Okay look, turning a bus full of nuns into a... hanky-panky party... is an AWESOME way to derail & end a campaign that was clearly going nowhere. Full props to the succubus!

I’m just imagining the giant bus orgy with Fenrir sighing as he drives the bus like a tired dad who wants to go to the pub

Given the warning he had about the DM from the prior player, I would have left as soon as the DM decided he could control his character whenever he wants "because reasons".

"Your party meets up in a bang bus to Nashville" is at least one of the more original campaign settings.

FENRIR TAKE THE WHEEL!

I chuckles when Crispy replaced the word "orgy" with "hanky panky party".

Intro story: How on earth does an experienced D&D player not understand the concept of coming up with their own character goals? First story: Big, obvious NTA, and Hannah is a good friend for warning OP about that DM. That game sounded incredibly frustrating to be in, and I’m glad OP got out. Second story: I am suddenly very grateful for my party’s wonderful, non-Gollum-resembling rogue. Third story: My advice to OP would be to politely explain to Joe that D&D is a) a team game, and b) about more than doing damage. If he doesn’t shape up, you might just have to kick him. Fourth story: Yeah, I don’t think I’d come back to that group. Ever. Even if we weren’t playing that game again. I don’t think I could move past… that.

That barbarian sounds like the annoying mmo players that trash talk people who are not "high enough" dps damage output in every single fight

The fanart you select tends to be fire, but wow. Love that Strahd piece.

Hearing your bewildered voice say "One...hanky-panky party" was a simply joyous experience.

RIDE ON THE MAGIC SCHMOOZE BUS

The one thing that caught me off guard was Fenrir driving the bus. Since he caught and ate a rabbit, I assume that they are a wolf. How does that work? What rolls did they have to make? Does wolf physiology even allow that happen? This is a strangely fascinating and amusing note buried under the orgy surrounding it. Something to distract from the wtf of the situation

Take a ride on the bonk bus! Where all sorts of bonkable offenses occur!

1st story GM really pulled an Empress Theresa on the rogue huh

I did run Ravenloft recently. Instead of DMPCing, I had a player playing Ireena Kolyana. Having her as a full PC made the game more grim and added a level of horror in the party wanted to protect and save her from Strahd, not just because that is what the story entailed.

24:00 Hi, casual Bible scholar here! In (most) Christian belief, any amount of sin is enough to send one to Hell, however a soul cannot go to Hell until it dies, and wont go if it repents and accepts forgiveness, so Succubus could not take all of their souls to Hell. Unless she killed them immediately after.

I love In Nomine! It's also nothing like what's described.

The last story was kinda funny. I mean, the GM didn't give the party anything to do, so... you know, it's like when the electricity goes off and you have to kill the time in some way :D :D :D

i remember one of my DMs saying that the cultist i was interrogating was a young boy AFTER i threatened him

The last story is... sure a horror story and strange but I honestly do think the succubus didn't expect that to happen on the roll.. maybe. Sounds like something the group I was with would do as a joke roll to screw around. Don't need description just something random that can get a chuckle for the session.

"congrats, you won DnD" i love it

so the rogue wants the worthless crystals, even though he has no one to sell tthem to or trade with (presumably the other denizens of that place know of the crystals' worth...aka none) and will most likely starve to death in that place....all because they're shiny.... and this person is sopposed to be a STEM student?

That’s an awesome strategy! Congrats you won now roll another character that’ll play with us.

That Succubus caused Crispy.exe to explode lmao

"Fenrir takes the wheel of the bus while the other passengers descend into an orgy" is such a glorious mental image omfg i wish i was there

11:55 I actually used this puzzle in my campaign to great effect, the party had a blast with this!

Third Story: Okay, so I would personally try to explain to this kid that there's more to the game than just dealing and taking damage. It sounds to me like he's more focused on the combat component of the game and sees that as the only part of the game that matters, because it's the focus of the vast majority of D&D's stats and abilities, so that makes sense. However, OP should point out that the usefulness of other characters comes from the things they can do as individuals. The life cleric DMPC is a perfect example; he isn't very physically imposing and doesn't deal a lot of damage, but if he wasn't around, the barbarian would've died several times over without him there to heal him. In the same way, the DM could criticize the barbarian for being a poor healer, or mage, or his seeming inability to interact with NPCs, and say that outside of hitting things, the barbarian is pretty useless, but he doesn't, because with a class-based game like D&D, criticism should be about what a character can do rather than what they can't. A wizard or sorcerer wouldn't be calling the barbarian useless because they can use magic and he can't, so why should he have the right to call them useless because his big muscular arms can smash things better than their weaker bodies can?

Even linear games has backstory

🎶If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says 15 miles to The Loooooove SHACK!!!🎶 Seriously though, the last story went from 0 to 80 in not time flat. What even was that?

