Jeremy Allen Black / Arcadum - DnD Dungeon Master, Twitch Streamer, creator of Verum and Callous Row, alleged sex pest and only 17.8% of his players become his friends.

[UnremarkablePerson]

Learned about this through Staycalm's YT dumps. We live in interesting times where even the sweaty dungeonmasters manage to make a little metoo of their own.

For a while I was confused as to why this particular situation was getting so much attention, at the end of the day he was excessively horny and a cunt to his supposed friends but the fact it's had so many relatively popular streamers/youtubers talk about it was kinda baffling.

Then I remembered his whole gimmick is networking with these massive online personalities and so it kinda makes this whole thing wonderfully ironic.

The fact that really the only reason this situation has gotten so many eyes on it was because this guy wanted to be some kind of 'online DnD celebrity' is very telling too. Suppose if anyone out there is obsessed with becoming some kind of internet celeb, either don't fuck up OR don't get too popular.

Also maybe don't flirt with e-girls who get dick pics on the regular, bit too much competition in that for Mr Black here.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I heard about this through the Pathfinder living world that I am a part of and I never went any further than that. Looks like everything is on the table now.

We live in interesting times where even the sweaty dungeonmasters manage to make a little metoo of their own.

I heard that it was quite a common thing back in the 80s for DMs to basically become little cult leaders and exploit (sexually, if possible) their players

Jack Chick was right all along...

 

[LavenderMenace]

This is the man who views his life as an anime show....Christ some of those audio files of him justifying not apologizing to his friend is unironic, edgelord tier autism.

What's worse is that this isn't uncommon with DnD groups.

 

[变性黑鬼]

Imagine my shock when I open up Kiwifarms and see a thread on him. I am just waiting for Brettultimus to get one now too.. That dude is a proper sensitive soul and I expect some shit with him in the works soon.

I'm starting to see it!

Here's two gross clips of him berating his chat for showing concern for the Vtoober group (the group that admitting to nearly becoming alcoholics and constantly crying after Arcadum's games):

Here is a gross clip of him boasting about his intentions to DMCA claim all the revenue from clips of his games:

Ugh... the way his clothes just drape over his pallid, fat, greasy form... the pimples... the ponytail and beard that cry out for their lost fedora... Discord_Moderator.png

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

Here's two gross clips of him berating his chat for showing concern for the Vtoober group (the group that admitting to nearly becoming alcoholics and constantly crying after Arcadum's games):

Speaking of which, nobody has actually posted said Vtubers response to the situation, so I will post those now. They are quite eye opening to how bad things got behind the scenes:

Notably, Haruka and Froot are the only ones yet to officially comment on the situation, as far as I know. Maybe they have and it simply hasn't been posted yet.

JoCat, who makes a lot of (actually pretty funny) D&D videos also talked about what it was like to be a player under Arcadum during one of his games:

Now, for my two cents: in hindsight, there were plenty of red flags about Arcadum that me, and many other people overlooked (like him having his Vtuber players call him "Dungeon Daddy"; looking back, that is impossibly cringe and I'm surprised me, the players and so many other people overlooked it). Some people say that Arcadum was a good DM, but I disagree; he was a good storyteller and knew how to set a mood, and he was a good showman, what with all the things he was doing, such as the voices and such, but a good DM he was not. And that is no more apparent than episode 5 of one of his last campaigns, Otikata's Curse, the same campaign that those Vtubers above were a part of:

Its almost four hours long, and its basically a single combat session, not unusual or unheard of in D&D, but this was particularly painful to watch, and, for all intents and purposes, was the session where everything changed and the campaign started becoming really stressful for the players. Its trademark bad encounter design. Here you have a bunch of newbies, who barely understand the game, don't understand the action economy at all, don't understand basic combat maneuvers like "dodge" and "disengage", don't understand the difference between an attack that requires an attack roll and one that doesn't, don't even know all the spells their spellcasters use or even what their spells actually do, being forced to face what was literally a Bloodborne boss as their second ever combat encounter. To make matters worse, this particular enemy has too much health, does too much damage (he can literally do 16+ points of damage with a single attack!), can attack more times a round than a freaking adult dragon, and has a bunch of confusing attacks and an even more confusing rage mechanic that Arcadum had to basically clarify a second time towards the end of the session because the players didn't understand how it worked even after he explained it. On top of that the creature also has aspects like "Ruthless" (which basically means that it will choose to kill downed players rather than taking out other threats unless the other characters actively put themselves in harms way to threaten him). What you had was a recipe for disaster that literally almost ended in a TPK (Total Party Kill) in the fifth session of a (supposed to be) 85 session game. To top it all off, this dumbass was like "From now on, I'm not going to help you; your on your own" to a bunch of newbies who barely know how to play the game in their first real combat (the first combat encounter was highly scripted). As DM, he should be giving them all the help he can get. It got so bad that the players spent entire rounds standing around doing nothing simply because they had no idea what to even do or even how to respond to this enemy, and anyone who knows D&D knows that the worst thing you can do in a combat round is stand around doing nothing; you should always be doing something; preferably attacking. And Arcadum, the dumbass he is, refused to give them straightforward help, only "hinting" at what they could or should be asking him, rather than realizing they were frustrated.

