a new player at the moment, but focused on the getting trashed and party hard aspects instead of the love making ones.😂

Is no one gonna mention the horror of playing in a "Goblin Slayer" type game? He hasn't watched it yet, and going in blind has gotta be horrific.

26:52 Domiciliary rights seems right based on this thing about German law: "Nightclubs can make use of their domiciliary right, meaning that the owner or the tenant of a living or working place (in that case the nightclub) can largely determine how to use that space. The nightclub owner is thus free to choose the way the discotheque should be thematically orientated. That is: they are free to choose the kind of music that is played, the kind of events that take place, the beverages they sell, the atmosphere that should reign and which group they target. That encloses their right to determine who can enter their nightclub. The domiciliary right is based on the German constitutional right of inviolability of the home." What _other_ countries use this legal term this way is another matter.

Also... whew... that was... an ordeal. I hope Rahja has fixed whatever the heck is wrong with her and is not being a menace anymore. Though I'm not holding out hope.

That's a really good discription, of what this rights are ment to be. It's your space so you decide what to do there and who can and cannot enter. Usually when someone says they are using this rights, they are just talking about making someone leave. I have no idea. I just looked up the term and that was the translation of what I meant, so at least it's right in germany. Well crispy left out the last bit (which is not important), but I saw her sister a few more times and if I remember that right Rahja kept complaining about me for some time (or about my boyfriend, not sure)

I only found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I've been working my way through the horror stories. And I'm questioning the kind of person I am as they are actually inspring me to play D&D again... after a gap of 35 years. Pray for me....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... ...And I can't believe you just read my story. Thanks! "The Sexy Lamp"!

I mostly play the dark eye too and when I heard the problemplayer was playing a prist of Rahja I knew where this would go... Since this godess has the main aspect of physical love, thats where problem players playing them go. For them its a noughty bard without their spells.... But those problem players allways ignore all other aspects of this godess that could make a character either a good peacefull face, a master of duelles or a good mounted fighter. I know this since I play a novice of this godess too when ever I am a player. I love how the game uses this godess to bring acceptencs for the entire lgbtqia+ spectrum into the world law. But its allways a shame to see what some peole do with such a positive part of a game and its even worse how she reacted out of game.

That was a rollercoaster of a story.

When a person believes they are so attractive that gay men CANNOT exist, you know that there is some underlying narcissism there that is impossible to uproot.

The tea on that last one was SCALDING!!!

The saddest thing is that I can see some network going "Bachelormaster, eh? Sounds profitable!" and greenlight it. *Edit:* Also, that edit with Crispy-crow over James Somerton has aged like sour milk this past week. ;-)

Actually, that's Prof. Evan Gottlieb, from a video that talks about Foreshadowing in writing. It's from Oregon State University, apparently, but what most people know it from is Internet Historian. If James Somerton has used it as well, that's news to me.

Intro story might not be D&D, but it does remind me that I really should get around to reading My Life With Master (Which isn't about that - It's gothic horror where the PC's are playing the minions to the villain. Igor and equivalents, if you will) I just always wind up mixing that game up with another one that I think _is_ an attempt to turn harem anime into a TTRPG experience and can't recall the name of)

Holy crap that last story was a WILD RIDE

A self aware DnD “The Bachelor” sounds kinda fun 2 seconds after hearing it (or any kind of reality show premise)

I've only just come across the Tavern and I am so glad I have ^...^ The stories are hilarious and I love the skits. Thank you so much Crispy!!! Maybe one day I'll know how you got your name lol

Crispy is just my name :)

4:15 "based on the Goblin Slayer anime" *War flashbacks* But seriously, even myself, as someone who kinda enjoyed s1 of the show (EXCEPT Ep 1 which is NOT AT ALL OKAY), a player or DM suggesting this *particular* anime as the basis for an RPG is a red flag. Were it me, I would absolutely insist on a discussion of what is and isn't allowed in-game, especially concerning consent and intimate stuff. Also, would 100% be worried the person who suggested this anime will try to pull some SUPER CREEPY stunt.

