In the sexorism story, lore wise in 40k (now correct me on this), the pirate character is doing something heritical & would reasonably & cannonically would be executed by the inquisitior.
From what I've heard doing anything an Inquisitor does not find Heretical is a feat in and of it self. But yes, fornicating with demons is way up near the top of the list.
Yeah, Inquisitors no joke are liable to exterminate an entire bloodline if they think its needed. Kinda the point of 40k, excessive use of force/purging.
In the "sexorcism" part, any inquisitorial agents showing up, let alone the inquisitor himself, would react to seeing someone getting freaky with a daemonhost, especially one of their own acolytes doing so and now being compromised or having been a traitor the whole time, at best is going to be full of burn marks from las fire, at worst is going with the inquisitor for "advanced questioning" before being filled with burn marks.
That one GM is also a coward. "We're just going to keep playing and not tell them." Grow a pair dude. Tell her no and to stop or its done. I just recently kicked someone out and you don't have to be rude about it either. Just that your not working together and maybe they would fit a different group. Done. Is that s difficult? You don't even have to talk to them but email or message them because it'snot like your breaking up a twenty year long relationship.
I'm dead serious when I say I started crying. I am a victim of CSA and also afab. I've faced men like this for my whole life and I'm only 18. When I say I would have ended up in prison for beating his ass the moment he made her cry, I mean it. I would have had a ptsd level reaction to that shit. That poor girl, dude. I just hope she's okay now.
I hope OP distances themselves from that cousin. The cousin is okay with the DM being sexist and forced the barbarian's player into a rape scenario despite her discomfort, that isn't a sign of good character imo.
I generally dont go for guilt by association but this is the specific kind of association that screams birds of a feather. If he isnt already down for doing some sex pestery enough time spent with the DM will "fix" that.
I started crying over it. I'm afab and also have issues with getting extreme attachments to characters. If I had been in that room his ass would've been on the ground and I would've been getting hauled off to jail. What he did feels like it should be classified as a form of rape.
In the "soft kick" scenario, the OP should have confronted Claire. If either scenario loses her partner, talking to Claire honestly at least airs what the issue is and gives her a chance to learn or change.
It also potentially keeps the partner in the game, if they decide to keep playing. Just soft kicking them like that not only gets rid of both of them outright, but also punishes the partner for the actions of Claire.
Second to last one: that is some pretty cut and dry herracy in the 40k lore. One of the major Demon cults is a sex cult (patron of their dark elves), and blood lines are a major thing in Warhammer, so expressing a plan to sleep with a creature from the warp alone would be enough to get you killed. "Burn everything," is the best reaction you could expect; "Exterminotus," being the worst as the inquisition might kill everything there, including the party, to make sure they got every single heretic. That having been said, an npc saving the rest of the party is weak.
Exactly. It is pretty on point for 40k. However, with the NPC saving the party, sometimes it is necessary if a DM/group doesn't want a total TPK, and want to keep the party alive. As long as everyone is on board, and it's not a regular thing, it's fine.
I can’t get over the dude in the last story *showing his story off to the group* Like writing it is bad enough but to be so in your own delusional view of things as to willingly show everybody is a degree of arrogance and lack of social awareness it’s hard to comprehend.

After the players had enough MrXes farmed and proceed to the actual plot, just drop much more MrXes on them and make those take everything after the inevitable defeat
This is true but the very fact that this happens so often tells us that it's not that easy for many people, otherwise, this wouldn't be the case. The Venn diagram of conflict-averse people and TTRPG players isn't quite a circle but the overlap is significant. If we're going to stop it, we need to figure out why people become conflict averse and work on both prevention and cure, especially given how much it's bound to be affecting their lives in others areas too, not just when roleplaying.
the 40 K thing is pretty logical, If I were an inquisitor finding a member of my team consorting with a daemon, I'd order the same.... I don't know what hentai suggested the sexorcism to the player, but 40K is a lot darker and grittier than that.
