Title made me think it was a story about someone escaping with their in-game character's life, because the character traded away shoes... Boy was I wrong.
same
ditto
I thought it was a real like event, but I was hoping so much it would be an in-game thing.
Honestly I was hoping the same. But the thumbnail picture showing a living room and what looked like a D&D game was giving me no hope.
@@FletcherPatton I was hopping it would be a meta story.
Be careful with your drinks, folks. Stay away from dark liquids when visiting public or private settings and please pay attention to the taste. If your coke ends up having a minty, or any other unusual taste to it, run. They tried to sedate the OP of this story *twice*.
Shame he didn't have the chance to grab the bottle on his way out. That evidence could have made sure those monsters never get out of jail, hell that bitch who brought the water should be in jail for it.
@@Lrbearclaw cops found the drug anyway :)
Now that's just icing on the cake.
Yep! It's much better to get your own drink, and drink it all at once, so you don't need to take another sip, until you're ready to get your own new drink. That way, you don't have it sitting out, all available for tampering.
It's never your fault if evil people target you for their evil actions. If you can't protect yourself, it is still and always on THEM.
That said, if you CAN protect yourself, please do so, because you may not be so lucky as OP was. You may not be saved.
It is "not your job" to take every precaution in the encyclopedia to protect yourself from villains, and anyone who says it is is an accomplice to the villains, in my mind. It's not even possible to take ALL the precautions they tell you to, especially when so many of them simply contradict each other. Still, it's good to do what you can, when you can.
So infuriating. I’m glad OP is safe. As a southerner, these stories hurt. It’s that kind of trash that gives us a bad rep, and keeps those symbols as hate images. I was dreading this the entire time. I’m glad OP got that warning, even if it was because that one jerk was just looking out for himself and clearly wouldn’t have cared if he thought they’d get away with it.
See , I agree however to me it seems like weak link is named such because he didn’t want to kill anyone . He probably went along with it just because they pressured him . Which is why they called him a race traitor at the end
@@izraelburgess937 I disagree. Judging by the question of if he would be missed and the response after the answer its clear he was looking out for his own freedom and just didn't want to get arrested.
He was definitely a neo nazi as well if he is hanging out with a group that is willing to murder someone.
Seriously as a Southerner myself I would love nothing more than if people like these didn't exist. I cannot comprehend how someone could be dumb enough to be a Neo-Nazi. Smallest brained people on the planet that make flat earthers look intelligent.
@@Watcher-in-the-Dark I agree. I honestly wonder
1. Why the confederate flag is not illegal (I mean it is illegal to have any flag above the American so I was confused about that part of OPs story).
2. How Americans can like the Germany terrorist group resposible for the holocaust and the death of thousands of Americans.
3. What the confederacy has to do with Nazis (I feel this was infered, though I'm not sure)
4. How the family didn't ge arrested on attempted murder charges
5. How defending a gay has anything to do with being a "race traitor"
6. So I don't support homosexuality, but how is killing someone not a million times worse?
I am a Southerner as well and stories like these are so astounding that I almost don't believe them, or at least I really don't want to believe then as the thought of these types of people existing irl makes me nauseous.
@@dylanmcloughlin2187 I think I can answer some questions.
1. 1st amendment.
2. cults prey on weak minded people and/ or people in a broken state to help grow ranks.
3. nothing but how both groups are bundled together as racial extremists.
4. sadly lots of murder cases need specific undisputable evidence, I am not saying this story is false, I am saying that it is not enough evidence.
5. hating two different thing and just lumping them together to make hating easier.
6. it is worse, but people will justify it to make it easier to commit.
I do believe the events did happen, but I do think the author of the events are exaggerating and/ or misrecalling events.
This man is blessed with a high passive perception and it saved his life. always remember people. If you feel something is off there's bad things about to happen. Especially when the DM asks "are you sure you want to do that? "
That question should ALWAYS raise a red flag, because no DM asks it needlessly. Whether it's your own actions in error, or them just not liking what you're about to do or whatever, it's always a warning of some kind.
