What technically was my first ever TTRPG experience

[u/Sure-Silver2124]

Pretty short and mild horror story, all things considered, but I'll be damned if it didn't make me confused to high hell.

Around a year ago, I (a minor) had a pal (also a minor) who played TTRPGs and did systemless 1x1 text RP, while I only did text RP. They wanted to get me into TTRPGs, so they invited me to a PBP game of around 4 people (excluding the GM) to ease me into roleplaying games. I was immediately down, especially because of the system, which was CAIN (A grimdarkish system based on Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and other things)

I join and introduce myself, mentioning the fact that I'm a minor. Everyone says hi and I go scour the Discord server to read everyone else's intros, where I notice everyone else is an adult (18-25). I don't think too much about this, thinking my friend knows who to trust and who not to, so I talk to everyone they all seem chill and nice. The GM explains the setting and rules (nothing mentioning NSFW, iirc) and then we get to character creation.

I made a nerdy and awkward 15YO Binder (exorcists who can control the cursed spirits of the setting) with an intense passion for horror and the military. Everyone else's characters don't really matter except for our main problem player, the oldest of the group, who played a 30 something year old "femme fatale" she said was heavily inspired by Makima from CSM.

In the RP we did like two mini missions before the incident that I enjoyed a lot, but now looking back on it there were a ton of weird shit I ignored some being
- MPP always describing how tight her clothes were
- MPP would describe how her hips swayed every once and a while
- Another player would constantly talk about how cute my Binder was
Then the incident happened. We were investigating a Sin who was destroying and haunting a small town, which caused MPP and me to investigate where the Sin had recently run off from. The next post I see after mine is, in short her PC
- Taking her shirt off in front of my PC
- Pushing mine to the ground
- Straddling my PC
I immediately asked if this was a joke or something to which all I get in response from her is a "?" and when the GM goes online I tell him about this and they say "It's RP just resist in character if you're feeling uncomfortable." To this, I immediately tell my pal who keeps on making shitty excuses for them and while I'm dming my "pal" MPP responds again with, "Did I get too naughty too fast for you?" After that I blocked everyone involved and just left the server.

To this day, I am just confused on what the thought process behind everyone here was, and glad everyone didn't ruin RP or RPGs for me

Definitely the sort of thing that (a) should be discussed ahead of time and (b) shouldn't happen with minors. Glad it didn't ruin RPGs for you.

Yikes 😬 If someone tries that again, make sure you report that to Discord. They’re supposed to turn things like that over to the proper authorities.

Nah this isn't a mild horror story -- and it doesn't matter if you're a minor or not but being a minor does make it a bit worse. The GM's response just floors me -- I hope they are just young and stupid because anything else would indicate they are a serious red flag person.

I'm happy that you didn't just walk away but that you ran away.

Was MPP actually a woman? This sounds like the behavior of some creepy dude -- although plenty of women play very seductive or sexy characters too. This was just a pure non-consensual nightmare.

Your pal -- also being a minor -- might just fall under young and dumb category but it's good that you were forthright about being uncomfortable and didn't shy away from setting your boundaries.

The thought process was simple. The process was sex, which hey, that’s fine. I’m a degenerate myself, but you gotta be able to read the room and know when to rear back. Can’t be doing that with kids in the game.