I'm going to have to disagree with you (and agree with most of the comments) to say the DM was being fully fair by killing the horny PC and saving the other two. The faction the PCs were working for have a literal "kill it with fire" policy on anyone who interacts with demons in any way other than "kill it" or "study it so we can kill it" (and the later might still get you shot if you take to long to get to the kill stage) so it makes full sense in-universe for this to happen and the party would have been aware of it.
Things like scenario 2 are easely avoided by a DM with a spine. They would hate me soo much, punishing them at every corner after shutting it down after 1 attempt. Their new character would start with only what the party gives him.
Oh grand and powerful DnD Doge… Lull me to slumber with your wondrous voice of tale telling! Cast Charm Person on me and steal my heart!

Intro: Alice and Lucky! Or is the black cat Ziggy? Doesn't matter; "Like" button activate! Eight stories? Perfect! I have laundry to fold! "AI 'Art'"--Yikes! We needed an emergency kitty psychic damage repair after that one! "Character Farming"--Agreed. Maybe a fun trick if allowed as a one-off, but the sooner that bud is nipped, the better. "Critical Role Fangirls"--They expect a Matt Mercer DM, but don't want to observe the same rules of etiquette his players follow (loose as they apparently are). "The Implication"--Gross! It's best not to even associate with anyone who doesn't see a problem with sexual coercion, even in make believe. Who was that DM anyway, Harvey Weinstein? "Murderhobo"--That's not how PTSD works... Also, if "that's what your character would do," either 1. Play a different character or 2. Play that character somewhere else. "Too Many People"--The earlier this is clarified, the better. It's fair to point out there was never an allowance for "plus ones," much less endless chain invites. "Sexorcism"--Ending that with lots of fire seemed thematically appropriate. Moving on... "Erotic Fanfic"--I began hating this story from the title forward. Just because incel fantasy anime exists doesn't mean anyone has to watch it. Let it die. This episode needed more cat intermissions.
Story #1 - That Dave put these pics on a separate account ,which he did NOT share with the Players ,says quite loudly that he KNEW that they would object. Ee-yewww. It's stories like these that make me think there should be some kind of "Stranger Danger" protocol in RPG groups. Story #2 - Dealing with this, a *major* problem I see is that whomever the Character sold their soul to would have a vested interest in keeping that individual around to serve their own purposes. So whomever killed them would be a person of .... "interest" (and we all know what THAT means). I'd add, it is very plausible that the 'sponsors' secretly "tagged" their guy's cyberware, so if he dies or disappears, whomever they find with the goods will be in a lot of trouble. Okay, the goods were sold? Simple, that corp goes after whomever they find with it, and then starts backtracking. Which means that not only is the corp gunning for that Character, but also whomever the Character sold that cyberware TO. There's also a matter of simple economics. If corporations start losing way too many people this way, odds are they are going to be a lot more careful. They're not just going to keep pouring money down the drain, that much is certain. Tougher entry requirements, more control, greater enforcement of loyalty, etc.. Story #3 - "This is NOT Critical Role - and you both should either leave OR learn to *STFU* !!!!!!!!!" Story #5 - CONSEQUENCES, first and foremost for any murderhoboing. Don't soft kick, that's cowardly. Boot, tell them why, and block immediately, so MAYBE they'll learn something. Story #6 - Experience has shown me that the optimum size range for any RPG group is somewhere between four and seven Players. A lot depends on the system and the DM, but too few can mean gaps in what the Characters can manage, and too many means chaos and people getting side-lined. I like Pathfinder, but it is a complex system, and the numbers talked about here would be flat-out unmanageable. If not wanting to turn anyone away, the best that could possibly be done here is to tell the entire group there are way too many for one game, and split them into separate groups. Each separate group run by a different DM or, if only one DM, run on different nights. That's the only way, as I see it. Story #7 - The DM handled this as well as could have been managed, all things considered. Pirate was repeatedly told that his "sexorcism" was NOT going to work, and that it was a generally bad idea (sudden horrific visions of daemonic STDs, yikes!!!!!). Entirely on him, no sympathy whatsoever..

