I would like to think, that "a potion that satisfies your woman" is a potion that your ace woman drinks and she feels this pure happines and satisfaction, like eating ice cream on a hot summer, like getting a warm soup after skiing for a day, like a breeze in your face, after being in a stuffy room, like a completing a thing you've been working on for ages, and now its done in the best way you imagined.

The fact that Thief had known Inceleric had done this to multiple other women and continues to allow him into games with women without warning them is proof enough he's a red flag on his own. That Magic User quit a game over drama involving Thief also says a lot to me. And hey, look, now that those two are gone, Magic User came back to the game and isn't a problem element. Almost like those two were the whole issue and no one bothered to dig into what Magic User's issue was. Women need to stick together in stuff like this. If a guy does it to one girl, he's going to do it to another. Stalking isn't a one off and even if it was, it's not okay just because it wasn't done to you. Listen when a woman warns you about a man's creepy behavior! (So many women I know are scared to out men like this because no one listens to them or worse, claim she's somehow the instigator of drama for bringing up that a man was stalking her.)

The most unbelievable part of all that is that Inceleric is *married* . Apparently the guy's been doing this for *years* and their partner hasn't left him yet? With having done it before? Plus, they can say 'I'm going to therapy' all they want because why believe him?

Just have to say it hopefully without coming across as lecturing. Being asexual doesn't mean you are not able to be horny, has nothing to do with the libido. Just that you are not sexually attracted to other people. Some aces wanna bone because it feels good, some dont wanna have anything to do with sex, some are indifferent about it. I don't care about it but several of my close ace friends like how it feels so they seek out sex (not with me lol) The story definitely made me giggle because of the plot 😁 Edit...oh boi that got creepy real quick.

Op here. I ran her as confused about her asexuality. Her relationship with Rogue was like as a muse for creation or an infatuation. Flirting was all a con to her, she presented herself as available, but if push ever came to shove, she'd run far away.

So the Inceleric stuff didn't happen to me in D&D, but over the internet with someone I had as a friend. He was much younger than me, impressionable and had a lot of baggage from his disaster life. And he made that my problem for the longest time, literally stalking me online every day in the last year of our friendship, where the goodwill was running out like it was twinkies in The Great Twinky Drought. I should have cut things much earlier off, when the creepy stuff was only just showing their head, but I was being naive about it and hopeful and unaware of the bad stuff he had done to a common friend of ours, who he dated online. The moral of these kinds of stories is: Step up, get help and cut off the problem element before it causes YOU to have to go to therapy.

Helpless players in Dnd games scream for God as he looks in on them

The tavern tip about making Resurrection a quest line with a guest character reminded me of a certain streamed campaign where a character got permanently petrified in a boss fight so the party did an NPC a favor alongside the victim's player's temporary replacement character to get a cure. Good plotline that added some neat world building.

The video gave me flashbacks to the time we had a neckbeard in our group; Long story short, NB liked me, I didn’t like him and he knew I didn’t like him. He tried to make his character OP as well, was told to revise his character sheet and my character was just a vampire that was keeping his undead identity as secret from the rest of the group. NB constantly had to be reminded to keep his knowledge and his character’s knowledge separate but kept having his character harassing my character to ‘expose’ him as a vampire even though his character had no reason to suspect mine being a vampire to the point I had my character separate from the group. Thankfully we eventually kicked him from the group because he turned out to be a really nasty creep who thought he could “convince” me to like him. There’s a whole lot more but I don’t want to make this too long.

That first Tavern Tip brings me back. When I was a kid, my brother and I played a system called Rolemaster, and the game practically BEGAN with one of the PCs dying. Why is that relevant? That was the plot hook. He was revived in one of the major cities, and we were sent on a quest to pay back the person who'd revived him. So, I totally agree with Crispy that Resurrection can be an amazing plot point to a story.

When my ranger lost her head, the party was in enemy territory, so they had to decide whether or not to try to get her resurrected while knowing that the only clerics on the continent were enemies. Sure enough, the priest also took the liberty of basically implanting the magic equivalent of a tracking device in her head while reattaching it. She was the last member of the party who hadn't died yet, too. Our multiclassing aristocrat had to sell her soul for her resurrection. It's more fun when death has creative consequences rather than just "the end."

