I've been to the doctor etc and i dont have any illness and my mother had period like that before her first child, so i guess im just unlucky. If someone modeled their game-period after mine, it would be pretty much like Greg's system :D EDIT: forgot to mention that my migraine also tends to hit on the first day of my period.

I keep hearing and seeing the "why though?" & "It's weird"... No? It's a normal biological function. It's like asking why fighter/barbarians have all the qualities which come with testosterone production or saying it's weird for someone going to the outhouse after drinking all night in a tavern... Yes. That's how human bodies work. Pretending menstrual cycles don't exist is just as weird as fetishizing them, imo

I fail to understand the problem with Greg. His mechanic only effected his female character. Frankly, tracking a menstrual cycle takes a mental discipline that many of us lack. Consider that a round happens over 6 seconds and 10 rounds is 1 minute. Therefore, most combat is over in less than 1 minute. A short rest can be as long as 1 hour. Many games allow players to hunt, trap, and forage before cooking a meal and eating. Can all of that realistically happen over 1 hour? What I am getting at is the following question. What harm did it cause for this one player to track the 5 days out of a month when his female character wasn't feeling her best?

Is it a little out there? Yeah? Should he have talked about it with dm first? Maybe, I've never actually played as of yet, but I don't see anything wrong with it so long as he isn't implementing any "that's not how women work" ideas. Maybe tmi, but, there are some periods where my whole body just aches and all I can do is lie down for the day. There are also times where I just feel like a dead battery. Tired and no energy for no discernable reason (this often happens a day or two before I start). Among other things. He wasn't imposing it onto anyone else either so, I really don't see the issue here.

Gotta say, Greg's debuffs are REALLY harsh. I am kind of impressed by his dedication. Especially if he RP'd it the way he did, by having his character ACTUALLY behave differently

To be fair I expected the period story to be WAY weirder than it was.

Won't lie, as a woman I didn't find Greg's little mechanics to be that creepy? He wasn't fetishizing periods or anything from the sounds of it, and it seemed genuinely harmless to me that he kept it to himself up until that point. Disappointed that the DM told him to knock it off when Greg told him, since I think it's interesting for a dude to try and relate and understand the woman he's roleplaying as more, which is more than what can be said about most dudes playing women in these kinds of horror stories. Sounds like Greg kept it to himself not out of malice or being a slimeball but chances are he was embarrassed to share his little gimmick with anyone until he felt comfortable to do so, and the DM reacted about as well as anyone would've expected. I fail to see why it was cool to tell Greg to stop unless it was somehow affecting the gameplay for everyone else. OP is probably one of those dudes who can't handle buying their girlfriend/wife/whatever feminine hygiene products at the store for literally no reason.

Yeah, I disagree with the "Greg knew it was wrong" take. Much more likely Greg just didnt think it was something that needed to be publicized, any more than most women publicize it. I dunno about the specific penalties, but if he was modelling it on his wife I'll call it fair enough. Certainly the comments here seem to thing the debuffs are within the range of possibilities. Could he have been more discreet? Wtf? Took the DM long enough to notice that anything was going on, let alone what, and the rest of the group still hasnt noticed. How much more discreet do you want?? The DM is being a twit.

I'm personally not against the idea, but he shouldn't have done it in secret, and the effects should have actually been researched.

@@ReverieNightengale, writes _"How is a period "out there"?"_ I think he means that adding it as a mechanic to an RPG is "out there". There are lots of normal bodily functions that aren't part of D&D (DM: "OK everybody, roll for earwax build up!") and for good reason, they don't make the game more fun and would likely make the game less fun. Think of most of the novels you've read, TV shows you've watched or movies you've seen, how many spend any time at all on their female character's monthly cycle? It's almost none, there are a few but they're generally stories focused on interpersonal relationships. It would also be unfair to apply such a mechanic to female characters, maybe more realistic, but clearly unfair and a lot less fun.