Always trust your gut, it saved my life on occasion in Iraq
I think the guy who explicitly told him hes about to get murdered is to blame for his lack of deadness
@Cody Allen you should try getting your group to do a Lovecraftian horror campaign
@Cody Allen a sanity meter, if possible. Things like illusions lower it, while things that comfort people raise it. Low sanity could increase the chance of hallucinations, and critical misses in battle
This was the most intense D&D related story I've ever heard, I'm gonna need a while to process all of this.
Same
You're very fortunate. The places I've been in life... none of this surprises me at all. It's awful, but definitely not unheard of.
@@Werebitch_Lanoire I've heard many stories, to the point that I feel it shouldn't surprise me, but it never changes. Whenever I hear a story this harrowing, this visceral, my stomach sinks.
@@jerewii3797 I think that's a pretty clear sign that you have good qualities (empathy, a conscience, etc.) Never let that change. 🙂
Same. That's why I'm reading all the comments. Just to process, before I can move on to another story.
Oh god, I'm so relieved he made it out. And what he said was true, the fact that his godfather was a cop that checks on cops saved his life.
Yeah, no way he'd have gotten a warning if he hadn't dropped that fact.
Related to that, i was so shocked by the "Yeah, would he miss you of you died?" Oh i don't know dude, what are you expecting?
That and the fact we HAVE cops who check on cops.
"Would he miss you if you died?" WHAT THE HECK?! OF COURSE HE WOULD!
Yeah, there are people who play D&D in jail. It’s hard without the sourcebooks and all you have is the starter kit. Sometimes people just homebrew their own system.
Some places don't even allow you to have dice, but anything for escapism.
One of my players come from learning in jail lol
I've heard some jails ban them, because they "can be used as code for planning future heists or escape attempts:
One of my old players spent some time in jail; she'd talk about how they'd write numbers on slips of paper in a hat in place of dice.
@@spamuel98 I play a card game that's got a similar mechanic with coins. Arkham Horror the Card Game.
What breaks my heart even more is the story teller blaming themselves for not noticing the red flags
It's fairly common, mostly because when you look back at the situation it all seems so much easier to process things with the potential outcome in mind. In the moment, you're never thinking about what things could mean. Even a lot of the other big red flags he did a good job of explaining away - they were all common enough where he was growing up.
I mean realistically it's not his fault, and there's no way he could have predicted the future, but very often that's not how our brain takes it.
How is the story teller blaming himself? He didn't say anything like "This was my fault, I should've realized it was a bad idea."
@@SaltpeterTaffy At the end of the story, he literally says it's his fault for not seeing the red flags.
@@IvySorh Hmmm. "Theirs and mine." I don't think he meant fault literally in his own case. He is trying to extract a valid lesson for himself from the experience. He's obviously not saying that he is as responsible as they are.
Ah the C.C.C.P. logo
Holyfuck. I hadn't even thought of these problems. I'm thinking of getting back in as a DM and suddenly the Game Store is looking way more desirable as a venue.
You can do it but it's hard to beat the bible belt for insane batshit crazy.
Let's give an applause to weak link for being too much of a coward to kill a man but brave enough to do the right thing and save someone else's life
I’d argue it takes far more courage for weak link to do what he did. He was completely willing to take brunch if their rage in order to save a guy.
What he did to save someone else's life means he had a conscience and a moral code that does not include murder. He would rather risk the ire and wrath of his "buddies" than be subject to a slam dunk murder conviction which would be elevated as a hate crime because OP was a gay male. I think he figured that either way, he was screwed, but had a better chance of getting out alive by allowing OP to escape and bring the authorities on their asses.
I wouldn't be surprised if Weak Link took a plea deal if his "buddies" didn't kill him first.
Yeah, he was in a bad position. He had to either go along with murder, or betray people he knew were committed to commit murder. Best outcome for him is a beating and OP witnessing that he saved his life. Followed by relocation to somewhere where that won't be hanging over his head forever; because you know the others will take it out on weak link.
You seem to think he did to save ops life, I'm afraid that is incorrect. The only reason he said anything was he know there was a high chance to get arrested as he said that his godparent was in international affairs. He did hoping to save his own ass, if he did it to save ops life he never would have asked if the cop would miss him if they were gone.
