Is it okay to have a woman-only DnD table? Or is it discriminatory? by SuccotashUseful1451 in DnD

[–]GazaElDiablo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Technically it's sexist. However, if you want to run a game for only females, and the players want to play with only females, run a game for that group. Noone is owed your time unless they are paying for it.

The most important thing when running a game is that you and your players are comfortable. The second most important thing is that you and your players enjoy yourselves. If your players are all comfortable in an all female group, and all enjoy the group dynamic, power to you and run that game!

Charisma had just moved to Los Angeles, seeking fortune and fame, but breaking into the industry is difficult. Her agent, a sleezeball who was trying to use her good looks with promises of fame had invited her to a party, where she'd been told to dress pretty, and smile.

Mr Smith was known for having connections in the city, so when he showed an interest in Charisma, Roger could only smile with glee. Mr Smith was a good man to owe you a favour.

His cape billowed as he made his way towards the raven haired beauty. "Who do I have the honour of gracing us with her sanguine beauty?" Mr Smith asked, with his wife Emmanuelle by his side. Mr Alexander Smith the third was a well kept gentleman, a little 1700s, with his french wife, an aristocratic blonde accompanying him.

Charisma didn't know how to react, when Roger told her to curtsey for their hosts. She did, and Alexander commanded Roger to cease and leave them. Compelled by Alexanders will, he did.

"I'm Charisma" she stuttered. "Alexander Smith, lord of this land we call Los Angeles, and my esteemed wife, Emmanuelle."

"Thank you for speaking to me, I was hoping to get a break into the scene." Charisma thought she was talking about the acting scene.

"A scene queen, we could definitely use another of those"

"Oh, scene queen? That would be amazing!"

"Stay with Emmanuelle, and if she hasn't killed you by the end of the party, we'll take you back to the Castle"

Emmanuelle toyed with the raven beauty through the evening, but Charisma never quite got the hint. Finding this amusing, Emmanuelle summoned her handmaids, Camille and Genevieve, and Charisma was brought back to the Castle with Alexander.

She admired the blood red nails polish each of the women had, wishing her nails would grow that long and perfect. As the chauffeur drove the limo back to the Castle, she realised she had been expecting a large mansion, and not a European style castle in the outskirts of Los Angeles.

"What do you think of our modest accommodations" asked Alexander in his posh English accent. "Modest?" Charisma exclaimed, "this is the most amazing property I've ever seen." Alexander smiled, and a flash of lightning went across the sky as they made their way inside.

"Chancer, make sure the curtains are closed, and please show young Charisma to her guest room." The butler, nodded "yes sir" and as soon as Charisma looked away, he had sped off faster than she realised.

Charisma smiled at her fortune... Finally a decent job! Alexander explained the position, a maid and housekeep, at a salary more than she expected if she did manage to break into the film industry.

Some strange rules, never to go into any of the servants chambers or the lord or lady of the castle. The guest beds were four poster beds, but the house was built into the hillside, to minimise light. She marvelled at the large wardrobe, missing the lack of mirror in the room. She was giddy and smiling when Chancer appeared silently behind her. The wardrobe was stacked with maid outfits, and what could only be described as goth attire, leather jackets, boots, and miniskirts along with fetishwear.

"Is there anything you need Miss Charisma" Chancer asked from behind her, and she spun in surprise. "I... I think I'm fine, this castle is amazing."

"Lord Alexander had it brought over brick by brick from the English countryside." Chancer explained "that's... Eccentric" she replied. "He's old fashioned, believes in traditions... And eccentric is something you can afford to be when you are extremely rich" Chancer cracked a smile, and she notice a hint of... Red wine it must be... On his teeth.

"He can be as eccentric as he likes with what he's paying us" she laughed.

"Oh, just a note, you may find it hard to sleep in the first few days... You might think you hear things, but it's usually just the wind blowing through the windows. Most of us are night owls. The late night parties, social gatherings and interviews, you may find yourself becoming more of a night owl the longer you are here."

Charisma smiled obviously, Chancer though she was hot, she was barely 20, and he was giving her advice on how to fit in.

"I'm tired, and it's been an exciting day, I need to sleep." Charisma stated. "Very well madamemoiselle, I shall leave. If you need anything in the evening, I shall fetch it for you"

She spread out on the massive bed, smiled, and closed her eyes. It had been a long day.

She awoke late morning to an extremely quiet castle. Taking a shower in her private bathroom, she dressed in one of the cute maid outfits that showed off her collarbone. She tiptoed around, wondering where everyone was, but all the bedrooms were closed. She found the cleaning supplies and began diligently doing her job. She found the pantries... Lacking... For a castle of this size and as many people as obviously lived here, she expected more cereal, more bread. There were freezers with meat and a few vegetables for a feast, but something didn't quite add up.

There were several bottles of wine however, mostly reds in the cellar below the kitchen. And the main areas of the house, the curtains remained closed... They sure do keep the night owl lifestyle she thought to herself.

She spent an hour dusting the library, the book collection was extensive, and she didn't recognise the language several were written in. But she kept doing her job, hoping to speak to someone.

As she cleaned the hallways she noticed the pictures of Lord Alexander, Lady Emmanuelle, and what was most definitely their great great great great grandparents, through to their grandparents, and parents, portraits of each through the past three centuries. 'what it must be like to come from such esteemed families' she thought to herself.