Heroforge is my go to for character token creation. As well as Pinterest and other image search pages. Story 2: That was... interesting and entertaining. Story 3: Ah, yes; the Matt Mercer effect strikes again. Poor Matt Mercer. "Does this face look like Matt Mercer? Am I Matt Mercer? Are you a trained professional actor? Ar there cameras here to record our session?" Story 4: Oh, god. (Mashes abort button). DM license revoked! Story 5: Ohh boy. A that girl. Boot the drama queen! Story 6: Do what I did. Multi-party campaign! Also, oh god. WTF player. Cancel! Story 7: I don't need to hear the rest of the story. (Loads bolter and preps heavy flamer with heretical cleansing intent) Heretics get deleted. It's probably an H, not an anime the idiot got the idea from. Reward for tolerance is heresy and betrayal.

I use AI Art generation to get a basis and idea to realize my own character concepts So I can know what they look like Sometimes I share them with others That being said I know the risks of the algorithm being abused and making a metric ton of NSFW pictures in the time it takes me to piss And a lot of them can be very disrespectful and disturbing
That 1st story is clever AF. And you really cant stop it. Think about it, all they did was have a controlled death and the equipment WOULD be split with the party or they poof which isnsilly unless like eaten whole. What if instead they get themselves killed in combat? Theres games that have many PC deaths NOT on purpose. 🤔
The cyber punk exploit is so easily dealt with tho if you want to 1. Make them loose humanity for killing their friends 2. All the cyberware is broken bc you just killed it’s owner while they had it on and your gear is badly damaged from the fight
Only thing i ever disliked about Cyberpunk Red was the only group i ever played it with kept trying to force me to play a Medtec, because i couldnt decide what i wanted to play. They also would never hear of me playing a Netrunner. Months after just quitting that group, I started playing Cyberpunk 2077. I know it's not completely identical, but I now know, Netrunner IS my playstyle. I think I'd dumpstat gun skills for better stealth though.
To be fair, in Dragon Age Origins. There is a similar situation to the Sexorcism. If you send your character to meet the Demon. You can fight, intimidate, or let the demon keep the victim. You could convince the demon to leave and sleep with your character.
Judging by the name of the title, regulations for AI are not coming as fast as we wish ... Also... why people feel the need to do their sexual fantasies in DnD? Or in any table top game? We live in an era where people overshare way to mush, rebel against it by being more private about your personal stuff. I guess its a thing to involve people, some get a kick of it, but it's still rude and inappropriate to do that.
I, too, wish to ask my -betters- legislators to regulate things they have no business regulating for reasons entirely unrelated to the actual event. AI isn't the problem with this. Any competent artist could have done the same thing - do you propose to regulate the ability to draw too, just because someone could draw porn of people they know with it, or do you think you might, _maybe,_ find that you're aiming a little too broadly.
@@stevenschnepp576 Until someone releases compromising AI about you I guess XD Most won't recognize something is a problem until it bites them. AI may not be the problem, but how people use it should definitely be regulated.
@@fmor2779 maybe people should just learn to not post their photos on the net. Anyone could always Photoshop their heads in porn, let's not pretend it's a AI problem in origin
@@leonelegender Or maybe there should be regulations because, just like in many other aspects like copyright infringement, or defamation, doing that is considered a CRIME. Does it bother you because... perhaps to you it would be inconvenient? To make things like that easy? Maybe it bothers you because you support that wrongful type of use? Hmmm?
It's not 'overly attached' to care about what happens to your character; there's not really any point in playing a character in the first place if you don't care what happens to them, just as there's little point in watching a movie if you don't care what happens to the people in it. The 'Eight fatal words' are: "I don't care what happens to these people," after all.
I'm guessing there's a difference between being invested in a character and having a breakdown over potential character death. Like there's a healthy amount of investment. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the DM's victim for what happened. I just understand what they mean by over invested.
