Yeah, Horse Girl needed to see a therapist before she tried DnD. There is a lot to unbag there and I wouldn't even know where to start. I was going to fall under the DM for not putting up much more of a fight until the part where they were actually trying to get HG to get help. Hopefully she did take the hint of doing it and actually got some help. I feel if she got the help she needed, she would be a much better person
@@lootgoblinmarketplace its not just that it's not enough. There is a difference between escapism and using dnd as a therapy. By doing that the latter they force the others to have to act like therapists - something they are most likely not trained to be, nor they want to be. Obviously everyone have issues, but forcing others to deal with their problems turns the other players' downtime into a stressful, tiring thing.
Ya know, I had this on in the background while shopping around for some good ghost stories or just plain haunted mystery kinda books and somehow this was worse then anything I could find.
Incapable of separating player from character, smothering another PC with unwanted affection, and many other issues that may seem passive, but ultimately lead to big problems. Definitely seemed like a problem player even before the big drops.
Tbh......horse girl lived up the westeros realism more than anyone. here here! Though after the first game, she shoulda had no char protection against doing stupid stuff and should have to see if she can successfully fight her way out fights she starts.
You know, I expected this to be worse. But after hearing how the GM was talking to Horse Girl outside of sessions I realized it could've been the extra horrible story I was expecting. I hope Horse Girl got some effective help.
If you ask me, Horse Girl is honestly more in line with ASoIaF as a setting than any of the other characters. Her character is essentially an exaggerated amalgam of three different canon Stark girls - Sansa, Arya, and Lyanna. Their version of Westeros is altogether really weird in my opinion. There are gender-equal Northern noble houses (no, there most definitely are not), there are bastards with happy backgrounds and home lives (if you know anything about the legal standing of bastards in Westeros, you'd understand why that cannot be a thing), characters don't have a kill-on-sight policy with regards to bandits and highwaymen (I _guess_ I could see this kind of soft-heartedness for a Red Priest, _maybe,_ but they'd still be an absolute oddity), there is such a thing as a "medieval fantasy rehab" for some reason (what do you think this is, Discworld??)... it's okay to want to play more idealistic characters and stories that are "good" by modern standards, but then why did you pick ASoIaF as a setting?? Also, some things in this story really smell like GM favoritism... and then GM digs up Horse Girl's most likely private writing, presumably without her consent. I am kind of curious as to what that story looks like from the other side.
The whole thing was stupid. I mean, they needed a trigger warning for alcohol? And the writer kept saying constantly that “This is when things go bad” but then nothing really happens
Honestly, when I was about halfway through, with the way she chose a bastard backstory and played so hard into the pity party, had no reaction to all the anti-woman stuff in the game, and her dagger's nickname, I was worrying about what her home life must have been like.
The fact that she absolutely just tore a hole through everything she was apart of. I dont think she liked the single guy of the group as a fact of actual likeness but he is a guy and she wanted the guys to fawn over her. In her mind it was whenever she met a guy NPC or character it would be: "oh no this poor girl who has gone through such a hard life, I'll protect her!". However In ASOIAF most people have a harsh backstory so no one is going to fawn over just another person with a horrible past.
Coming back to this story after a while. I started to develop a different outlook on how things in this story turned out. In short, I have very mixed feelings about it, but I'll explain. Yes, Horse Girl was very annoying and inappropriate with how she chose to play her character. I can understand why everyone else started to feel uncomfortable around her. HOWEVER, I strongly feel like nobody is innocent in this story. For one, with the bit with OP's character having a "milk of the poppy" addiction, all while Horse Girl got slammed for her character's drinking problem...that just reeks of double standards. Then there's the bit with the bard info broker NPC. It really felt like the DM intentionally had this character do something bad to Horse Girl's character just to upset her for petty reasons. I also understand why Horse Girl started to feel jealous with how her character got treated like a second class citizen, while everyone else in the party just kissed Padme's ass and courted her around, like she's the second coming of Christ or some shit. Theres's some other glaring issues in this story, but the bottom line is that everyone in this group is toxic. Horse Girl leaving the campaign was for the best, and I really hope she gets the mental help she needs. For all we know (especially with the r*pe dagger and fanfiction bit), she could have been a victim to some very horrible things that happened in her home life. As for everyone else, fuck them, especially OP, DM, and Padme Christ. If this was an AITA post on Reddit, it would certainly be a case of "everyone sucks".