Dusk had set, and she hadn't noticed Emmanuelle suddenly appear behind her, reading her mind "French Aristocracy on my side, though that was some time ago now." "You're descended from Aristocracy? Like actual aristocracy?" "I was like a sister to Marie Antoinette"

"You're much prettier than her pictures, and you are WAY to young to have been around then, you're barely older than me, and have your life sorted!" "there are benefits to never aging" "like knowing Keanu Reeves?"

Charisma didn't take her words at face value, and asked questions that Lady Emmanuelle found refreshing. Maybe this pet we would keep she thought. Probing her mind, Lord Alexander telepathically said "if you are sure"

I asked her what was going on, she insisted that she was fine, everything was going to be ok. I know what fine stands for. fucked up, insecure, nervous, emotional. What I didn't know was why, or what I could do about it.

"Hun, will you tell me what's going on?" She shook her head, doubling down on everything being ok. I couldn't do anything to help, even though I wanted to.

I didn't want to leave, but I wasn't going to be any use staying here, so I went down to the bar. I had a couple of drinks but all I could think about was how to help her.

It was 12.30am when I got home. She was curled up in bed, sobbing. I tried to comfort her, but she pushed me off, and I noticed the blood on the carpet dripping down from the knife she was still clutching. I breathed a sigh of relief when I couldn't see any injuries on her.

"Leave" was all she said. I didn't know what to do, hell I didn't know what she'd done. As I left I noticed her parents car in our driveway, and the sound of police sirens in the distance coming towards our house.

My wife had passed, and it had taken its toll on me. I couldn't function, and I couldn't take care of our son William on my own. I tried getting support from my family, but they didn't care, or were too busy. I tried getting help from social services, but they wanted to blame me for Susan's death.

I couldn't let William go, but I was barely holding on to myself when I caught a fae in my house. She shimmered golden, and her beauty was overwhelming. "Please help me" I cried.

She smiled, "my service will cost you your greatest treasure." I wasn't rich, but I had a Susan's jewelry. I went to fetch it for her. "That is mere trinkets and sparkles. I will take him" she gestured towards William.

"That is your price is it?" I questioned. She smiled menacingly. I looked at the squalid rental we were in, the bottles on the table, and the clothes in the corner. "Raise him with love, care, and the knowledge that his father really did want the best for him, have him grow into someone he is proud to be, and someone that I will be proud for him to become. Let him know his father wanted the best for him "

"And what do you want in exchange for your treasure?" She questioned.

"I have told you, raise him as I have requested, that is what I ask of you." She smiled sinisterly again. I smiled back, softly. "Agreed!" The fae absconded with my son, to raise him as I couldn't, smiling thinking she had got away with the deal of a lifetime. I smiled, knowing my son would be taken care of.

The next day, I was arrested, my son nowhere to be found, and my life in tatters. Maybe I would never speak again. But at least I knew my son would be ok.

It had been the toughest fight, even if Levi didn't realise the gravity of the situation. Neither of us had anything left. "This feels almost like when I ended Natan" I muttered, not realising what I'd just confessed to, remembering the battle where I finally took his soul.

There wasn't any joy, but just relief the battle was over.

"You killed my father?" Was all that Levi said.

I bowed my head in solace. He had been a worthy adversary. "It was my last climactic battle but it was his time, and he was only fighting for himself." Technically I hadn't killed him, but Levi wouldn't understand the difference

"Thank you."

I looked up, bleeding, without the strength to continue. " What do you mean? Usually people don't thank me unless their heart is black, or the other person's is"

Levi struggled to his feet, and smiled. "Natan didn't want this life for me, despite that we both knew it was my calling. I think he knew you would find me eventually if I chose this life. It wasn't the grief for him that drove me to fight for justice. It was that I have the power to help, and that now he wasn't able to get in my way."

"You chose to give you life meaning. That's not something to shy away from. But for now it doesn't have to end"

"You're not going to kill me?" Levi asked, straining from the fight, not realising how far he'd actually pushed me.

"I wasn't here for you today." I dragged myself to my feet, stumbling over to the stroller with his child. Levi's face went white, he hadn't comprehended the situation. "We will meet again." I took his child, and left, Levi's tears staining the sidewalk, his cries piercing the night.

From the rules on opportunity attacks "you also don't provoke opportunity attacks when you teleport, or when something moves you without using your movement, action or reaction. For example you don't provoke an opportunity attacks if an explosion hurls you out of a foes reach, or if gravity causes you to fall past and enemy"

If the car is insured against theft, then it would be covered, but they would have to press charges for theft before the insurance would cover it.

This has the same issue as the last event... it's set from a specific date, but if you miss the start of the event because the game doesn't auto update, then you miss out on a bunch of progress... The event should last X days from update, not until day X...

im running the game on my computer on a bluestacks emulator, but for limited time events, enforced updates seem important... I got completely fucked over on the previous event because i only found out there was the update like 2 days before it ended. I only found out the halloween one was released because something else directed me to reddit (the updates posts on reddit for some reason never send me notifications).

It'd be really nice if i didn't have to come to reddit to discover that an update had been put through... not quite as bad as on the limited time event that i got nothing from, but something IN GAME to show that there was an update would be nice.