On the cyberpunk red story, thats a hard no, the system focuses on the lack of resources, so allowing players to generate free money (or to be more specific, unrestricted items, since one the game starts you cannot get every item, you gotta go through a fixer, which introduces more story beats), by allowing this you are not only breaking the economy of the game, setting 2 players to be op (if they dont share) but letting them know they can get away with metagaming
Story 4 made me cry. Im dead serious. I am the kind of person who has a lot of original characters. I get even more attached than she did. What that man did FEELS like rape. This is coming from a csa survivor. What he did feels like sexual assault. He used threats and a power imbalance to try and forcibly screw somebody who didnt want it. Even if it was in fiction.. That feels like a form of sexual abuse. That poor girl. I could've ended up in prison for assault if I had been there because I would have slapped the shit out of him. I genuinely don't know how nobody got up and beat his ass, or at least started screaming when she cried. ,,, Maybe I'm just protective when I see creepy guys. I'm AFAB and the kind of person to get in between a creep and a scared woman regardless of if he could beat my ass. But holy shit. What he did is so far beyond evil. How the fuck could he ever claim to love her. How could he even claim to CARE about her. He emotionally tortured her and likely turned her off D&D for the rest of her life, and he got away with it. Oh my god.
Cyberpunk game: that is not really any smarter than rolling up d&d characters and having the party keep killing themselves off for exp. Money in that game is generally how characters advance, so that seems more disruptive than anything. You also run into the issue of that game has injuries taking a long time to heal (up to a week to fully heal), so it moves the job back a week. Possibly missing their first job, if the dm is running a time line. "Selling one's soul" is just going into debt, so it kind of negates the point of it as an rp hook if you just have a character commit suicide to get out of it... meh? Their game.
Some of the Creepy DM's need to have a RL rule, if they get too creepy or say sht like "women shouldn't play" then the other players get to force them to swallow a D20 in repentance.
Oh hey I used BG3 to make tokens for my friends. Well one of them made her own and i copied it for screenshots but i made the other three and a couple NPCs that way
IDK what Crit Roll is, never seen it, but this is like the 3rd story I've heard where people go in expecting it to be like the DnD shows like Dropout, or that animated DnD thing the Rick and Morty/Community guy had.
Critical Role is a DND live play series where famous voice actors like Liam O Brien, Laura Bailey, Matt Mercer, Talesin Jaffe, and Marisha Ray play DND with occasional guest players here and there.
Okay, but an endless supply of hotheaded idiots killing each other over a cheesy codename and leaving behind a shitton of money to loot sounds hilarious.
In the Sexorcism story, I feel the GM doesn't get the universe and is buckling under the weight of player agency. The Inquisitor would have killed the entire party reflexively, and justly so, unless he was feeling immensely lenient (I never said just killing and kicking the pirate was a bad thing, mind..).
The sexorcism story is complicated. On one hand, if you are playing 40k, you have to be upfront and actively opt out of some of the content that may or may not be the norm in the typical Dnd games. But you also can’t get assmad when some allegedly unfair thing happens to your character because that’s how 40k works. Inquisitors would 100% murk you for trying to bang a possessed person and then they’d kill the possessed. But I will admit the DM did kind of handle it in a very deus ex machina type of way which I would steer clear from in any TTRPG but especially a brutal game like 40k
Let's be honest, critical role, and many other live actual plays, are scripted. That's not saying that every single thing that happens is scripted, but, in general, there is a designated end goal, and several designated stepping Stones. It's the filler and the actual goings on that are not scripted. In much a similar fashion as to professional wrestling.
Y'know, that AI story almost makes me want to use my REAL artistic skills to make DnD specific Pictaros so if anyone needs a Token of their DnD character and can't draw, they can just use the pictaro to make their character. They just need to look up the Race specific Pictaro. (For those of you who don't know, a Pictaro is kind of like a "dress up" game, but you get to customize how the character looks entirely from skin tone to facial details, to clothes and accessories)

If we're going to stop it, we need to figure out why people become conflict averse and work on both prevention and cure, especially given how much it's bound to be affecting their lives in others areas too, not just when roleplaying.
Doing horizontal tango with a demon in 40k?
Clearcut case of Heresy.
Even the nicest Inqisitors would show no mercy here
I think in Dark Heresy, having sex with a demon would probably mutate you.
the 40 K thing is pretty logical, If I were an inquisitor finding a member of my team consorting with a daemon, I'd order the same.... I don't know what hentai suggested the sexorcism to the player, but 40K is a lot darker and grittier than that.
