>>17306554
Cool story bro. 8/10 on presentation. I give it an A.

>>17306577

Of course not. OP is obviously full of shit.

My worst experience with a 'That Guy' was a dude who was so racist we couldn't let him keep playing in the LGS (I started getting bad vibes when he said his character was called 'Piet Pretorius'). His roleplay was awesome, so was his imitation of a South African (Rhodesian?) accent, but there's only so many racial slurs one group can take, even if its an nWoD game.

Cool guy.

Sounds legit.

>That Guy is about 300 pounds, fedora, trench coat,combat boots and aviator sunglasses
>"Oh no, it was very tasteful, every time she cast a spell she would slowly strip until by the end of the game she was naked and shivering
>That Guy reaches in and tries to bring girl closer to him, grabbing her ass and neck and trying to kiss her
There's no way you're not making this up. Things simply don't come together like that.

You know what?

I believe every goddamn word.

Somebody has to. And people like this exist.

>>That Guy whips out a GIANT FUCKING COMBAT KNIFE and slices his palm, letting blood drip down into a bowl
>>That Guy whips out his knife

Wait, he cut his hand IRL? And you didn't fucking punch him then? This is on you OP.

>>17306564
>>17306554
what

Honestly I would have believed you were it not for the way he made a move on the girl. You should have toned it down and just had him grab her ass and awkwardly flirt with her.

>>17306622

They honestly don't. There isn't a person alive who would do that. Not on the first night anyway. Finding out someone is nuttier than a squirrel shit takes time and dialogue.

>>17306616
>>17306607
Op here, it did happen. I've had run-ins with That Guys before, but I guess That Guy was "Sheltered" in that he only hung out with people that would reinforce actions like that. When he moved he had to actually ask at a LGS if there were any games going on and the DM was there and invited him.

So... About that That guy thread...

>>17306644
>"Sheltered"
>hung out with people that would reinforce actions like that.

>"That Guy whips out a GIANT FUCKING COMBAT KNIFE and slices his palm, letting blood drip down into a bowl"

That's not sheltering. That's a cult

>>17306623
>>17306635
Believe it or not, I was reluctant to punch somebody holding a knife.

And I think the reason he tried that was because his previous group, stuff like that was normal.

>>17306623
Would YOU punch a guy who had a knife and had just cut himself with it?

It's like they learned how to play D&D from Chick Tracts, some people.

>>17306636
mental ilness is more common than you might believe, 1 in 5 people suffer from depression in their lives (proper biochemical depression, not just being sad for a time).
THAT GUY may have been having an especially bad day of crazy

Sorry, you lost me at "cutting his own hand."

Actual That Guy story:

>Playing Pathfinder at local game store, between groups
>Roll up elf thief, CG
>Other players include dwarf paladin, tiefling wizard, and dwarf cleric
>Ready to play
>"Hold on, we're waiting for my friend to show up."
>Wait half an hour, getting bored, DM won't budge or let us start without the guy
>Eventually in walks this land-whale, has to be around 280 or something, wearing cargo pants with marinara stains and a sporting a bloatee
>I can see the grease on his glasses from like ten feet away, thick like vaseline
>Immediately settles down like he owns the table, takes a swig from a bottle of soda, and belches
>"Awright, I'm playing a human barbarian, and I'm going to be party leader, and if you don't like it you can walk."
>Considering walking, but wanted to see where this goes
>Endure about an hour of gay jokes ("Hurr hurr you're an elf, you should know what it's like to take it up the ass"), him ordering our party around like his own personal servants, hoarding the best items, and flat-out lying to us about stupid shit.
>DM encouraging it, lets it slip these two have been gaming together for a while, starts telling us great stories of this guy's barbarian and how we should be honored to play with a "veteran."
>Everybody else taking it. Am I going to? FUCK NO.
>"Alright, I'm out. Fuck you and your game."
>Slam book closed, toss away character sheet, leave
>Haven't returned to store since

Not exactly the most interesting story, but damn, it boils my blood just remembering it.

I don't believe it. You broke my suspension of disbelief.

Also, in case anybody wants it.

>>17306688
That sounds more like a problem with humans chemical systems.

>>17306760
If you could prove that, you would be the best psychiatrist EVER.

>>17306668
Glorious, if true.

>>17306732
Who cares if you believe or not? /tg/ is story time

Its always sad when these go to shit because of sadtastic story telling

>>17306564
Did he cut himself IC or shit he just slice his hand up for real?

>>17306854
He cut it for real. It wasn't a deep cut I guess, just enough to dribble a few drops into the bowl. But it was enough to freak me out.

>>17306607
Did he call people munts and said shit like "my china" all the time?

>>17306882
I'm fairly certain this is the point at which I would have had him exit the house. I mean shit, I've kicked people out of my house for less.

>>17306607
>My worst experience with a 'That Guy' was a dude who was so racist we couldn't let him keep playing in the LGS
Ok... what did he do?

>(I started getting bad vibes when he said his character was called 'Piet Pretorius').
You sound like the bigot in the room here.

>but there's only so many racial slurs one group can take, even if its an nWoD game.
How old are the players in this group? If it contributes to the character and the game, it's good.

People really should be less PC and sensitive about this shit.

>>17306882

I knew a dude who did the same thing but he was playing a bloodspeaker in L5R.

>>17306882
Dude that shit's messed up.

I almost wish I was there, I always miss out of people acting like this and really wish I was there when people tell me about shit like this.

>>17306668

I don't care if it's true or not

These shitty greentext stories really need to stay on /v/

>>17306968
Saying greentext stories belong on /v/ is like saying quest threads belong on /v/. We get it. Some people don't like them. Nevertheless they've been here a while and they're not going anywhere just because you don't like them.

let me tell you about my that guy. And his comuppance.
>The DM was a guy who we will call "Bro", mainly because he is my brother. He was not used to DMing, but he had a good heart, and was determined to make the campaign awesome
>We had a female player who we will call "Punk". She was tall and covered in tattoos and piercings. A bit of a bitch, but a great roleplayer who didn't bring personal feuds IC.
>A scrawny guy who we will call "Psycho". He was shy, didn't talk much, and always had a dumb smile on his face. Average rollplayer, was occasionally meta, but would immediately straighten up if called out on it. Also, batshit insane.
>And a short, slightly chubby guy we will call "That Guy". He was an arrogant power gamer. Surprisingly good roleplayer who never broke character. The problem was what he did out of character.
>We would meet at the local game shop, or sometimes at Punks apartment.
(Cont)

>>17306668
I laughed hard at the "I turn into a moped. Beep beep!" part.