This entire incident convinced me that Arcadum does not know what he is doing as a DM. As someone who has played through multiple D&D sessions, along with sessions in other RPGs like Deadlands and All Flesh Must Be Eaten, I've never had a boss that had this many complicated mechanics and this much bullshit to it even as a late game, or even final boss. This is not the type of combat I would've thrown at newbie players. This is something I would have thrown at veterans, specifically to trip them up because they are used to straightforwardly killing things. The combat went so bad, it apparently had Nyanners to the point of tears, made worse by the fact that he flew of the handle and attacked her for criticizing the encounter. Groups have fallen apart over encounters going this bad. The fact that he saw no problem with this just shows how shit of a DM he really was. What's even worse is that this fuck initially (before everything came out) had people defending him saying "Well, his bosses are always like this" like that makes it okay, or, even worse "Well it was manageable". Yeah, manageable in the same way a level two group taking on Strahd is manageable, or a level 4 group taking on an ancient dragon.

 

[Ghostse]

@Tachibana one thing I noticed the OP:
You left off the best part. As far as I could tell from the ethot screeds, what kicked this off was Folkana (also the girl he rubbed his boner on in hopes of a pity fuck) getting pissed because in Callous Row (the VRChat LARP) he ruled that her Priest was dead-dead. She wasn't off the show as far as I could tell, just had to make a new character. And then when she threatened to leave, not caring or giving her threat sufficient attention. Causing her to contact his girlfriend to get said attention, and thus starting this whole thing in motion.

And just to pull that pearl out of the wall of (con)text:
ARCADUM'S LIFE AND CAREER ARE BURNING DOWN BECAUSE A GIRL WAS PISSED HER D&D CHARACTER DIED

This is just such a glorious shitshow. The laughs are everywhere because everyone involved is complete scum. Arcadum is a fucking... I don't even know what the word is, but fucking LOL, he's an autistic simpcel creep who was cheating on his girlfriend in every way but actually getting his dick wet (and not for lack of pathetic trying). And the e-thot cabal is only shoving their knives into his back because he's a dry well for their careers at this point. And especiall that Momo chick for trying to get the interactions of legal adults labeled 'grooming'.

I especially love all the e-girls trying to downplay that in the best case they were former VR chat prostitutes (not all of them are former) and that asking them for lapdances and the zoomer version of cyber sex was hardly an out-of-line request.

This is a POV view of one of the MeTooers (Uzurimia) giving a VR Chat lapdance.
This is what Arcadum burned down his life for.

Theres also this weird moment where he goaded his VTuber players into calling him dungeon daddy in the session zero of Otikatas Curse

Jesus fucking christ, that is some lvl 20 creeper shit, especially given how the all VTubers I've seen really try to sound young.

I have been wanting to write a community thread on VRChat for a long time, these kind of incidents happen all the time in there. I should probably get of my ass and do it at some point.

Please do, and let me know when you make it. Just the little I've seen it looks like such a fucking mess of terrible people being terrible to other terrible people.

Agreed. I only skimmed the VOD, but fuck. I have been a hard-ass DM before, but like you said if players - especially newbies - just aren't getting it, you need to rethink your approach and do a little hand-holding. And fuck introducing a hard-hitting 'vidya boss' monster for new players. You get the players comfortable with the rules before you start busting out the rule-bending gimmick fights.
And it doesn't matter if "his bosses are always like this" if the players aren't watching his streams.