Feels like most of these stories are "me and the girls (all of our party is women or gay/trans) get into a campaign that's seemingly 60% sex but one of us is a little too into sex and crazy teehee"
Sometimes, you do find a group of players who are just all assholes. Sometimes it's just an insular group and they really don't want to bring anyone else into their circle, and sometimes it's an echo chamber for their own bigotries where the targets of said bigotry are simply not going to have a good time. But if you can't point out what that bigotry is, or how they're being insular, then there's a different rule to apply. If one person you meet is an asshole, then you have met an asshole. If everybody you meet is an asshole, then you're the asshole.
Lost a little sympathy for the other players when OP unironically stated certain subjects were "triggering" for them. Have a feeling they're all a little cringe.
Yeah I mean I could get why they might not want an r scene or something, but alcoholism being triggering in RP? In an ASoIaF setting no less??? Like, did they ever actually watch/read GoT?
Eeeeeeeeeh… yeeeeeah… not sure if these guys were all there either. Don’t get me wrong, the horse girl is nuts and they dodged a bullet, but she’s nuts compared to them.
I find it a bit....odd that the "horse girl's" fanfiction or ero-fiction was dug out after she left. The supposed problem was gone, but the group decided to summon her back by reading through her writing? Why? I mean, I could guess why. But that guess has me wondering how much of this tale is being told through a very one-sided & mean-spirited lens.
Agreed. I have to think this particular party is wildly inflexible when it comes to the story rails, and HG was simply trying to breathe some variety into the tale.
Multiple times the writer is like “And just you wait, its about to get BAD!” but then nothing bad happens in the next paragraph, rinse and repeat. Like bro get to the damn point just like how GRRM keeps saying that the dragons are coming EDIT: ok seriously he NEVER gets to the point yet keeps on saying “Now this is when things get bad” and he is triggered by alcohol yeh this loon is pathetic. In the end, NOTHING happened. wtf was the point of this? DISLIKING defo fake
When it comes to anything lewd, ALL the details need to be hashed out before hand! This includes specific kinks and what happens if someone violates those limits and believe me there is ALWAYS someone who pushes the bar just a little too far when lewd is involved. I've saved myself so many headaches doing this but again there's always that one person who thinks "Naw you'll be fine".
Man I use to be in a MMO guild with someone Horse Girl reminds me of for some reason, we'll call them "Moon Moon". Same very naive type of role player who didn't "get it" and was very much living in her own mental fantasy about her character and was always making "enhancements". Basically acted like a bad anime protagonist for the most part, but then started to get pretty hard into femdom and became weirdly misanthropic, started just picking fights with the male characters in our group. She'd say and do the most bizarre things sometimes, but to be clear, she wasn't "hated" OOC, or even IC for the most part, it was just a case of "gosh I wish you'd just do BETTER and be less confusing". We were a pretty relaxed group with low standards for the most part, there were a few edgelords, but it wasn't a particularly edgy guild. Societally though, we were in a fascist state and she had a tendency to go rogue on outings, so it ended with "Okay, we're going to have to actually punish your character this time, this behavior has gone too far" and her just gquitting rather than accepting consequences for her character's actions. 😅 I think by that time she realized her character growth had plateaued because without some appropriate increase in character maturity or at least a change in behavior, the GMs and senior players simply weren't going to let her progress. It's a little sad, but as far as I know, she ended up in a lesbian ERP guild and is completely happy.
The minute I've heard about the "good homebrew House that is an embodiment of everything good and kind" the OP lost me. Why the hell take a harsh setting and then insert "good guys" instead of just picking another bloody setting? I'll never understand that and I'll always resent people who do that. It's bad taste.
It could work if they were portrayed as having an 'honor before reason' attitude. That way their virtues could also be a problem depending on the situation. Kinda like how Ned Stark still tried to do what he thought was right even though he knew it would probably just get him killed.
@@Athetos_Admech the existence of one person who is "honor before reason" in such a setting is more than justified. But a political entity like that wouldn't survive in it longer than 10 years, unless it was completely isolated from other Houses and their intrigues.
