Chapter 1: What is the theme of today's gaming stories?

0.389 - 25.645 George Primavera

Did you know that many products for pregnant women do not have their own clinical trials for safety or efficacy? That's because pregnant women are often excluded from clinical studies. Ritual is aiming to set a new standard with their essential prenatal multivitamin. It's the number one best-selling prenatal and the only leading prenatal backed by its own human clinical trial.

0

Chapter 2: Am I the Asshole for not wanting to play my girlfriend's game?

26.365 - 52.901 George Primavera

Essential prenatal is proven to deliver key nutrients, including folate, biotin, and vitamin D during pregnancy. Moms taking essential prenatal had a lower overall cortisol level during pregnancy than those taking a leading prenatal. Plus, it's designed to be gentle on the stomach. Ritual doesn't just have your back. They have the receipts. Get 25% off at ritual.com slash clinical.

90.443 - 116.352 Spencer Agnew

Hello and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane and today the theme is gaming. A lot of tabletop gaming. We have two people here who know a little bit about tabletop gaming. We have Spencer and George Primavera joining us. What's up? Two game masters. Gamers. You guys are professional gamers. Quite literally. On the regular, yeah. Yeah.

0

116.392 - 118.893 Spencer Agnew

Spencer, I mean, I don't know where you do your gaming.

120.193 - 121.613 Shayne Topp

I don't know anymore.

121.713 - 142.397 Spencer Agnew

Yeah, but George, you're over at Critical Role doing all sorts of fun stuff. Yeah, yeah. I am one of the co-DMs for the Reslayer's Take on Critical Role. I'm the DM for a podcast called Hero Club and do all sorts of D&D related stuff on a podcast called Total Party Skill. So I'm all up in the D&D world right now.

143.197 - 154.946 Spencer Agnew

And if you haven't checked out Dread, our Dread series over at Smosh Games, George is the one who runs all those stories for us, and man, it's always a blast. Those are so fun. If you haven't checked those out, go check those out.

156.207 - 158.869 Shayne Topp

I think it's the best thing we've done at Smosh Games.

Chapter 3: What happens when a DM kills a character for no reason?

178.186 - 196.725 Spencer Agnew

So when we're talking about families, partners playing board games, shit can get real. Oh yeah. We're about to see some stories here and see what happens. Our first story comes from Am I the Asshole? Am I the asshole for not wanting to play a game my girlfriend created?

0

196.745 - 200.809 George Primavera

Oh no. Oh no.

0

202.219 - 215.568 Spencer Agnew

Dude, already, that's a heater. Oh, this is awesome. Kim coming out hot. So we have a 27-year-old guy here. He says, my girlfriend, who's 24, has been working on a visual novel game as a side project for almost two years and recently finished it.

0

216.008 - 232.858 Spencer Agnew

She wanted me to play it, but I initially declined since I'm not into visual novels or reading long stories, but after she begged, I gave it a try and played for a good 15 minutes. Now I can tell she put in a lot of effort in the writing and the art and it was a good start but I just got tired of reading and stopped.

0

233.258 - 252.589 Spencer Agnew

She asked what I thought and wanted me to eventually finish it and tell her what I thought about the choices and the endings but I told her I had no plans to. She looked shocked and asked if it was boring. I told her no, it's just that I'm just not into this type of genre and she knows I'm not into reading but asked me to make an exception this time since she made it.

253.189 - 271.734 Spencer Agnew

I got upset because I think she is being childish and wants to blackmail me into doing something I don't want. After I made it clear I wasn't continuing, she hasn't talked to me since. I already know that she is talented and smart, so just because I don't wanna play it doesn't mean I don't support her. Some of my friends agree she's being immature, but others think I should be more supportive.

272.394 - 273.314 Spencer Agnew

So am I the asshole?

273.734 - 277.295 Shayne Topp

This is literally how it feels when you guys aren't into a game that I put on Smosh Games.

280.018 - 281.62 Shayne Topp

This board game sucks, dude.

Chapter 4: What are the worst Craigslist D&D requests?

292.67 - 296.614 Shayne Topp

No, I was going to say, when you threw blackmail, I was like, what is that?

0

296.634 - 297.575 Spencer Agnew

You mean asking?

0

297.595 - 305.56 Shayne Topp

Yeah. Yeah, what the fuck? What was the line he said? He's like, I'm not going to put any more time into this. Yeah, he put 15 minutes into it.

0

305.58 - 315.144 Spencer Agnew

15 minutes. So at least you should work out for two years. He knows I don't like to read. It's like, uh. Babe, you know I don't like reading. Uh, reading and artwork? Uh, it's a whole lot, babe.

0

315.224 - 318.326 Shayne Topp

Babe, you don't know. You know I don't love engaging with the things you've created.

320.407 - 330.817 Spencer Agnew

Yeah, I think he's clearly missing the entire point of like, oh, this isn't my genre. It's like, that's cool, man. Who cares? Yeah, it doesn't really matter. She's been working on this for two years.