Hey Doge! Tbf means “to be fair”🤝
As a 40k lore enthusiast yes that's exactly how an Inquisitor would act
7 minutes ago? Wild I caught this one so early! Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for the upload to get me through the morning😊😊
I'm going to have to disagree with you (and agree with most of the comments) to say the DM was being fully fair by killing the horny PC and saving the other two. The faction the PCs were working for have a literal "kill it with fire" policy on anyone who interacts with demons in any way other than "kill it" or "study it so we can kill it" (and the later might still get you shot if you take to long to get to the kill stage) so it makes full sense in-universe for this to happen and the party would have been aware of it.
Opie implied that they knew exactly what the DM was doing
Things like scenario 2 are easely avoided by a DM with a spine. They would hate me soo much, punishing them at every corner after shutting it down after 1 attempt. Their new character would start with only what the party gives him.
Oh grand and powerful DnD Doge… Lull me to slumber with your wondrous voice of tale telling!
Cast Charm Person on me and steal my heart!
Strike me with every Evocation spell in your arsenal so I may know your wrath!
So magic! Much wizardry!
It would be an honor to lay prone before your throne with offerings of magical boons of all rarities!
All love to the mighty Doge! Love this channel!
I have a feeling the player in that last story probably didn't have his girlfriend for very long after that.
Also, the barbarian adds Lesbian Fetishizaion to his list of crimes. How fun!
@@LucyBean42 Yeah, that too.
Ah, lovely little kittens in a basket - yep it's Monday and Doge time!
I cast " *FIREBALL* !" on the like button, even before the Doge-Clan Tabaxi appear!😸🥰😋
I count painting 40k minis as artistic talent. I took some classes as dragoncon and continue to improve my skills. It’s improved my traditional painting skills as well.
Intro: Alice and Lucky! Or is the black cat Ziggy? Doesn't matter; "Like" button activate! Eight stories? Perfect! I have laundry to fold!
"AI 'Art'"--Yikes! We needed an emergency kitty psychic damage repair after that one!
"Character Farming"--Agreed. Maybe a fun trick if allowed as a one-off, but the sooner that bud is nipped, the better.
"Critical Role Fangirls"--They expect a Matt Mercer DM, but don't want to observe the same rules of etiquette his players follow (loose as they apparently are).
"The Implication"--Gross! It's best not to even associate with anyone who doesn't see a problem with sexual coercion, even in make believe. Who was that DM anyway, Harvey Weinstein?
"Murderhobo"--That's not how PTSD works... Also, if "that's what your character would do," either 1. Play a different character or 2. Play that character somewhere else.
"Too Many People"--The earlier this is clarified, the better. It's fair to point out there was never an allowance for "plus ones," much less endless chain invites.
"Sexorcism"--Ending that with lots of fire seemed thematically appropriate. Moving on...
"Erotic Fanfic"--I began hating this story from the title forward. Just because incel fantasy anime exists doesn't mean anyone has to watch it. Let it die.
This episode needed more cat intermissions.
who the fuck uses the word "succulent" to describe a dress?
It's been used at times in the past, but it's rare to hear it.
I thought succulents were a plant
@@cheemsdrip7478 but it's also used to describe something tasty and appetizing.
Writers with small vocabularies who trust their thesauri a little too much.

A sister of battle and a psyker walk somewhere alone....
Story #1 - That Dave put these pics on a separate account ,which he did NOT share with the Players ,says quite loudly that he KNEW that they would object. Ee-yewww. It's stories like these that make me think there should be some kind of "Stranger Danger" protocol in RPG groups.
Story #2 - Dealing with this, a *major* problem I see is that whomever the Character sold their soul to would have a vested interest in keeping that individual around to serve their own purposes. So whomever killed them would be a person of .... "interest" (and we all know what THAT means). I'd add, it is very plausible that the 'sponsors' secretly "tagged" their guy's cyberware, so if he dies or disappears, whomever they find with the goods will be in a lot of trouble. Okay, the goods were sold? Simple, that corp goes after whomever they find with it, and then starts backtracking. Which means that not only is the corp gunning for that Character, but also whomever the Character sold that cyberware TO.
