Many, many times, people have tried creating threads for getting something useful out of magical realms, and every time it's gone one out of two ways - either it devolves into a badwrongfun shitstorm or it gets shat up by fetish posters who can't keep it in their pants.
This thread will likely fail too, but what the fuck.
In this thread, dump all the ideas that you have but you're a bit hesitant to put into your game - things that are just a bit too much in your ballpark and that you might get autismal about. Then, if another poster has posted an idea that's not your fetish at all, use your viewpoint to criticize it and tell them what to change if they don't want to be seen as autismal (or of course if it's unsalvageable). Hopefully, this should be able to give people who'd otherwise not use a potentially good idea or force in a creepy one an opportunity to hear out other people's feedback before they bring it to the table and cut in it before they become that one creep nobody wants to play with.
Most of the time, what magical realms in the making need is just an outside viewpoint and someone to tell the person to calm the fuck down and get their hands off their belt - and if they still force in their magical realm, you can still feel comfortable that only the real retards will be left.

I have a thing for BDSM, pregnancy, and corrupting the innocent. There's been a semi-recurring NPC in one of my campaigns (pathfinder), and I've been pondering having her be kidnapped by a Lamashtan cult to be rescued by the players as part of the next plotline. The NPC in question is a wandering sorceress who's not necessarily that innocent--she grew up a street rat--but she's good natured and fair-handed and has been very helpful to the PCs in the past without asking for much at all in return aside from the occasional warm meal or money for an inn room (she's pathologically incapable of holding onto money, generally either giving it away to those she perceives as 'less fortunate' or blowing it on magic shit before she realizes wait, shit, she never did learn how to conjure food from thin air. Or shelter. And there's a storm coming through. Ah hell...)

And for those unfamiliar with Pathfinder, Lamashtu is an evil deity of madness, monsters, and nightmares with a 'mother of all monsters/shub-niggurathian' vibe to her worshippers and cults. Lots of monstrous pregnancies and general evil bondage stuff.

The ploy is about as pedestrian as you can get, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with having an NPC captured by an evil cult of some stripe. It's been done countless times, and most of those times it's been pretty neutral.
But, for fuck's sakes, know where to stop. Think of how you'll imply all the horrible things that would happen to her if she isn't rescued, instead of telling the players that she'll be forced to give birth to God knows how many Dark Young or the like. As soon as you make the automatic leap from "Lamashtu" to "impregnation and corruption", your magical realm is all over the room, and you'll be forced to roleplay out scenes (or deliberately avoid them in a forced way) where you'll basically have to narrate your fetishes.
If I had to say so, I'd keep the Lamashtu part, and I'd even potentially keep the potential for corruption as long as you make it a natural change of opinions and not magical mindbreak/rape brainwashing (and do keep it down to earth and don't go all out with "I'm wearing skimpy clothes so you know I'm evil now").
But, for God's sakes, it sounds like actually making her a sex slave or the like is just going to make everyone around the table very uncomfortable. Make her scheduled to be a sacrifice (non-sexual) to a brood of eldritch horrors, or just have her captured and then made to work around the temple without any serious sexual abuse or brainwashing. The "female good guy captured by evil cult with a sexualized mother-goddess flavor and corrupted into wearing such as a skimpy outfit" has been done wrong so many times, even in mainstream comics, that literally everyone can catch on to the magical realm. Mild moral degeneration or BDSM (pure utilitarian bondage) could slip, but go past that and you might spill your spaghetti.

Fedora the Tipping v. final.pdf

I wrote Fedora: the Tipping.
I'm still not sure how many of my fetishes actually obviously come through there, and how many just blend into the general morass of fucking around and shitting on autists, but I have the feeling that it's altogether too many.
If anyone can guess what my fetishes are from just skimming the game rules, I think it's already too much, but from there it's a matter of if playing a tongue-in-cheek game is enough to defuse the spaghetti bomb or not.
I once again have a nagging feeling that it's far from enough, and might in fact only make it worse.
>>
>>48223660

The idea for the corruption was that she was, more or less, taken advantage of and that would weigh on her after her rescue--she got captured after stopping to help a young, sickly looking orphan girl who was bait for the cult.

Of course, the problem *there* is that it's the process, not the end point that does it for me--the slow burn of moral and ethical degradation starting from a singular small tipping point, so no sudden change of character to an evil bitch from it; just a nice, slow fall that one may not even easily notice.

