"I'm a good person so if they attack me it means they _must_ be evil!" is a frankly _frightening_ mindset.

The worst part of that mindset is that, if you broadly define yourself as “good” it justifies even your worst actions in your mind. You can commit murder, theft and assault, and your conscience is protected because you’ve convinced yourself that everything you do must be good too. Then by that same logic, people who try to stop you (who to everyone else appear to be more rational and justified) become evil not because of their actions, but because they oppose you. It’s a mindset too many people have IRL.

I am also a recovering "That Guy", three years sober, I have been playing D&D for five.

You hit the nail on the head. I’ll admit I was kind of an incel just after high school but the friend group I made after moving a few states away was incredibly diverse, it’s what eventually helped me break a lot of the tendencies and “beliefs” I had at the time. Regular activities included mini golf, dinners out, bowling, sometimes finding an arcade (the local mall we went to had a pretty kick ass one back in 2006-10), and just getting blind drunk at times. Learning how to socialize without the expectations of “getting something in return” allowed me to see things a lot differently and I’m forever thankful for that!

These creeps really believe having a relationship is like putting a foot in the door and going "Well you did one nice thing for me so if you don't automatically want to jump on me or you will be ungrateful and/or leading me on"

That Guy Rogue story: It literally brought tears to my eyes. What a great ending, what a great irl story! Bravo, Rogue! You cast a ray of light in an often dark world!

My husband and I both go on one-on-one lunch and dinner hangouts with our opposite sex besties and neither of us has a problem with this. It's perfectly normal to go out to lunch completely platonically with someone, and that DM clearly has attachment issues.

Intro- When you're convinced that you are so awesome that you don't have to do the ONLY thing that works best but can try anything else. Story 1- This makes me imagine 'what if Snow White told Prince Charming thanks for the kiss but that's it- I'm not into you'. Story 2- And some folks wonder 'why does everyone leave me?' Answer: Because not every DM wants to run Murder Hobo as a character class. Story 3- Paladin fails to realize that there are righteous sinners and hypocrites and he's one of them. Story 4- Wow, RL character development- amazing! Here's to more amazing RL character growth for all of us.

The rogue was definitely and encouraging story. My first D&D character had similar problems... but luckily the DM corrected him (in game, but it worked) and he and I became much better for it.

Intro: My only guess is that they mixed up vampires for trolls. Incel Gets... Too Obsessed with His tRuE lOVe: You can tell how mature the DM was by refusing to accept that "no" means "no" and threaten to do horrible things to OP's character if she didn't date him. It will always be disturbing to see people refusing to actually listen to those they claim to love and would prefer to try to "weather them down" instead of respect them and their wishes. It's not just the asexuals who need a security blanket after these stories. Murder Hobo Vs. Village: Yeah, I feel like OP wasn't told to that they should talk to problem players, considering how they were new. I also feel like the original DM didn't try either, though I do get the impression That Guy wouldn't have listen anyway and would likely claim "railroading" so some other BS. Just Another Lawful STUPID: Glad the DM knew to say "no" when the Paladin wanted to be needlessly hostile to another player's character. And got to love the "I'm in the right because I'm in the right" mentality. Also sounds like some spotlight hogging if the part where he would steal a good chunk of time in almost every session is accurate. Just sounds like an unpleasant player who had no desire to communicate. Wait? I Can't Just Kill the King!?: Glad that OP became a much better player (I was wondering which person was OP). Shame it required a premature end to a campaign, but I hope he apologized to the group at least.

Redemption arc

The Cleric was playing 4d chess, believing that if they used fire the party could become vampires without being blamed for not helping. That or the Cleric was self-doubting the radiant damage (which made was clear to stop the vampire's regen), thinking they could switch damage types for the same effect ala Dio in Joestar's Manner. Unfortunately, I doubt they had a statue or a buff gentleman with sunlight powers in the party.

i mean i dont blame the first OP for getting away from that creep, though i wonder why they didnt block his number if their getting texts from him YEARS LATER! but my most pertinent question is why not tell the other players? the OP seemed confident they'd back them up so yeah instead of leaving (which i still support regardless) why didnt the OP try to get just remove the DM? i mean i can probably assume the DM and the other players are friends or have some history, and if its that i get it, but still could use more info on that

Wow that DM is *really* patient, after so much time vast majority of people would just try to find someone else to bother

Lordy, if someone texts your for YEARS when you don't ever want to hear from them, just block their number!