>>17306933

Okay, shoot me for not wanting to play nWoD with a guy who says 'kaffir' every two seconds. The character was basically a mouthpiece for the player's mental neo-colonial attitudes. Funny guy, and all, but holy shit, the owner got buttpained.

>>17307070
I don't even know what a kaffir even is.

>>17307082

Its like the boss of all racial slurs. Kind of like 'nigger' if nigger still meant something.

>>17307082
I think it's like saying "slave nigger".

>>17307088
european slur for black africans.

>>17306890
>>17306918
Not that I heard. Mostly he talked about how awesome his old group was and trying to make the girl laugh(Very awkwardly).

If it had been my house, I would have but it was the DM and his brothers so I had no say in the matter. Afterwards, my mutual friend and the girl agreed to just not play there anymore. And like I said, I've run into That Guys before.

>>17307088
>>17307091
Huh. You learn something new everyday.

I did not expect that today's something would be a racial slur.

>>17306554

Isn't it only used in South Africa? Like one of those old Apartheid things?

>>17306636
You think that until you meet somebody and realize, "holy shit, they're not joking, I don't feel safe anymore, how did this happen so fast?"

>>17307113

Hence the name 'Piet Pretorius'.

Imagine the most jingoistic apartheid-era policeman ever, and then make him a vampire.

That's what I was dealing with.

>Now, all throughout the campaign, That Guy kept making cracks at everybody.
>He also would mock other players roleplaying, downplayed others achievements and played up his achievements like he was the second coming, then bragged about them later. He would also never let anybody live a failed roll down.
>Now, after a bit of this, Punk told him she was going to kick his ass if he kept this up. So, he pretty much started to mellow out a bit on the douchebaggery, only using about an ounce of it per session.
>One day, Punk stepped out for a smoke, and ThatGuy activated douchebag-mode in full force. He was trying to curry up favor with Bro, and since i was Bro's, Bro, that left Psycho.

moar

I'm the guy writing this story >>17307107
and I want to see how it goes, this guy sounds kind of like the one I'm currently dealing with

>>17307165
(Forgot to mention we were playing Exalted, that guy was a Dragonblooded)
>So he kept insulting Psycho, calling him an idiot, and i swear to god he kept saying "Amirite gais?" Just like that after every few insults. We just rolled our eyes.
>We should have noticed when psychos usually dumb grin was off that day, but we didn't. But that guy did.
>He went on with the generic "Aw, you gonna cry?" Insults, till finally bro asked him to stop. At that point, i noticed that Psychos oddly out of character frown had turned into a calculated glare.
>Now, a few sessions later, we had all but forgotten about it, and we were having a session at Punks apartment, due to shop being closed for Labor Day. He gave Punk an envelope before hand, and told her to open it when he said when.
>Now, all throughout the last sessions, Psycho kept spending his experience raising his crafting, specifically craft Genesis, managed to convince that guys character to let him use his manses basement as a workshop and he was also investigating an NPC
>An NPC that happened to be ThatGuys characters wife, as well as a breeding five dragonblooded.
>Now, That Guy decided to take preemptive action, and kept building up his Craft Genesis, so he could kill Psychos character should need arise without any backlash. I'd like to make a note here that we had never seen Psychos character sheet, nor see him use any charms.
>Psycho took the DM aside, and talked to him about something. We heard the sound of rolling dice, and the DM came in looking slightly shocked.
>Nobody really thought much of it, then we finally got to the ball we had been building up to the whole campaign, held inside Thatguys Manse.
>And thats when it all came to light.

>That Guys wife had been craft-genesisd to the point were she was just recognizable. It appeared her ribcage had exploded out of her chest, and her legs were halfway fused into a tail, and her arm had been removed for some reason. just to name a few things.
>The partygoers, who included the new Scarlet Empress, knew he had been studying crafting new life.
>Shitstorm.
>He managed to escape into the deepest recesses of his manse, where he found, guess who, Psychos character, next to a big tank filled with a newborn eldritch abomination inside. An Eldritch abomination that, as Psychos character proudly explained, was made with pedigree Dragonblooded cells.
>Thatguys character connected the dots.
>Short conversation, in which Psycho's character proudly explained the process of getting cells from her arm, and that when he didn't need her anymore he tried to turn her into something more beautiful as thanks, but he got distracted halfway through, so he decided to leave her there as the main course, claiming that she was "delicious" at least. "After all, what do you think was in the dinner i made you last night?

>ThatGuy limit breaks and rushes Psycho's character with a sword.
>That's when we Psycho's character pulled out a fiery solar cannon and blew him away.

>>17307557
YES. GLORIOUS.

>>17307557

Fucking awesome. Also, pic is how I can't help but imagine Psycho's character. Probably not at all accurate, but there it is.

>>17307636
Yeah.... remove that guy....

>>17307629

>5 rounds to set up a single combo

>it does 1/3 of the bad guy's HP

This is considered an accomplishment? If an entire encounter lasts more than 5 rounds I'd be concerned.

>>17307636
Play another striker class and stab him in the back mid-combat. You can probably deal enough damage to take out another striker if you play one yourself.

Probably counter-intuitive to having a good team-oriented group OoC, but hey it gives an internal consistency for why there's suddenly one character less in the party and all you have to do is tell him to fuck off and never roll a new character.

>>17307674
I tried making my own campaign, he somehow came despite the fact that my hate for him was kinda obvious after that day. He made his character a fighter with a 1 handed sword, no shield and demanded he was the leader because he was the cities guard.

The reason he was a guard? [spoiler] He took an arrow to the knee [/spoiler] Not even fucking kidding, that was his reasoning. Got kicked after the first session

I've never understood how you guys can keep quiet during shit like this.

I'm not even all that aggressive, but anytime someone starts trying bullshit like in this thread I just get up and leave.

>>17307702
We had a marauder ranger, enough said. Half of the team was dicking around, atleast the bard did her job well.

>>17307070
Seriously, you're getting pissed at 'kaffir'? Most people don't even know what the fuck kaffir means. And if you really couldn't take it, why didn't you just ask him to stop?

>>17307728
Well, sounds like he's from South Africa, where he WOULD know what it means.

And it'd be like if you're sitting in your LGS and keep hearing some random guy keep saying 'Nigger' over and over.

(Sidenote: Still doesn't make it any less hilarious that my friend in my 3.5 game referred to Tauren in Warcraft as 'Beefniggers'.)

yes, he did, at this point me and my backup had been playing maybe two weeks, meaning a total of about 3 hours playing for me, he has since decided to take up residence as the GM for dark heresy in the area. and by his rule, all space marines have lower stats than guardsman conscripts, and his dark eldar rule most of the galaxy

>>17308027
watched him get utterly tabled by blood angels armoured list at one point, a Baal predator does nasty things to deldar

>why hasn't this been posted

I don't have any witty ending to this story.
The deathwatch campaign i currently play in got a new player as of 2 or 3 weeks ago. He had played in a previous campaign with the group i'm in.

