Our 'That guy' was a real pain in the behind, as he would throw tantrums when his "cleverly thought out plans" never worked. In reality, he was a wizard and only spammed fireball with the occasional magic missile, complaining when he ran out of slots. We all, the DM especially, were done with the crap, so he worked with me to make a 'special' encounter for the wizard. After going to the tavern after a dungeon crawl and doing all of that, everyone left for the inn, everyone but the Wizard and myself. A sort of gang/cult entered the tavern and started causing all kinds of problems. The wizard, overconfident from the 'successful' dungeon crawl we did earlier, walked up and, not so polietly, told them to screw off. One barfight later and the wizard is bleeding out on the floor. The player is throwing a tantrum and is basically screaming at me to heal them. (Quick note. So far, I've role played my character as the stereotypical "shy healer." She'll make sure everyone stays in top shape and will do what's best for everyone. Another thing is that she'll always bless enemies before killing them. Key words: so far) My character slowly walked over to his body on the floor. Oddly enough, the gang/cult is doing nothing to stop me from approaching him to heal him back up. I begin to say "I'd like to lower my hand to his face and cast-" before he starts to explain how he gets up afterward and casts a spell. The DM says "wait a moment, let Luna (my character's name) finish." I couldn't help but smile, as the DM knew exactly what I was about to do. I calmly say "With a soft smile, Luna whispers in [Wizard's] ear, 'Burn in hell' and casts inflict wounds." The look on his face was priceless. What followed was an ammount of yelling, threats, slurs, and him being kicked from the campaign. We were planning on revealing that I was part of the cult in a much different way, but it was a lot sweeter to have Luna get revenge on the wizard, who treated her as a healbot rather than a person. Also, the other players having to role play normally, knowing one of their members was part of the cult they were opposing was incredible.

My first time as a DM, slight Dragon of Icespire Peak spoilers ahead. Also, TL;DR included. So this is my first session as a DM, and third playing ever. My group entered Gnomengarde, to clear out the man-eating monster (a mimic). So, they got to the room with the Mimic, which was disguised as a barrel. Now, this player, let's call him Rogue, since that's what he was playing, tells me he wants to... well, fuck the barrel. As a joke, I told him to roll performance. 17, no proficiencies. Now this roll didn't matter, but it made what happened next all the better. Now, the Mimic, according to the module, is hidden as one of the 8 barrels in the north. The player said he wanted to bang the third barrel off the left wall, so, I rolled a d8 for it. 3. Another player, who was watching me occasionally and giving advice (since he was also a DM), and watched this whole next part go down. So I tell Rogue, that, as he unzips and goes to stick his schlong in the spigot, it morphs into a sludge-like substance and grabs him by the balls. This was my first time ever doing this, and I did so with a straight face - "Roll initiative". Now, I guess the Mimic a surprise round. Hit and dropped Rogue to 2 hp. Then, in initiative order, Rogue goes first. He asked if there was any way he could escape, so I told him that the Mimic's limbs were sticky, so he would need some way to sever the point of contact. Without thinking, Rogue immediately says: "I'd like to cut off my testicles with my dagger". Whole table laughs. He rolled plenty high enough (I gave him a low DC), and to be nice, I said he only took 1 damage from it. Fast-forward a few rounds, and the Mimic was too occupied with our cleric duo to finish off his target, and the sorcerer patched up Rogue's wounds. They defeated the Mimic, but the Rogue lost his fellas in the process. TL;DR - first time DM has to deal with horny player, horny player tries to bang a mimic, gets grabbed by the balls, and has to castrate himself to escape Also, side note, I've been a long time supporter, and love your guys' content. Keep up the amazing work <3

There was a time in our campaign where the whole party was meeting someone that was above the level of a God. They were supremely powerful. This being was giving us a little information about why there messing with our lives so much. However any time any of us interupted him he just snapped his fingers and killed us instantly. Then brought us back as if it never happened but we still had the memories of it. So it didn't really have any consequences but it sure did make us stop from trying to interfere with this guy's plans

My friends said that they once had a girl who’d cheat by rolling where others couldn’t see and then tell them the result. Eventually the DM gave her a fake d20 that only had 1-8 written on it and told her to roll it. She takes it without looking, rolls it, called 16 or something and got called out for cheating. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I think she actually just rolled and grabbed the die really fast before anyone else could get a good look at it. Rolling out of sight wouldn’t have ever been allowed.

