Please remember that your DM is a person. They are also playing the game and deserve to have fun, and for their boundaries to be respected. They are not just a physics engine for your shenanigans.

That being said, some DMs in specific groups might be totally fine with this. Just don't spring it on someone without prior discussion and consent. That is (among other things) what session zero is for.

One of my DMs is my gf. So I think that if I were to cause such a situation, it might play out something like:

ME: I go look for a brothel.
DM/GF: Sure, you do that. Now, what's everyone else up to?
ME: that's fine, we can play it out later ๐Ÿ˜

I just use the Shucked Oyster, all the RP is built into it. But I play with a bunch of degenerate women.

Make all of the prostitutes in the brothel female goblins that sound like Danny Devito after 30 years of chain smoking. If you have to suffer, they can suffer too

Do you want to make me move in? Cause that's how you get me to move in ๐Ÿ˜

Hey a hole's a hole

You absolutely do not have to RP this. You can say "No." You can say "Ok, you go off and do that, what's everyone else doing?"

[โ€“] vithigar@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Exactly this. I had a character go to a brothel in a campaign I ran. I just said okay, you go to the brothel and have whatever you consider a good time. No further detail or RP was requested or required.

I will add that you can also charge them a fortune for it.

"the bouncer notices you both looking smarmy and throws you halfway across the city as you try to enter, roll for the landing"

A brothel throwing out smarmy customers? Lel

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that tells you just how egregious they were

[โ€“] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Or had no money

Sounds like a 'fade to black', as I call them.

[โ€“] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 15 points 2 days ago

Yup. No matter how hard the PC tries, just pan over to the fireplace and fade to black: https://youtu.be/v7eJEsf11WM (had to include the obligatory Top Secret! clip)

"Roll a constitution based slight of hand check, add your polearm proficiency." ... "You wake up with extra exhaustion and d12 dignity damage."

[โ€“] _stranger_@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I did this to my brother in law. He critically failed every single roll I've never seen that many 1's. He woke up married to an "elf" named Ralph and a mysterious -1 to CON that went away next time he drank a healing potion.

[โ€“] eldain@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

Lmao, roll-playing at its best!

[โ€“] Elaine@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I must use this in my game!

The rogue I DM always asks where the brothel is. I just make up names and charge him gold for the stay.

While on the road the party stopped at a tavern in a small town. It was run by two sisters that were very friendly with the rogue and the paladin. The sisters led them downstairs and into their respective rooms. When their backs were turned the doppelgangers attacked!

The paladin's steed sensed he was in trouble and burst in the tavern and hoofed it to the cellar. The monk and wizard realized what was happening and begrudgingly put down their drinks to go help.

Paladin at the brothel? Terrible excuse for a priest

[โ€“] Graycliff@ttrpg.network 1 points 9 hours ago

Look, maybe he was a paladin of Sune. (Or Calistira, if they're playing Pathfinder.)

[โ€“] azrendelmare@ttrpg.network 2 points 12 hours ago

The paladin wasn't "Oath of No Fun."