Imagine an overall skinny guy with a beer gut and a huge beard, obscuring most of his face.

first 5 minutes of him playing and he's whining that he can't play HIS apothecary even though he hasn't taken the time to update his old stats, all our characters are cut off and on their own behind enemy lines with no reinforcements, and he's been given another player's apothecary to hold him over for the time being. He keeps on whining. GM jokingly has us roll perception to notice an apothecary shaped meteor splatting messily into the ground nearby. Guy starts freaking out thinking the GM is being serious and killed off his character. Starts exclaiming that my assault marine could have tried to catch him midflight or some bullshit. Takes forever to reassure him that his character hasn't been killed off.

over the past 3 games:

Spends pretty much all his time whining about bad rolls, good rolls, whining about advantages he gets, whining about advantages he's not getting, whining about stuff we get, whining how this apothecary sucks, criticizing every decision any of us makes, intentionally invoking friendly fire incidents "because he doesn't care anymore," and sulking while he lies on the couch 30 ft away from the table, occasionally rolling the dice on the floor next to him, while he whines and whines and whines.

We've taken to calling him negative nancy. I've avoided doing anything to his character directly since its technically just a loaner belonging to an absent player until his real character can get intro'd. But i also don't want to do anything to alienate the other people since i'm technically the new guy here, even if that guy is being dreadfully annoying. Seriously, most petulant 30 year old i've ever met.

I feel like a babysitter, and just try and keep a cool head. And because of it, I'M called and referred to as the THAT GUY of the group.

>>17308426

I will say, that in playing with my current group, I am enlightened to the latent humor of the 40k universe.

Maybe it's just me, but there's something humorous about a straight-cut Ultrasmurf pulled in multiple directions trying to keep a lid on his girls, glazing most of it over with a facepalm and a sigh. His girls I mention, because on at least more than one occasion my pleading to keep things "acceptable" has been met with "Alright, DAD!"

>>17308457

Anyone got that picture of the Pimp Ultramarine?

I just think that should be your destination for this. Gradually over time end up as their pimp.

It will be a glorious disaster

The obvious solution is to take things in a full 360 and moonwalk out of there. They think you're that guy? No, they haven't seen that guy. But you know that guy, and you're going to become what they want. You're going to go full fucking retard and abandon them to their own self destructive devices. Have your space marine fall to chaos the next time they get themselves in trouble.

Yes, actually literally. Out of character that is. Or maybe it was in, it seemed out, but there's no way of knowing without clarification right?

>>17308447

Similar to my own reaction, however it is the only regular playing group around here. Still not sure if that is worth it.

>>17308457
There's gotta be a drawfag that can make something of this. Crazy-ass band of SoBs in the foreground doing God-Emperor knows what (groin-kicking inquistors, seducing commissars, drinking all the amasec, swinging around their breastplates), Ultramarine standing in the background facepalming.

Trying to come up with an explanation to an Inquisitor, Eldar Farseer, and Tech priest.

>>17308457
I feel for you man. I was in a GURPS game where I played a School Teacher who after a 'Hangover' style situation woke up on a plane to somewhere in the Middle East with a bunch of gruff looking fellows (other players) and a contract pinned to his shirt saying he'd signed on to wipeout a terrorist group.

Almost the entire time running around I actually felt like I was assisting with taking care of kindergarten kids. I was the only one in the group with social or work skills so I ended up being face, writing checks, taking care of the money, renting rooms, talking them out of bar fights, getting them out of jail, ect. After succeeding in our mission we were flown home, forced to sign documents promising not to talk and paid $30,000.

After saying my good-byes and trying to get the fuck out of there I ended up going out for one round at a nearby pub as a thank you for taking care of them. Woke up with a hangover, no memory of what had happen the night before and on a plane to China with another contact pinned to my shirt.

i have to say, i find the idea of a lone ultramarine trying to keep a gaggle of unruly sisters in check not only hilarious but fun and compelling in its own way.

I can just imagine the ultra marine sitting in his favorite chair reading the newspaper while 1 of the sisters rushes down stairs in repentia attire (or lack there of)

sister- bye i'm going to kill the heretics
marine- what? not looking like that you won't
sister- oh come oooonnnn
marine- NO! If you live under my command you will respect the rules of the codex, now put some armor on.
sister-uuuugghhhh i hate you! *marches back upstairs*
marine- *tries to go back to reading the paper, adjusting his glasses, but is interrupted by screaming from down the hall.
Marine- what is it now?
Sister2- She is hogging the bathroom all to herself!
Sister3- AM NOT
Sister2- ARE TOO!
Marine- Ugh, what did the codex astartes say about sharing?

>>17308644
"Please don't make me say it again, it was bad enough the last twelve times."

>>17308673
that's too much win to be real, but if so, you are my god

>>17308673

...Rock?

>>17308676

I would like to imagine it's something like that, but it's more akin to those moving clouds you see in cartoons when two characters get in a fight, with fists and debris flying out.

Something like that, except on a large scale, with more than just fighting taking place, and my character standing steadfast amidst. The scornful eye of the Imperium falls.

"Uh... maybe we should..."
"Girls I don't think..."
"That's not written in the..."
"I'm not sure if that would be..."
"That's not very... you really shouldn't..."

All the while I can't actually really do anything, because they're all violent, armed to the teeth, and in several cases better than my character at fighting.

>>17308692
What can I say? I've got a great DM who just rolls with what the players throw at him. I asked what the group had and we had a drug addict doctor, a sniper, a demolitions guy with dwarfism, two brothers Army of Two style and no one with skills beyond shooting stuff and drinking.

Did it as a joke but it worked out real well. Favorite moment of the game was when the extraction team was coming in as we were pinned down by a lot of terrorist and the demo guy was down. Picked up his grenade launcher and started rolling 3's - 6's with no training and just blowing shit up left and right. Extraction team comes in and everyone is staring at me with awe in their eyes, "Um..Teacher? Where did you learn to do that?"

"I went to public school," Adjusts tie and hands the launcher back to demo guy as he is carried past me onto the chopper.

>>17307876
Dark Eldar player. They used to get bonuses for 'capturing' enemy models. The bonus was victory points.

This is kind of like playing Pokemon TCG with idiots who thought "Prizes" meant "6 random cards up for grabs".

>>17308746

>>17308746
>shutupandtakemymoney.fng

>>17308764
Yeah, that's kind of bad.
I think the only place that would apply would be "underground Pokemon TCCG/40k.", in which one must also potentially cut off body parts if one loses.