And Honestly it sounds like like the vTubers were really,really green and probably needed to run a few combats off-stream to get a feel for the the rules.

The most damning thing I've heard from his play style was the DMPCing. In general, I feel that if I'm talking to myself, I have failed.

 

[BLTAnnihilator]

To be honest the funniest thing about the whole Arcadum drama is watching how many people fall for the "Trust me bro" basis for the supposed evidence given.

Even if it's all legit, I kinda wonder what this was even supposed to accomplish. Justice doesn't give closure, convincing yourself you've been given closure by something else does, but at the end of the day it's still closure you gave yourself, just with extra steps.
Just feels like Ster and his upcoming D&D system was rejected to be used by Arcadum and they conspired to ruin a guy because they're also all irrelevant streamers who can't be entertaining to save their lives without just leeching the funni from people who are just naturally funny or charismatic, or try harder just in general. If it was legit, there'd be a lawsuit instead imo, instead it made me lose all respect for Ster and any of these losers were never known to me. Really, Ster is only known to me because he's Jerma's friend, never watched his stuff beyond one solo stream and it was fucking so boring that I fell asleep. He only works well with Jerma for the same reason Chat does, which is to simply witness the pure chaos he creates. Though Ster's been able to time shit well to make Jerma lose his shit, one could argue such a thing ain't exactly difficult if you're lucky.


Only part of me that finds the situation funny is just to watch the lengths people will go to justify their bullshit, either in favor or against arcadum and others. If it wasn't due to that one part, it'd just be sad and pathetic. Imo it's more damaging for your reputation to do something like this, no matter how legitimate. Moving on from abuse is down to the person having to do so, no other factor of "getting justice" ultimately is enough to convince someone to do so, even in the most extreme cases.

but let's be honest. Of course a woman is pissy because X inconvenient thing happened to them which conflicted with their plan of how shit was gonna go down, they literally baseline live with god complexes if you believe that 4chan greentext meme and they're the only part of most societies that will just get opportunities handed out to them because they're "so few" due to being realistically so aspiration-ally passive that it becomes impressive in the eyes of society when some of them actually fucking do something with their lives.
They practically live with the worst sense of entitlement there can be, ofcourse they're gonna get angry enough to throw nonsense, it literally happens all the time, they hold onto grudges like flextape seals and repairs, that's not a mentally healthy thing to do, nor is it normal, atleast not among guys.
Don't people usually call guys who do that shit some kind of synonym for psychotic, insane or unrealistic? It's all just fucking hilarious imo.

I mean its 100% legit. Dude was running multiple side chicks (in VR Chat). The only part that isn't confirmed is the story from the girl (who knocked over the first domino) about getting his boner rubbed on her leg while he sobbed for pity sex. She's about as stable as a table with three broken legs, but given his other simpering for e-sex it sounds in character.
There's no lawsuit or criminal action because nothing he did was illegal. Everyone was of legal age, all of it (except for potential boner rubbing) was in fucking discord and VR chat. By the girls' own admissions, even after being turned down/ending things, he did nothing to harm their careers and in fact usually continued to help them. Only the Music girl has something remotely actionable, and that's super questionable because she was a contractor not an employee.
So he was sort of a shitbird to neglect your girlfriend/Fiancee to chase e-strange, but not criminal.

I wasn't aware of the drama with this is Ster guy, but that could also factor into the timing.

The girls 'conspired' because his girlfriend made him cut off contact with every girl on his list. This got everyone talking and suddenly all his side pieces could find each other and realized they were not 'that special girl' he liked better than his GF, they were just eThot #182 who was willing to give him a VR lapdance (I just...fucking lol) or schlick off on skype.
This probably wouldn't have gone down if he'd have just ended it with his girlfriend and spun some tale. No, they coordinated because they could ID each other, and figured he was a dry well worth a final career boost.

Only Folkana and Momo seem to be taking it personal.
Folkana because he character was killed (apparently her second character that got killed) and she was being pushed aside, I don't know what Momo's deal is that she's trying to get him lumped in with kiddie diddlers.

The Aussie chick and The music girl also seem to be put out, but they seem more sad than angry. The Aussie chick because she seemed to have believed that she had a chance of being the future Mrs. Arcadum if he dropped his current girlfriend. Kelli, the music girl, also seems to think for a time they could have a thing but that seemed to have cooled several months back.