That's some serious dedication from Greg, but it definitely should have been talked about with the DM beforehand. And, due to how close it can border towards true horror story territory, it probably should have also been cleared with the rest of the table. Edit after hearing story #2: I feel so bad for the cast of CR for having to deal with so many "fans" like that guy. As the first major D&D stream, it's only natural that they'd attract all kinds of people from the D&D scene. Unfortunately - despite how kind, caring, and progressive the CR team is - they unfortunately got stuck with having to see the worst of the community on a regular basis.

Story 1 could have had some interesting RP moments if the mechanic was allowed. Like mid-fight a female enemy finds out and asks Greg’s character if she wants to pick this up next week 😂 “No it’s totally fine, we can raid the village later. Mine comes with migraines so I totally get it. You do what you need to.”

Honestly the OP of the first story should've let Greg continue the odd personal RP. Especially if it was helping him concentrate on the game more. If no one even knew what was going on, then clearly it wasn't harming or even annoying anyone beyond teeny bits of IC annoyance.

A small part of me died when I read your title and realized I was going to watch this on purpose.

The only thing I find disagreeable or cringe about Greg's story is that OP said it was inherently "wrong." Greg probably didn't think it was wrong, like OP assumed, and hid it because menstruation is a topic some people just can't handle. As long he's not being a creeper about the subject (which he wasn't), it seems like a totally fine aspect of one's character to explore.

That Guy Meltdown: "And how he'd never allow his wife to disrespect him like that". Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. He'd have scared them off long before the ceremony. Hell, I doubt he could have formed any meaningful relationships in the first place!

*Story 1:* I admire the fact that Greg wants to explore subjects that not many would want to try, but like many before have said, he should be upfront about it. I gotten burned by a group and was kicked from two games for something I warned them (dark or mature topics) about and they said that are okay with it. I've learned that not only there would be people who would say anything to have a player or not bother to ask more questions about sensitive topics, there is no point in communicating as soon as anyone gotten uncomfortable.

@doms.6701

Those are different though. Your dark topics were not for you only. I assume it was comments in RP or jokes, which are meant to be heard. It would be similar to Greg if you said you secretly RP that you were a psychopath and enjoyed it. That not seeing blood for awhile meant you harmed yourself or suffered a disadvantage to your sanity. Intelligence and wisdom drop. Like a vampire that can't think clearly because they haven't eaten. Hell, a human who can't think of perform tasks because they haven't eaten. It was another level of their character which was meant for only them.

I honestly don't think his whole period debuff thing is bad. It helped control his adhd and he was being discrete he wasn't trying to make a big deal about it. Plus he's basically doing a character flaw and being fairly realistic he isn't portraying it like periods make him a crazy bish. it's not like he's trying to make his character unbalanced or crazy powerful. Personally I would have just left him to it if it wasn't actually creating a real problem.

To be fair to Greg, there was an anime that featured “that time of month” as part of a major debuff to all the female spell-casters in the village, as well as the main character. It was mostly used as a gag on the male character’s dimness, but it also brought the party a little bit closer together due to the need for cooperation; I think. I’m not sure that it’s a mechanic that all TTRPG players would be a fan of using, considering the “we live in a world of magic” logic, and the general dislike of realistic debuff mechanics. Maybe for vampires, it would make a whole lot more sense to incorporate into a build.

When I started my first d&d game, being female and playing a female character, I asked my dm if periods were gonna be an in game factor. He said he didn't want it to be and it wasn't something my character would have to worry about.😊

Honestly, I have to respect Greg for that story. It is the kind of thing that should probably be discussed with the DM beforehand, but it ultimately seemed harmless.

The mad Mage campaign sounds very homebrewed. I'm DMing it for my table right now.