>>17308746
Its actually one of my few moments in the game where my character wasn't rolling about the floor in agony due to my low HP or screaming at the other players about how they are trying to get him killed on purpose. Most of the time it really was "Teacher" answering stupid questions like "Well why can't we just shoot all the police?" and "How is this my fault? All I did was stab the prisoner a few times."

Other awesome moments of note are our trip to a bio-weapon fascility and almost single handedly keeping the entire team from contracting god knows what, blowing up an at sea oil refinery with a critical miss, and burying an entire bus full of bodies out in the dessert cause certain team members couldn't learn that bribing a border guard and then killing him to get your money back wasn't smart the first four times.

Guys, his character cut his hand with a hunting knife as it is a component of that spell.
The That Guy himself pulled a knife when people objected to his grabbiness.

>>17308933 My groups pretty cocked up as is. I doubt you could cock it up any more. We've had to move over to playing over Skype and such because when you get my group together we tend to bullshit and mess around more then play. Online our DM can be a bit more of dick and we're okay with that.

Several of our best games have been over oRPG. One Dark Heresy game lasted over a year with us playing every Friday and sometimes Saturday/Sunday. The Sequel lasted almost another whole year. The game after that changed DMs since he was burnt out but that one lasted several months and was D&D 3.5

>>17308746

>>17308494
I have played a one-shot crawl that had ALMOST this exact circumstance.

Either you are misremembering things, or I am communicating with a mirror universe version of one of my friends which is ballin.

Difference is that it was Tyranids that were being fought, and the blow was struck with a Thunderhammer. Otherwise, exactly the same.

>>17308494
A nearly identical thing happened to me once. Amazingly close, actually.

>That guy is in the campaign
>Weedy little kid, brown/ochre hair, fucking annoying type of player
>That guy goes Libarian, he's the type that likes to go spell casters
>GM has us investigating a derelict spaceship
>Three different games running simultaneously
> Invested with Tyranids, bump into Hive Tyrant (?)
>Run the fuck away because oh god we're gonna die
>Get to engine room, warp portals start spawning
>Minor daemons arrives
>Horde of Tyranids coming down opposite corridor
>Ohshit.jpg
>Devastator holds off the nids while the rest of the party kills the minor daemons
>That guy gets POTW attack, switches bodies with the Dark Templar Techpriest
>Techpriest flips the fuck out, cuts out tongue of psyker's body, and attempts to disembowel himself
>Switches back before he can finish
>That guy flips the fuck out that the Techpriest just tried to kill him, turns on party
>Casts smite on the Assault Marine, full power
>POTW twice
>Spell reflects, one-shotting himself
>Summons Khornate Daemon Prince
>Ohforfuckssake.mkv
>That guy flips the shit and storms out
>I am sick of this shit,
>BloodFrenzymodeengage.png
>Whip out Thunder Hammer, Lightning attack the Daemon Prince
>Righteous Furies everywhere
>Effectively kill the Daemon Prince twice over with a single lightning attack before penetration is calculated.
>Bloodthirster flees back into the warp after seeing the Daemon Prince utterly annihilated.

At about this time, our devastator finally died, taking the hive tyrant with her in a grenade-infused frenzy, and one of the other groups successfully detonated the entire ship, killing everyone inside save for a single servo-skull that was recording our group. It's name was Nappa, the sole survivor. NEVER FORGET.

The campaign setting was called ‘Birthright’, a strange departure from usual DnD in that each player was a ruler of a regency, and had the blood of a god in them that linked them to the land and gave them abilities. Whatever, I didn’t really learn much about this side of things, because, when to the second or third session I was told that as they’d already started it would be better that I instead be some sort of high ranking officer for one of the other players. I was a little disappointed but I rolled with it, and made my character; a Paladin. I don’t remember the country I was with, but it seemed to fit. Oh how I had misjudged.

I had the displeasure of the THAT GUY character over the course of the game becoming one of the most deep, tragic, and complicated characters I've ever seen, despite all the horrible details about it, which completely went against what I expected. I wish I could say or see that regularly, but no chance.

>>17309877
I’d already played and DM’d 2E plenty so I had a half decent grasp of the rules, but a lot was still unknown to me. So far it had only been me and a couple of friends and my brother just killing and montyhauling, which was awesome, but when I was given the opportunity to play with a large group (maybe 7 players) of twentysomethings I was so excited. Playing with adults! What’s more, many of them were actors at the local theatre. I mean sure, the DM literally was gay, but I’m not prejudiced.

>>17309887
I arrived at the game and met everyone. They were mostly ok, but a few stand out in my memory. The players were all regents of their various domains. First was a young guy leading playing some kind of warrior, he seemed the most normal and reasonably presented(I’ll call him ‘Mark’). He obviously knew the girl who played the regent who I was supposed to be an underling of. This girl (I’ll call her ‘Alison’) was an ugly-faced, overweight thing with large square glasses. She was unwelcoming and rude, *except* when she spoke to the young guy, (were she’d become a giggling, tittering slug). Had it not been before the days of the internet, I'd have recognised the fatal mix of THAT DM AND THAT GIRL.

>>17309829

>Terrorists seem to be arranging bathroom breaks, and i got chosen!
>Try to convince people with me in the bathroom to overwhelm the guard

>So what am i supposed to do? 'just wait something'll happen i swear'

>That so wont work says DM, other bathroom player agrees with me instead
>I'm doing it
>Uhh, well, two terrorists start toward the bathroom
>Fuck it, kick the door, full auto. Untrained, roll single diget.
>Roll damage, its a lot "Yeah, they're dead" I say

>All other party members have to talk against him for him to calm down and now there is 2 dead more terrorists
>He calls the game there for now

>Nopeing the fuck out now.

>>17309893
I created my character with the DM and his younger brother, who was my age. I wanted to be a paladin; a class which, in those days of 2nd ed, was rare because you had to be lucky enough to roll good enough stats to qualify at character creation. I roll the dice, and am amazed to find myself getting the scores I needed. Understandably I’m delighted; never played as one before, never got the rolls. Images of a noblebright Man-at-arms from He-Man type character are making me a giddy. However, there was a problem. It turned out, Alison wanted to be a Paladin too, and didn't want to share the limelight.

>>17309905
Long story short, young shy newb is told by DM, I can’t be paladin as Alison the slug’s regent is going to be one, and ‘as Paladins are such a rarity in DnD, it would be way too improbable to have 2 in the same country’. Yes, my mind boggled at his unfairness. So, I reacted in the only way I knew how to at such a young age, in the face of elders. Passive-aggressivley. I figured if I didn’t change my character, despite saying I would, he might never check (I'd noticed he'd been a bit rules light). I got away with it because the DM didn’t seem to ever look at character sheets. I thought I was really clever for this, but as it later turned out, it wouldn’t matter, because he also didn’t read any RULES for DnD for the fucking game either.