I guess it also bears being clear here:
Arcadum is not an innocent victim in all this.
Jeremy's life is burning down in a 5-alarm blaze. The fire started one of his e-thot side pieces tossed a match into it, and then got a bunch of other girls to fling sparklers through the windows, sure. But the fire is only as spectacular as it is because this dude had been stacking it full of leaky wooden barrels containing gasoline and acetylene, all wrapped in oily rags he kept on top of piles of kindling.

 

[变性黑鬼]

idk why I cannot quote / reply to @The Demon Pimp of Razgriz's post

The combat went so bad, it apparently had Nyanners to the point of tears, made worse by the fact that he flew of the handle and attacked her for criticizing the encounter.

Not just her, in Snuffy's video she says that they were all crying at some point during that combat lol. She apparently muted herself and Jeremy messaged her "are you ok?" while she was laying on her desk bawling.

Nyanners then said "not gonna lie, feeling very demotivated by D&D" in her server, and someone reposted it to Jeremy's server (presumably because they were trying to argue with him about the session being garbage.)

Jeremy then came into Nyanners' server and said "we talking D&D in here?" and started answering people's questions in the text chat. I was there at the time, and while I thought little of it at the time, he came across as VERY pissy and confrontational. I remember him capping off an explanation with "so I don't know what you're accusing me of." Meanwhile, the person had not accused him of anything, just asked a simple rules-related question. Of course, the person just let him talk to them like that, because he was The Big D&D Man, but I imagine they must have felt pissed.

Then, idk if it was because he wanted more control of the situation or if his fat fingers got lazy (his typing is REALLY bad, as you've seen from the leaks), he starts a Q&A call in Nyanners' own server. Here's her talking about it in the post-apocalypse version of Jeremy's old server,


She got very upset at her own server for sharing the screenshot of her venting to Jeremy's server. At the time, I was really confused at why she would be mad about someone sharing a public comment she made, but it was because it kickstarted the Arcadum Punishment Cycle.

Now, I REALLY wish I had joined this first Q&A at the time, and recorded it. Not to mention the second one, with the 4channers essentially raiding her server's voice chat.

To top it all off, this dumbass was like "From now on, I'm not going to help you; your on your own" to a bunch of newbies who barely know how to play the game in their first real combat

This entire incident convinced me that Arcadum does not know what he is doing as a DM.

It is definitely bad DMing, but in the past, he would always have literal "Tutorial Skeletons" show up to introduce players to the mechanics. In this fight, he was fucking taking Opportunity Attacks against people who didn't know what those are. So I don't know if it's that he's a bad DM or if it's something else. Here's some theories:

-Some have said that he was punishing the Vshojo group for taking the 85 session campaign away from the Prologue Groups (doubtful, because I think he absolutely wanted to hang out with all-girls for long periods at a time)
-He was punishing Nyanners because her batgirl lesbian character wasn't into the love interest male NPC he made for her
-Brain worms
-He wanted to hook them in with a really bonkers fight (retarded, because they're a bunch of nervous girls and they'd hate that)
-He had already scripted this encounter for an experienced Prologue Group like Pride of the Nightwolf, and he was too lazy to change it, choosing instead to run damage control

I'm starting to lean towards the last one, because his laziness is absolutely legendary.

You left off the best part. As far as I could tell from the ethot screeds, what kicked this off was Folkana (also the girl he rubbed his boner on in hopes of a pity fuck) getting pissed because in Callous Row (the VRChat LARP) he ruled that her Priest was dead-dead. She wasn't off the show as far as I could tell, just had to make a new character. And then when she threatened to leave, not caring or giving her threat sufficient attention. Causing her to contact his girlfriend to get said attention, and thus starting this whole thing in motion.

That's new to me, and absolutely amazing. Apparently he really loved using non-stream games like Callous Row and Living World of Verum as playgrounds for his power fantasies. Even walking up behind a Callous Row player and bopping them on the back of the head to kill them with "hacking." When the player said they had hacking resistance, he replies "doesn't matter, it's too powerful, you're dead."

You can see some of his powertripping powergaming in the last ep of Among the Reeds

The link should be at 2:01:51 where a "very powerful wizard" walks in and just Hold Persons the entire group with no possibility of a saving throw. One of them jokingly goes "powergamer!" Jeremy responds with a genuinely pissed sounding "no. Very powerful wizard."