There's also a matter of simple economics. If corporations start losing way too many people this way, odds are they are going to be a lot more careful. They're not just going to keep pouring money down the drain, that much is certain. Tougher entry requirements, more control, greater enforcement of loyalty, etc..
Story #3 - "This is NOT Critical Role - and you both should either leave OR learn to *STFU* !!!!!!!!!"
Story #5 - CONSEQUENCES, first and foremost for any murderhoboing. Don't soft kick, that's cowardly. Boot, tell them why, and block immediately, so MAYBE they'll learn something.
Story #6 - Experience has shown me that the optimum size range for any RPG group is somewhere between four and seven Players. A lot depends on the system and the DM, but too few can mean gaps in what the Characters can manage, and too many means chaos and people getting side-lined. I like Pathfinder, but it is a complex system, and the numbers talked about here would be flat-out unmanageable.
If not wanting to turn anyone away, the best that could possibly be done here is to tell the entire group there are way too many for one game, and split them into separate groups. Each separate group run by a different DM or, if only one DM, run on different nights. That's the only way, as I see it.
Story #7 - The DM handled this as well as could have been managed, all things considered. Pirate was repeatedly told that his "sexorcism" was NOT going to work, and that it was a generally bad idea (sudden horrific visions of daemonic STDs, yikes!!!!!). Entirely on him, no sympathy whatsoever..
Why did u skipp number 4
Prob with makin bg3 as avatar token, it cost 60 bucks that someone has to do all the portraits or at least have everyone spend 60 for themselves or for others as well.
Intro: Oh boy. This is gonna be spicy.
A young Alice and Lucky. Awwww.
Story 1: Oh yeah; this is gonna be spicy.
Boo on using AI! Booo!
CREEP ALERT!
Heroforge is my go to for character token creation. As well as Pinterest and other image search pages.
Story 2: That was... interesting and entertaining.
Story 3: Ah, yes; the Matt Mercer effect strikes again.
Poor Matt Mercer.
"Does this face look like Matt Mercer? Am I Matt Mercer? Are you a trained professional actor? Ar there cameras here to record our session?"
Story 4: Oh, god. (Mashes abort button). DM license revoked!
Story 5: Ohh boy. A that girl. Boot the drama queen!
Story 6: Do what I did. Multi-party campaign! Also, oh god. WTF player. Cancel!
Story 7: I don't need to hear the rest of the story. (Loads bolter and preps heavy flamer with heretical cleansing intent) Heretics get deleted. It's probably an H, not an anime the idiot got the idea from. Reward for tolerance is heresy and betrayal.
Story 8: Sigh. Da fuq. Barbarian wanted a harem. What was going on in their head?!?! Besides the horny. (Horny bonk) H strikes again. Sigh.
I use AI Art generation to get a basis and idea to realize my own character concepts
So I can know what they look like
Sometimes I share them with others
That being said
I know the risks of the algorithm being abused and making a metric ton of NSFW pictures in the time it takes me to piss
And a lot of them can be very disrespectful and disturbing
That 1st story is clever AF. And you really cant stop it. Think about it, all they did was have a controlled death and the equipment WOULD be split with the party or they poof which isnsilly unless like eaten whole. What if instead they get themselves killed in combat? Theres games that have many PC deaths NOT on purpose. 🤔
Been listening to you for about 2 weeks now and have really been enjoying it.
There are LOTS of fucked up people out there lol
The cyber punk exploit is so easily dealt with tho if you want to 1. Make them loose humanity for killing their friends 2. All the cyberware is broken bc you just killed it’s owner while they had it on and your gear is badly damaged from the fight
Only thing i ever disliked about Cyberpunk Red was the only group i ever played it with kept trying to force me to play a Medtec, because i couldnt decide what i wanted to play. They also would never hear of me playing a Netrunner. Months after just quitting that group, I started playing Cyberpunk 2077. I know it's not completely identical, but I now know, Netrunner IS my playstyle. I think I'd dumpstat gun skills for better stealth though.
