Yes, s/he choice to eat the food. Was s/he warned that the food was Fey Roofies in disguise beforehand?

Yes, the character before awakening was a Doctor of Mythology and taught a class on debunking the paranormal. He has 5 dots (max skill level) in occult, and made the appropriate rolls to see what he could find out about them, and he was told a fair bit of lore on fae food, taken from NWoD lore via Changelings.

In our game, it would take something like "Dominate Person" to remove all volition like that. A Charm Person or Diplomacy check instead provides feelings, like "you trust this person, you really like this person", etc and then leave the actual decisions on how to role-play that to the players.

But that's exactly what I'm saying happened. Not the dominate person example, the later bit. There were multiple rolls, and things (such as the food he chose to ate, was not forced to eat) that went into this over awhile. They walked through the hedge together for hours talking about various things, before she brought him to a camp in between Arcadia and the Fallen World.

It wasn't a situation where I made one roll, and went "okay this is what's happening." which is what I fear I've been painted as having done.

Just because it was a fade to black doesn't mean it didn't happen to the character. It just means you didn't write out the details.

The point still stands that this isn't the kind of thing you just spring on someone in a game, regardless of whether or not you think the dice rolls of an NPC (technically played by you) should charm the pants of a player's character.

The only thing "your side of the story" has changed is the level of detail, not the context or actions initially presented.

Pretty sure I pointed out this happened over a course of several scenes "springing" wasn't the case. I didn't just up and go "Hey you're having sex with time magic!" We talked oocly about it before a bit, then I introduced the character, and rolls didn't go the way the acanthus/player thought it would have. But he's cool at this point, and we re-wrote how the seduction scene went oocly, to write it in with the character history. We've completely worked the situation out, and it wasn't ever that big of a deal to begin with, with all those involved in my game. This is the first I've heard of it since the night that scene took place.

If I had even a hint that the GM would pull this kind of crap, I'd walk straight out the door. He can go engage in his power mind f@$$ games on someone else.

I agree that would be the only sensible option, but you should read my above post.

Hey all! Creepy GM here. This is actually the first time I've heard about any of this being problematic, including from the player in question in my game, which the OP is not a part of, nor has ever been. In fact, she's not once accepted an invitation to a game I'm running, even one offs and hasn't ever mentioned it was because of a dislike of me, personally.

I've lurked on these boards for a few months now, and just happened to come across this thread, and was shocked to find a warped version of a scene from my game. A scene, might I add, that happened weeks, if not a month or two prior to the original post in January.

Now, to get a few things set in stone 100%. I completely agree. Rape scenes aren't cool in a game and have no place at the table. There were no rape scenes in my game. What the OP is referring to, that she failed to mention was that the player/character was being seduced by one of the Sidhe, over many rolls, and through various conversations and after having eaten Fae food and drink, which in all lore makes you more susceptable to the will of the Sidhe and/or having other various side effects of a magical nature. Rape was not a part of this, and the sex scene in question wasn't acted out. It was a fade to black.

What the OP also failed to note was that the character has now fallen in love with the Sidhe in question, because he was an acanthus, and had aspirations to be the master of Time Magic. The Sidhe's name in fact was the equivalent in high speech for time. She was the embodiment of time magic. The Acanthus in question is now on the path to becoming her Knight, a servant in the fallen world to a being in the supernal and last I checked was quite happy with the way the game is going.

The issue that the Acanthus had, was not the fact he slept with (not was raped by) a Fae Lady, but the manner in which the seduction happened, because she, being of the High Court of the Fae, came after him. That was my fault, admittedly. His character in game likes to chase women, not have them come to him with interest. I wasn't aware of this character trait, though after he pointed it out to me, it made sense.

Terribly sorry my first post has to be about this, but I've been wanting a reason to register an account here, and this huge slap to my face was good enough to do so. Furthermore, I hope if there's any issues with Nepherti, she'll come to me and talk about them to my face, rather than ranting here with what I hope is only having gotten half the story, rather than pointedly putting out half truths to try and make me out to be a horrible person in front of a group of people I've never met.