@@christophermcewen4571 like I said, he would rather face the wrath of his "friends" than be subject to a slam dunk murder conviction. He seems like the type who would take a plea deal to get a reduced sentence
Oh god....this story....
Oh jeez on my phone and clicked this video your comment was the first I saw, think I will wait when I get home to watch
@@patriousthefallenknight3185 probably a good idea that you waited.
Ah yes, another reason to stay strapped.
This sort of shit leaves me terrified. There are people who wonder why it's still hard to come out. And this shit reminds me that every interaction with someone is potentially a life-risking moment.
Solidarity, & much respect. I'm out, proud, & rather loud, but I DEFINITELY understand why some choose not to be.
Most people aren't like this though and you shouldn't live with a fear as if they exist everywhere. I grew up in the south, Florida. Around a similar like area with churches on every corner and confederate flags. However it doesn't mean their Nazi's like in this story.
Even if they may judge you or dislike you, most won't hurt or kill you.
Still be safe of course, but don't let fear rule your life.
Agreed.
@@Watcher-in-the-Dark it takes one. You don’t get a back up character in real life.
Yeah, no, I wouldn't go to someone's house that I'd only met a couple times. I'm glad he got out of there in one piece, and justice was served. I'm also happy that my life experiences up till now meant that "Red Laces" confused me, as I've never heard of it before. I know ghetto people are all about their strangely expensive shoes, but I was unaware that the color of the laces could mean something.
Yea I had no idea red shoelaces meant anything
The gangs in my home country do something similar (though not with a neo-nazi motivation). As part of my sociology course at uni, we studied gang signals and behaviours, and this included what they wear.
They often intentionally wear expensive clothing items, like nice shoes/jackets, or have these unique "rewards" (like red laces) to entice younger kids/teens into wanting to join their ranks. Like a "see all this cool stuff? It could be yours too one day". Shoes are the most common "calling card" of the gangs, with some gangs even having specific brands they use to identify themselves (which they use almost to "promote" their group to the younguns) Knowing these signs and what they mean have helped one of my own friends escape with their life as well before (when you're in a place where everyone seems to be dressed very similar except you/a few other people, and that similarity in dress code isn't expected for the place, it's better not to be in that place anymore)
I think the boot lace color system is specifically a Neo-Nazi thing, at least in my experience, though many groups - illegal and otherwise - have used clothing & tatoos to send coded messages relating one's affiliation, rank, status, & accomplishments.
I'm not so sure it was. They were charged with rather minor shit for an attempted murder. I'd say they borderline got off scott free.
@@Werebitch_Lanoire the lace thing is major in punk and skinhead scenes. Red and/or White laces are neo-nazis or white supremacists. The red laces usually mean you’ve killed an “enemy” of the white race. Purple laces are LGBT, yellow laces are anti-racist, black is unaffiliated. Most punks and skinheads are the non racist type, but those that are are kind of terrifying.
Holy shit. This was a rough one. I used to hear stories like this all the time when I was in social work for teens in gangs.
This genuinely scared me. It's really messed up that these kind of people still exist in the world.
me too
i just hope we can stop some of the back-swing. if don't understand you haven't been paying attention these past 2+ years.
@@draxomega Which back-swing are you referring to? The one where those on the left side are becoming radical and violent, or the one where some people on the right side are going back this kind of thinking?
@@Thescott16 left
@@draxomega It's been going on for longer than 2 years, it was just "contained" to things like social media harassment, biased censorship protocols, and cancel culture.
It was only during Trump's presidency that they were been encouraged by big tech and emboldened the mainstream media to take action and do what they've been doing to discredit the president that went against the grain. Even if you don't live in the US (which I don't) because the big-tech companies like Twitter, facebook and Google (which includes RUclips) are all American companies, their cultural and political machinations intended to sabotage Trump also spilled out into the rest of the world and have had direct affects on other countries political and cultural landscapes.
They've deliberately shifted the Overton Window of half the world.
Hey AllThingsD&D! Ignore the nay sayers and whiners! Reading this story might actually save someone’s life for all we know. It NEEDS to be read by as many people as possible even with the heavier shit! Keep posting whatever you see fit and your real fans will love you all the same!
