I’ve seen a few comments underneath asking why my partner didn’t defend me- it’s because I defended myself. Any time a woman joke came up, I’d fight the NPCs for my own honour. I confronted the DM as well after all of this with confirmation I wasn’t being crazy. I am on the spectrum and I’m often told I overreact, so I wanted to handle this delicately otherwise I could have lost the friends I made during the shit show :) it’s nice to see everyone being so kind about it though

As a DM for a very not-DnD rp world, with absolutely no knowledge of DnD itself, even I know that player agency is one of the most sacred aspects of RP that must be respected.. It's why you must be very delicate with anything that effects it.. Of the 400+ encounterable enemy NPC's in my world, less than 10 of them have anything remotely related to mind-control, or direct mind-altering abilities. Also.. As someone whom is quite expert in all things lewd, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, this DM has a kink.. A very distinct and certain kink, and he is very stubbornly trying to push it onto his players.. Specifically pregnancy, and incest.. I've played in, and experienced enough to know it when I see it.

It's a very stereotypical Magical Realm moment. I try to avoid describing Evard's Black Tentacles for the same reason. To add to the agency of the players, I typically plan to work in character's backstories when I DM, so the players can get experience DMing with their backstories for a session or two. This is probably because I enjoy both DMing and playing, but I've never really implemented it properly, unfortunately. General Sam's Dying of Laughter was a really big inspiration in this regard, as was Kikoskia's various sessions, but scheduling kills all games eventually. I also tend to have a pretty lax "mutual storytelling" philosophy of DMing too but I've also never had players that are bad about losing either. Workplace TTRPG are a "not even once" line for me tbh too.

I have played brother/sister characters with my husband in the past but that was not forced on us by anyone else. In my game group your family tree is considered to be completely under the player's control unless you take the "Unknown Parent" disadvantage.

A player in a campaign I DM wanted to retire his character a while ago to play a new character. We had his character leave while everyone was sleeping. I spoke to the player about it to get approval before I finalized it and he gave me the OK. IMO, that’s how it should be done. Talk to the player beforehand and if they say no, then accept it and work with the player to figure out something else. The ultimate fate of this character is currently unknown and I’m gonna leave it that way for now.

I wouldn't have a problem with a DM throwing out the idea of my character developing a mental condition but letting me choose if I feel like it could make for an interesting plot. Forcing it is wrong though, like if the DM wants to dictate what's going on in a character's head they might as well dictate everything the characters do, ergo they might play by themselves.

Not related to this exact video... But I do want to thank Critcrab for giving voice to our D&D horror stories. It got me to share my one and only D&D horror story on Reddit, and to share my wish to reclaim my character from the fate that had been thrust upon him. A call that a passing DM granted, giving my character a chance to find a happy ending. A DM that I am now dating, because it turns out we're unbelievably compatible on so many levels. So thank you, Critcrab! In a manner of speaking, you helped make that happen. :)

I will say, I'm completely new to running games myself, and the only time I've ever taken away a player's agency was for a joke I wanted to pull. It was harmless and essentially involved using a mischievous/wild card element of the group(it was already canon by this point that the ranger's swarm are devious little things in the group and the ranger themselves were asleep), so the swarm went to move the one PC that had slept outside into a tent that was recently filled with leaves and other stuff in the forest. Of course I let them wake up at this and everyone had fun trying to get the barbarian(the one who'd been sleeping in the tree) down from where the swarm was holding them. Everyone started cackling when I told them all what was happening, even the player whose character was being moved from their tree. Not sure if this may have been a bit far or not, but nobody seemed upset and all had a good laugh about it.

Lots of reasons. Crab mentions some of them in the video, but if other elements of the game are genuinely good (the other players, the parts of the game not revolving around DMs issues), then its tolerable-ish.

Your observation about how the issue was soread out with Skilled DMing between is probably accurate. I had a DM like that. They were skilled at their system, but there were issues that, when they became too close together, made me reflect on the game and realize how awful they were. I still remember how even just One Off situations had people telling me to leave the table, including my best friend who knew nothing of ttrpgs but saw me so distressed. I didn’t listen for MONTHS until I was forced to be away for over a month due to health complications and I realized just how much it had been affecting me. I’m 2.3 years free, and have gone 6 months without flinching at the very sound of that DM’s name.

"You have ADHD now, you can't go on the adventure." Other player: "Hey bro wanna go on an adventure?" Always works for me at least ^.^

that ADHD joke hit close to home 💀. 😂😂

Wanted to be her bf, but also had a "mothering" fixture, treating then like children? This guy had an odd collection of fetishes. I can only assume that these were relatively isolated incidents that built up over time, which is how they were willing to put up with the DM and stay in the game(s) as long as they did.

