As a Virginian, oof. Not saying all Virginians like that, but there are enough counties with people that think like him. Second Story: If anything, the roomie has the audacity.

Damm it's really sad and disgusting that that guy was so racist and from the US. Also sets a really bad example of Virginians.. I'm from VA and I'm appalled by his behavior.. Course I moved out of the state because of some of the archaic views and the way they treat a hostage and abuse victim as its their fault that it happened in the first place.

Just an odd thought. I wonder if the guy in the second story would mind if a white weeb rolled up a standard Eastern noble with a katana? Or more ridiculously, what if someone rolled up a kenku? “Your not a bird! Only birds can play birds!”

This video got a surprise "hit way harder than I was expecting" from me. The person mentioned who drowned rescuing someone died almost the exact way my eldest brother died except it was in a river and not the ocean. I met one of the girls he rescued at his funeral, but he and a friend who was also saving people both drowned and a third person no one in the group knew drowned trying to save them.

I'm old. I started playing in the late 70's and thankfully have never had a horror story. Everyone has always been welcome at my table and almost everyone has sat at my table at some point. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe I unconsciously recognize the jerks and don't invite them. I'm just always shocked when I hear these stories as that is not the D&D I know.

It might be even worse than that, because he said Tieflings are RED. However, he would only know that the only unnatural color teiflings can be is red if he actually read the books, as any image search of tieflings will get you every color in existence, from red to white to even pure black. This makes me think he really wanted him to play a drow because of the fact that they are one of the few races to be biologically incline towards evil, since Drow aren't "black" either, they're purple.

'Everyone else chose the correct race' is such a stupid thing to say in an RPG world where multiple races have unnatural skin colors.

What I love about these racist stories, I think, is that they either seem so confident and validated in their opinion or they hesitate to say whatever it is for whatever reason only to justify it so confidently afterward. These two stories are great examples of that. The guy in the first seems so confident in his racist opinions, while the guy in the first story is just like, "Well, you know..." when questioned, but tried to be confident about it when insulting the guy.

I get that. I always find intent more important than specific words used (though of course, the words used can be a good indicator of intent). For instance, I knew an older person who used the 'd' slur for a lesbian in public, not knowing it was a slur because it was just the normal term back in her day. It certainly wasn't intentional, she is very progressive for her age, so she was both surprised and sorry when I cleared her up on the word. Nobody present was offended because both her nature and her reaction to finding out showed there was zero malice behind it, just ignorance. If anything, there was relief that she found out there and then rather than in more... Delicate settings. The person in the story has no excuse however, they know what they're doing, as would someone from the US where you're at. They're being malicious, and that shit just won't fly.

I’m running RotFM that had a ranger starting out. The session 0 was crucial for this campaign as I laid out that this adventure is meant to be spooky with heavy survival elements when in the tundra. I talked with the ranger about goodberry and we both came up with several tweaks to the spell to change it into a stop-gap in case things were really rough. Then we presented the tweaks to the rest of the party and had a vote. They voted for the tweaks to keep the spirit of the adventure. That being said, the tone up until the tpk was basically Scooby Doo with more dire consequences which was so much fun. The comedy helped by alleviating some tension and made the very spooky bits all the more spooky.