YES! Real-life stories, or warnings about in-game issues, they all give valuable lessons for those who follow.
A smart person learns from their own mistakes. A genius learns from the mistakes of others.
Never before has the saying:
"No DnD is good DnD."
Fit the situation any better.
I hope OP doesn't have trust issues or ptsd after that and has remained safe.
Wow of all of the D&D horror stories I've heard of, this one takes the Horror Cake!
Yeah, I'll take a That Guy any day over this.
Real people play DND. Some are good, some are in the middle, and some people wish weren't even on planet earth any more. Ideologies are fought with ideologies that are better. Let's promote a safer, happier world where people help each other instead of prey upon each other. Be kind, y'all!
Shaking with rage.
ever get that sinking feeling in your gut, as if an unseen DM whispered in your ear, "Are you sure you want to do that?"
Part of me hopes this story was made up (or at least seriously embellished), part of me fears it may indeed be true.
Indeed. Parts of it reek with the left leaning political mindset in terms, however the context is horrific no matter what side of politics you land on. This had a happy end because the OP was wise in a dangerous situation (yes one he walked into). Always know who you are going to spend time with and trust based upon evidence. The “weak link” is not always a given side character of our stories and isn’t always provided like a DM asking “are you sure you want to do that?”
@@xianartman Yes, "are you sure you want to do that" exists to keep the game fun. Life doesn't care if you are having fun.
Even so I have seen many a player walk right into an "are you sure" without a care in the world. I even had an inexperienced DM break one of my characters once even after I asked, "Are you sure you want to mind control my character? You'll be forcing her to break her Paladin Oath".
@San Shinobi Riiight. So how is the guy in *this story* not a fuckng Nazi? Sorry man, but if there's any "left-wing politics" here. then I want no part of whatever's to the right of that.
@San Shinobi
Somebody commented on the "left-wing politics" of *this story*, someone else commented that being against Nazis isn't a partisan thing, and then you start talking about how the terminology got stretched.
Is there any connection between your comment and the video it's commenting on?
@@Leafy1-j1l 'I found the biggot dad!'
Dad: 'yup... still let it go, it's a small fry'
I at first thought and hoped the title would refer to an in game character escape, boy was I so wrong!
I'm filled with rage at this point, to believe that someone would actually do this, cheerful that op got out quite safely and those people got what they deserved, a bit sad for the dude who in the end helped him get away.
I would imagine that he got a reduced sentence for having a conscience by giving the OP a chance to escape. That and he seems like the type that would take a plea deal to reduce the sentence.
It's always weird how people don't think gay people like manly men. What? This guy that's into men is into menly men? What is this witchcraft??
Not quite what they meant. He was masculine. And nazi and dumb people think gay men are all feminine.
It's still weird asf
@@KhaoticKiNG It's part of what I meant. Because those people usually also assume ALL gay people are feminin, aka they can only be into feminin people.
Pretty funny, the ancient Greeks thought that the ultimate in manliness was to be with another man.
@@brushdogart To quote "because what's manlier, then another man?"
I heard tarped room and immediately thought "oh fuck that's messed up."
At least this story has a good ending
The amount of rage I'm feeling towards those... arses... Will be very hard to quell at this moment.
I'm glad the original poster got out alive and I hope all but the one who told him to run got to rot in jail.
Based on the story, I still think he did some time, but not nearly as much as his "friends" because A. He gave OP a way to escape B. Based on his reasoning with OP as to why he wants OP to escape, seems like the type of person that would take a plea deal
Funny how weak link dude is only worried about getting in trouble, not for, you know, doing the wrong thing.
My thoughts exactly. He was only concerned when OP mentioned that their godfather was in IA.
Weak link met a bad end
@@ibrav7979 Good.
@@ibrav7979 Can you confirm? Got a link to the story?
@@ibrav7979 what happened? Killed by his "friends" in retaliation?
I would imagine that he still got in trouble, but took a plea deal to reduce his sentence.