331.278 - 343.008 Shayne Topp

If he had said an hour, maybe I might have felt like a little sliver of like, oh, you gave it the old college try. 15 minutes is crazy.

343.068 - 368.804 Spencer Agnew

How full a cereal is 15 minutes? She's not even asking him to read it and enjoy it. She's like, I want your help. Here's something I'm passionate about. Here's something I'm working on. Can I get your opinion on this? And that could be anything. What does he care about? I don't fucking know what this guy actually likes. That guy likes Gatorade and bicep day. He's like, I don't read. Sorry, babe.

369.285 - 387.493 Spencer Agnew

I'm done reading. I got to go back to watching porn. I just, if anything, the fact that he doesn't like it means that he would probably have valuable insight to improve it and make it more broadly applicable if he actually cared about giving some feedback. Yeah, like a non, just a different perspective on it.

Chapter 5: How does sexism manifest in tabletop gaming?

660.192 - 681.865 Spencer Agnew

Doki Doki Literature Club is like close. And then also there's Dream Daddy. Yeah, exactly. I've not heard of a single one of these so far. These are like dating sims. So it's like Dream Daddy is the one where like you're a new dad in this neighborhood where there's tons of hot dads. You're a hot dad talking to other hot dads. Okay, cool. It's really cool.

0

685.512 - 693.376 Shayne Topp

I think dating sims and visual novels are often conflated. I think there's a lot of elements that they share.

0

693.496 - 715.671 Spencer Agnew

There's a walking simulator that is kind of a visual novel that I love called Firewatch. Oh, I love Firewatch. Our sound guy, Scott, loves Firewatch too. I saw his hands pumping in the air. Firewatch is incredible. No, I respect it, but I have not participated too much. But I wouldn't play more than 15 minutes. I'd probably play a little bit. Otherwise, that's blackmail. Yeah.

0

715.951 - 724.674 Shayne Topp

Otherwise, essentially, anytime, yeah, if your partner makes you do something, I'm like, I'm being blackmailed. You're committing fraud right now.

0

725.335 - 731.137 Spencer Agnew

Legally, I shouldn't be talking to you. Today's Red Stories is brought to you by ZocDoc.

731.601 - 756.859 George Primavera

Did you know that many products for pregnant women do not have their own clinical trials for safety or efficacy? That's because pregnant women are often excluded from clinical studies.

791.932 - 810.946 Emily Rose Jacobson

Hey, das ist für dich. Egal wie du frühstückst. Ob mit deinem Lieblingsmüsli, einer fruchtigen Bowl oder cremig schaumigen Kaffee. Mit Alpro wird jedes Frühstück einfach für einen gesunden Start in den Tag. Mit wertvollen Vitaminen und Mineralien. Ohne Zuckerzusatz. Und immer phantastisch lecker. Alpro.

Chapter 6: Why is communication key in a D&D group?

1887.28 - 1904.536 Spencer Agnew

It's funny. Right, right. Yeah. There is a major element of, like, clearly this is a consenting individual. That's all fine. I want to be nowhere near this. Yeah. Oh, yeah. If I was there, I'd be like, no, thanks. No, dude, I'll be logging out. Here's the problem with Zoom, though, is that, like, I don't trust that these guys aren't going to record. Screenshot them. They're going to record this.

0

1905.016 - 1905.216 Shayne Topp

Oh, yeah.

0

1905.236 - 1921.186 Spencer Agnew

And it's like, hey, like, come on. That's not worth $100. No, no protections. That's more. No, there is a lot of nuance. There's tons of nuance. But I get what you're saying of like, hey, if you're paying someone and they said they're down, fine. Do I want to be in that game?

0

1921.206 - 1922.847 Shayne Topp

Do I want to be in the game? No.

0

1922.867 - 1934.653 Spencer Agnew

It's still funny as fuck. It's not lasting five minutes. You'll be like, oh, priestess, actually, not yet. Join us on our quest. And the DM's like, you have to join them.

1936.001 - 1943.527 Shayne Topp

We'll see you next week. I love giving her like, I'm going to text you somewhere between four and six. That's like the beginning of driving. It's like, I'm going to give you a five minute window.

1943.747 - 1949.712 Spencer Agnew

Yeah, dude. Okay, comment. Imagine the hour and 55 minutes.

1950.172 - 1963.729 Shayne Topp

Just at your computer, just no sure on just your reflection in the fucking... I'm gonna need a beautiful naked priest hanging dong. 50 bucks an hour, 50 bucks an hour.

1964.07 - 1982.721 Spencer Agnew

Comments, I'm on the fence with this. It seems pretty straight and upfront about what they're looking for. Yeah, it's straight. Even if it feels a bit, even if it feels a bit cringey, I know a couple of extroverted RPG playing friends who wouldn't immediately rule this out, though they'd certainly have questions. And one would definitely be whether the players were all on board with the nudity.
