Yeah, I refuse to play favourites, everyone at my table gets treated with the same level of sociopathic malice… Unless you bribe me with beer and dim sum I’ll make exceptions to that rule if you bring me alcohol and Chinese takeout
If you DM like this, I would suggest that you do not DM like this.
Preferential treatment and in-game consequences for out of game actions/scenarios make for angry and frustrated players, which will ruin their immersion at best and cause them to become deliberately disruptive to the game at worst.
Balanced and fair gameplay (even when bending the rules) will keep players at the table, and result in more satisfying campaigns.
The only teir lower is the poor player that made a joke about the dm, or the party that kept on sidetracking the campaign into a conversation about weather or not clymidia would give you pee extra damage and whether that damage would be fire or acid. Definitely not based on experience.
… most preferential treatment i ever gave my boyfriend: enemy crited and had multiatack and his character went unconcious. It was literaly his first game ever. So i fudged the damage so his character woudnt DIE and the bard could heal him. Lets be honest though, i would have done that for ANY newbie. Having your character die on your first game ever just sucks.
Not the point of the post but seriously what the actual fuck is with people getting married and then **hating** their partner?
If we assume based off DnD demographics and mention of girlfriend that the DM in question is male (caveat this isn’t at OP, just the asshat who’s cheating on his wife represented in the picture) it’s no wonder 70% of women initiate divorces when they’re treated like this.
Fully aware “it’s a joke” and “that’s not the point” etc but for goodness sake can we please stop normalising hating the person you’re married to?!
I DM for my gf and I personally think I’m harsher on her than others. I purposefully know I don’t want to show favoritism. Plus she knows by the tone of my voice when to stop arguing/when something has turned from a joke to serious. So she can handle it.

Aren’t magic weapons impervious to Rust Monsters’ effects?
Someone really hates Billy
Billy had it coming. The little shit.

The DM has a spouse and a boyfriend/girlfriend? ????

When we’re all besties it’s the…besties!
My players are all my children
Me as the GM: I care not from where the blood flows! The dice will decide your fate!
Wow, I thought I was scrolling r/ArethestraightsOK for a moment there
What is it with boomers and not liking their spouse?

You forgot
Brother – I *will* add HP to your bounty hunters if you keep refusing to read the player’s handbook.
This DM sounds like an asshole
Open letter to whoever this is about: Have you considered family therapy?

Wait, no one gonna point out the presence of boy/girlfriend AND spouse…?
Y’all have a group to play with?
As told in EXU: “Sorry is a free action, bitch”

Rust monsters don’t do anything to magical weapons, armour or ammunition.
I killed my husband’s character after misunderstanding RAW. Can’t imagine what kind of wrath I’ll set on my future kids.