I've heard this story before and the phrase "red laces" still gives me chills. I'm all too familiar with that hammer skin crap. The Norse religion is big with them as they see it as free from middle-eastern influence. Yeah, they shun Christianity because Jesus isn't white enough for them. Many people I've met who are of Norse decent and follow the Norse gods hate the appropriation of their faith by Neo-Nazis. Nazis are a terrifying lot!
They are a threat, but we must not fear them. We must make fun of them. We must piss them off.
The more we fear them, the more they will be took seriously and then, they can recruit more.
@@misakitakazaki8951 I like this approach!
This is my first time hearing about that. It sucks because I love mythology, Norse included. It's annoying to say the least about the thought of these a-holes appropriating such a fascinating mythos into their garbage-spewing hate culture.
Wow, I knew about their Norse veneration, but not the reason!
Are they aware that the eddas, though reflecting to some extent pre-Christian beliefs, were recorded at a time in which Christianity was a major influence, and that there is (or, last I looked into it, was) some debate as to whether Loki was originally a major deity, or was a minor deity that Christians (or at least those influenced by Christian beliefs) elevated and twisted to fulfill a more Lucifer-like roll? So much for being free of Judaic influence.
It's hard to say what they know. People can be really good at dismissing or even outright denying things that are true but don't fit into their narrative.
This is sickening. I'm furious that this happened. The OP is seriously lucky to have gotten out of this. I'm just glad that the people involved were arrested. Knowing one of them was a cop both confirms that cops suck, and makes me worried that they didn't serve nearly enough time.
@San Shinobi I'm sorry but I'm not in the habit of licking boots.
@@Zivillyn I mean if you watched the vid having a cop god father literally saved his life. Does that cop suck too? lol
@@Exarch_Of_Justice He DIDN'T save a life. OP got out of that situation before his involvement. And until all systemic issues, such as overmilitarization and prejudice against marginalized groups, all cops who do not actively hold their fellows to a higher standard are a part of the problem. So yes, all cops are bastards.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the bravery of Rouge here? Yea he may have been involved, but he did the right thing and probably got the crap kicked out of him afterwards. Massive kudos to him stepping up to protect OP.
This is hands down the most disturbing story I've heard.
I had someone ask if I wanted to go play D&D in the woods with machetes once.
I declined.
After listening to this I'm pretty sure I made the right decision.
I would say so
I just finished this video and I am still shaking...
This DnD horror story is, to this date, the scariest I've heard.
This has got to be one of the most horrifying D & D stories I have ever heard. Thank goodness OP made it out okay!
I normally really dislike episodes about bad players or DMs but for this one I'll make an exception. I'm really glad that player got out of there! Be safe, y'all!
Me:
This story can't possible be that scary, or bad...
Me, five minutes in:
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
This is horrifying! It puts me in mind of that first story in Gavin de Becker's "The Gift of Fear." After he raped her, he closed the window, before going to the kitchen, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just going to get a glass of water."
She didn't understand it in the moment, but the fact he closed the window tipped her off. He was going to kill her, and wanted to block the screens. So, she quietly followed him, staying in his blind spot, as he went straight for the drawers to grab a knife. She slipped out and went to the neighbor's house, while he went back to the bedroom, to finish the job, only to find it empty.
I am SO GLAD that the OP listened to his gut. And I am SO SAD that people like those monsters exist at all, let alone in my country. And they probably chose him just because he "passes for straight." I actually get the feeling they would have left him alone, had he been more stereotypically gay, because they would have thought, "Oh, that would be an obvious hate crime. We need to find a (insert your most hated gay-slur here) that we can kill, without anyone thinking it's us, or because he's a (insert your second-most-hated gay-slur here). Someone we think deserves to die, but won't be directly linked to us, yeah!"
Ugh! Thank God, OP had that cop friend, especially as a god-parent! Wow!
This is fucked up, be mindful and never get complacent.
Complacency kills.
Glad they made it out safely.
Actually...y'know, living in a southern state, I have to ask...
What the *hell* is a "segregated" radio station?
As someone who also lives in the south I'm not entirely sure.