@@countrygeneral I agree that you would need a good explanation to justify such a faction in that setting. Maybe they would be tolerated as a buffer between the other houses and whatever dangers are further north? Or maybe it's just the current leader of that house who has that attitude and others are using his moral sensibilities to manipulate him.
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm more of a casual where it comes to TTRPGs, but she doesn't really come off as some lunatic to me. Definitely obnoxious, but the OP made it seem like she was nuking everything she touched, and then just described weird and eccentric character choices. Honestly, it comes off as bonding over a common enemy. As in, they're still together because they decided they all don't like this person. "She was ignoring my character." Is... your character entitled to her time? "She has a weird quasi-sexual obsession with horses." I guess? Freaks exist in all worlds, _especially_ in ASOIAF. With all of the media I've consumed, all the games I've played, all the books I've read, this seems pretty tame, honestly. It's definitely inconsiderate of her to steer these scenarios and characters in a way that goes against what everyone else apparently wants, but it seems to turn into, "you need to roleplay the way we want you to," which kind of feels against the spirit of it to me, at least based on the tables I've played at.
Since I was looking at something else, I thought the ‘oof’ dagger was what she really called it for a minute there. It still made sense to me, she’s described to be a jokester. Then I got confused why you said it the exact same the second time, looked over, and my heart dropped
Me (being slow and Reading slightly ahead): hey grape dagger is a weird a unique name. Don't know why it would be seen as a joke or what it is. Me (After he censors the word and the realisation sinks in): Oh. Oh no.
As someone with experience riding horses I think the reason the horny horse girl is a thing is because of the way english saddles are designed. On the saddle there is a hump infront of the ridders crotch known as the pommel when you ride a horse at higher speed with an english saddle you need to use your legs to raise and lower yourself with the rhythm of the horses steps. This results in your crotch rubbing against the pommel of the saddle stimulating female riders and if a female rider has been riding since a young age they could subconsciously associate sexual stimulation with riding horses.

Idk maybe just me in how when I hear these stories compared to most when it comes to these and other things my mind less goes the no you shouldn't do that. That's bad. And more a, huh it sounds like a very socially awkward girl who doesn't know how to actually speak to others or read the room case. Of a ah shouldn't talk about that topic, to hearing being closer to what nothing is wrong with it, it's just like any other joke or topic. To not really enjoy talking with other girls possibly aside the gm and mainly talks with guys. Possibly do to the writing case possibly has had bad experience with other girls in the past and tried hard to make friends with them like she did in the game but lead to basically what went down in game from there. To even a sad backstory being a case in there mind as a way to make a actual connection and feeling like "ah there just like me I can get along with them" to even hoping they have one despite not, to cling onto them in some way since not sure how to speak to others without possibly. This is simply my own interpretation of things said and easily could be wrong but for sure in the case she needed some therapy to talk with something's no doubt.
so she was definitely weird, and the definitely should have gotten rid of her, but why is it considered triggering for her character to partake in substance abuse when OP is literally planning out his characters' withdrawal symptoms to make them as realistic as possible? kinda seems like a double standard imo, and there were way more valid things to criticise horse girl for
the difference is that the OP doesn't openly do drugs in front of the party because he knows that it's shameful but he still wants there to be an effect of it, horse girl is actively drinking huge amounts of alcohol in front of everyone to the point where they're actually worrying for her then she's repeatedly doing this. It would be way different if OP was acting like a crackhead but he doesn't so it's not as big of a double standard as you think.
Because people can be traumatized by different things, mostly. But also because Horse Girl was not only seemingly doing this to spite others, and so being pretty public about it, she was apparently doing that sort of thing irl. OP was simply being discreet with the whole thing and playing his character the way that character was written. Horse Girl was not doing any of those things, and was being a bit of a donkey about it, too, from what I can tell.
I'm not one to kink shame (seriously, don't yuck anyone's yum when no one is getting hurt), but it's wild when the fact that she wrote r**e fantasy erotica in her spare time was the least concerning thing about the whole ordeal.
