- okay to be clear, you shouldn't deliberately make someone feel uncomfortable like this - but I think this is a joke post?

"Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?" No, I don't think anyone has
Oh the classic "my players are constantly taking off their shirt and flexing" issue, happens to every new Dungeon Master
"Yeah, even Matt Mercer had this happen in one of his campaigns, totally normal"
@@deice3 Travis and Sam do have tendencies of tearing off jackets or sweaters to reveal shirts or whatnot underneath so...yeah he has. Never ENTIRELY shirtless though I think, so far.
@@StealthMarmot_ I mean we heard the old home games were pretty wild maybe this is the type of stuff they meant...
@@ZacSpeaksGiantpepper spray, pepper spray
The story was funny, but Zac barely keeping it together as he reads it was even funnier.
He's his own laugh track and it's perfectly fine.
I was truly tickled
Yes, him losing it was the best part.
If this was the best take, kinda wonder how many it took? :P
I really want to like this comment but the number of likes is currently 666 and I kind don't want to change that so here is my "verbal like" in form of a reply😂
those barbarians got some serious beef with their DM
It's all fun and games until the DM takes his pants off and pulls out the Sausage Squad.

YOU'RE NOT EVEN JEFF
“If anyone has dealt with a similar situation…”
My guys they have “no shirt, no service” signs because we’ve been dealing with this for generations.
You should research that, the actual historical origin of pretty... Surprisingly racist. Sit tight, I know how burden of proof works!
@@TotalSapphicPanic I'm gonna guess it was either an income inequality thing, or a culture thing.
So I sent a message here last night but it seems it didn't go through. I found a source but it wasn't very reliable so I'm going to tap the hivemind to see if I can get something more concrete, and otherwise I'll happily conceed
@@TotalSapphicPanic racism still surprises you?
Life's hectic and I haven't been able to dedicate time to properly source good, specific accounts, so I'm just gonna conceed my point for now and not push it further. I might be right, I personally still believe that I am, but I'm not gonna be out here spreading misinformation and using logical fallacies for internet clout
If they have a Tiefling in the party, could they call them a. . . Beefling?
I'm Beefo LaBeouf, Beefling Beefbarian. With my beefleaxe, Beefalo Bill, I will cleave through my enemies to protect my beef-eff-effs.
biefling
GET OUT. XD
And are they an honorary minotaur? Asking the real questions
@@WarriorKaliaI mean, Tiefling do get horns and cloved hooves so yes?
I remember this post. It was an April Fool’s joke, with a matching post in the subreddit saying “We’re the Beef Brigade but the DM doesn’t like it when we take off our shirts.” 🤣
This made me unsmile.. since I totally could accept people can be ridiculous and do shit like that
@@BaconNuke Lol, sorry! But hey, if you look up those posts they (and the replies) are really funny!
@@DrFranklynAnderson Not when its a joke. Actually kills the funny entirely.
Makes sense. It's pretty stupid to have those types of people except1 who happens to be the DM and is upset at something like that.
plot twist
the party is all minotaurs.
literal beef.
😂
Turn the thermostat down 5 degrees a session until they learn their lesson. Claim it’s to go with a wintry new campaign.
That would just define their pecs even more, fam.
I feel like the DM could use multiple of these strategies (I think that the printed shirt/tank top would go well with this idea)
However I think this was an April Fool's post
I would like to point out as somebody that once actually did this during a session with a friend, that anyone willing to take of their shirt for the joke in a DND session with a large group would probably not care enough about such a small difference in temperature to stop.
I'm using this for the next campaign I participate in. A paladin who's deity doesn't believe in shirts for guys, perfect. I say this as a person who is the only one in the group that knows how to DM
Only if there's a deity that doesn't believe in shirts for gals. Equality!
As a fellow Forever DM, i feel like i should inform you of the revolutionary concept of a DMPC, a party member you control who levels-up alongside them. I've used mine as tools for world building and exposition relating to their professions.