For context, this group is a bunch of wacky GTAV roleplayers who absolutely refused to get railroaded into doing the story Jeremy had laid out for them. Instead coming up with wacky plans like "what if we save the princess by forming our OWN human trafficking ring?" etc

Some might say that this is no way to play D&D, but Jeremy marketed the game as "in D&D you can do ANYTHING" and even better, "I AM SUCH A HARD WORKER, I WORKED FOR 18 YEARS WRITING DEEP NOTES, I'M READY FOR ANYTHING!" Then this group of weirdos comes along and utterly shatters the illusion on livestream.

he's an autistic simpcel creep who was cheating on his girlfriend in every way but actually getting his dick wet

This should probably be the tagline for the thread!

This is a POV view of one of the MeTooers (Uzurimia) giving a VR Chat lapdance.
This is what Arcadum burned down his life for.

lmao

his girlfriend made him cut off contact with every girl on his list

I want to point out that we only have Jeremy's word on this. It's entirely possible that he decided to take this action himself, and try to play his GF and his E-Thots against one another so he could come out on top of the shitshow that Folkona started.

@TransNig

idk why I cannot quote / reply to @The Demon Pimp of Razgriz's post

Forum bug, caused by/made worse by DDOS. I can't reply to your post either.

That's new to me, and absolutely amazing. Apparently he really loved using non-stream games like Callous Row and Living World of Verum as playgrounds for his power fantasies.

There's a small amount of inference, but it fits. In the screen shot going around (and the contents refuted by no one) Folkana is threatening to leave and Jeremy is just "um, ok."

Folkana is very unhinged and very attached to Jeremy and his fame. She does not respond well to this. Folkana was also the only girl who didn't have a "and I ended it with him" in her screed, even after the boner rubbing.

Not long after this exchange, Jeremy is forced to cut ties with any female he's sent a winkie face to because his Girlfriend is (correctly) worried about him cucking her with e-girls. If you watch her sob-stream, she says she saw a bunch of questionable shit going on but it was all waved & explained away. Once she had proof it was not just in her head/her being a jealous shrew, she told him to cut contact or they were done.

I want to say one of the other girls also confirmed Folkana talked to his girlfriend, but she is very clearly Patient Zero/Sparticus or whatever you want to call the one who causes the avalanche to start.

Actually let me just see if I can C&P her whole thing at the bottom here.

I want to point out that we only have Jeremy's word on this. It's entirely possible that he decided to take this action himself, and try to play his GF and his E-Thots against one another so he could come out on top of the shitshow that Folkona started.

We do have more than his word. Girlfriend confirms it, and Rob "Roflgator" also confirms it. She got contacted & sent logs, made him cut off contact, and then she got sent more logs as everything started to come out, and kicked him out when she saw him and an ethot exchanging "I love you's" (Likely either Kelli (music girl) or Red (aussie girl)). Roflgator came to pick his homeless ass up and get him and his stuff somewhere, and then the whole thing exploded.

It is definitely bad DMing, but in the past, he would always have literal "Tutorial Skeletons" show up to introduce players to the mechanics. In this fight, he was fucking taking Opportunity Attacks against people who didn't know what those are. So I don't know if it's that he's a bad DM or if it's something else. Here's some theories:

-He had already scripted this encounter for an experienced Prologue Group like Pride of the Nightwolf, and he was too lazy to change it, choosing instead to run damage control

I'm starting to lean towards the last one, because his laziness is absolutely legendary.

It's really bad DMing.
My other thought is maybe the Vshojo girls were possibly just in this for the promotion, and didn't care about D&D at all so wouldn't attend a D&D practice session, so this is him punishing them for not showing up/not caring. Granted given how manipulative it was, he might have just been trying to find the weakest one isolate and guilt into phone sex.

I used to angry-punish players who went out of line when I was a younger GM, but have realized now that if you're punishing your players because you're angry with them (which is different from letting them experience the consequences of their own actions, or divine smiting being just part of the fun [ie Paranoia]) its already over. Granted part of that is I'm playing with older people now, so I can just look across the table and tell them "Don't be a spaz/play like an adult/do you really want to follow through on this" and that usually fixes the issue; that might not have worked with the other dumb kids my dumb kid self was playing with.