>>17309933
After the first couple of sessions, the DM confirmed what I’d thought; he blagged and narrated his way through much of the session. Dice were only rolled during combat, which didn’t seem to happen very often, because it seemed to confuse the DM too much. Combats consisted of endless waves of enemies the repeatedly attacked the party, until he decided it had gone on long enough. BBEG’s would retaliate with disastrous, unblockable powers that destroyed weapons or armour without a single die roll or save. NPCs who were often high level spellcasters teleported, healed, and gimped players on hilarious whims. I was beginning to think what a load of shit, when in one interesting session that I wasn’t present at, Alison manages to capture Mark’s character. Despite being a Paladin, she describes how she has put the poor guy’s character in her dungeon, where her tortuers are working on him to serve her. Paladin’s got torturers. The DM didn’t seem to care about things like the paladin’s code, and let this continue for several sessions. I thought fuck it, this is ridiculous, I’m a Paladin; perhaps the DM would be interested in letting me rise up against my psychotic liege?

>>17309976
Next session, Alison, who has never spoken more than 2 words to me, storms up to me shouting, what the fuck are you thinking, of overthrowing me? The DM told me. What’s wrong with you. I was astounded at the breach in player-DM confidentiality. I could have sexplained, where I not shitting my pants in the awkwardness of it all. No more was said about it, meanwhile Mark’s character languished still in Alison’s sex dungeon. Then the party was in a combat with some fucking trolls or some shit, and they all died. Fortunately, a wandering druid npc with no name happened to wander past and resurrect all of us, before teleporting us to his fucking hut. I am not making this shit up.

>>17310014
After another session of sitting on his ass, contributing nothing to the adventure for about the 4th session in a row because his character was still in the goddam sex dungeon, Mark never came back. HE was a nice fellow, and he will probably never play a traditional game again.

>>17310036
There had been about 10 people playing at the beginning of the game, but now there was only about half that. And with the only real bro gone, I knew my days were numbered with this shit. On the last session, we were exploring some sort of ruin. Full of empty goddam rooms, the whole thing. He'd downloaded a map, and down every corridoor it was the same. The room is empty. NOTHING. Then we found a trapdoor. It led to a tunnel.

'The tunnel ends. there are two exits. Left or Right?'

Right'

Okay, another fork now. Left or right?

Uh, Left.

'Okay. A bit further on you get to a junction. Do you want to carry on ahead, or go left or right?

um..

>>17310070
This went on for a while, when we eventually came to a small room. Seeing as we hadn't mapped our progress so far, because we were retards, we were now probably hopelessly lost. HOWEVER, we were very LUCKY again, because who appeared before us to help us, but Pic Fucking Related.

>>17310085

The Dungeon Master scolded us for our lack of patience. As it turns out, we had been fucking around in this maze for a good half an hour or so. The DM gave a big shit eating grin as he showed us a maze like the pic attached; massive, dense, convulted, pointless.

'As punishment for your impatience, everyone loses 1d6 Charisma'.

I laughed and I realised, that I could run a better campaign than all of them with my hands tied behind my back. I went home and started writing adventures properly, for my friends. I remembered all the horrible things that the group had done, and seared the lessons into my brain, so that I wouldn't repeat them.

Fuck this. I ran YGO! league at a store for about 4 hours on Saturdays for the better part of a year. The shit factor? Nope, not the seemingly-ThatGuys who came in (40-50 years, part of the Catpissmen Army); they were the nicest, most polite manchildren I've ever met.

No, it was the normal high school/college-aged guys who would come in. And demand Ante Rule, from these little kids, or use the confusion of taking control of cards for turns via Change of Heart or Brain Control to keep the cards for themselves. Plus the rampant theft that occured the first two times, which ended up getting all the YGO! cards locked in a glass case to prevent it.

As the runner, I had to go around, helping with rules calls and sometimes playing (a lot of the kids felt it was fun to play with me, especially when I helped them get better; god, the one poor little 7 year old girl with her 90-card deck... this was in the Long Ago Before Times of deck size limits for YGO!, other than 'minimum 40'). When I caught one of these little shitbags doing this to a kid (he was like six or something, had been forced to give up a Dark Magician rare from pack pulls), I pretty much banned them after getting back as many of the cards as I could (which wasn't many). That Dark Magician in particular.

God, it makes me angry to this day. I think that's why I don't do shit like that anymore.

So I think I might have been That Guy, I don't know. I'll let you guys and ghouls decide.

As a petty act of perceived revenge, a fellow player got my character shotgun wedding-ed when we went through the forest realm.

God that was a horrible experience. Now I never feel bad about what happens to elves.

A workshy Aryan, or an Aryan Ballastexistenz is still an Aryan.

This particular incident actually crashed a fun-as-all-hell Dark Heresy campaign for me. The GM and That Guy were playing it through Skype text-chat while the rest of us were doing a main quest.
I did not find out about this until I was sitting down to plan out an Eberron campaign with the same GM. He went back through his Skype message-history for the hell of it and was forced to recollect this venture.

>That Guy is playing an Arbitrator? Dunno, he refused to show his character sheet to players
>The rest of us have left this pirate ship we're infiltrating to go raid the nearby feudal world
>That Guy goes off and dresses up as a woman; rolls well to disguise himself
>That Guy then goes to the rest of the crew and charms them
>That Guy offers his body as a prostitute
>GM thinks he's joking, rolls with it for a few minutes
>That Guy is serious. Takes several (keyword: SEVERAL) crewmen to a room. Proceeds to have buttsex
>GM complains it's highly uncomfortable
>"Yeah, I know."
>GM forced to tolerate very detailed descriptions of intercourse and fake love-making
>MEANWHILE, the other guys are not getting much attention because the GM's mind is breaking
>Somehow That Guy murdered all of the "bad" crew and stole a suit of Best-Quality Storm Trooper carapace armor. When we return to the ship he is insistent that he did all the work.

This fellow has something of an unfortunate reputation within my group.

You might say he's naturally fucked-up. He didn't even need to play D&D or anything before he had developed some really bad roleplaying habits.
For instance, the very second character he ever played, in a 3.5e campaign I was forced to run by circumstances.