This is such a dumb premise. "A house that treats women right" as if you don't live in the middle ages where everyone is dying and it's not actually a glorious patriarchy like you think it is
TTRPG's are historically male dominated, even now they are still majority male. so the term for a problem player is male due to many examples of male players doing shitty things. its the same reason the nightmare customer is referred to as a karen, because while there are men who cause issues the stereotype was built from negative experiences with mostly women
Me when he mentions skin changing into one of the horses: "Oh no" Narrator: "If at this pint you're saying "Oh no" Just wait, it gets worse" I felt called out lol
@@lingricen8077 can't wonder about that since I have friends. I guess since you have such surface level understandings of things, this is why you honestly believe your peer pressure childishness can work on others. My mortgage poses a more eminent dread and terror than your opinion of a comment.

I understand how there’s a natural overlap with people who like anime and people who like DnD…but it really is crazy just how many people rp their characters as cringey anime edgelords, literally taking lines verbatim from anime. It’s not only incredibly embarrassing but also just creatively bankrupt. Oh look, another chaotic neutral rogue who’s literally just Sasuke, wow, I’ve never seen that one before. Bravo.
My fuzzy rodent in Christ, if I had a buck for every Drizzt knock off I've seen in my long years of rolling dice at tables, I'd be able to buy some gold plated dice and a very nice gaming table at the very least. Nerds have always been bringing their favorite media into TTRPGs for as long as TTRPGs have existed. Anime is just a new category of media and pile of tropes to add to the mix.

Me (being slow and Reading slightly ahead): hey grape dagger is a weird a unique name. Don't know why it would be seen as a joke or what it is.
Me (After he censors the word and the realisation sinks in): Oh. Oh no.
Everyone: Did this v1rgin seriously type ‘Me’ in his comment, twice?
srsly cringe
As someone with experience riding horses I think the reason the horny horse girl is a thing is because of the way english saddles are designed. On the saddle there is a hump infront of the ridders crotch known as the pommel when you ride a horse at higher speed with an english saddle you need to use your legs to raise and lower yourself with the rhythm of the horses steps. This results in your crotch rubbing against the pommel of the saddle stimulating female riders and if a female rider has been riding since a young age they could subconsciously associate sexual stimulation with riding horses.
Okay, I'm scared to ask this but...what do they mean by 'Grape'?
Okay, Imma have to lead you through this. Write out "Grap" on a piece of paper. After that, cover the G ONLY.

@@daviddragonheart6798 Ahh, I see it now. Now I feel like an idiot.
Thanks for letting me know, sorry for being a dumbass ^^;
@@TheIllusiveMan11no one is born a blacksmith. A lot of Internet "code" isn't straight forward to everyone until you see it in very straight forward context and can work it out or someone explains it. I personally use urban dictionary A LOT
@@firebeard2412 Thanks for understanding
No joke, I had to look it up to. Lol, we're just too innocent for the Internet
Idk maybe just me in how when I hear these stories compared to most when it comes to these and other things my mind less goes the no you shouldn't do that. That's bad.
And more a, huh it sounds like a very socially awkward girl who doesn't know how to actually speak to others or read the room case. Of a ah shouldn't talk about that topic, to hearing being closer to what nothing is wrong with it, it's just like any other joke or topic. To not really enjoy talking with other girls possibly aside the gm and mainly talks with guys.
Possibly do to the writing case possibly has had bad experience with other girls in the past and tried hard to make friends with them like she did in the game but lead to basically what went down in game from there.
To even a sad backstory being a case in there mind as a way to make a actual connection and feeling like "ah there just like me I can get along with them" to even hoping they have one despite not, to cling onto them in some way since not sure how to speak to others without possibly.
This is simply my own interpretation of things said and easily could be wrong but for sure in the case she needed some therapy to talk with something's no doubt.
so she was definitely weird, and the definitely should have gotten rid of her, but why is it considered triggering for her character to partake in substance abuse when OP is literally planning out his characters' withdrawal symptoms to make them as realistic as possible? kinda seems like a double standard imo, and there were way more valid things to criticise horse girl for
the difference is that the OP doesn't openly do drugs in front of the party because he knows that it's shameful but he still wants there to be an effect of it, horse girl is actively drinking huge amounts of alcohol in front of everyone to the point where they're actually worrying for her then she's repeatedly doing this. It would be way different if OP was acting like a crackhead but he doesn't so it's not as big of a double standard as you think.