For that intro story, I would be suprised if they all sat down for next session, only for God to smite them directly with a lighting bolt.

holy fuck. I can't tell you how that story set me off- it was one of the biggest levels of uncomfortable I ever felt. Who knows what they could have done to Rogue in any of those situations alone? The nice to creep transformation, the stalking the trauma dumping ,the lying, the serial behavior- all of this shows that guy knew what he was doing.

Everybody gangster in dnd until Godzilla pulls up

Local 58 cameo in the skit... that group might have bigger problems. Don't look at the moon.

The fact that this guy did this multiple times and still does not see the obvious. It is the definition of insanity

The answer to how people pull up hoods to make it look cool: costumes with oversized hoods specifically for that purpose.

It's especially irritating to have to clean up and check to make sure your fellow players are still alive afterwards.

I would love to meet up in person for my online groups but majority of those are like in a different country altogether so it’s especially unlikely we would be able to even try. But hey, I’m glad I have faith that none of this is happening in my groups. Not to my knowledge at least and I’m pretty sensitive to group vibes (one of my weird “super powers”). But it would be nice as I have made some really good friends from dnd over the time I have taken up the hobby. I never can seem to find an open table in-person that I can get a safe vibe off of so I haven’t been able to try that. My brother has offered to introduce me to his group but they are very different players than myself and I feel awkward intruding on his group. Maybe a one shot. My brother has wanted to play a sibling duo set of characters with me and is very much selling me on the concept. Maybe in a few months. I want to get to know some of these people more. I mean, I really only know my brother’s boyfriend and my brother. And I’ve known my brother’s boyfriend since he was brand new middle schooler, back when my brother and him first became friends. It’s been years now. For context, in my 30’s. But anyway, yeah, in person sounds interesting so long as we don’t have someone like this nightmare guy. Hope Rogue has many fun games going forward in spite of this guy.

Blood hell...if it is said once it'll be said a thousand times, do not ever mix an rpg for genuine romance. Say you do get feelings for another player based off their character interactions...one you don't know how that person is off screen. Second and even bigger point is you don't know if that person is already in a committed relationship or even wants one if they are not. Third, if you are interested then ask them out for coffee sometime. If they say no, respect their boundaries and leave it be. There is a wide range of reasons why they'll say no, just respect their decision and don't make it awkward. All boils down to, a persons character is not who the player actually is. One of my favorite characters I played was a rogue named Dan Coinspinner. Small, sarcastic, never failed a fear save so had the biggest ego, and accidently blew up a village...long story...point is that little guy is nothing like me. XD

I love your skits/reenactments

Haven’t watched in a bit and I love the skits!

THANK YOU FOR THE MAPS. CAUSE HOLY CRAP. I needed some. Also love your horror story skits.

I salute the hard work in hard times of the first story

Most cutaway or RP bits in yt videos I see give me a chuckle at best, even my favorite ones. I just wanted to let you know, the Godzilla bit got me actually laughing. Not sure if it caught me more off guard than most, or if it was the underlying theme of the universe rejecting a group's ability to schedule a game being too relatable, but damn. That got me hard. 😂😂😂

nice touch with the local58 nod with godzilla!

The opening story seriously strikes a chord with me. While not in disaster relief, I was in the Army for years and continue to live in a military community, and the number of times our games have run into scheduling issues on account of one, some or all of us being in the field, on duty, TDY (temporary duty elsewhere), deployed, or leaving the area due to changing duty stations or leaving the military. There would be times where we couldn't get more than 2 people together at the same time for months.

The way there hasn’t been a tropical storm on that side of the country since before I was even born 💀

Oh my god, I loved the Godzilla bit in the beginning so much

“6 player characters and 1 DMPC” sounds like if you kill your DMPC then a spot would open up 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh hey it's been awhile since we've had a "one long story" video. More of these. The two parter with the Entertainer Background monk and the murder hobo and the almost murder hobo were my favourite.