>In this thread, dump all the ideas that you have but you're a bit hesitant to put into your game
My only player (solo campaign) is a dwarf. Should I give him a love interest or not? He resides in an overwhelmingly human region of the world, so should I shove a human girl in his direction or a dwarf girl? Both of them feel pretty fetishistic in nature.

This is why I don't like DMing for dwarves.
>>
>>48224010
I'm not sure if you're trolling or actually that autismal, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with either.
Your choices are natural and make sense according to the setting, which should completely preclude any thoughts about it being magical realm. If you're afraid of giving one of your players' characters a love interest because you think it's fetishy for other races to have love interests, you really need to see someone who can help you with your fear of sex and/or embarrassment.
Go the fuck ahead. Decide, flip a coin or whatever. It's not your fetish, and hell, it's not even a fetish. It's just giving a character a love interest that makes sense.
See, the fetishy parts come in if common fetish races such as orcs, kobolds or dragons are not only forced in as love interests where they don't make sense according to a setting written by someone without the fetish, but also portrayed in a porn-like way (orcs are all rape-beasts, dragons are huge in all ways), as well as the sex being given attention.
Even if your PC was an orc, as long as it made sense according to the setting, the relationship between them was defined entirely by their characters and not by the sexual traits of their races and they're played as living, breathing characters and not clichés, it still wouldn't qualify as magical realm.
>>
>>48224010
Well, does he *want* a love interest? If he's opposed to it as a player, trying to force one on him isn't a good idea. Otherwise, I basically agree with >>48224111.

>>48223582
Kidnapping should be fine, the question is what they will do to her before her rescue

>>48223703
I made it through the first page and it's already too much for me

>>48223797
Okay, so is that it?
It should be fine then, otherwise do you have more planned for her fall?
>>
>>48225689

Somewhat, yes. If they take to long to rescue her, I was going to have her have been involved in a sacrificial ritual--not rape, but a magical pregnancy as the result of it. Leave the NPC as a bit of an outcast due to monstrous demon child, see where it goes from there--left to her own devices she may either turn to the cult that captured her or just generally become bittered to the world as a whole.
>>
>>48224010
I hate the idea of "getting them a love interest", at least if it sounds like: "gonna get this players character shipped with my NPC!"
If you want this, make a NPC that they (and/or their Character) might be interested in and let them do the first step. If they develop interest go further but just shipping two characters doesnt make sense... Mayb its alright to make the first step as a GM but dont get full "i love like in my animuu" style.
By the way, get him a nice dwarf girl. Maybe she likes him because there are not really much dwarfs around and he reminds her of her home? Would be a good reason to talk to him and vice versa.
>>
>>48224144
this guy gets it!


>>48225932

or maybe the PCs save her in time and get her some "magical abortion" (doesnt even have to be magical) thing... a good priest should help this woman at once.
Always leave an option for the PCs to do full-fleshed good!

A shimoneta-themed game.

>>48226075

Oh, definitely so; the PCs always have the chance to be heroic, you know? Railroading's worse than shoving your magical realm into someone's face, to be honest. at least in my opinion.
>>
>>48226459
>shimoneta
Are you just making up words now?
>>
>>48226555

Just sounded like the two options were already set in stone...
Nothing a cleric and a good talk cannot cure, thats my saying.

Man, why the fuck do you insist?

>Hey, got a bad idea? Let's see if we can salvage it!

That's dumb. All these threads do is make bad ideas worse, because you try to take away the last bit of value they might have had, which is humor.

Just stop thinking with your dick, and worry about making good ideas better, instead of trying to figure out some way you can spam your fetish discussions on this board.

>>48223703

I was scrolling through at light speed and saw a phrase like "emasculated by seeing a woman more fit than the average man."

Nothing you tried to blend into a general morass could even fit into the fucking blender.

Fun fact: I'm neither an MRA nor a feminist, and that line was entirely taking the piss. Believe me or not.

I've noticed a direct correlation between liking anime and forcing shitty magical realm shit into games

Is it because anime fans are all socially inept?
>>
>>48230076
It's possible, although the more obvious correlation would be that a lot of people on this site like anime, and a lot of people on this site are socially inept, so when you see a post on this site, the chances of it being made by someone who falls into both those categories is fairly high.

>I like unscientific conjecture based on my personal prejudices