For context, this group is a bunch of wacky GTAV roleplayers who absolutely refused to get railroaded into doing the story Jeremy had laid out for them. Instead coming up with wacky plans like "what if we save the princess by forming our OWN human trafficking ring?" etc

Then this group of weirdos comes along and utterly shatters the illusion on livestream.

I'll do wacky games when I'm DMing, and if we did a session zero and everyone's wanting to murder hobo I'm either
A) going to make a goofy murder hobo world
or
B) I'm going to tell them "I want to actually run a serious game with a story guys. We can talk goofy OOC, but I'd like your characters to behave like rational people". And if that's not what people want, I'm just going to stop DMing instead of being a power tripping bitch about it.

If I'm down for a wacky game, these guys sound like the sort of Chaotic Neutrals that would have some really off the wall adventures. I'd love to see them get put through a Paranoia session.

lmao

This is what he traded his girlfrend & career for.


edit: I am a moron and somehow missed the folkana stuff in the OP. I swear to christ it was not there this morning.

Also, just want to point out, in her call out post, Folkana even admits this simpcel was boosting her career and buying her things she needs to further her career.
Not that buying someone something is a license to treat them like shit, but it makes you look like an ungrateful bitch when you bury your knife in his back when he's no longer useful.

Also that she kept contact with him for nearly two years post-boner; like active, seeking out events where he was at, contact. I don't know she'd do that if the boner rubbing was so traumatizing.

Here's an archive of Folkana's google doc.

I'm surprised this thread didn't get too much traction. It's intersects two popular communities DnD & Vtubers which admittedly I'm not too familiar with either. Maybe because there is so much shit to read. I like it how Arcadum said he's going to take a break to grow, but he's already planning his return. Then there's the shit where one of the girls took that personally and there is some fight over a discord with everyone on it. Just a mess, but yeah all of his shit burned down for some virtual pussy.

It died down because there's no new info, at least stuff that isn't half as corroborated as the original pile. Arcadum is a dumb, autistic sex pest that burned down his meal ticket for fap material but he was smart enough to go radio silent.

Maybe because there is so much shit to read. I like it how Arcadum said he's going to take a break to grow, but he's already planning his return. Then there's the shit where one of the girls took that personally and there is some fight over a discord with everyone on it. Just a mess, but yeah all of his shit burned down for some virtual pussy.

It died down because there's no new info, at least stuff that isn't half as corroborated as the original pile. Arcadum is a dumb, autistic sex pest that burned down his meal ticket for fap material but he was smart enough to go radio silent.

It also lost traction because its unlikely this dog will hunt. Unless you are his GF (or the girl he may or may not have rubbed his boner on) he hasn't done anything beyond 'be a grade-a skeeze'. Everyone one was over 18. He hasn't gone after any of them for revenge. When he was done with them, he didn't just use them and toss them aside (except for sort of the Kelli girl, but she made the mistake of being in her MeToo too strong and independent, having already moved on and stopped caring)

The VTubers don't give a shit. With in less than 24 hours of the new breaking, the V-Shojos have already moved on from "being scared and drunk to the point of crying" to "Its subtembter everyone! Subscribe and there's a link to my patreon! Here's what simpbait I'm upto this week, and some fanart by some Twitter Artist!" They only cared and talked about it because their chatsimps cared and asked them about it. I think only one girl, the Silver whoever, did more than make a singular mention about the situation on twitter. Silver made two tweets, and a third after he announced the comeback. And even then, she made a post about who terrible this is, #believeallwomen and then immediately back to talking about vapid e-whore activies within a couple hours. It was a bad experience that affects them as much as someone being rude to them in public or food at a restaurant being wrong, or any other event MC being impatient with them.
Even the MeTooers usually made a single seethe post when he said he'd be back, and are back to Basic E-Bitch memes and announcements. The only one this has any lingering effects on are the small timers who just had their stairway to full-time e-thottery yanked out from under their feet, and no one cares about them.

It'd be like if there some actor who during an onset kiss would hold his partner a little too firmly or deliberately flub the next line so they had to kiss again, and you're talking to some starlet about how that made her feel when she was shooting with him last year, while Weinstein is currently texting her that he's waiting for her in the shower and she's downing a seltzer to wash the taste of her current director out of her mouth.

