I played a gay black dwarf bear barbarian that raped people for a one shot.

It was pretty funny, although the DM clearly didn't like me raping that Troll.

If it's played for laughs then it's not actually a magical realm.

huh?
>>
>>47182268

It refers to the audience, not the speaker. "I make dick jokes in mixed company" doesn't indicate the gender of the speaker, nor does the original response of "That's childish." Gender of the speaker wasn't a factor until the "bawwww this is unfair to men'" comment.

>>
>>47182578
>deliberately misses the point

The point was that posting "deliberately offending people is hella fun" was a juvenile sentiment - just like posting stories about pulling your Magical Realm out at someone's table. Adults have sex IRL, so we don't need to fantasize about it with a group of panting neckbeards - and when underageb& faggots try it, it's just creepy. So, no. Creepster faggotry is never okay. No matter how funny you think your dick is, you're wrong.
>>
>>47182578
The point, idiot, is that the social taboos for "mixed company" are the social taboos for men around women. They don't apply to women, just like they apply regardless of how many men the "mixed" company has.

>>47181869

On the other hand, doing it with someone who gets embarrassed but not offended is fucking hilarious.

I would say you can have political magical realm and one could even say sexual magical realm is a subset of political magical realm.

I got so damn tired for awhile of reading fiction because it seemed everything was the author's hot political opinions + views on sex. Not even political opinions and sexual views I particularly found disagreeable, just really patronizing.

However, references people don't get isn't magical realm. "The dire jew latches onto your money pouch, minus 12 gold points" may be magical realm however.

>>
>>47183203
>I would say you can have political magical realm and one could even say sexual magical realm is a subset of political magical realm.

And since I feel this needs to be expanded: I suggest the default, sexual magical realm is ultimately political in nature, because it intrinsically involves the public affairs of the campaign setting being warped beyond probability to satisfy the peccadilloes of the author.

Basically the overriding theme is taking something that should be private, making it VERY public, and making people act VERY improbable to satisfy your private peccadilloes. Politics and sex both fit.
>>
>>47183277
If taken out of context then D&D does look like a very deranged ancap fantasyland, though this is more due to what makes a good game than political views (gold is tangible, physical conflict is tangible, sneaking and traps are tangible, death is usually binary)
>>
>>47183316
>kingdoms and empires and city-states
Get that statist shit out before calling it ancap!
>>
>>47183401
The usual assumption does seem to be that they are useless, NPC kings etc. are useless; the only thing that matters are how rich the PCs are, and any taxation or prohibition on what weapons the PCs may buy means the state is automatically in the wrong.

Presumably, say, a commie oriented RPG would still have capitalists in it, they would just range from outright antagonists to obstructionist useless retards with regards to the PCs, ie the role of the existing 'statists' in most D&D campaigns.
>>
>>47183579
Good point. Plus evil empires are the villains. And it's mere semantics between adventuring party and adventuring COMPANY

It depends.

My magical realm is monster chicks, which is admittedly is one of the easier magical realms to insert into a fantasy game. I've got an NPC who constantly gets "kidnapped" by monster women, with the party being hired by his nobleman father to rescue him.

He's basically trying to get laid with something that will most likely either suck out his soul, eat him, or make him their slave for all eternity after they're done with him. So it's less that he's being kidnapped and more looking for monster pussy and getting into dangerous situations, but obviously the "kidnapped" explanation is the story the nobleman would rather put out.

Each of his escapades end up with him closer and closer to getting laid, but the party ends up "rescuing" him right before anything can happen, much to his dismay.

My group thinks it's hilarious, but your group might not. When doing something for humor, you have to think about what your group will find funny and acceptable. Obviously, you wouldn't make humor out of magical realm if you're playing with something like a church youth group, but when you're around like-minded perverts and degenerates, it's all in good fun.

Once had a sex scene with a female DM who had a thing for minotaurs (playing a minotaur bard) front of the whole group. I didn't know these people, having taken the DMs number who was recruiting from a local game shop so I didn't care for them anyways. The line that started it all was some gnome bar lady offering us drink

It's like knowing that something wasn't always around and just being raised with it and such a history of it you couldn't imagine it not being around.

The former lets you know that it's new and erases any idea that you might have that it's intrinsic, while the latter gives an illusion of hundreds of years of agreement. You can pass off anyone before that point as just not knowing enough to realize the truth anyway.

>>47188896
Also this. Magical realm, by its definition, is exclusive to the the GM and/or perhaps another player. It's something that's uncomfortable to force on the group.

If I took a group and promised them all sexy amazon women, and they all liked it, it's no longer magical realm.

This. Some things are better kept secret and not looked at as more than a fetish or kink that you're slightly ashamed of. You might not even agree with all of it, or feel disgusted after the fap, or really like only certain specific details. /d/ can go crazy when you take a general topic and allow anything related in, across the spectrum.

Cuteness and vanilla sex, however, will stay attractive for a long time.
>>
>>47189081
Putting shit you get off to into your games and making everyone else experience it.

If you are a DM that likes girls being sex slaves and you keep putting your party in situations with female sex slaves to get you off, it's a magical realm.

What matters is are the players ok with your magical realm shit.

It might be just a coincidence but everyone has gravitated towards charisma based classes. No wizard in the party. As much of a joke as it is we use feats and spells from the book of erotic fantasy.

I am legitimately curious to see if he plays it straight or not. If he breathes a little heavy when I gently pat my fairy friend on the head with one finger and call her cute, it's not that bad.

I try to hold back my lewdness, so I just end up using them a lot as guardians and companions for some quests. And I use the Feywild plane in 5e a lot. I made up a lot of plot points there, just to have the excuse to use more fairies. And I made a lot of homebrew fairies.

If you're just doing weird sexual jokes and everyone's laughing then it's fine.

Magical realms are never funny, because if you're just poking fun at the piss forest in a casual one-shot it's not magical realm. If your fetish is the piss forest, it's never just for laughs, and you've tricked your party into smiling at something that gives you a boner.

It depends on the fetish and how deep you go into it, if my DM has an amputation fetish I have no problem with him adding crippled girls, I can even tolerate him sexualizing and explicitly describing the mutilation of a NPC once in a while, but if he stars to mutilate PCs just to get himself off then it becomes unaceptable

As a general rule if the magical realm starst to affect the PCs it's a sign you've gone too far