Oh god, this story ALMOST sounds like a Sierra tale. *Eric Cartman voice * - "...Gawd dammit, Kyle!"

I mean, there are rules and tables for inflicting madness as a temporary or indefinite debuff in the DMG, as well as long term injuries/disabilities... I just don't think they're used very often. Getting a character or NPC pregnant can also be a neat or useful plot point. I've used all of these mechanics in games I've run, WITH PLAYERS CONSENT. The main issue is the DM just deciding that he's interested in these things and forcing them upon the players, especially when the players express disinterest, or worse, outright discomfort. (As well as whatever personal relationship stuff he seems to be taking out on them) Like, you just gotta say "Hey, I had an idea, what if explored ___ happening to your character, and here are some theoretical rules for it, would you be interested?" and be willing to accept no for an answer, and be willing to compromise and adjust with feedback along the way to make sure it works out.

Eris responded. She was already defending herself and calling out the DM's bullshit.

My character was in a very toxic relationship (in dnd) and that was started due to my excitment of a new campaign and I was making crazy choices. Recently I've been deeply regretting that decision and my DM was so amazing he helped figure out a way to safelt break off the relationship instead of forcing me to go further into it.

after 4 minutes that the video has been posted, I have my sincere opinion: damn

Adhd isn’t something you suddenly develop. It’s genetic

The only way a gm can give a character adhd Fey stands on a box, waving for everyone to look at him. "may I have your attention, please?"

It’s staggering people continue to play with DMs like this.

My first experience playing pathfinder was in a group that was WAY too big, filled with new players to TTRPGs, not just Pathfinder, and had me and my girlfriend at the time. The DM VERY CLEARLY didn't like me because I was dating her and she knew he was trying to get with her. She told him no, straight up, but he kept trying. That, and he would make every effort to not only contrive situations to seperate our characters (I literally never got to meet her character in game, and we weren't planning on dating in character anyways), but also would put me, and the few players I was able to travel with suffer in tough fights and also inflicted some kind of curse on my character that was slowly turning them into some sort of frog creature. Needless to say I didn't stay in that campaign past 3 sessions. This was all over 10 years ago and now I just look at it in absolute confusion. Had I more time, I probably could flesh this out into a whole story but my break is over and I've got to go back to work.

I've struggled with mental illness all my life so I have some sympathy but I mean dude some lines are just so obvious not to cross that crossing them was 100% deliberate and no thought of the consent or well being of the related parties mattered to them. Just because someone is struggling does not give them license to take it out on others and those that think it does need to be locked up until they aren't.

These DM’s are the worst to me. Having a DM who’s obsessed with party killing is whatever. But when you take the character sheets & dice away, you have DM’s like this who are so badly just horny for someone who is taken. They use D&D as a method of creeping on people. It’s just pathetic.

I once had a play get pregnant. I asked them if I could roll a dice for this exact reason. They said yes and they ended up pregnant. I then gave them 2 chances in the game to get ride of the pregnancy with zero in game repercussions. In the end I now have a very funny story and a new npc! These DMs need to talk to their players.

"Oops, miscarriage, no more magic for you" bro how delulu can you be

Nice to finally be part of a CritCrab vid’s comment section not too long after it got uploaded.

Love the new editing style in the introduction!

How can you be forced to do anything in dnd? Just get up and walk away from the weirdo table.

I listened to like most of this dudes videos while working on a fence in our backyard, glad to see new vids to keep my brain busy

We have lots of psychological and physical traumas in our stories with my group, but those are always discussed and there's more often than not a possibility to fix these things.

The amount of creep and sexist DMs is frightening

I laugh uncuntrolably, giggle, kick my feet and ascend to the astral plane whenever crit crab uploads

Careful to not get pregnant by your ancestors while you are in the astral plane... 😂😅

Hears what they’re calling the DM. “My chances of being seen as normal have begun to plummet.”

See, and I'm over here all, "So you have an NPC that is checking out the women walking by me? That's Fine. Because I am pretty sure that I stated at no time that MY CHARACTER was doing anything like that." I'm willing to get confrontational about my characters and what problems they may have or what they are doing. This crap about PTSD, I'd be all, so my character has a +1 STR? That's fantastic. And if they continued, keep adding bonuses. Unless the player is okay with changes made, as a DM you can't make them. It's the player's character, not the DM's character.

I'm gonna have my first dnd session next week and i'm afraid that i will be a terrible player, but by listening your scary stories i'm learning what to avoid and what to do. Thank you.

going from reading the thumbnail to the title is going from one very different kind of horror story to another LMAO

NO body is this naive to not have noped it outta there in the first 5 min!