@@firehazardentertainment8381Same 😁
@@DaTimmeh Perhaps the same deity doesn't believe in shirts for women either, but does support comfortable sports-bra-equivalents to prevent flopping and chafing?
@@tristanmitchell1242
My Yuan-Ti (snake lady) is flavored like this. _Technically_ she's wearing studded leather armor. What we're saying is happening _lore-wise_ is that she's just wearing a tube top to keep her bits out of the way when she's firing arrows, and also prevent them from jiggling about while she's trying to sneakily slither up behind enemies for sneak attacks
I love when zac can’t get through the reading with out getting more and more giggly
WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO REALIZE IT WAS IRL SHIRTLESS, THIS IS GREAT LMAO
*"You can't stifle the beef!"* is AMAZING 😭
The “if anyone has dealt with a similar situation” is what really got me
If this were me, I'd be getting the party a group of matching shirts with printed abs on them, even print their team name across it. Throw in a bonus for when they all wear it. And telling them that actual nudity will not be accepted as long as I'm DM. They should be able to enjoy being beefy without making other people uncomfortable.
Beef hater
Reasonable
I was thinking sleeveless tanks, but yeah I like this idea.
And yes, important to set boundaries.
This is a really good compromise. It lets the players still have fun in the game, while respecting real life comfort zones and boundaries. At the end of the day, it is a game and meant to be fun, so consistently making someone actually uncomfortable in real life is the opposite of that goal.
Half-bad beef
"Take your pants off to DM."
Absolutely based and real advice.
DM just needs to find something the players all hate doing, and make them do that each time a shirt comes off.
Something tells me that would end in a coup.
Its time for a shopping episode
I actually did this with my old group (I am not the Redditor), but we called ourselves the Beefy Boys. I played a musclebound fighter and my buddy played a muscular sorcerer. The whole group were college athletes, so being shirtless wasn't an issue.
We would start the game as normal, but then find any excuse to remove our shirts. Like one time I got up to use the bathroom and came back without a shirt, and said nothing as though nothing changed. My buddy went to the kitchen to grab a snack and came back without a shirt, said nothing. Sometimes the other guys would get into the hilarity, but not as often. One time, the DM was sitting shirtless behind the screen when we showed up, and he said "The screen is for _your_ protection..."! Turns out he wasn't actually fully naked but it was funny because nobody knew for sure at first.
The main difference I guess is that nobody at our table was weirded out. As friends, we definitely spent more time together without shirts than with them.
To the OP (if this is a serious question, not an April Fools thing): First, check in with yourself to determine whether you are just annoyed or genuinely viscerally uncomfortable, and what it is about the situation that is causing those feelings. Is it frustrating because it's interfering with the game? Is it that it's creating a sexual tension? Or maybe their bodies are repulsive? You might guess that my suggestion would be to roll with it, maybe join in if you're so inclined. But I also believe that nobody should be made to ensure a situation that makes them uncomfortable, so feel free to leave the group if necessary. If it's more that it's annoying, simply refuse to start the game until everyone is dressed, and pause the game the moment that someone starts getting undressed. Hope this helps.
Stay Beefy!
A simple solution, get them those t-shirts with the graphic of a body builders torso on them. Bonus points for getting them with a decal of the words Beef Brigade.
If that's not an option then just stop DMing for them if it makes you uncomfortable and they refuse to stop despite you asking them to. You don't need players like that.
I'd reckon that they should only take off their shirts when exhibiting strength or in battle. The DM could say something like "The merchants are too afraid of your incredible strength and bulging muscles to talk to you."
Thats when you break out the monster manual to attack the PCs whenever they take off their shirt.
I LOVE THE BEEF BEGRADE
Bring your cat into the game
If you dont have one, get one that is EXTRA clingy
Youll soon find out that cat claws defeat muscles EVERYDAY
The beef brigade panseers sausages shirtless.
i wonder how many times he had to redo the recording if any, that sounded so hard to read out loud without breaking into laughter lol
I get the feeling that he is laughing so hard because it's new to him.