That was indeed the correct response
Comment for the cats. Just watch out for cats with yellow bandanas..
Too much cuteness?
To be fair, in Dragon Age Origins. There is a similar situation to the Sexorcism. If you send your character to meet the Demon. You can fight, intimidate, or let the demon keep the victim. You could convince the demon to leave and sleep with your character.
"The Implication" is... that's actually not very many steps away from rape. That's actually horrifying.
Definitely harassment.
Judging by the name of the title, regulations for AI are not coming as fast as we wish ...
Also... why people feel the need to do their sexual fantasies in DnD? Or in any table top game? We live in an era where people overshare way to mush, rebel against it by being more private about your personal stuff. I guess its a thing to involve people, some get a kick of it, but it's still rude and inappropriate to do that.
I, too, wish to ask my -betters- legislators to regulate things they have no business regulating for reasons entirely unrelated to the actual event.
AI isn't the problem with this. Any competent artist could have done the same thing - do you propose to regulate the ability to draw too, just because someone could draw porn of people they know with it, or do you think you might, _maybe,_ find that you're aiming a little too broadly.
@@stevenschnepp576 Until someone releases compromising AI about you I guess XD
Most won't recognize something is a problem until it bites them. AI may not be the problem, but how people use it should definitely be regulated.
@@fmor2779 maybe people should just learn to not post their photos on the net. Anyone could always Photoshop their heads in porn, let's not pretend it's a AI problem in origin
@@leonelegender Or maybe there should be regulations because, just like in many other aspects like copyright infringement, or defamation, doing that is considered a CRIME. Does it bother you because... perhaps to you it would be inconvenient? To make things like that easy? Maybe it bothers you because you support that wrongful type of use? Hmmm?
It's not 'overly attached' to care about what happens to your character; there's not really any point in playing a character in the first place if you don't care what happens to them, just as there's little point in watching a movie if you don't care what happens to the people in it. The 'Eight fatal words' are: "I don't care what happens to these people," after all.
I'm guessing there's a difference between being invested in a character and having a breakdown over potential character death. Like there's a healthy amount of investment.
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame the DM's victim for what happened. I just understand what they mean by over invested.
Just based on the title, this sounds like a new low.
On the cyberpunk red story, thats a hard no, the system focuses on the lack of resources, so allowing players to generate free money (or to be more specific, unrestricted items, since one the game starts you cannot get every item, you gotta go through a fixer, which introduces more story beats), by allowing this you are not only breaking the economy of the game, setting 2 players to be op (if they dont share) but letting them know they can get away with metagaming
Story 4 made me cry. Im dead serious.
I am the kind of person who has a lot of original characters. I get even more attached than she did.
What that man did FEELS like rape. This is coming from a csa survivor. What he did feels like sexual assault. He used threats and a power imbalance to try and forcibly screw somebody who didnt want it. Even if it was in fiction.. That feels like a form of sexual abuse.
That poor girl. I could've ended up in prison for assault if I had been there because I would have slapped the shit out of him. I genuinely don't know how nobody got up and beat his ass, or at least started screaming when she cried.
,,, Maybe I'm just protective when I see creepy guys. I'm AFAB and the kind of person to get in between a creep and a scared woman regardless of if he could beat my ass. But holy shit.
What he did is so far beyond evil. How the fuck could he ever claim to love her. How could he even claim to CARE about her. He emotionally tortured her and likely turned her off D&D for the rest of her life, and he got away with it. Oh my god.
Cyberpunk game: that is not really any smarter than rolling up d&d characters and having the party keep killing themselves off for exp. Money in that game is generally how characters advance, so that seems more disruptive than anything.
You also run into the issue of that game has injuries taking a long time to heal (up to a week to fully heal), so it moves the job back a week. Possibly missing their first job, if the dm is running a time line.
"Selling one's soul" is just going into debt, so it kind of negates the point of it as an rp hook if you just have a character commit suicide to get out of it... meh? Their game.