@A guy named Chris thank you for the info.
a station that has seperate channels for blacks/whites and its considered pubicly wrong to listen to the others races channels they only played music from whites in the white channels and blacks in the black channel(i grew up in an area with something called that and they did this)
@@chaoslordnicky9723 That's weird. They're weird.
Holy crap that's terrifying. Glad you got out there and they were busted. I couldn't imagine what id do in that situation.
That's a realistically horrifying story that could've ended in kidnapping + murder. Yikes. That's traumatizing & hopefully that guy is still safe.
This sounds like something straight out of an outlandish horror movie. Can't believe these things actually happen
That is fucking terrifying. Grats on the story poster for making it out alive and getting those bastards caught D:
Man oh man, a honest-to-goodness murder attempt. Remember when this channel told us about wacky necromancers and clever GM tricks?
I miss those days.
This shouldve been titled that time I survived a murder attempt.
On behalf of the _sane_ parts of the South, I'd like to offer an apology to the OP. Unfortunately, it's hard to catch scum like this until they slip up, which you pray happens quickly.
For my part, my one-and-only WoD group (VtM) was held at the home of a _very_ openly gay couple. (heh) I still remember one awareness day (I forget which), the half of the couple that gamed with us solemnly informed us that he was gay.
I just looked calmly around at all of the artistic black-and-white photos of men in underwear hanging on every wall of the game room... then turned back to him and deadpanned, "Gee. What a shock."
Once he stopped laughing, the Storyteller gave me extra experience for the session. ;)
That is horrific. Some of those red flags are ones you would ignore simply because one usually doesn't expect to be MURDERED at a d&d game. Also, as good as it was that he got warned, the fact that the guy who told him had no qualms about killing him until he thought he might get caught shows that he was just as bad a person as the others, with a slightly heightened sense of self preservation.
Now that's a real horror story!
Thank goodness for Weak Link having a conscience
He didn't have a conscience. He had a moment of clarity and self-preservation, and actually said, "I don't want to go to jail."
Weak link is a better person than everyone there other than OP. He is the only one who is redeemable
Yeah, hopefully he got out of that bad crowd after all this.
I've heard a version of this story before and while some of the details are different the main ones are the same. This makes me think this is an apocryphal tale at best- kind of like tales of the hook handed killer that stalks the local lover's lane.
there are definitely some things that are a little too perfect or strange. Im betting this is fabricated for attention, unless there is any outside evidence that can support even part of it.
As I pointed out elsewhere, skinheads don't just go around randomly killing people. It makes national news when people paint swastikas or something like that, this would definitely be a huge story. Also, red laces don't mean you killed someone, it just means you've shed blood. The entire story sounds made up, especially the end.
quack quack the world is wack
Never accept food or drinks from strangers, always finish your food and drinks before looking elsewhere. If your attention is pulled away from your meal just get a new one. Better safe than sorry.
This has all the descriptions of a sundown town, and just goes to show the type of people you will see there. I implore anyone whose traveling the southern United States to avoid them like the plague.
You know, I'm not usually an advocate for violence, but I certainly wouldn't cry if a couple dozen live grenades found their way through that family's windows while they were inside.
Good thing he has high wisdom. He didn't have to rely on fort saves vs poison
I think the saddest part of this story is the fact that they didn’t get the Baldur’s Gate pun
As a former prison guard, i can confirm: They definitely played d&d. 🤣
Thank God OP went to that swingers party earlier 🙏🏿
Wow! That's nuts! :<
Still I'm glad it worked alright for him and those assholes got a bit of what they deserved!
my guy, I am so sorry that happened to you. thankfully they were got in the end.
Good thing you had one other good person there. Hopefully he is still alive as well
@A guy named Chris dude had a conflict of conscience regardless of why he still did the right thing. Weird that you would call him a weak link though like you are upset that he stop someone from getting their red laces.
Holy shit that was insane. I'm glad they still play dnd and can enjoy it, but man is that terrifying. Glad he got out and finds solace in online ttrpgs
I'm so sorry you had such a horrifying experience. Just thinking about it angers me. For multiple reasons.
Always nice to catch a story
Hope Weak Link is okay.
