So fun seeing people try a new thing and be brave. You are so encouraging, PLP. Makes a felow DM proud.

I'm curious if anyone here as had a chance to mix their love of the erotic with their love of TTRPGs.

D&D, that stands for Deviants and Depravity right?

For some. Others have used the abbreviation to cover Dopamine & Depression, Dollars & Drugs, Demons & Damnation, a larger bra cup size, and likely quite a few more I’ve yet to see.

There are several adult themed source books out there.

I've read a couple, wasn't particularly impressed. Kinda hard to play Fifi the Maid as a tabletop character, IMO - mechanics aren't right for the goal(s)

Then again, I did play and enjoy AAD&D - Alcoholics' Anonymous D&D. You take sips instead of hit point damage...

I sent this to my wife today, telling her I want to run a vampire campaign.
She got VERY excited for the idea.

I told her it wouldn't be like True Blood - the vampires probably wouldn't be sexy. There wouldn't be a vampire Skarsgard.
She got significantly less excited.

As long as they don’t have a semi historically-accurate impaling fetish, it should all work out…

You need to post this on "So This is Lit" because the way I just snorted

I don't wanna toot my own horn, but I'd make a very realistic Colin Robinson.

Sorry, someone who gets off on sitting people on tall stakes needs to be gone. That’s not survivable.

If you’re into bondage and anal and can safely walk away after, great, knock yer Sox off. The history around Tepesh/Drakul should never happen again, however.

Sorry you're right. I was making light of something horrific to make an anal joke.

Love that show!

I played a quick two session FATE game with my kids and niece over Covid that was WWDITS in Suburban L.A. it was so fantastic!

S’ok, ya could say I started it with that first reply. This IS Literotica after all, not Lithistorica… I shoulda suspected someone might ‘take that the wrong way’ for lack of less of a double-entendre

That sounds fun!

I've played a couple one-shots of Vampire: the Masquerade. And I liked the game itself and the GM. But I didn't like a couple of the other players in the second game. They were very judgy that I didn't know what I was doing... Like, dude, that's kind of the point of playing the one-shot. I'm not gonna know what I'm doing, and you're not supposed to get pissy about it. Go back to your years-long campaign if you're gonna whine about new players. Thankfully the GM was awesome and shut the two dudes down. But it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Which sucked, because I really like the game system.

I'll have to look into FATE.

FATE can be hard to wrap your head around. It’s very loose. It worked perfectly here because my kids basically just wanted to be silly vampire caricatures and all the fights were very cartoony. But it did work, it also worked well for the G.I. Joe comic book game I ran, but I found more veteran gamers had a harder time adapting. YMMV.

I'm browsing through my LGS's Discord now to see if anyone there runs FATE. Looks like it, but not as a regular thing. More like, "hey I'll be at the store running this on a random Tuesday if anyone wants to come." That sort of thing.

I also had to google YMMV. I am old.

FATE is great for narrativists, looking to jointly tell a story. It’s difficult for gamists because it’s pretty loosey-goosey in the rules, so finding mechanical ‘winning strategies’ can be quite challenging. Simulationists have the hardest time with it in my experience. That said, it’s a great system for narrative-heavy groups, pretty smooth, lightweight enough to keep the creativity flowing. IMO, ymmv, ‘course.

One of these days I'll actually look more into these games. I do love the art I see around them, though.

Honestly, i don’t think tabletop rpgs are for everyone. Different ways of thinking - not better or worse, just different - affect how much fun you can get up to in such a setting. If they’re not your cuppa tea, ok, hope you can find some other endeavor you can enjoy!

That being said, there’re better and worse ways to try ttrpg’s. One of the biggest is to find a group you can relax around and banter with. Another is finding a group that doesn’t take themselves too seriously, but also aren’t purely chaotic. Interpersonal positives can often make good games better, and negatives can drive the fun out.