Mental health issues should only be controlled by the player or inflicted on the player with their consent. Mental health has been a very fun plot point for a character in the past and a therapuetic way to express similar issues I have in a safe environment. The DM, however, should never say a player cannot do something. At the end of the day, it's the players choice on how effected they are mentally, outside of combat related effects.

I’ve had players ditch a character and tell me the character was now “mine,” in which case I just use them as an NPC, but even if the character survives the story I still ask the player what they want for that character’s future at the end of the game.

I've always wanted to try a DnD session, whether it be in person or online, but I have absolutely no idea how to play and never worked up the courage to search for a group willing to take me (and teach me lol) but when I see these videos, though entertaining, do make me feel kinda fearful these things may happen to me 😭

No, NONE of this is normal behavior, For a DM or for anyone else. Someone had to ASK????????? Yet another instance where I feel that Players should have said, "Stop!" or at least "Now wait a minute ..." very early on in the piece. I do GET not wanting a confrontation. But if any DM heads into territory that feels sensitive, uncomfortable, personal, weird or just plain wrong, or tries to force major changes to a Character without consent, then it is time to immediately stop play and *Have A Serious Discussion* . If said DM tries to blow this off, pretend nothing's wrong, refuses to change course or can't even provide a good justification for their decisions, then it's time to seriously consider stepping away from that table. I also note that, when the Players finally left, the DM maintained it was all THEIR fault, blah, blah, blah. This individual is the worst.

what a coincidence, a new video now :DDDD happy to be here so soon!! now to watch the videoooo

Thank you lord crab for this video

I'm gonna be honest, as soon as the DM says, 'oh yeah you're pregnant because spirits/ancestors or something.' I'd stand up and go, 'No. That is not what we're doing. This is MY character. You run the game, I'll handle my character, thanks.' Or, I'd leave. Because what the Hell is this story. I'm glad he was ultimately kicked out of the group.

Happy to see you posting regularly again

Have to say, that's the first time I have heard of a DM forcing gay status on a pc, usually it's the other way around in these horror stories where the DM gets freaked out by finding out a pc is gay.

I couldn't even make it halfway through. This sucked to listen to. It must've been infinitely worse for the players. I'm sorry DMs like this exist. It's pathetic.

I liked how you are upping your presentation recently. It's always good, but your use of skits made it better.

All these horror stories I've listened to. I'm glad I've run into and made friends with fantastic nerds that check-in together to make sure everyone is comfortable with the status quo. Even my first long running campaign back in college had limits.

For the first section of the first post When I have an idea I ask the player Like I have a death paladin who wanted a different character He didn’t want to kill the character but didn’t want to play him So I asked if it was ok that he finds his family and decides to leave the party He agreed and even played his character again for a bit in a later session

My wife is actively pregnant with our second child. If I as DM tried to force this on her character, she'd kick the shit outta me! This is SUPER creepy

I don't understand how they let it escalate to that point. I once played with a player who killed and looted other PCs included mine and when I complained about it the DM he told me it was part of his plan, that now our souls were to trapped in I don't know what bla bla bla. Next session I wasn't there, i just can stand that amount of BS. How did they play a whole campaign with that creep. Ew

The “your character has ADHD” scene made me think of a video I saw reading a tumblr post that mentioned the table agreed one of the characters had ADHD due to certain rolls. A similar thing happened to another character who constantly failed perception rolls so it was agreed the character needed glasses If the player wants a character to have trauma from events, then the character now has trauma. I’m fine with characters suffering mental wounds from the game’s events as long as the player is also okay with it.

One of my previous campaigns i eas a golden dragonborn necromancer and it went good for a while and then the asmr character got arrested and when we came to save him he turned evil after a bit of fighting the asmr, the person with the asmr asked the dm if he could control the fire elementals, the dm said yes and the asmr and the fire elementals moved at the same time, they all aimed at me and my character DIED

Yay! My favorite crustacean uploaded today!

do NOT let this guy have kids

This guy is the reason we need, like, a DM permit.

I've played in games where several campaigns took place in the same world at different points in the timeline, so the DM made it clear beforehand that he'd have the final say in our characters fates after our time playing them but that he'd run things by us to make sure he didn't do anything to our characters that we weren't comfortable with. That same dm stood up for me in a different campaign that we were both players of bc another player wanted to have a very dark backstory involving p*dophilia & SA, which I experienced irl as a child & I didn't want anything in the game that would bring back really painful memories. It's not the norm for a DM to take control of a PCs fate after the game, but it is possible for it to be done respectfully. What op & their partner experienced is absolutely not ok

I used to have a DM that permanently gave me 7 constitution and strength as a barbarian 😂

Can someone explain to me why it takes so long for the OPs in these kinds of stories to just say "No, no Mr DM, I don't want to be pregnant."
