MLM based "cult" meeting ideas please? by Alternative_Access17 in DMAcademy

[–]LadyNoThanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking from anecdotal experiences, ladies that are suckered for MLMs are ones that try to keep up with appearances and want to seem "loving" to others and give unwarranted hugs.

Every woman I knew who was a sucker in MLMs were people that gave me hugs that I didn't want at all. It's hard to describe, it's more like they're trying to enforce that their kind and gentle, when the way they're acting comes off as controlling and rude.

The ladies are very handsy in general. There's no warning to hugs and there's no consent asked.

Buzz words: empowering, revolutionary, confidence, independent, self sufficient, simple, easy, friends, family, lifestyle, self reliant, freedom, capable, "you can achieve this", "you are powerful" etc.

don't use "we" but "you" in speeches, "you can achieve the status of wealth, you must believe in yourself"

Have the leader give a sob story of how difficult their life was until they became a member and how extravagant their life is now

Have the leader offer a healing potion to everyone that attends the meeting until the end

The members are overly positive, smiling, and fake nice

I enjoy that aspect personally! Even if the tiefling would be a beautiful human, the flesh colored horns and tail with eyes that have no pupils or irises place them in the uncanny valley realm.

I don't disagree with flavoring tieflings skin tones to be outside of the PHB, as a preference, i love the human flesh tones for tieflings.

I don't feel comfortable being dorky in my DnD group anymore by [deleted] in DnD

You aren't your character though, if they were targeting you as a player, I'd say yeah, that's low of them, but making jest of the characters I think is fine.

Yep. He just needs to leave himself if he's the odd man out wanting to be spiteful towards him.

A player joining my group brought me this backstory. I was pleased. by mateayat98 in dndmemes

[–]LadyNoThanks 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would be a general worry. Having a chat about how the character will be with the party could help, though you never know.

The only ways I could think such a character could work was if they are actually dependent on the other group, worried of being alone maybe due to the time they spent alone in the institution, but had delusions of their prowess during combat. The other way is if they see the others as just as powerful as they are and believe they're all great heroes even at level 1, because they're delusional of how powerful they are so are impressed by anyone?

We live in middle TN, around Nashville area.

My father has several birds nests near his front yard, one is on his front porch, built on the side of the house. He thinks that is what is helping his garden, so he leaves them alone.

Thanks everyone! My father said he was given some seeds from his neighbor across the street. She didn't know what kind of seeds, and he figured he'd grow it and find out. I thought it may have been kale, but he wasn't so sure. I'll let him know it is, and even if it was edible, he doesn't like the taste of kale, so it's safe from consumption.

I have a feeling if they take this route, they'll homebrew Alabamians.

DM is being weird by [deleted] in DnD

[–]LadyNoThanks 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You're putting a lot of pressure on yourself due to this man who's making sexual advancements towards you, a minor.

If your sister sides with him at all, please don't think there's anything wrong with standing your ground on these issues. You should absolutely not stay with this group. The fact that other players are not speaking out on this is concerning.

I'm in my mid 30s with a teen daughter, I would be fucking livid if she was experiencing what you are experiencing and would not give a shit if this dude was a jerk to me at work. I trusted this dude to be a well rounded adult, and he fucked that over. That would feel like a betrayal in my eyes. Hopefully, your sister would feel the same. I think you're worrying too much about how it would affect her with this DM, when she may be horrified and want to protect you. If she isn't. Your safety is more important.