"He was hiding it all this time so he clearly knew what he was doing was wrong" Hate to be a stick in the mud, but characters don't know each other's names all of the time because they haven't discussed it. Does that mean it's shameful to have a name? No, that's part of good roleplaying. Maybe his character just isn't comfortable talking about it with the group, since he talked about it with you away from the roleplay I'd say it's mainly a roleplay thing. Would you, as a person, be willing to discuss your menstrual cycle with the rest of the group? No. Is it shameful to have menstrual cycles? No. He's damned if his character talks about it because that's not something someone would usually talk about it and he's damned if his character doesn't talk about it because you guys would think the person playing as the character is doing it that way for nefarious reasons. Honestly I find his behavior funny. It would be like playing a character with MPD. Hell, I don't even know how this is wrong. The dude isn't fetishizing menstrual cycles, he's just using it as a reason to have his character act so funnily. The effects as I seem to hear are emphasized, like our ranger just randomly becomes hungry, angry, and has random ass debuffs that are worse than some poisons in the game.

Honestly, I'm impressed with Greg. He could have gotten away with it had he hid his paper better, but OP should have let him continue. It wasn't hurting anyone and only the DM and Greg knew about it, so the only one with the issue is OP. Also, the debuffs are accurate for some, inaccurate for others. People with periods experience a range of intense pain and agony to some people being mildly inconvieneced for 3 or 4 days. I envy them

I made tables for genders and sexualities as well as put in to heavy thought what high intelligence species have periods, and what species of animal they could have evolved from in a magic low world...currently my hyper focus is researching the rules of that water ball game in a final fantasy game so I can try to make similar for second life merpeople. just to give you an idea... plus op did say it was helping his ADHD and I think OP should have thought about it longer and asked her self "why she was so offended by it."

Right response would be "Sorry that i picked my nose at your character, but i'm your DM. I need to know what's happening with your character, so next time have a discussion with me beforehand. You can continue if you want it, i won't tell anybody."

Ran in a drow group 3nd edition. kept daily track of my cycle. The closer to my monthly the more homicidal my priestess became. Positively cheery than rip your head off. My ranking in my house rose fast lol. I tone it down for new players or gm's but our evil groups would make a demon take pause at times😅

A minute and a half in: people don't know what red flag means. 13 minutes in: any DM that assumes there's no way that people armed with swords and spells wouldn't have heard of common monsters shouldn't be DMing. "There appears to be a person made of bones. I wonder what that would be called. I definitely can't say it's a skeleton or god will be mad at me."

After reading the title, I expected the first story to be much more gross. But all things concidered, keeping it to yourself as a little mini-game and not bothering anyone is so much better than, for example, loudly announcing "OK SO MY CHARACTER IS MUCH WORSE AT EVERYTHING NOW CUZ IT HER PERIOD! HAHA WOMEN, RIGHT?" Keeping it completely to yourself and not letting it be anyone else's trouble is also kind of in the spirit of a thing.

Another vote for poor Greg to continue with his debuff. The only issue I have at all is how he didn't talk to the GM about including it beforehand. Honestly, if the GM is that bothered by it being a period and if Greg needs that extra layer within sessions to help him concentrate, they should both find another way to incorporate it.

Second one; the fog of war thing is why they make mazes out of dungeon maps. They really intend you to not let you use the whole map as that is a style of play; there used to bea mapper in the party and people that like 3d puzzles tend to enjoy it as that is how you would find hidden rooms or secret passages. It is still a thing if you are into it. DM rolling irl is not different than masking the dm roll in roll 20 or rolling behind a screen in person. I do not see a problem with that, per se. It is a problem with a dm you do not trust, but why play with them at all if you do not trust them? I have never heard of a "fair meat grinder." Meat grinders are usually games meant to kill character, so fair play is not usually a virtue so much as difficulty. The analogy being you have the chance of survival as though you walked into a meat grinder as this dungeon... does not scream fair. The golem shooting out spell canceling collar was stolen from CR season 2; that sucks to be in that position, but it seems like he is ripping off Matt Mercer there. Again, not balanced design, but it is billed as a meat grinder. Lastly, doors opening or closing randomly is a hallmark of "funhouse dungeons" which dungeon of the mad mage is a more famous one. You had doors that opened the second time you passed it, doors that opened if you had an odd number of coins in your pocket, and traps that only worked if you had your eyes open... it is the dungeon of the MAD mage, so you get what you pay for here.