Wait a tick. I had a paladin almost do the same bs. Just when you think no one else would do the same exact stupid behavior/actions. I get prooven wrong in someone else's horror story. ... They're multiplying...

That was a great plot twist with him being the rogue all along great story

'Did the dinner mean something more to you?' 'Meant I was hungry'

"Are you trying to kill my character?" lol no, he was trying to get himself killed.

Last story had such a wholesome ending.

"Just give me a chance." No. You are not entitled to a chance just because YOU want something. The only instance I can think of where a chance MIGHT be warranted (if you didn't already screw up royally) is if you are already IN a romantic relationship and something has happened to jeopardize it.

I've been binge watching your content for three days now 💃🏽

Into - Our DM loved throwing certain monsters at us - Vampires, Wights and a few other "regulars" - to the point that we developed tactics that made us practically untouchable while we laid waste to them. We'd amassed an assortment of devastating weapons over the course of the game (not the least being a Sunblade) and we were fairly high-level by this stage, had some potent abilities (e.g. my character had psi powers and could basically make a one-way "shield" that we could fire out of but nothing could get in, and we had some seriously devastating magic users and clerics) and we just knew Vampires, Wights etc so well by this point. Room full of Vampires? PCs with sensitive eyes (like the Drow) shut their eyes and the Sunblade gets fired up. Room full of Wights? My character puts up a psionic shield to hold them at bay while the magic users use them for target practice...

"I challenge you to a 1v1 battle" Sure. You're in full armor? Ok I cast Heat Metal

It is funny that it is mild frustration that makes me blow up. I can take hard blows but lo and behold if my earphones get janked out my ears by a table corner two times in rapid intervals, mayhem will ensue.

You know, I've actually had the thing from both of your intros happen to me in my games. More than once too.

Self-absorbed - Much as the Auto-Phago-Cyte, the Rogue in Final Tale consumed their prior iteration and emerged shiny and new...

I have had someone behave like this in the first story mainly because the fire damage did more damage than the radiant damage, but all that extra was negated by the enemies regeneration. Half the party was telling this guy everything your doing isn't making a dent in this guy the radiant damage though small doing 12 max damage its stopping the guy from doing his regen and preventing this negative energy wave from hitting all of us. But the guy had major main player and I want to do max damage mentality. It ended in a the party getting knocked out and not killed but cleric threw a hissy fit and stormed out of the shop rage quitting the game, thankfully the DM was a chill dude and allowed our wizard to play two players and we rolled up a paladin who was also captured and we staged a break out and had a much more fun time after cleric left. He did try to rejoin three weeks but the group said no his prior behavior wasn't appreciated.

Murder-hobo vs Village: That player shows levels of childishness seldom seen in actual *_children_* - trashing my book would have been the "OK, fuck rolling up a new character, you're out of the game!" moment for me. If he's going to be that much of a dick in and out of game, then he can bugger off. In game solutions can *_sometimes_* work. We had one player go all Lone-Wolf Edgelord. In and out of character, the other players suggested it might be better if his character hung out with the team and was more of a team player - rather than having his character turn up, lean against a wall, practise smoking in a cool and edgy manner and watch while the other characters dealt with whatever was going on - I (Referee) made a few quiet suggestions that he take a more active and team-focused role but he'd have none of it, and he kept up with the "aloof High Plains Drifter routine... to the point that the other players were making comments to me about "wouldn't it be a 'pity' if his character had a horrible 'accident'..." So when his character was off by himself, I had the character's past catch up with him - gave him a chance to notice he was in danger, which he actually failed - and he wound up being killed while he was on his way to edgily watch the other characters deal with the situation of the week... before the session had got into full swing. It was made quite clear that it would've been safer to have been with the group... While everyone else played, he was creating a new character (fixed number of points to allocate to attributes and skills, so it didn't require anything from me except final approval once done). Thankfully, his new character understood the concept of "safety in numbers" and was a lot more of a team player - so, yeah, it worked for *that* player at *that* time. Not a guaranteed result, though.

honestly i rly like the idea of a flawed paragon, like paragons arent purely good they just *think* theyre good and stick to a moral code and all. anyway i like that idea for a dnd character but it seems like it could so easily turn into just a lawful stupid character

All these horror stories about the nice guys/incels that can't take no for an answer have me cringing so hard at past me X.x

@2:30 "...And trajectory, well-" *ad plays* "Meet Dylan, he has ADHD" Perfect.

