I, F20, am the only female player in my D&D group. My character has been sexually harassed and approached by orcs wanting to have sex because I'm playing a female elf. Whenever I say something about it, the DM says he's just trying to play a "realistic" game. It doesn't happen often enough to make me want to leave.

We were about to fight a vampire when he said he smelled blood. I joked that it was me he was smelling. And the DM asked why he would smell me over the others.

I looked him straight in the face and said, because she's on her period. And so she's bleeding.

All the other players acted like this was the grossest thing I have ever said, even though they have heard me describe disembowelments before. My DM looked at me and said that elves don't get periods. I said that they are humanoids with an ovulation cycle and I was just trying to play "realistic".

After the session, the DM asked me to leave the game. So, am I the asshole for giving my character her period?

ETA: Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms, says elves DO menstruate.

I always wanted to joke that with the level of detail in Revnya's skills, the only thing missing is a mechanic for critical days.

It's a strange question, but... what do you think about dieselpunk, Art Deco, and the aesthetics of the "Roaring Twenties"? I have a small, peculiar setting that I don't know what to do with. Usually, I build my worlds around the characters, but this time it's the other way around – I've developed the mythology, but I can't figure out what kind of heroes to populate this world with, and I only have a basic outline for the story. Maybe, someday, I'll create a short, simple expansion if I have the time and inclination.
Magic exists in this world, but it's just as strange.

I'm all for it, good.

I'll play a short, simple expansion in any setting.

Recognize it? Do you agree?

GM, when players have carefully prepared for the quest and spent all their funds:

The following scene is missing:
"Unfortunately, the players didn't have enough money for tickets and didn't go anywhere."

I've slowly started working on the expansion, opened my old expansions, and am trying to understand the mechanics... What the heck was I thinking when I created the mechanics for the old expansions, because my brain clearly wasn't involved in the process >_< I remember that Reven once advised me to get rid of this abomination in the distant lands, I was terribly upset back then, but now I fully support it; I have no idea what's going on with the stats.
But now everything is simpler; I borrowed some of the mechanics from Reven's expansion, some from Nebka's expansion, and the rest I stole from Besedka 👍

When you offer players a way out of a difficult situation, but they don't take advantage of it.