I think one of two things happened to Weak Link.... either he got killed by his "friends" or he got a reduced sentence via a plea deal
Holy shit, that was actually a terrifing story... i miss the feel good dnd stories...
While I haven't seen any neo Nazis, I have heard there's or was a gang of them in Oregon and that's all I know. Still that sounds like a freaky experience, was somewhat uncomfortable myself one time that a friend of mine's mom would allowed druggies to live in their basement. They were high as kites, and I didn't realize until yrs later that one of them looked like he should've been hospitalized cause he looked almost dead. But eventually got up to smoke a pipe I didn't know then what it was for. Hopefully they got arrested and got treatment and hope my friend is still doing alright, haven't heard from him in awhile and I know he was a cool guy in an unfortunate situation. He didn't seem pleased they were there, so pretty sure the druggies more or less hiding there was his mom's fault
Putting people with drug problems into the legal slavery of the US prison system is almost the complete opposite of treatment.
my heart is RACING, HOLY fuck thats terrifying
It is sad that this kind.of things is a thing. Prayers to the author 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Damn, that’s truly awful, I did not think that sort of crap thinking even still existed. Glad he got tipped off and escaped. All those people should have been arrested and the wine and water bottle should have been inspected for poison
This is very much a dnd story. More about the risks round playing the game, but still topic relevant. This is not the first time on this channel where the story has real life component that over shadows the game. I think the stakes in this one just spooked many of the viewers that were not mental ready.
Edit: May be a warning at the start of the video can turn away the squeamish viewers
Bro you need to go back and watch more vids... There are plenty of these types of stories around, on this channel none the less... It's a shame that human filth like this exist and prey on innocent people... Good on story's op for getting the hell outta there and living to write another campaign!!!
@@Hysube They know that other stories like this are on the channel. They're suggesting the horror stories in general come with a content warning, not just the occasional one here or there.
And they never said it ISN'T DnD relevant, they were actually telling the naysayers off, the people who DO complain that this is only DnD adjacent (again, this person is NOT saying it's not a DnD story, he's countering the people who do say that).
My man I basically live in a town like the one you explained. It’s pretty rough honestly.
Even the slightly redeemable one who told you to run ain't all good since he set you up in the first place and only told you to run because he didn't wanna be arrested. You either accept everyone's differences or at the bare minimum tolerate them. If you pose any danger to others like that you need to be locked up and have the key thrown away for being so set in your mind that you won't change.
Jesus Christ this is actually terrifying
Holy shit, I’m so sorry to hear this story. Glad they got caught
Start: Eh, probably being in-game or being over dramatic, no big deal.
End: ESCUSE ME, WHAT?! Jeez! This the stuff that horror movies are made of.
I'll take a 10 to avoid being brutally murdered please. Power Word Holy F*ck! I'm glad you made it brother. Stay strong, but also keep looking out for numero uno.
going to be honest I miss the stories about things like Astroshan and or the party that outsmarted the necromancer in the ooze. Or the one where the newbie was prevented from becoming a murder hoboi.
This is truly the most terrifying story I've ever heard. At least now I know to avoid anyone with red laces.
That might be a regional thing. I'm not sure. This is my first time ever hearing about it.
Specifically white people with red laces on combat boots.

This seems like something that should bring crit crab not here... This is not really a D&D stories
I agree. Apparently either the stories are drying up or people like these
@@HaloReach4TheWin yeah it's probably the stories are drying up. I mean the high point of this channel was the grey necromancer series but honestly I feel it's hard to top that
@@Blackpheonix99 I saw some over their reddit some telling stories, but feels like most are inclined of telling "horror"/player stories rather ingame stories or lore bits.
Also, this one WAS from [
r/rpghorrorstories] instead their [r/AllThingsDND] reddit, so I guess posting something there was a moot point :/
I can see what you mean, but at the same time, the story serves as a warning to be careful and mindful when going to someone's house. D&D is a relatively laidback activity, as opposed to partying, so it's easier to let your guard down a bit more. This was someone the OP knew and played with in person already, but it still could have ended horrifically. I'm a fan of having these types of stories on top of Crit Crab's other content as a reminder that D&D isn't worth the risk sometimes.