Maybe plan to have one of them find a magic item that gets more powerful the less skin the party collectively shows, yet starts debuffing them if their undressedness (?) gets above a certain point? It's like training rowdy dogs at that point; reward them if their good, punish them if their not.
Hey, if it works to get the group back under control, there's no such thing as Pride when it comes to DMing ......
Except for gay pride, there is always that when you’re playing D&D
@@LettuceGayming good point ....
@@LettuceGayming true. My character's sexuality will be whatever (EDIT:) is funniest in the moment.

My brain isn't braining rn
This answers the age old question, “where’s the beef?!”
just be glad they haven't oiled up yet
I could only imagine that was the best take Zac could do without spending at least three minutes laughing on the floor and trying to compose himself.
You can't stop the Beef Brigade!
I have a semi homebred dnd campaign running, on of my players has adopted a bronze Young dragon named Chris. Last session he rolled 3 nat 20's IN A ROW while trying to impress his adopted mom with his sword skills in order to avoid going to school. He also rolls a Nat 20 when fishing. At current he is the second richest character of the party.
Love hearing his uncontrollable laughter while reading
New band idea: beach rock with all barbarians called the Beef Boys, or party rock called the Beefie Boys
insert that scene from Full Metal Alchemist when Curtis meets Armstrong
💪🏻🤝💪🏼
T pose is the best pose for asserting dominance
I love how he was having more and more trouble to read it without laughing
It's like football fans. Ya just got to roll with it sometimes.
I'm so glad I discovered this channel. Now I have Mr. Ripper AND this channel for funny D&D stories. 😂
The giggles and falsetto were hilarious 😆
Start giving their characters armor check penalties...by raising the attackers' To Hit results.
It's all fun and games until the DM takes his pants off and pulls out the Sausage Squad! (Please don't abbreviate)
Roll out SS!
Oh God. Oh. Oh God.

10 points for alliterative pp reference.
It could also be the peach platoon.
@@macoppy6571 :D
The squeak at 'yell at me' made me snort-laugh.
Zac’s reaction of laughing made this shit so much more funny
im out of breath lmao im still laughing while typing this
YOU CAN’T STIFLE THE BEEF 😭
As soon as I saw he was laughing right off the bat, I knew this would be funny.
That is amazing and I am dying laughing with you! Players go rogue in the most comedic of fashions.
There is nothing you can do YOU CANT STIFLE THE BEEF!
Fabulous Custodes.
THERE IS NO STOPING THE BEEF BRIGADE
For far too long I thought the CHARACTERS took the shirts off... Poor DM 😂
The beef brigade when they enter combat:*pillar men theme blasting at full volume* AIAIAIAIIIIIIIIIII🎶🎶🎶🎶
You can't stifle the beef rifles *flexes*
Oh god, I took a sip of coffee right before the last line. Closest I've been to a spit take in a while. XD
i love how at the start he tries to keep a straight face, but slowly loses it as the story advances
The story? Funny.
Your voice getting progressively higher as you read it? Hysterical! Had me in tears! 😂
Posted on Reddit on 01 April 2023... yeah, might have been an April Fool's joke. Then there is the follow-up post on the following day in the same forum: "My DM hates it when I take off my shirt how do I explain why to them?"
lol
This sounds exactly like something my players would do. 🤣
Unless it were people I didn't know very well (which almost certainly wouldn't be the case, seeing as DnD is something I do with my close friends) I would have no problems with the beef brigade. 😂
The funnier the post, the higher Zac’s voice.
By far, the funniest part is them asking if anyone else has dealt with this
the incomprehensible cry-laughing is the BEST PART
Have their foes be the Lamb Baaagade, the Chicken Inquisition, can't forget the Pork Force, and the Venison Menace.
I read the video title as “my parents won’t play unless they’re shirtless” until my dyslexia fixed itself…. Sometimes this curse is a hilarious blessing.