Unlike with the Rooster Teeth guy, who was creeping underaged strange from his own fanbase, everyone was over 18 during the entire 'relationship'. There was a single, unconfirmed case of any actual physical contact unlike the other dude caught pumping-and-dumping his fans/orbiters. Arcadum's girlfriend tossed him out and cut him off - they were never married, there's no kid, not even a dog so there's no on-going victim or relationship drama anymore. If anyone is talking about it, its in the middle of a 6 hour stream only the biggest losers would watch. I just read thier screeds and google stalked the big players t figure out 'literally who?', and I feel like I put in more effort than this deserves.

I never even heard of this faggot before, hilariously and unrelated to current drama, about 3 days before the news broke. I don't know who any of these VTubers are.

I am only here because the laughs are completely guilt free since both sides are complete amoral scum, and no one had any actual harm done to them. The only harm they have experienced is in the form of a case of gay internet drama. This doesn't even rank as first world problems. Its like -i World problems.

tl;dr LOL you think anyone cares about D&D, nerd?

Here's an archive of Folkana's google doc.

Thank you for your service

Just feels like Ster and his upcoming D&D system was rejected to be used by Arcadum and they conspired to ruin a guy because they're also all irrelevant streamers who can't be entertaining to save their lives without just leeching the funni from people who are just naturally funny or charismatic, or try harder just in general

I wasn't aware Ster had a part in this. I dont know his stance, but it did seem like his own game system didn't do too well despite him talking it up for quite a while. I remember that himself, moonmoon, and arcadum had been friends and played D&D games together for years so I'm a bit surprised at the sudden turn. Although they're twitch players so what am i kidding.

@TransNig

You can see some of his powertripping powergaming in the last ep of Among the Reeds

I used to be a big fan of penta, though he could be pretty cringe when talking to others, did they catch him off guard a lot in this run? I might just power through the awkwardness to hear him crumble and get backed in a corner.

That's probably because there's nothing especially funny about the situation. Threads on here get traction because the subject matter is entertaining, whereas here everything that happened and everyone involved is just sad and pathetic.

I'm not able to quote a bunch of people in the thread.

Thanks for posting the Fordola doc, I wasn't able to get my hands on it when I made the thread so I didn't include it. I'd been waiting a while to update the OP.

Ghostse is correct. Trying to find something funny out of these insanely long dnd sessions is boring and won't yield much. Arcadum is an inept autistic loser who doesn't know how to DM, and a bunch of the women he supposedly harassed are e-girl vtubers. The e-girl vtubers seem to me like an opportunistic bunch who play favorites like it's high school. One of them commissioned an artist to draw a few of them in high school outfits to "graduate" from the drama: https://archive.vn/sIXM5

As Pizza said, it's just an overall pathetic situation all around. I still think it's worth to document, you got an array of eccentric personalities, but there's nothing going on at this specific moment. I'm placing my bets on him coming back and doing more dumb shit.

I'm going to see when I update the OP. It's very difficult to know where to pull the thread, and if I throw all these streams into the OP, it'll make it a worst read I think.

We do have more than his word. Girlfriend confirms it, and Rob "Roflgator" also confirms it. She got contacted & sent logs, made him cut off contact, and then she got sent more logs as everything started to come out, and kicked him out when she saw him and an ethot exchanging "I love you's" (Likely either Kelli (music girl) or Red (aussie girl)). Roflgator came to pick his homeless ass up and get him and his stuff somewhere, and then the whole thing exploded.

I think I'm starting to understand the sequence of events now. When he cut off contact, all the e-thots began to realize that they were not his special little girl, and commenced the massive backstabbing operation. I'd love to know the exact date of the e-thot Discord purge if anyone happens to have it.

It begs the question, what would have happened if he never engaged the thotocaust on his RP projects and Discord server. All of his manipulations had been hinging on the idea that his GF was the one abusing him. So, he could have just moved out and tried to cut off contact with Tiffany instead. There is a small chance that she might have successfully contacted the e-thots and turned them on him anyway, but it surely seems like the better bet. Did you know that his world has a self-insert demigod character called The Gambler Black (as in Jeremy Black), who always plays with loaded dice?

What made him bet on staying with Tiffany, instead of completing the isolation project he had going for her? Maybe it was pity? Maybe he was so afraid of being away from his Housecleaner-Driver-Caretaker that he was too chicken to willingly step out on his own?

My other thought is maybe the Vshojo girls were possibly just in this for the promotion, and didn't care about D&D at all so wouldn't attend a D&D practice session, so this is him punishing them for not showing up/not caring.