We were fighting shades, he was trying to stop everyone else from trying to help take them down. What he did was cast Thunderwave, but the shade he cast it on rolled a nat20, so it ABSORBED the spell and the other 4 shades and turned into a storm(as we called it, zappy cloud boi), and it was only targeting him. After refusing to let others hit this thing he was yelling at me(Level 4 Druid) and our Level 3 Cleric duo to “shut up and heal him”. We all decided to heal others who were being hit by the storm and just like that, a jerks 2 year old character was dead. :)

Well, I asked the DM if we could do a little more roleplaying (first session, we all have been there). He said yes. Then I casted mage hand on the mouth of the player that annoyed me. The DM muted him on discord. After that nobody tried to interupt me

I have a player who loots everything. They just defeated a Champion for a Goddess. What does he do, loot the armor and put it in his bag of holding. He goes to grab it and it disappeared. Another player thought I should have made it that the armor is normal size in the extra dimension therefore making his bag of holding inoperable. Now I have an idea for later.

I am the dm and My character wanted to fight another player of mine, who has some special statice/ability/spells because of what we worked out. Anyways, i told him if he wanted to fight the other player ther was a peking order he had to go through. He said he wanted to so we did a dream sequence. His first opponet was a storm giant (or was it a frost giant? Idk) he gets a total of 8 points of damage delt, then gets one shot. (He had roughly 18 hp, and the atack did roughly 34.) About a week later he said that he wanted to fight the dungeon master, thinking he'd fight the flaming badger i have, well i through at him the entity called "Dungeon Master" (basicly the creator of the multy-vurses and all of the dietys ever imaginable). Now not wanting to kill him, even though we were in a dream sequence, i had him go after a bunch of 2e kobalds (half hit point, dog men) roughly 4 google of them. Look that up, its a big number, i also gave him an hour of in game time to do anything he could imagine, and the first thing he does is bitch slap a badger. Anywas, with the hour he mad a minefeild of 9th level homebrew spells. Then the fight begains. 10 minuts in i said "f' it their smart now.and had them deactivate the minefwild before they were in the danger zone. Seeing this he summons two terasekes (big legendary dino creature that is considerd a world ending event if just one shows up) to his side and runs through the dream void that he is in. Obvisly the cobalds follow, and with the help.od roughly 2000000 kobald shamans working together they one shot both terasks, and begain to chase them After a wile of runing he comes bacl to were he started and he uses one of his spells to fling himself upwards so as he fell he would wake up. He effectively killed a little over 2 google worth of kobalds, and made me very impreased. But i dont think he liked it. He would have died in seconds if he didnt wake himself up.

I wasn't the DM and this wasn't dnd, it was custommade Jojo system and the DM is pretty chill and will allow anything, but you must accept the consequences of your actions. This was before the app creators of mrpg decided to practically steal a bunch of money from their supporters. Anyways, I was playing as a jjba version of Six from little nightmares and I even made the name Six into a combination of the first three letters of her first, middle and last names. It was going well until he came along. The that guy who will be known as Kozma. Kozma was a gm that made me a co-gm for a MHA campaign because I could make a system and sheet for it. But I shortly left it immediately after because he was having an underaged erp with this campaign. I didn't warn the gm at first since it had been a few months since the whole thing and thought he could have changed, but boy was I wrong. Kozma would spam the hell out of his stand's ability, which would force anyone or thing to do as he said, making him avoid encounters and it got boring, so the gm threatened to make a limit for everyone on how many times they can use their abilities, and Kozma backed off immediately and this was the final time before he left. The incident that made him leave was when he had been too stupid to realize how many mistakes he made. Six had been injured from a knife fight in order to save a daughter from the mafia, and she decided to hide outside the base of some very powerful people where she, and old man waited because one of their allies was captured and they needed a plan. Kozma decided to make mistake one that lead to his demise, answering the radio of the man we knocked out. This lead to the base going into full alert and it made it even harder to save the guy that was captured. The next mistake he made was trying to dress like the guy we knocked out and sneak into the base. I knew better and knew to hide and wait out the alert instead. Kozma then made his final mistake, acting like a coward and then trying to get an attack off instead of being confident and accusing the guy that accused him that he was the imposter that the guy was an imposter. Initiative ensued and he was getting destroyed when he could have done different dice rolls and been relatively okay. He blamed the gm that the campaign was crap and that he was so stupid because of how the situation escalated when it was his fault. He left after his tantrum and the camp is going to be starting up again soon. I later ran into him in a different campaign and a different gm. I immediately warned the gm and Kozma was still being the complete that guy, and even tried to cheat on one of his stats and then he left for hours and demanded he was just with the group because he didn't plan on us rping still. He had another tantrum before leaving that campaign. I haven't seen him myself in months on the app, but I hope to god that any campaigns he's in don't die because of him.