@crispy's : In Nomine is a game where no one is actually bad whereas in its inspiration, no one is good. So take the following with a grain of salt, as it comes from a french player that knew a few of the guys from the team that created the prime game (and when I say I knew them... We kinda hung in the same pubs and after a few beers, well... you chat ?). This is regular INS/MV that is described. In Nomine Satanis/Magna veritas, of which In Nomine is a rip-off, is a game where angels recruits their forces amongst far right extremists and other nutjobs, where demons incarnates in overdosed televangelists and TV stars, so on so forth. As long as it is ridiculous, over the top and at least one step further away from the limit of decency, you're doing it right. There is no real good nor evil as the bosses of the various pantheons are just self interested powerhouses that are in for human souls control. The demons are even better than angels when considered from a human point of view as the demon princes may sometimes consider that "this is going to far and we are not undercover anymore" and stop the players, whereas the gods are in for a theocraty and theocraty includes showing off and displaying stuffs (I mean, the Jesus Christ incident includes such demonstrations). In Nomine dulled that as... Well it is based on a game that was definitely intended for a non religious audience. Like at all. Croc's game was deemed too polemic for... I'd say non european people, but Croc told me that "Nah, it's definitely for us french, I get shit from other people about supposed respect." (it was in a pub, add a few expletives here and there and a rant about people that think they are due some respect from a position rather than from what they do). Sooo... Yes. In the basic game, if it is not about sex, drugs, disrespect and punk rather than rock and roll, that's not the spirit of the game. I've read that In Nomine was less antagonist to religions and society so MAYBE for an In Nomine game an orgy was a bit overdoing the result of the dices... But for an In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas game that would be regular stuffs. Except for the "I drag them to Hell". Come on succubus, stop being lazy and learn what true corruption is. It's like asking for a gold medal after having just tied your running shoes. Also that's funny that the guy than can turn into a giant wolf is the one that stays in control of the stuffs mankind makes.

>AITA for leaving the game Nope! I would have left the moment the DM put the NPC switch in my character’s head without my consent.

There are some stories that just make you go...what the fuck? That's the fourth story for me.

I'm so happy KZfaq finally recommended you because these are great.

Today on another episode of "what is it with bad DMs and hating a player's character so much they target them over it, but still greenlighting the character anyway"...

Lovin that grainy black and white look and jazz for the am I the asshole part

Crispy: "The player characters are always the main characters." Some Problem Player watching this probably: AHA! I knew it! Crispy said it himself! I'M the main character!!!

I'm not sure what game the people in the last story were playing, but it sure as heck isn't the In Nomine I have on my gaming shelf. Too bad such an interesting setting had to be ruined by a game session like ... that. (To be fair, I never ran it because I'm not a fan the system, but I liked the setting/concept and imported it into a World of Darkness game I was running (this being pre-Demon too))

This is probably a minor objection in context, but I'm pretty sure you don't go to Hell for things you were explicitly MIND CONTROLLED into doing.

Bonk was the best possible code word for this video because the comment section just ends in a righteous bludgeoning.

That last story was pretty hilarious ngl.

To be fair, BONK party sounds like it could have been amazing over-the-top-ninja-pirate-punch-Cthulhu game, but fellas sure should have discuss what they are okay with!

The soundtrack to the last story should be The Lonely Island’s Boombox!

I was not expecting my fight or flight response to be activated while watching this video, but here we are.

I have two issues with the last story. The minor one, which was the fact that it implies that the DM got explicit with the details and the major one, which is the fact the players werent warned that this would be this sort of campaign, which also makes the former issue worse. But besides that, I actually thought it was funny, like If I was in a game where I was made aware this sort of scenario was possible, the players could opt out of being affected by the seduction and there was a fade to black when the orgy started to pick up steam and Fenrir had to take the bus, I would've laughed my ass off at this situation.

In fairness to the GM on the last one he didn't initiate the sexual hanky panky he just rolled with it then got dragged into an argument with a player. At that point I would have allowed her to grab the souls excluding PC's then ask the party if they are going to ditch the buss to distance themselves from the disappearances or continue to use it.

It's probably also a good idea to call out negativity like calling other characters "useless". It only takes a few seconds to say "Hey, we're not doing that here. No one is 'useless', this is a GAME and everyone is playing their part. If something is making you not have fun, stop being toxic and talk it out and we'll do what we can to help, as we would expect you to. There's no reason to be shitting on people you're playing a game with."

All aboard the Succ-U-Bus

Only seen the title and I'm already excited (grabs a box of Buncha Cruncha because I don't like popcorn).

This bus is taking you were you will get a bonk.

In Nomine... doesn't really involve the Cthulhu mythos? At least as far as I know? It's mostly about Heaven and Hell CLASHING, not cooperating.

