Gaming and orgies don't mix

[Majoru Oakheart]

I'm not too surprised. Haven't really had this bad of a thing happen, but I've heard of some stuff.

My worst problem with things like this was a couple years ago my gf (at the time) begged me to start up my D&D group again as we had been lacking the players to play (we had 6 people, but 4 of them kept cancelling every week so we couldn't play reliably).

So, in an effort to start the group up again for her (and slightly amazed that she actually asked ME to start up the group again, she played, but I always got the sense she ONLY played because I liked it), I asked a guy from work named Craig to join our group as I heard he played D&D.

He joined our group about a month before my gf broke up with me. We were trying to stay friends so we continued gaming on a weekly basis. After about a month, I found out they were secretly dating behind my back. The fallout from that managed to destroy my group and it took months before I felt like playing again.

On the other hand, I believe we have lost 4 or 5 women from role playing groups for sexual or sexual related issues. This is the primary reason that in my game, we currently have no women.

So die_kluge, when do you start in the new group, and where will you post the (sure to be non-grandma friendly) story hour?

This has to do with female gamers because we're all willing to sleep with the tall barbarian in the group? Or what? Are you trying to scare people away from women gamers or pique their interest in playing with one (hoping for footsies and fellating)?

I'm not sure how to take this post, really.

It has to do with female gamers only in the sense that sometimes sexual issues can come up in the game, and this was a very clear example of that. Obviously, I suppose a guy could hit on another guy, but I would think that would be more rare. It's just an interesting story. Nothing more.

Huh. Acc. to Ottergame, having a woman in his group might actually slow such down: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=128488

So the real question was why did Kerry fool around with a married woman in the first place.

[Bill] I did not have sexual relations with that woman....[/Bill]

Yikes! Wow! That couple has come up with a whole new way to give our hobby a bad name. Unbelievable!

But now that I think about it, I suppose running a gaming group is even more efficient than Lavalife or newspaper personal ads to find young men willing to accept sex in whatever form it is presented to them. So, maybe there is a method to these people's madness.

Out-of-game I've never had this happen (maybe I'll start going to those meet-ups It probably helps that I am married and my wife does not play. Most married couples that I've played with, the wife is an NPC holder that eats XP and treasure. (no offense) I've invited previous girlfriends to play and they are usually more concious of the budding relationship than the game, so their feelings/desires get passed into the game.

In-game it always seems like the immature players bring this stuff up (sex). Be it homophobic comments or innuendo. Female players do tend, IME, to use the sex card more than guys when trying to gather info or bluff. As a DM, I generally try to pursue this course of action, in detail, until the player is uncomfortable, that usually prevents it from coming up again.

I've also noticed that women play either a large fighter or barbar, or a (crappy) bard. Why is that/is this true in other groups?

The Scene:

Hef at the Playboy Mansion in Robe & behind the DM Screen, surrounded by all his 18-22 year old girlfriends/employees on some deck furniture around the grotto at the mansion.

Each of the girls is wearing a bikini and has a pile of dice and a piece of paper in front of her.

Hef: "So, as we left off last week, you were about to journey into Castle Spank: Dungeon of the Loosely Clad, Busty Succubi (props to John Kovalic, visit his website, buy his comic), and you had just captured the succubus head of the evil overlord's harem guards, Slutina. What do you want to do?"

Miss June: "I'm going to make the Slutina chick talk! I'll bend her over my knee & spank her till she BEGS me to stop! I have a +8 to Intimidate and the spanking should give me a +2 circumstance modifier. Oh! I'm also using my +2 Holy Crop on Cloth Disintegration on her backside. (rolls a pink d20). Oh, I got an 18, that's a..... Umm... High Number!"

Miss August: "Oh mister Dungeon Master, I've found a way to earn extra XP!"

Hef: "Thanks girls. Yes, Miss June. That is a high number, and the succubi totally crumbles as you spank here firmly. She even agrees to help you on your quest. For tonight's session, we have a guest who'll run Slutina for the night. Please welcome E! Host & 2 time Playboy cover model: Brooke Burke!"

Camera pans to Brooke in Bikini bottom & t-shirt which says: Paladins lay hands here (with two strategically placed "hand" decals.

Brooke: Now what's this about spanking me?"

Camera fades out, phantom voice speaks out: "Dungeons & Dragons! Meet some extraordinary people!"

See, the best part is it ain't false advertising. I have met some truly extra ordinary people through gaming. No Playmates, but some truly unique people.


And for the girls, they could have a Playgirl version that runs on the Lifetime Movie Network.

Fusangite, your cynicism is showing.