Zac’s voice keeps climbing higher 💀👆
I love these, keep it up
CAN'T CONTAIN THE BEEF, BUDDY
It's all fun and games until the sleeper build enby proves that "those ain't pecs" (honestly in the right group of adults I wouldn't hesitate XD)
If this actually happened I’d try giving them incentive to keep their shirts on like, “Once per session you can roll with advantage by taking your shirt off and shouting a suitable Barbarian rallying cry. But if you fail to put your shirt back on before the start of your next turn all your enemies will have advantage until you do.” Give it a witty name and I think you’d be golden.
Stop. I can’t breathe! Too funny
Yeah, the take pants off tactic is definitely a good plan, if they call themselves The Beef Brigade then call yourself the Sausage God, unless you're a lady in which case I don't have anything
All of the cool people in the office chat channel are currently giggling uncontrollably.
reminds me of a player i knew who played a monk he refused to wear a shirt during play half was no ac in summer in an apartment other part playing to bit snice his character also didn't have a shirt but oddly even in winter so
“If anyone has dealt with a similar situation”
THIS IS NORMAL?!?!
Zac I don’t blame you I’m crying at the end of this too
The Barry Battalion plays dnd
Clearly the DM didn't even try to understand his players.
Try... try... TRICEPS!
Enforce a rule that if anyone takes off their shirt all players and DM to lift weights while playing. The players will find the idea fun for a while,as it is in character and theme for the world, but will likely stop taking off their shirts after a session or two because they don't want to lift weights anymore. But this idea could back fire and all the players get more swole as the game progresses, but on the bright side you are all getting stronger in both body and mind.
Get them T--shirts with fake muscles and/or He-Man's chest printed on them and make them wear them. Unless of course they actually lift, Bro, and don't need the help.
Build a 6 ft tall privacy DM screen. As long as you trust their rolls.
My advice. . . Don't cross the beef brigade
How funny you find this makes it even funnier than it is! Also I'm pretty sure this group is well on their way to becoming a nudist DnD crew. Would LOVE to hear future reports on how it progresses.
It sounds like that DM... has a beef with his players. 😎
Lower the indoor temperature. if they complain I am hot, put a shirt on or something"
You can't stifle the Beef Brigade
YOU CAN'T STIFLE THE BEEF!
There's only one thing that would stop that mad cow disease.
if you can't play with your shirts on, I can't play with my pants on
I don't know which is funnier, the story or your reaction to it. LOL
If they don't like it, I'll DM them for them.
Every player without a shirt = +1 challenge level per encounter. Either they wear shirts or they die.
Whats funnier is in a campaign I’m playing in one of the pc’s pants got slashed because there was a screaming dead child who summoned a doll that appeared in the pant pockets of a PC and and so we got "Take off your pants! It's the only way!", "Please don't fall unconscious with the pants down", “Assless Chaps”, “Chapless Asses”, "I will hold a torch to keep your loins warm while you sew your pants." And “So my loins do have cover” over the course of one session and then like an hour later we had our first permanent PC death in the campaign. This was such a good session it was even better that it was a cliff hanger because after this we did not get to play for 2 weeks and so one of the players got to shout at the top of their lungs to my dm before the following session “What the fuck was up with that ?” And my dm’s response was “you don’t know, you’ll find out in… *checks watch* 54 minutes *smiles deviously*”
My advice? JOIN THEM!
Aya ya ya! *INTENSIFIED*
Rowan Bettjeman entered the chat...
This had me in stitches xD
The DM just added firearms to the campaign because these monsters all got tickets to the gun show. *flexes*
This would've been a great situation if you crush was in the party
The fact that you're just D Y I N G reading this makes it so much better
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lower the AC on game night until they risk hypothermia unless they put their shirts back on.
My advice is to make a rule that shirts only come off during combat. Not before, not after.
Outside of that I am WHEEEZING! Help!
Brother at that point just accept it and just glue your eyes to the script