>After our second session ever, That Guy asks me to make his Gnome Cleric an NPC so that he can play something new
>"Sure thing. What do you want to play now?"
>"Half-Gnome Half-Celestial Cleric."
>"Uhhhhh. What?"
>"Well, since I've done such good deeds for my goddess..."
>(He made this very bizarre homebrew Goddess which was some sort of sexually-liberated super-strong justice-thing)
>That Guy continues, "I think it would make sense she'd send an agent of her power to assist us."
>I have no idea yet what the fuck any of this means. I agree
>That Guy promptly whips out his new character:
>High strength, retardedly higher Charisma and Dexterity and Wisdom and Intelligence. Has wings, therefore flies. They are level 2. He is wielding a greataxe that is scaled to a normal person
>Try to complain that this character is obviously overpowered
>He handwaves it, tells the others I am trying to control their characters. They riot over this
>I am forced to go along with this
>That Guy then helps another player make a character to replace one which fell off a cliff
>He hands him a Half-Dragon Fighter with 24+ Strength. He convinces him to be unfailingly loyal to his Cleric
>"Oh sweet mother of fuck."
>That Guy kills everything they come across. Later complains that he's bored

>>17311243
To be perfectly honest most of the cool stuff I did was luck. I also more or less asked for all the attention when I went ahead and testified in a trial despite being threatened not to. Oh, and the the thing with the Vampire? I actually escaped him. I jumped through the glass of a third story window and survived the fall more or less unscathed. He used some vampire discipline to make me limp back to him. Motherfucker had 5 points in Majesty or something.(This may have been nWoD, I forget).

>>17311209
>M
That's your problem right there.

>>17311275
Eh, I enjoyed the meta-plot going on there. It might've been The Requiem though. This is some years ago. Current party has no That Guy or That GM, we're all close friends with the same ideas when it comes to RP, namely that the story and fun trump rules and they count more than "winning".

>MFW still related, when Assamite has 'Movement of Mind x5' as his only big stuff, tries to survive fight by hovering himself and the box. Brujah Elder is giant, stabbing for a couple damage whenever he can, so we're in combat for like two hours while player hems-and-haws around, combined with retardation of OWoD LARP combat system.
>Assamite dies, player goes '... I wanted to go home two hours ago''
>I never played with that guy again.

>any player that plays a "sociopath"
Man, am I the only one who hates that? It's like they think that makes them efficient machines of pure logic, instead of the fucked up, emotionally unstable brain dysfunction it typically manifests in.

>>17311506
Trust me, you aren't the only one.

>>17311506
The thing is if they do think that, it makes it all the easier to roleplay the narcissism and instability that comes with it.

>>17311582
>>17311552

I had a guy, whenever some shit went down he just went: my character is unimpressed, he has no emotion. Or "I have infinite patience" or some shit like that. Discipline, I can get and fully approve of, but fucking nobody has the patience to stand thirty years trying to disrupt another wizard's epic spellcasting. He was level 15 at the time. No ring or magical artifact or anything to account for lack of sleep or food or whatever [I had told him I was sick of DMing, at that point and he took over].
He'd metagame like fuck all the damn time. At one point he killed a PC because he knew the player didn't like him and decided to just ignore all my "you have no reason to think this" warnings. Ended up with a cave in miraculously killing only him. We ended that, if I remember correctly.

>>17311614
If only he was playing as someone with Autism. "My character is unimpressed. My character stares at your shoes, slowly rocking back and forth." Then someone makes the WRONG BREAKFAST because it's THURSDAY and that's EGGS DAY not GRIDDLECAKES DAY or they tear his blue cloak with like 50 pockets and suddenly he flips out

>>17311671
New character idea. "ITS EGGS DAY!"

not trolling...

Not really That Guy or That DM, but worth mentioning:
in the group with the Shit GM and That guy with the infinite patience thing, was another guy. He was a metalhead(sort of, mainly because he's a giant pussy and a bitch) who would always Mary Sue to the extreme. If his characters died or he rolled shittily enough he'd stop paying attention or just decide to leave because "the story is over for him, now". He's a retard in truth. Neo-Nazi because some of his friends are and they buy him beer at the rallies. You get the idea. Emo as fuck, masochistic.

He's made a character "concept" of a Weaboo-vesrion Samurai, with a Large Sized Katana the DM(That Guy) said did 2d12 damage because "superior metalworking". This was in Dark Sun. Don't know if the default setting is like this, but we've always played it as: Metal is pretty much non-existent, Magic is unheard of except for the Sorcerer Kings of the Cities. Everything is Desert and Grim to the power of Dark. The DM had us go against (at level 12) two level 40+ Wizards that could break our hands just because they felt like it. Some bullshit reason related to the sword Idiot had.
The characters I make are usually reasonable within cultural limits. They usually end up leaving the Shit GM and Idiot during That

>>17311957
cont

Guy's sessions, because there's no reason for them to stick around. This time I decide not go away, making up some bullshit honour about how my character views his as a 'brother' or some shit. This was my 3rd character. The first one the GM killed because...reasons. Just decided to because he wasn't as effective at combat as the guy with the Large Katana and home brewed feats that allowed him to make a Full attack against everything in his threat range. And his crit range was 15-20. But I digress. The guy was a traditionalist Dwarven Fighter, cruel, but with a soft spot for people in need. Hated Giants though. My next character, a ranger, got killed after he rolled a natural 20 on a Will save because he "succeeded too well".
The third one was something the DM made up. Some crap elven fighter with specialization in Hand to Hand and no armor. Poor man's monk, basically.
So we go on these pointless treks through the desert, trying to make some sense of the Anime level of convoluted bullcrap the That Guy is spouting as the story. We decide to fuck it, go back toward our city and lead a coup within our mercenary organization, because we're badass by this point. It is at this point that Idiot's sword starts to "undo" people when he kills them. They cease to ever have been. I think That Guy was watching Bleach and this may be connected. Idiot starts insulting my character that he isn't helping him in Combat, because we can't remember the ones he kills [how the fuck did he know we where in combat, you ask? Fucking Magnets].
We go through this several times, with the DMPCs overshadowing us with their Epic and Awesome abilities and min-maxed builds. In the end, a lvl 40 Wizard snapped my char's neck, because he was becoming too powerful (level 16).

>Four players. One guy was a dwarf fighter, guy two was a human cleric, That Guy was a ranger (I think), and myself playing a Human Monk.

>Fuck no.
>Ask the DM if I can attempt to use my arrow catch feat to snatch his arrow as it's released.
>"Sure"
>That Guy lays his head down on the table for the rest of the game and remains silent.

We basically left him in that room and continued playing without him. Never saw that guy again.
Oh, and the Minotaur did help us out in return for a favor.

>DM
>using maps for anything but combats

when i first discovered my college had a gaming club freshman year, i joined right up.

>mfw the players who would become my friends later told me that at the very beginning, they thought i was gonna be THAT GUY, but instead proved myself a damn good teamplayer.

