Stupid question here, but...How do you tell a fellow player to be less of a terrible person?
There's a female player in the group who, I dunno how to say this, seems to deliberately have the worst fucking taste in men. While she never sides against the party, she seems to consistently pick men who are just sort of bad or inconvenient people to hook up with:
>Corrupt priest
>Asshole knight's dickhead uncle
>A tiefling PC's father (a human who hates his half-devil son)
>A gambler and obvious cad she bailed out a few times because it amuses her
It's like, none of this is hurting the group, but it's really getting some of the party down.
Am I being too sensitive here? I dunno it just feels really depressing when she goes like "Yeah I think I'll start banging Cardinal McGreasy or this noble who is probably a Rakasha, just because they're smooth."

Is the Tiefling's father in the wrong here? Why does he hate his son aside from the general "has the personality of a guy who plays Tiefling's"
>>
>>97901751
He thinks his wife fucked a devil, which is why his son is a tiefling. But actually his wife was infertile, so she made an infernal pact to overcome it. Her son was tainted by the pact, and is hence a tiefling.
>>
>>97901863
Papa sorta still right on this one. The mother should have been upfront from the start and prayed to a good god for fertility, there is like 600 of those motherfuckers floating around at any given time.
>>
>>97901886
Yeah but it's not his wife's or son's fault
>>
>>97901900
>It's not his wife's fault
Objectively speaking she is the only person in this situation who had any say in the matter so the accountability falls upon her for making the deal.
The father was clearly deceived and the son bears no fault but that doesn't detract from the fact that to the best of the Father's knoweldge that the Tiefling isn't his kid.
>>
>>97901863
Gotta be honest
>>
>>97901684
Why is this a problem?
>>
>>97901684
Talk to her? I don't really understand the issue beyond you feeling it's icky or something.
>>
>>97901684
No, she's not gonna fuck you.
>>
>>97901684
Start fucking the villains to one-up her, anon. There can be only one.
>>
>>97901684
>Dude, you're being a cunt, stop it.

>Am I being too sensitive here?
Yes.
>>
>woman
>repeatedly chooses the detrimental fantasy
it's realistic bait, at least.

If it is really bothering you, then you should sit down with your players and discuss this. If it's making you uncomfortable beyond the bounds of the game, then ask the problem player to tone down the offending issue or alter their behavior.

If anything, this woman is showing you that her fantasy is to be exploited by charismatic but evil men. Whst you do with that information moving forward is up to you
>>
No such thing as detrimental.
>>
>>97901684
>I don't like another player's in-character decisions
>Am I retarded?
Yes. Shut the fuck up. Quit the group. Find the nearest cliff and fall off it.
>>
>>97901926
Wouldn't that arrangement still make the Tiefling his kid though?

>Father: Fertile
>Mother: Infertile.
>Devil: Provides aid to Mother to overcome inferility.

If the kid isn't anyone's, wouldn't it technically not be the mother's?
>>
>>97901684
>A tiefling PC's father (a human who hates his half-devil son)
What's wrong with this one?
>>
>>97901713
There's nothing cryptic about his post, redditard
>>
>>97905704
Socially, bastards can belong to the father of the household, if he chooses to legitimize them, which is obviously not the case here.
Biologically the way that makes most sense would be if Devil didn't properly heal woman's ability to produce eggs, but put in her a limited supply of fiendish eggs, one of which got fertilized by the father, that way father would be a biological father, devil would be a biological mother and mother would be just a surrogate womb where the child grew. Which would explain the child's fiendish heritage on biological level and overall make the whole affair, if I can say so myself, delightfully devilish.

This woman seems funny, stop being a fag.
>>
>>97901684
Don't tell them, show them. Everything they do with their character, you do the same or worse,
They try to seduce the villian, so do you.
They steal something, you steal something.
They do random acts of cruelty, so do you.
Ape their every action. When they finally get pissed off with being upstaged (and no longer being edgy and unique) and call you out on your shitty behaviour, just explain you are only doing what they have been doing all along.

Even better, if you can do it in a funny way, it can show how rediculous their behaviour is.
>>
>>97907256
The problem is that she doesn't really care what the other PCs are doing in their off-time. She wouldn't give a shit if I did that.
And it's not like there are NPCs lining up to fuck my barbarian.
>>
>>97903352
If it doesn't actually cost her anything, why not? You'd fuck evil women if you could.
>>
she sounds fun
are you sure you're not assuming weird things when she's being funny on purpose? some people have a hard time taking jokes as literal statements around here.
If she's being disruptive about this, for example her gag romance takes ages and no one else is participating so it's all solo scenes; you can do the same thing you'd do with any other player: state your issues in a general and clear way.
>This scene is not really adding anything, maybe you and DM could leave it for after the game so we get to play
>You're being a bit overbearing, I'd like to resolve my fuckhead dad backstory instead of waiting for him to fuck your head.
>If you're gonna shag a priest make it relevant to the story, use it to get info or something so things move forward
>Stop bailing an NPC if you're gonna ask us for money later because we're using it to do group stuff

But, again, are you sure she's not doing this because she thinks it's funny to play a slut? It's just like people playing a retard or a violent asshole, it's only an issue if they're stopping the game.

THIS
You have to fight fire with fire, go fuck her dad.

A blackpill demoralisation thread, in my /tg/? More likely than you would think!

>If you're gonna shag a priest make it relevant to the story, use it to get info or something so things move forward
In the one in a billion chance that this is an actual game, this is the only thing you can say that will make a difference and get your problem player and the DM to stop and think about what they're doing. We're all adults with a limited amount of time to spend playing games and point out that they're wasting that on something with no real payoff usually puts things into perspective for people.
Romancing NPCs is like shopping in session - fun the first time you do it, but something that you quickly realise is a waste of time for everyone at the table unless you're all getting something out of it.
>>
>>97910628
Honestly they've all been plot-related so far:
>You're being a bit overbearing, I'd like to resolve my fuckhead dad backstory instead of waiting for him to fuck your head.
The tiefling guy is sort of waiting for his dad to approach him. The PC didn't actually speak with him before the gala.
>If you're gonna shag a priest make it relevant to the story, use it to get info or something so things move forward
The corrupt priest gave us some jobs for a bit and gave us a clue on how to find this magic banner, but I think fucking him is definitely a step too far, it's supposed to be 'reluctantly working with him'.