@@lissette7844 Nobody is actually complaining about THIS one in particular, as everyone said is a good cautionary tale. But this YT channels seems to be focusing solely on those kinds of stories lately ("Playing with THAT ONE GM/player", "How X being a Y ruined the game", "When players did something awful and didn't apologize/recognize it") only RELATED to D&D, instead about in-game adventures or characters/NPCs/world building lores (The Veteran Necromancer, the Grey Necromancer, Garg and the Moonslicer, How The DM Sowed Seeds Of Deception To Completely Fool The Party, Assassin Makes The Paladin Question His Morals, When Bonzy The Sad Clown Made Everyone Cry, etc.)
Sadly, I knew what it was when he mentioned the tarps. I live in Klan/Neo-Nazi territory of the North, and these sorts of things are less than 30 minutes from my home.
They called Wink Link a trailer when they them selves were trailers to the country.
this is beyond a horror story geeee !!!!
This is terrifying.
And now I'm never trusting anybody with red laces ever again.
[Looks down at my shoe]
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Neo-Nazis use the colored laces on combat boots. Red laces on sneakers doesn't mean anything to my knowledge, though the street gang known as the Bloods does use red clothing in general as an identifier - the more of it, the surer the identity.
@@Werebitch_Lanoire specifically red ladder laces on combat boots, usually doc martens. If the laces don’t cross on the way up, it’s usually someone practicing lace code. Purple is LGBT, Yellow is Anti-Racist, Blue has killed a cop, Red has killed an “enemy of the white race”, white is white supremacist
Holy hell, so glad they got out of there.
I'm kinda worried about the nice dude who helped him...
Incidentally, most prisons don't allow TTRPG being played.
POS as someone from the south they are not what we are like in general so upsetting
The setup sounds like a manuscript of the 1st draft of Pulpy Fiction.
From the title alone I just thought this was one of those dudes who REALLY likes shoes and wanted some white boi's shoes so he pulled a knife on him at the table. This was far scarier
The second I heard the bible belt I knew it was gonna be bad.
I find this extremely suspicious. You don't plan a murder where there are a untold number of witnesses of where the victim was last seen going to your house.
When ever I go to someone's house where I expect to go inside that I let someone know where I am going and that I am to contact them after a set amount of time.
This would be true, if I didn't know that people do exactly that (ie. plan something without understanding consequences outside the action itself). Just cause you can plan the "event" doesn't mean you are smart enough to realize all the consequences. (Jail time, hospital time, etc)
Also, it may not have been a murder in planning but a drug and beat the living daylight out of him. Or some other, "lets not think on it" thing.
@@stimepyc3523 Plus, from the sound of it, a good number of them were in on it--though the tarps make me suspect it was actually a murder, and not something less lethal.
@@willparry530 I agree it's possible, but if you've ever beat somebody to a bloody pulp. it's a real mess to clean up (or so I've heard). And since he would have been drugged, much easier to set up. But again we'll never know, thank whatever God you believe in for that, if any. Hopefully nothing like this ever plays out in your neck of the woods or any where!
@@stimepyc3523 Hopefully, for sure. Hadn't considered the absolute horror it is to get bloodstains out of anything (I have bled on my clothes so I know this much at least).
Yeah it's a fucking lie this chanil is just virtue signaling the woke losers.
I am SO glad that OP listened to his instincts that night. As a lesbian, the fact that stuff like this happens in our country scares the crap out of me. Neo-Nazis have no place in any society.
It's kinda sad that Weak Link probably only saved OP because of his godfather, otherwise I might say he was a decent dude. Hopefully this incident opened his eyes and he learned to become a better person, though.
Holy shit man. I don't know what happened to the other dude that was inside but he's the real MVP. The gay dude should've said to his cop friend to check on the other dude if he's missing or even alive. Mans wouldn't be here to tell this story if it wasn't for him.
And the human garbage's father was a cop. Don't people need to get their background checked before becoming an authoritive figure? Sometimes, situations like these make me wish it'd be okay to just get a gun and clean house with those oxygen wasting mouth breathers and it be written off as doing good for the community.
Oh f... i had to take a moment to relax after this story