It would turn out THAT GUY status belong to someone else.

it was one arrogant pompus fat guy that had been in the club forever that left the group early on over some bullshit about his crossbow and whether it was readied or not.

Overall though, that group would be one of my favorite groups to play in. Like we literally had an former-satanist girl sitting at the same table as a skinny hardcore biblebelt christian, and we all got along, cooperated, and hung out.

though the girl did on one occasion nearly bash my brains in with a chair during a movie.

I know a guy... who might not be johncloudraven, but is disturbingly similar. last year I was in San Antonio Texas visiting family and I ended up staying with them for three weeks for the hell of it. I searched local game shops, and ended up meeting a guy who was sporting a shitty chinstrap, greasy slicked back hair, wore this cheesey pair of sunglasses all the time and had a long leather coat that he wore often without a shirt underneath because of how hot it was. and he had lots of funky jewelry. He was playing in a game with me and I only knew him from that one game, he went by the name 'Bishop' and nothing else. He died and left the game loling and I recall him talking about having some aztec vampires across the border to deal with.... odd bird... Probably not the same guy. Hopefully not. But he certainly lives the lifestyle.

>>17312150

So... that means that either John Cloud Raven is everywhere, or it's just a persona used by a secret order fighting evil.

>>17312122

I mean, this WAS 2010... but I just find that far too coincidental. It seems to just be a way of life... but just maybe...

bumping for more JohnCloudRavenBishop

>>17312189
John Cloud Raven is everywhere. He is our protector from the other land, where left is right and right is wrong. He has gazed upon us in our infantile ignorance and cast pity upon us, protecting us from whatever may lurk in the shadows.

My fucking soul hurts after reading that. Fuck this DM.

I knew a guy who wore a trench coat, aviators, slicked back black hair dyed even blacker, and a van dyke goatee. Insisted on being called The Walker. Yeah, THE Walker. I never played a tabletop with him though because he was into larping instead. But he sounds just like another incarnation of John Cloud Raven to me. My friend in his larping group described to me how they were being attacked by a swarm of familiars and The Walker used his primordial form to consume them and destroy the summoners with the power of their own familiars.

Sounds pretty John Cloud Raven to me. To top it off, their larping group met at Denny's all the time.

Oh yeah, one time I saw him downtown pantomiming shooting at things that weren't there. Motherfucker is protecting us all from threats we can't even PERCEIVE! Heh.

>>17306554

They play their own games, now. They stole all my minis and all my dice. We had bought them together, see. But fuck it. Getting rid of those two guys? Totally worth it. I stopped hanging out with the Shit GM about a year later.

I laughed so hard I coughed and saw spots.
Coughing might be illness though I am still amused.

i never knew any johncloudravens

however i think i knew the sort of people that would hang around a johncloudraven type person back in college

I used to have as a housemate a girl that was never at home and rarely actually went to her classes (she was failing everything completely and utterly) because she would spend all of her time up in tampa playing vampire larp, and would only come back to where she "lives" to play in the local college vampire larp.

The aforementioned college vampire larp actually, i swear to god, had "a no sex during he larp" rule, due to some previous incidents.

and no, no one in the vampire larp would qualify as remotely attractive to anyone or anything.

also the previous person to have lived in the room that i was in was a friend of the vampire larper girl, who was this grossly overweight pagan/wiccan goth girl who was seen (prior to my moving in) by my other housemate wandering around our weed infested backyard, touching the plants to "commune with the faeries" once claimed that larper girl's spirit guardian Bahamut (in the final fantasy sense) had told her through a dream that larper girl was sad. My friend also saw her wander fully clothed in her goth-wear into the surf at the beach as part of some ritual.

some people...goddamn

>>17312487
wait no, i take it back

i have seen an actual johncloudraven type

At a food court at a mall, walking around in black everything, face painted white.

looked like he might have done a call of the wintermoon at any second.

Yup. At least as of the Heroes of the Feywild book.

Best build ever: Pixie Berserker.

>>17312808
Are you saying they don't?

>>17312799
yeah pretty much

i just can't help it, when someone makes it patently clear what emotional buttons need to be pressed to get a reaction out of them, unless its because of something horrible and traumatic, i will be compelled to push those buttons from time to time if the person tends to react in a humorous way.

this was well before i ever had heard of trolling. It was just something i grew up around.

and sometimes it backfires catastrophically

Dude. Roll with it.
Play the "Dad".
Make it fun.
The difference between That Guy and the Fun Guy is taking a situation that dumps on you, and going "I can work with this".

In my game, I was out one week. So the DM decides I get knocked out, dragged back to a cave, and forcefully signed into a contract with Orcus (opening up the Book of Vile Darkness for use).
Instead of throwing a fit that I was being picked on for being gone, I rolled with it. He started to slowly become more violent, a bit more of an asshole (he was always a mouthy prick), etc. I basically took the penalty for being gone one week and turned it into a character. Of course, first I had a side-RP culminate in him breaking down to the healer that he feared he was becoming a monster and wanted her to kill him if need be.

TL;DR: Make it work for you. If the DM allows this shit to happen, clearly he's not about to punish you for rolling with the punches.

>>17312929

Oh shit.

Downloading.

>>17313533

The only problem I am faced with, is that I have to tread very lightly because anything I do that the other players might not like, they can always raise it with the DM and she'll side with them because... hey, they're all girls.

Dude, there's a difference between white knighting and kicking someone in the balls because he pulled a knife on your friend, and your mutual friend had just punched him in the nose.

How does a 300 pound man jump through a window?

>>17313614
which is why you gotta positiforate the negatorium

so you are an ultra smurf acting as chaperone for the rejects from the nunnery

roll with it.

play up the fact your character is a (relatively) wise old man surrounded by unruly upstarts with no impulse control. Be the only sane man. Play it up with relish. Instead of trying so hard to pretend that he's surrounded by professionals when its obvious he's not, focus on the fact he's surrounded by unprofessional undisciplined crazy bitches.

I mean it sounds like you're already doing it, but really just have fun with it.

TL;DR "MadCapellan" gave me my first Space Marine. He also threw underpants at some swedish christfag/blackmetalfag. And was beaten to tears with a pillow by a guy who looked an awful lot like a certain Matthew Ward does these days.

I would have so many stories but I have blocked most of the memories out in order to keep my sanity.

>>17314246
that reminds me

so i'm at a con and i run into this guy who is the son of one of the people who i work for. Probably in his early 20s or so. I'm in my late 20s

There's this girl with him, tight dress, SMOKING HOT. eyeball magnet.

