The funny thing is about that story is that it's all kind of fair game except for the first thing, which is insane, where you're just like, you're rusty as a heroic adventurer. Disadvantage, if people don't know, if you have disadvantage on every roll, you're not gonna do anything. It's not gonna be a fun game. There's a reason that you only have disadvantage a little bit of the time.
So that's basically the DM giving away the game there of like, you're not gonna be able to have fun today. There's no official rules in D&D of if you miss a session, your character now sucks. The it hates you is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. Could the DM have done everything they did there? Technically, yeah.
Technically, if they hate someone. Yeah, that sounds. So that one is not legit. And then so it takes a legendary action. That is a thing, dude. Technically, they used the full might of the DM's toolbox to kill him.
Technically, they've broken no rules except for that disadvantage nonsense. So overall, fair game, but it is... Do you think this person, because the verdict on this one on D&D Horror Stories is, is it a bad DM or not? Is it a bad DM or not? It's fair game, but it's shitty DMing. Out the gate.
This bird that just saw you hates you.
As I will say, perhaps the better choice there is to go after the other threatening party members. Yeah. But hey man, secure that kill if you gotta, I guess. Just maybe you don't give disadvantage to everything. That's basically, you're rolling two dice and taking the lower result every time. So you're gonna roll poorly. That's so funny. That's incredible.
That shit's really funny.
You would like Paranoia as a game. It's a great TTRPG. But yeah, that is cuckoo bananas. That is amazing. Comments. Yeah, this DM is an immature child. If the DM had a problem with you missing a game, they should have talked with you about it like an adult. You don't punish people in-game for real-life issues. OP said, not to mention the session I missed was little more than a shopping episode.
Oh my God. We learned a lot at Macy's though. Someone said, unless you are constantly late or a no-show and that was the reason your own campaign fell apart, then this is seriously egregious. I wouldn't have even gone back, just packed my stuff and left right then and there. Lastly, someone said, as the bird furiously claws and pecks at you, it squawks, you shouldn't have missed the last session.
I hate you. The justification in the storyline of like, why is it attacking me? It's like, it hates you. Yeah. It's just really funny. It's very funny. We need to, can we promise in the next Dread to have a moment where something inexplicably hates you? A monster attacks you. Someone in there like, why? It's like, it hates you.
I'll take that note. Yeah. Yeah, got it. Roger that. Elephants. Oh my God. Wow. That's unbelievable. Damn. Have you ever experienced, like, in D&D sessions where, obviously, because I don't feel like you would ever do this as a DM. Gosh, no. Have you witnessed this type of behavior? Like, when it bleeds into the game. Like, just punishing, like, not this extremely.
So, this is long enough ago that I think I can say it. There was a character who was role-playing. Like, they had just taken down, like, a zombie. And they were, like, you know, as their character, they're, like, a monk. They're doing, like, a little ceremony to, like... They feel bad that they killed the zombie before looking for a cure or whatever.
And the DM didn't like that because they were religious and viewed it as something that wasn't religious. And so they fireballed that. Satan's game. Satan's game. They fireballed that person out of nowhere and just added enemies because they saw a ritual they didn't like. And it was the most uncomfortable I've ever been in a player seat. That's God.
And God deems that fire cleanses. Yeah, right. Wow. That whole DM as, like, the arbiter of, like, the real life is so crazy and unhealthy.
It's extremely funny because wasn't like D&D hated by the religious community? It's like a famously, yeah. Oh, 100%. Anything with like a cult and witchcraft and stuff like that was immediately, it was like a moral panic. So everybody was just trying to blame stuff to be like, look how crazy this game is.
Okay. Yeah. What was Tim doing in the 80s? Yeah, I also feel like missing games is, whenever, I don't play D&D outside of like, we've played here, but I haven't played D&D in my regular life, but hearing about it, I feel like missing games is like one of the most common things in D&D. It's impossible to get a bunch of adults together on a regular basis, so missing games is normal. To be expected.
And unless it's a broadcast and you're performing it for other people, then those obligations extend a little further. But if it's a personal game, I can't tell you how many times I've been at a game with six people that are supposed to show up and four people show up. And that's great, we can play.
You know what I mean? And to punish somebody for not showing up, is not gonna make them show up next time. Right. You know? I also feel like the whole point of it that I feel like most of the D&D horror stories we've read is it seems like DMs forget is like the point of it is to have fun. Yes. So when you're making choices that are just actually making it all a bummer.
The DM seat is a seductive seat for an asshole. It's like, oh, I can lord over all my friends. Yeah, it can maketh a monster if you're not trusting everybody around the table. That's why it's like a weird thing when like adults reenter into like an imagination land and you realize, oh, we can still hurt each other's feelings.
Yeah. Yeah, that pretend thing you said to me did hurt my feelings because you were being a jerk in real life kind of level about that. Oh, man. Just have grace with your players if you're a DM. That's just, this should be lesson number one, two, and three. Sure. Yeah. All right, our next story. So this was an ad on Craigslist that was reposted onto RPG Horror Stories. Ooh, that's tough.