This reminds me of a player in my group a few years back who said that lesbians were a hollywood conspiracy, and two female PCs flirting (romance RP has always been entirely normal at our table) were just there to piss her off.

And of course the "Ow, my Spleen!" has to make an appearance

Love the skits!

I'll have you know that Crispy and Crispys tavern is cannon in my current game.

The Thor edit with TTS really got me lmao

That first game already has a an entire RPG like that, it's called MAID

That's Maid RPG. The first one is Maid RPG.

It's a surprisingly fun RPG, but IT HAS RULES! (And it's not about 'seduction' EXACTLY, it's 'pleasing the master'...which in some cases can pretty much be seduction)

I agree on your view of romance in dnd. Honestly? I haven’t much played romance in dnd. Even then, I’m not comfortable doing so with other players, even with my girlfriend’s permission (we had a thorough discussion on this when I started the hobby and even since then to stay in the same page). I have gotten a bit more comfortable lately with adding romance to my dnd games but it’s still more as a side thing than front and center. For example, I have a character who will flirt and maybe have a one night stand (fade to black) but will not be in a committed relationship or entertain it. Heck, they hardly do the flirting or otherwise much. And this is because the character I made is still grieving the loss of their fiancé who died in a rampaging creature attack that they still feel survivors guilt over and unmoored since their life plan has now crumbled down around them (spending their life with their fiancé). The character isn’t meant to have romance in my playing of said character and I made this quite clear. Seduction? Especially as a distraction? Maybe. Playing that by ear, but actual romance? Not at all. For the most part I play asexual characters and even some tables are just outright “no romance” tables which I’m ok with. I haven’t really much gotten the experience of adding romance to my dnd games. I’m only even playing this character who does have a romantic history because I trust the dm and players a great deal and we have thorough discussions with each other before and after games and even, if needed, take a break and discuss it in the middle of the game. It’s a safe space for it. And this has been the only way I think I would ever be comfortable playing out a romance if it wasn’t my girlfriend at the table (my girlfriend has no interest in dnd so that won’t happen, she still sweetly supports my hobby though). Anyway, this is just my opinion and experience. To each their own. I know plenty of people who have and do add romance to their tables. And I’m glad for them and hope they have fun. I’m just not much into it or comfortable with it, not directed at me at least. Like I said, only recently playing with it as a plot device and not in a way where my character actually has it happening in front of them, more a “this is why they are like this” type of thing, or “this is why they know that person” type of set up. But to each their own right? Even takes their tea differently and that’s valid.

As someone who also played a ton of Destiny One, everyone has a certain exotic they are just cursed to never get. I managed to pull a Pocket Infinity from a legacy engram, but never got my hands on an Ice Breaker.

I enjoy your content so much. Some of these people are so crazy

Tried doing a campaign with a group of folks I met, but my mother passed and I missed some character details I was kicked out and replaced, and told I was the problem, told to go deal with my “issues”

the opening story sounds more like maid the rpg rather than d&d

I didn't know Crispy was ace, so that was nice to see another Ace person! The Bachelor bit was funny,

I know that suspending a campaign until the DM is in the right headspace is a very normal thing but I can't help but wonder if this is a player from my Celtic myth campaign where that exact same thing happened. I'm in several campaigns at the moment and my tempest cleric from that campaign is in a multi-shot game, so I don't think I'm jinxed, but it's just so specific. In the extremely rare event that the person who wrote in sees this, was your campaign based around Celtic mythology and artifacts, and was there a tempest cleric in it who at one point went first in initiative during a random encounter on the road and killed every single eagle in one turn?

I should point out , the 2 Shot Liam Obrian run was not only amazing but kinda delve into some dark stuff in the 2nd one. I will not elaborate cause its been a while and my memory could be wrong but also cause it adresses some sensitive stuff (not really dark nsfw stuff, more existential dread type of stuff)

First time commenting but I'm blaming you Crispy for bringing back my hyperfixation for Eddie Munson from using that clip. As always awesome content and I want to play again!!

Harem dnd is the most cursed thing I’ve heard all week