I'm biased, I only started watching Jeremy because of Vshojo, but out of all the campaign groups he was running at the time, they were actually the only ones to never miss a single session. Plus, after the disastrous near-TPK, they were going to do private sessions with a "D&D coach," someone they met in Jeremy's server who would help them learn the ropes. I think anyone else would have been flattered at the dedication, but Jeremy was fucking PISSED that they went behind his back to learn more about his game. Even though he would have never taken the time out of his women-stalking-hours to do a practice session himself.

Granted given how manipulative it was, he might have just been trying to find the weakest one isolate and guilt into phone sex.

Holy shit, ok, schizo take incoming. Not only is this absolutely correct, BUT HE nearly SUCCEEDED! The only one who died in the fight (statistically speaking, I guess you could say this makes her the weakest) got a private bonus session where she got to wander around Valhalla and try to make her way back to life. This Valhalla is full of nothing but booze and consequence-free sex, and now I'm 100% certain that he was pulling out all the stops to try and RP-sex her on stream. He directly propositions her for sex once as a portly Dwarven warrior (Jeremy is fat), and then comes out and calls her attractive as an aloof, edgy, emo Demon warrior. Both attempts fail, but sex briefly comes up again as she travels through the Orgy Halls. Vshojo's TTS tranny member's character even comments how there is "too much fucking" in heaven near the end of the stream.

If he succeeded here, they would have just faded to black because Twitch stream, but it opens the door to further phone sex. Here's the session:

Don't believe me? Wait, there's more. Haruka is playing a Geckoi, which is Jeremy's race of androgynous free-love lizardpeople. They are exclusive to the continent Glies, which is a sloppy mish-mash of mostly weebshit and some other Asian cultures. The Geckoi are a barely veiled metaphor for Thailand and their transgender and prostitution industries. It's canon that whenever a male Geckoi wants to be female, he just glues some feathers to his spines, and it's canon that female Geckoi cannot easily get pregnant. So, their culture has no taboo on any kind of casual sex.

Haruka obviously just chose a Geckoi because she wanted to be a funny-cute lizard, but what if Jeremy instead saw an open invitation to ERP? That's why he threw this insanely challenging session at them, so he could get one of them alone IN DEATH.

This was set to be an 85 session campaign, so perhaps this was just supposed to lay the groundwork to build one of them up into Housecleaner-Driver-Caretaker from the ground up.

I wasn't aware Ster had a part in this.

Ster is actually the one that made Jeremy popular in the first place! They met playing Overwatch, where Jeremy caught his attention because he would roleplay Reinhardt and never break character.

Here's his Twitlonger from the Big Backstabbing
His GF's Twitlonger in case you care

Ster plays a character in Jeremy's very first livestreamed D&D game called Trouble in Trisden. He plays Og'Narak, and gets killed off in one of the next games that gets streamed, but he would play many more characters.

Guy Dance and Mr. Sprinkles are characters in a couple of extremely superior and funny games. I highly recomend Dick Kickem's day off because it's a one shot with only males:

This is where Jeremy excels, it's a very darkly humorous game with no e-thots. Shattered Crowns and Tearing Veil are two other longer campaign games that are just as good, and both feature the player MoonMoon, which I don't think is a coincidence.

I'm placing my bets on him coming back and doing more dumb shit.

The month's almost up! I can't wait to see if Jeremy's promised return comes true. Thanks for making this thread!

I agree, Dick Kickem and Shattered Crowns are the only campaigns I could watch for more than one session and was thoroughly entertained. Yeah, MoonMoon is definitely a big part of it.
Thanks for the extra info on Ster's stance. This guy is so pathetic that he made what close friends he had, the same friends that made him big, feel slimy and like he was just another whore there to stroke his little ego.

I started listening to the Among the Reeds campaign and I had forgotten all those countless comments he would make when the player does something dumb leading to an interesting and wacky outcome and Arcadum would just say "Ohhh im so tired, I'm not gonna get any sleep. All I have to rewrite and organize...No it's not your fault it's just all I do to have my players enjoy their session. " Such a manipulative baby, and he doesn't even end up doing half the work anyways. The best part when he was doing that mini pity party during Among the Reeds when the players decided to smoke black silver some of them were actively laughing at him when he mentioned all the extra work he now had to do lmao. That was fucking funny, bet he's not gotten that response before.
