They get way too into it and start keeping track of how much of their “seed they’ve spread” in an attempt to create a new army of children. As for child support, nobody uses their gold anyway
That just makes your players look for contraception
Also yes medieval times did have contraceptives. In fact the history of contraceptives goes back WAAAY to Egypt
Yep Ancient Egyptians used crocodile dung among other things.
And now you know
They also drove a contrceptive plant extinct
That was the Romans, not Egyptians. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silphium
What are your thoughts on sheep intestines as a rudimentary “condom”?
Cut an orange in half, scoop out the insides. Ancient diaphragm.
Sure, but I’m part of the minority that likes to remove the rest of the sheep first.
You murderer
Sheep intestine = sheep asshole. Someone liked fucking sheep so mutch that they decided they wanted to fuck a sheep whenever they fucked a woman
I know (hope?) this is a joke, but for the curious: Intestines are traditionally what is used to make sausages to this day. So likely they thought if it was good enough to eat, good enough to fuck.
And then scheduling conflicts end the campaign before they can find out the result.
Ugh too true
I prefer the first option tbh
Even better is playing with people who don’t want to vent their sexual frustrations in a game about slaying dragons
I’d imagine it would only be really the first time but I still think it’s a good train of thought. Feels like it’s better to say yes with conditions rather than just outright saying no
Of course outright saying no is not a good solution but having an honest conversation with your players about the tone and purpose of the game is always beneficiary. In this example though I would still prefer “no” rather than going into the technicalities of bringing another human into the fantasy world and all its consequences because one player wanted to shit around. If this is the pitch of your game then of course you’re free to do so but in this case players should already know this is allowed and intented. Most of the time it’s a simple game about a group of adventurers delving into dungeons slaying evil monsters and if some want to introduce “romance” then it should either be disallowed or be in the same tone as rest of the game. YMMV of course
one of my players did this. between sessions he used streetwise to find out if she was pregnant. then he arranged to have her killed. he showed up to the next session and I declared that his alignment had shifted to evil without telling the party why
I was in a game where a PC hooked up with an NPC and got her pregnant, resulting in a ton of problems for that character. It was quite funny when one of the other players noticed an unused sheep-skin condom listed on that character’s sheet. Turns out, they’d looted a condom from a fallen baddie during a previous session but forgot about it.
“How the hell did I get a male orc pregnant?”
There’s an Oglaf for that.
NSFW warning
this feels like a personal attack on bards
Or direct those players to a table of equally horny adventurers and everybody’s happy 😎