I have never seen an in nomine game with this type of characters in it. In nomine is an old ttrpg with heaven and hell as a hidden battle on earth. There isn't any cheerleader, succubus and all that so that sounds like a homebrew to feed the DM more than what the game is supposed to be. Furthermore, this ttrpg did not get as much recognition abroad than it did in its original french country, which is that its setting and humor made it one of the easiest introduction to ttrpgs for beginners because its system is so simple (d666 only, for everything). I am sorry that the last OP did not get that experience and that it left the PCs awkward.

That is one hell of a homebrew In Nomine game. You .. could, in theory, turn it into heaven, hell and the marches vs chtulhu but that's not really a thing, nor are succubi as stated here. Closest you'd get is an Impudite of Lust.

I think the one with antagonist player is worst, because the op of that story said he was a DnD campaign......for his friends FAMILY! That means this dude is actively going against his family's enjoying a game.

Where is Vergil if you need him? Probably saving people during NNN.

"Bonk!'

*echoey, ethereal* bonk

cheerleader with a chainsaw sounds like lollipop chainsaw

I almost didn't click this video due to the title in the thumbnail. Thankfully the story was not as bad as I feared, in fact it was somewhat tame compared to other stories featured on this channel (unless you count light ERP as horror). I'd argue the AITA story was worse.

Normally, I hate that specific meme that shall not be named because YT nuked my comment for it. However, this DM deserves a bonk for allowing those... festivities... to occur with a group who clearly didn't consent to ERP.

*BONK!*

Dammit, Joe!

The SuccuBUS Story!

Commenting to support Cris Pratts interaction rates

Urge to bonk... rising.

LITERAL BANG BUS?

Snuggle up with a plushy and be ready for the worst

Just look at the controlling dm. "That's a nope." And leave. Better to not play that it is to be forced into anything.

Love your videos! however, i do have one accessibility suggestion... maybe you could include a verbal trigger warning of some kind for people who are visually impaired or just listening to your rpg horror stories without reading along on screen. Even if it's vague to avoid bad algorithm or other KZfaq consequences--like 'not ok intimate contact" or something. This would be really helpful to me and probably others as well! Thanks

That is ... Definitely not In Nomine.....

I don't get why the writer in the intro story got mad at the player not being interested in making their own back story.

GRP???🤔

Intro Story: obviously got to be there for the nuance of the conversation, but I feel like the DM failed this one. I interpreted as the PC asking for the DM to help flesh out their backstory so it fits in their setting. Some people simply need help with their backstories. It sounded like the DM just wrote it for them and didn't want to work with the PC to flesh it out. If I was a player that struggled with making backstory and the DM was like: "Nevermind, I'll just write it for you," I'd be pissed and leave the game too. The DM even admits that the player might have been in linear games where backstory didn't matter much. Never once does the narrator say that he tried to help the player. I'd also been in sandbox games where backstory was irrelevant.

BONK!!! XD

Oh god, grad student professors, and a staff member purposefully inviting students. Nope nothing is going to go wrong. And I am throwing some mellow shade on grad student professors or adjuncts because if they are teaching anything beyond rudemintaries that students should have learned in highschool or totally failed on their SATs their quality of teaching is usually crap.

22:00 Was that last character supposed to be a reference? Cuz it seems a bit too specific to be a thing that was just thought up.

Bonk!

BONK.

Bonk.

BONK

In fairness to Rogue, if I arrived to a game and found a virtual escape room when I was expecting... ummm... anything else, I might be inclined to check out and start making my own fun, too.

Dude getting my party to like Rowena and ismark in cos, they worked fine with ireena, protecting her from the redditor lmao. But ismark, they just called Markish, until he proved himself by making them food they would all like (idc I made him like cooking as a hobby) and he earned the title of ismark

The last story put me on the back foot. What a mess.

Hony Jail BONK

Honestly, Succubus player is just as bad as the GM to me. Sure, GM went out of his way to decide that everyone falls under an orgy spell, but the Succubus player making sex the answer to everything and then trying to induce a TPK on the party right out the gate is super shitty. I see people defending them as “just purposely trying to kill the game since no one was having fun”, but the principle of settling out of game problems with in game solutions rings true here. Ya just don’t do that. Should’ve just said they were having a bad time, or just left or something. Don’t know why OP played and continued to play games with that player.

9:26 As someone who talks far to much im going to guess they ment the rouge did not know how to stop talking (which if you think about that statmemt litterly for a moment it becoumes quite terrafying)

Bonk

bonk

Hanky Panky Party huh?

How do you go about submitting a story for him to read?

Sex in dnd is a hell naw. Major red flag in general.

Uh, another one rides the bus?

sex = bad wow such a unique opinion

Boooooooonk

9:18 stop the discussion, they just kept talking.

people who do relationships in D&D need to go get some in real life

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a DnD session just doesn't seem the right place to discuss the nature of sin...

Auøgh

Just a head's up. I read the "Kicked in an Hour" story and it seems like you have the OP username wrong. It's u/On-Which-Difficulty.

Bonk!

BONK!