I remember I was playing a bard, Rudy. Our "that guy/girl" was a pain in the ass, she was incredibly rude to some of the male players and made racist remarks sometimes. Her main character dynamic was out of the goddamn hand. Then my boyfriend/the DM simply placed the concept that there was an abandoned castle and we chose our rooms. One thing every person playing DnD should know is that you dont trust the DM with sleeping in an abandoned building so she (of course) chose the biggest room. She went into said room and DM gave me "that look" that says: "Im about to pull something lol" and then like the troll DM is he asked her to roll to sleep. She rolled a Natural 1 😀 She managed to fall asleep and had a nightmare but my boyfriend sent a mimic to cover itself as her clothes. She woke up that morning and attempted to put on her clothes. She got attacked by said mimic and almost died, props to Justi

I've never played before. I hardly know the basics of the game and I'm supposed to DM. I can almost hear the players (also first timers) say how boring it is and that Stranger things is lying. I'm terrified and don't know, what to do. So many rules, so many numbers, so many items, so many spells. I don't even know, how to make treasure chest loot. What I'm saying is, this will be a campaign, where the players shut down a DM.

I wad that guy. I was a half orc rogue who kept texting my Dm (my brother) which PC at the table I wanted to pickpocket next and refusing to participate in any combat because "it didn't fit my backstory of being a coward". During our second session, After failing for the third time that day trying to pickpocket the paladin and several other less than perfect attempt on the other players, he looked me straight in the eye and said "the paladin breaks both your arms and no one wants to heal you" . I looked around the table to see our healer (my real life wife) nod in agreement. Thankfully Covid happened before our next session giving me time to retcon his personality

I don't know if this counts as "that player" but I have a player who constantly calls his roles, and I is the dungeon master get kind of frustrated by that. If you want to intimidate someone or if you're trying to persuade an NPC, and you're just rolling intimidation or persuasion checks it makes the game kind of boring. Most of the time I don't tell my players to roll until after they role played something, because if they will play an intimidation check really good I will give them advantage. The number of times that I've had to tell this player " I'm the dungeon master I tell you when to roll" frustrates me to no end but he is one of my friends, so I tried to address it to him politely. He's gotten better about it but every now and then he'll still do it asking "I'll make a perception check to see if I see anything" to which I'll reply "actually due to the nature of what you're looking at that would be an arcana check" in which case he'll apologize for calling his roll and roll what I told him to.

My time being a DM, A player I had always broke everything of my friends campaign so I said "let me host a one shot session and you will see how fast he can break". He agreed and brought everyone from his campaign to mine and we started as he expected, destroying everything in their path, but when the creature I made popped up, it was a large bird-like creature that was completely friendly.... until you dare hit it. The guy went to attack it and was cocky and everything until he went to attack and hit it. I started laughing when he thought it died, he questioned why I was laughing until I told him about the challenge rating 23 abomination I created called Owl, the god of the rings of chaos. He tried to attack it again until it deflected his spell entirely, instantly knocking him to 2hp, but then it was Owl's turn. One nat 20 later and I described how his character was brutally murdered and how his soul suffered for the rest of it's eternity, his reaction of anger at me was priceless and I will never forget it... PS: he tried again requesting a new session and he fell for the same trick twice! Lol

What was the best way you saw a DM shut down "That Player"?