That intro XD

I just fought Blaidd yesterday

Didn't see that last story coming

Story 1: I agree wholeheartedly that OP did the right thing, but devil's advocate: maybe she should've gone to one more meal out with the guy, to show him that she wasn't going to fall in love with him just from going out with him twice. Dude sounds like he's in a fantasy world, where he thinks that he's planted some kind of seed of desire in her while simultaneously watching her every move and listening to what she said to psychoanalyze exactly what he'd have to do to make her fall in love with him; she should've let him try, and ultimately fail, to show him that's not how human beings work. Since even if he did manage to pull off some kind of amazing 10/10 super-suave date that she would've swooned over, in the end, she'd know it was all just a calculated act rather than him actually doing anything real to make her fall for him. It would've broken the guy's world a bit and made him see reality, and maybe allowed him to pursue other romances with other women and kept the relationship platonic, or at the worst, ended the relationship altogether with both parties fully knowing the others' romantic intentions and leaving it behind. Side Note: Platonic dinner dates between different sexes are totally a normal thing. I used to go out on dinner dates with female friends from time to time before the pandemic, and it wasn't anything romantic. Just two friends catching up and hanging out with one another. These kinds of stories with these kinds of guys just make it seem way more frequent because there's a billion more stories about creeps like this dude than ones that are like "I went out to dinner with an opposite-sex friend and then we both went home and nothing happened." Third Story: Easy moral dilemma to answer the paladin's "he attacked me and thus he must have been evil" statement: "If a wizard performed mind control on an innocent child and sent him to kill you, and the child attacks you, even though you know the spell can be reversed, should the child still be killed? After all, they attacked you; they must be evil." It's the same deal with the mercenary; he isn't coming after you because of any sort of wicked vendetta, he just wants to make some money by hunting down a bounty.

I see what you mean with the first story but when you take into account all the ways she did flat out reject him, going so far as to leave the game and ignore him for *years* after the fact, I'm far from convinced he was the type of person to concede after one more dinner date. I've seen personalities firsthand that would have just continued to push and push, and the more you give them leeway to do it by entertaining them, the more vindicated and determined they become. He'd see that as a sign that his harrassment was working and double down on it. I could be wrong about this guy, but I also feel like you might be looking at things from too much of a well-adjusted person's perspective.

Its much easier to blame anything other than yourself as well, and a common tactic to redirect the frustration. 'Doesn't she see how much effort I'm putting in for her' 'So ingrateful' 'After all this time she's just been leading me on' kind of thing, rather than stepping back and having the self-awareness to realize you're the problem. Walking away like she did was probably the most painless way she could have done it.

Maybe the cleric wanted to be a vampire and did it on purpose?

Play destiny while reading stories. Perfection.

D2! Hell Yeah!

If they knew that they needed to fail to progress the player could have thought they'd be punished if they won. Not all end games are blind to the players so wether they just sensed it or knew they would become vampires and wanted to without the steryotipical target the holy person kill em or torture and discard them thing in most vamp stories is the damsel in distress not fellow protagonist.or the we win but everyone else had a plan and the holy person ruined it and accuse them of show boating. Dnd is complicated some times especially if trying not to be the that guy/gal.

Okay the thing about the date: I totally understand not wanting to date someone and just wanting to hang out on friendly terms but it is up to you to make that known. If you know someone’s asking you out but you don’t want it to be a date then verbally say it BEFORE going. Paying separately, friendly conversation, and the lack of hugging/kissing isn’t an indicator in this day and age. It’s true that friendly lunches/dinners are freaking awesome! Like there’s just something so cathartic about going with a buddy (old or new) and just shooting the breeze over a nice meal. Seriously if you don’t do this normally, folks, you really should! It honestly beats dating 10/10 in my book. All that said, everything else COMPLETELY on that DM. Even if it wasn’t clear the first time, once OP explained they weren’t into dating that should have been a good enough reply. Sure, rejections feel rough, but “No” is a full sentence and OP has the right to dictate their own love life. And 3 years!? WHAT A PSYCHO!

True, but I could also see it the other way. If a friend asks me to dinner, it might make things awkward if I say "Sure, but it's not a date, okay?" Not that it's a bad thing to say, but as someone who is terrified of upsetting other people I wouldn't want them to think I was assuming ill intent.