To the first story, if the player wants to nerf his character for several days each month, let them. As long as they don't try to force it onto other players what's the harm? Particularly if it helps his ADHD...

The debuffs for being on the period are quite steep. Like you'd rather have a clerc cast a malediction on you than be menstruating... 🤷😂

There was nothing wrong with what Greg was doing. It didn't effect the game for anyone but his character. I commend his roleplaying

Gelatinous cubes are not supposed to be perceived, so passive perception does nothing

I wonder what the reaction would have been if Greg was a woman? It much more common nowadays for people to add more of their life to their character. I've heard of those with ADHD and physical disabilities on their character. Why not add their cycle. Like a woman playing like that as they are currently on their period. It seems the DM had an issue with it being done by a guy more than it being done at all. Random thought: I've never had a gendered character. Not that they were nonbinary or anything. It wasn't important. It ranks up there with the eye color of my character, which are as unimportant.

eyy a new video!

Yeah, nothing wrong with what Greg did. Maybe should of ran it by the DM first but that’s a small thing. A little unusual but mostly harmless.

Oh, Nipsy and Alice, sooooooo cute. They would make beautiful kittens (I'm presuming they are neutered/spaded).

Can't see how Story 1 Period PC was in any way an issue. Or do female PCs typically keep the group informed about their menstrual cycle? I haven't played D&D in a while, it may have changed since back in my days... ...Admit it, Doge. It's the "icky female biology" aspect of it that got to you. :P

As a woman I can say Greg is way off. Sure, some periods are bad, but mostly I was stronger and felt better during my period - so greater strength, not less.

Third one, GM rolling in secret and players in the open is 100% legit. Many rulebooks suggest doing that. The rest of it is horrifying though. Fourth one: just teens being teens. OP was not as bad as GM, in behavior, but aside from that... WTF was that character?

I don't think Greg did anything wrong

Greg is honestly a strange case. I like his dedication to the premise but the premise is just kinda creepy and somewhat stupid.

I don't really get how it's creepy or stupid

Menstrual cycle as a game mechanic? Darn. They beat me to it. Back to the drawing board.

lol as a lady i feelblike i should be offended but im not thats how i am on my period XD

I don't really see Greg did anything wrong, it's weird but he wasn't harming anyone. if anything I think OP is a bit of an ass to bring up a private story when Greg did his best to hide it

Hey doggie

I don't get the "why though" reaction. Is it really that uncommon to want to try playing out naturalistic slice of life aspects of a character? I see nothing wrong with it at all... --- EEEEXCEPT the system he created.. a bunch of quite severe penalties to rolls seems a little off. I think the effects should be fine to keep RP only, it doesn't need to affect rolls at all.

I think you did the first and last stories before, pretty sure I heard it yesterday on your channel. Not hating or anything just making a statement.

About the first story, I'm usually ok with the DM having the last word on something, a DM always makes the rule at the table and that's his role (I said "usually" 'cause we know well how many bad DMs are out there, and in those case I don't really care about their rules). Also, everyone has his triggers, and that's obviously ok too. But even if I'm ok with what the DM from the first story decided, I must say that what that player did with his character was pure genius.

I think it was a way for Greg to cope with having bitchy wife xD

Def comes off as Men Writing Women. Guy needs to ask what actually happens instead of just using stereotypes

@@gekolvr0734 I'd think the same thing if he didn't also have the debuffs. I believe those would represent the effects of debilitating pain, though I'd tweak it a bit since it usually isn't constant. I'd be pretty crabby with my stats lowered. I see it as he's not afraid of the subject and is willingly subjecting himself through gameplay to the negatives that he believes his wife goes through.

it's not a sterotype if people are actually affected like that. one week out of a month my kid has to make their own food. its okay cause they're a teenager and should learn it anyway.

MWW is a shit subreddit.

1st story: Greg did nothing wrong. He kept it to himself, and the DM got salty over gender issues. I am also inclined to believe the hidden story that DM probably threatened to kick Greg.