Some of the Creepy DM's need to have a RL rule, if they get too creepy or say sht like "women shouldn't play" then the other players get to force them to swallow a D20 in repentance.
Oh hey I used BG3 to make tokens for my friends. Well one of them made her own and i copied it for screenshots but i made the other three and a couple NPCs that way
IDK what Crit Roll is, never seen it, but this is like the 3rd story I've heard where people go in expecting it to be like the DnD shows like Dropout, or that animated DnD thing the Rick and Morty/Community guy had.
Critical Role is a DND live play series where famous voice actors like Liam O Brien, Laura Bailey, Matt Mercer, Talesin Jaffe, and Marisha Ray play DND with occasional guest players here and there.
You should give your model the toe beans!
The sexorcism is from a manga, there are 2 that I know of
Okay, but an endless supply of hotheaded idiots killing each other over a cheesy codename and leaving behind a shitton of money to loot sounds hilarious.
In the Sexorcism story, I feel the GM doesn't get the universe and is buckling under the weight of player agency.
The Inquisitor would have killed the entire party reflexively, and justly so, unless he was feeling immensely lenient (I never said just killing and kicking the pirate was a bad thing, mind..).
well, r34 is parody and parody is protected under free use, so there's legally nothing wrong with that.
He was right, the kitty cats did in fact work
that first story is why ppl dont like AI art at least the bigger reasons r.r
Kitties are the perfect solution for likes
I liked because of the cat you caught me 😔
The sexorcism story is complicated. On one hand, if you are playing 40k, you have to be upfront and actively opt out of some of the content that may or may not be the norm in the typical Dnd games. But you also can’t get assmad when some allegedly unfair thing happens to your character because that’s how 40k works. Inquisitors would 100% murk you for trying to bang a possessed person and then they’d kill the possessed. But I will admit the DM did kind of handle it in a very deus ex machina type of way which I would steer clear from in any TTRPG but especially a brutal game like 40k
Yknow I'm actually more of a "Mr. X" type-
"Save her" r.ping her......right
Ai porn in all caps will forever kill me ☠️☠️
27:48 Naw, that dude was watching straight up hentai. That sort of thing sounds more at home in porn than an actual anime.
Why is it always someone named Dave??? (I have my very own Dave in my group).
I liked for the cats.
Let's be honest, critical role, and many other live actual plays, are scripted. That's not saying that every single thing that happens is scripted, but, in general, there is a designated end goal, and several designated stepping Stones. It's the filler and the actual goings on that are not scripted. In much a similar fashion as to professional wrestling.
I mean don't you need a LITTLE BIT of planning for sessions to even work?
@@easiestcc6451 yes, but there's just a little more planning for streamed shows. Your home game, probably has all (most of) the filler off the cuff.
Like DnD modules.
What game is shown in the background please?
What is the need of constantly say "AI quote art" or advocating against it's like is somehow the tool's fault?
Is it just me, or does one of the ashes look like a bug at first

Y'know, that AI story almost makes me want to use my REAL artistic skills to make DnD specific Pictaros so if anyone needs a Token of their DnD character and can't draw, they can just use the pictaro to make their character. They just need to look up the Race specific Pictaro. (For those of you who don't know, a Pictaro is kind of like a "dress up" game, but you get to customize how the character looks entirely from skin tone to facial details, to clothes and accessories)
Obligatory comment for kitties
My violence inhibitors are a joke. No, really. I only keep them enabled because of how funny they are
Last time a guy tried SA at our table, he ended up with 2 black eyes and no friends.
Curious why that guy didn't try crying assault to the police.
Oh Gosh, that title. Why does AI have to infect EVERYTHING nowadays 😂
A lack of AI regulation does that.
@@easiestcc6451 oh yeah it does. E everyone's too focused on the "can we do it" rather than asking "should we"
Likes for the kitties!!!
People always giving us Daves a bad name. Luckily I'm not that into generative AI outside of making ChatGPT write the stupidest TV show pitch bibles I can think of for fun when I'm bored, but I don't share those with people unless they make me laugh.