Because people can be traumatized by different things, mostly.
But also because Horse Girl was not only seemingly doing this to spite others, and so being pretty public about it, she was apparently doing that sort of thing irl.
OP was simply being discreet with the whole thing and playing his character the way that character was written. Horse Girl was not doing any of those things, and was being a bit of a donkey about it, too, from what I can tell.
All people sucked in this one, but horse girl was the least bad imho.
awesome
I appreciate it!

CW: Letters. My comment has letters. Watch out.
"it would certainly be yikes" 💀💀💀
The designated Kirk is my knew favourite term.
this reminds me of this one guy I knew
not dnd related but he was obsessed with an mlp character funny enough
"The milk of the poppy', which is fantasy opium."
Nope, thats just real opium, my guy. Thats what some cultures used to call it. 🤣
I don't understand what "worg" is supposed to mean. Urban dictionary doesn't give anything and DnD only talks about the evil wolf worg.
I think it means "to merge" in this context. I was looking it up too because I was confused.
Warging, and I've only seen GoT so I may get the details wrong, but in this context they basically "possess" an animal.
She’s a freakish my little pony/aot mix lmao
I'm not one to kink shame (seriously, don't yuck anyone's yum when no one is getting hurt), but it's wild when the fact that she wrote r**e fantasy erotica in her spare time was the least concerning thing about the whole ordeal.
This is such a dumb premise. "A house that treats women right" as if you don't live in the middle ages where everyone is dying and it's not actually a glorious patriarchy like you think it is
Get that Pretty Derby slander out of here
It seems to me that the word you should use is "OOF", not yikes!
why is it relegated to "that guy" when their a female irl also?
"That guy" is just the term for it. 🤷♀I think "that girl" has a whole other set of connotations.
TTRPG's are historically male dominated, even now they are still majority male. so the term for a problem player is male due to many examples of male players doing shitty things.
its the same reason the nightmare customer is referred to as a karen, because while there are men who cause issues the stereotype was built from negative experiences with mostly women
Me when he mentions skin changing into one of the horses: "Oh no"
Narrator: "If at this pint you're saying "Oh no" Just wait, it gets worse"
I felt called out lol
Why did you type Me: in your own comment? Thats really cringey, are you afraid that we’d think someone else said your comment? cringe
@@lingricen8077 i don't really care if you find it cringe or not. Your feelings on such things are not something I care about stranger on the internet
@@StormsandSaugeye then continue to wonder why you have no friends
@@lingricen8077 can't wonder about that since I have friends.
I guess since you have such surface level understandings of things, this is why you honestly believe your peer pressure childishness can work on others.
My mortgage poses a more eminent dread and terror than your opinion of a comment.
@@StormsandSaugeye You say me in your own comment
Oof
This one was a big oof
TL;DR. Overly sensitive zoomers can't just play a game and try to therapize everyone but themselves
Isn't this from several years ago? Would it be zoomers or zillennials?
@@SobiTheRobot right, I seem to remember this from awhile back
It’s a bit of an older story but definitely true for anyone that grew up perpetually online
Zoomer*S*?
Whole party seems cringe imo
I'd like to think this was a human-read channel, but I'm beginning to think it's not because of a few random glitches where words are completely mispronounced.. MIA is not a single word to be pronounced. Missing In Action. M I A. that glitched me hard enough that I noticed.
….thats it? Disliking.
zoomers suck omg 😂
friken LG crap is just that.

I understand how there’s a natural overlap with people who like anime and people who like DnD…but it really is crazy just how many people rp their characters as cringey anime edgelords, literally taking lines verbatim from anime. It’s not only incredibly embarrassing but also just creatively bankrupt. Oh look, another chaotic neutral rogue who’s literally just Sasuke, wow, I’ve never seen that one before. Bravo.
My fuzzy rodent in Christ, if I had a buck for every Drizzt knock off I've seen in my long years of rolling dice at tables, I'd be able to buy some gold plated dice and a very nice gaming table at the very least. Nerds have always been bringing their favorite media into TTRPGs for as long as TTRPGs have existed. Anime is just a new category of media and pile of tropes to add to the mix.