He's talking to her very matter of factlly in between my conversation with him. I am polite and everything to her and am doing my best to not oogle but not ignore her, and i'm thinking, christ, this guy's got one hell of a gf.

hot blonde >hey so tell dad i'm gonna be over at blah blah
dude> 'kay sis'

Yeah if oogling at what i assumed was the boss' son's gf was serious nope factor. finding out its the boss' daughter, nope nope nope

>>17314379

>>17314379

I've always kinda-wanted to go to a con just because banging a chick dressed like a japanese cartoon would be pretty rad, and I'm normal enough that it probably wouldn't be too difficult (i.e. not some fatass in a Naruto shirt putting chicks on pedestals) but the horror stories about odor have put me off on it.

also chicks who cosplay and you would actually want to see naked. they are either going to have a screw loose upstairs or are mad slutty and are going to give you a souvenir you didn't ask for.

>>17311955

So that's my That Guy story.

Anyone got that that guy with the ghost-powered candy armor copypasta?

>>17314923

I don't but now I want to hear tales of candy-powered ghosts.

>>17314090
THIS. ABSOLUTELY THIS.
Your character is now a whethered, sarcastic man, constantly sighing and rolling his eyes to all this shit, just whittling away the days at this insane assignment.

Make him, in character, always act and react as if he's dealing with crazies. To the point where even their bloody superpowers are mentioned and commented on as being nothing but the dangerous psychotic episodes of a bunch of failures.

>>17308959
His character cut himself. And as roleplaying That Guy cut himself IRL. How is this that hard to understand?
Evidenced by his gloat by roleplaying and referring to the knife later as "his knife".
OP later went on to say that the reason HE hadn't beat the guy down earlier is because he knew had a knife.

>>17314826
sounds like your guy was attacked by a ghost!

>>17315637

At least he won if he walked out sounding so calm.

>>17315814
hmm..

who else do we know of that would be capable of defeating a ghost on their own....

oh fuck

are you sure your normal looking That Guy wasn't a certain someone in disguise?

>>17307144
>MFW I follow that link

Am I That DM for putting my characters into situations that can only be effectively solved by abusing the environment and Macguffins?
Ended the worst Pokemon Tabletop last night; I threw Missingo at them, in a setting 1 year after the events of first gen. A session before they had helped seal off the Cinnabar volcano, and they eventually figured out that they had to open it back up to take out Missingo (who was bound to that island).

On the subject of no longer being a That Guy player, how do I get comfortable roleplaying?

>>17315927
In my opinion, no.

Really wish I had met John Cloudraven myself, but I never did. Best friend and I did have a series of very disturbing encounters in highschool, though.

>Be freshman
>Have very depressed friend
>Comes back from Christmas break, bursting with energy
>Jokingly ask him "did you find God or something?"
>He says "something like that".
>Turns out he's been hanging out with his cousins.

Haha, I like it!

I'll try and do that now then, rather than just the bewildered battle brother overwhelmed by problem children, I'll play it like a caring old dad. Take an active interest in their lives.

"Hello there Sister 1, so is this your boyfriend? No, I don't mind he's an Eldar Farseer, just so long as you two care for each other, and keep it safe."

"Well done Sister 2, a commendable effort on knocking out that Commissar, good punching form."

"Right, well Sister 3, just so long as you donate a portion to charity, you can loot the Emperor's Chapel."

Stepped out real quick, gonna bump with more tales of my not-John Cloudraven friend.

>Be sophomore
>Best bro gives me a call
>"Hey man. You should talk to John..."
>"Why, what's up?"
>"He's acting weird..."
>Two of us go to his place. No one home except him.
>Guy is putting up Joker act (yes, he's acting like Heath Ledger)
>Stiffle urge to laugh, best bro is super serious.
>Guy starts telling us how conspiracybro's gf is a witch, and trying to kill us.
>Guy pulls out knife and starts playing with it.
>I now see what best bro meant.
>Starts talking very realistically about "cutting the curse out of her"

Naturally, I start freaking out.

>>17316825
>Bro starts reasoning with him, suddenly remember I'm a blank.
>Stand up dramatically
>Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of this one.
>Tell him I'll get close to her and neutralize the threat up close, allowing best bro to psychically-whatever her into submission
>best bro has look of "oh shit what are you doing??", but plays along perfectly.
>Dramatic exit, begin considering calling the cops.

Cue several weeks of planning and observation on this guy. Pretty fun, looking back, but the knife and the guys history of depression/blatant disregard for others was perturbing to say the least. Best Bro really came through, as we'd have entire conversations IN CHARACTER about this. Treated every second as if it were real. We go to the same college now, and whenever people ask why we're so tight, we say that we've fought demons together.

I will say I did not eat any, and thankfully so after what happened to that crewmember who turned out to be a Cipher Pol sleeper agent. I did ride around on her shoulders though, as a vantage point it was great.

Tremendously THAT GIRL, but in a hilarious way.

>>17307088
Kay just a little heads up--If you live in America, "nigger" still means something in real life. It seems meaningless online because lol4chan, but if you use it in person, shit will go down. People get expelled/fired/beaten physically over this. Don't take it too lightly.

>>17317085
thats kinda...weird and fucked up, sorta

i mean did that girl just combine the giantess, goo-girl, and vore fetishes all into 1 character...or has all my time on the net just poisoned me so much so much that my mind is in perma gutter mode?

>>17317182

Umm, yes I suppose so, when you look at it like that. Although it seemed like a logical progression to me.

That she wanted to have a logia, someone joked jello, to which she considered the applications. Then a giantess, to allow for overall, more jello (as she wasn't going to be finding it in the environment naturally). When one of the crew got caught in "friendly fire", it was described as cherry flavored, and so they made the jump to eating her. Which from her perspective I guess made sense as we didn't have to worry about food really anymore.

Although that's just my thoughts, she could totally have just played a fetish character. She functioned well enough in-game though.

The last group I was in was 80% "that guy" material. I swear, it was like flies to shit with this poor GM. There was aging fatbeard, who would never shut up and acted like he was an expert in everything... despite being a 40+ year old stockboy. There was the other guy who played his Mary Sue bullshit and would not stop repeating jokes from South Park. You also had yelling guy who had the brain of a twelve year old. There was the obnoxious couple, who had characters I've actually attacked in-game. And to finish it all off, there was Nazi Guy; so called for his disturbing pre-occupation with the Third Reich and the creeping antisemitism that kept appearing in his characters.

The poor GM... I think he wanted to do better, I really do. However, it was clear that he had submitted to despair and took whatever he could get.

There came a point where I just decided that it wasn't worth the drive or the headaches anymore and just stopped showing up. I haven't been in another group since.

That was almost eight years ago.

>>17316555
Nice trips, I think that means you need to tell us all about her.

>>17317257

Oh God, they're eating her... and then they're going to eat me... OH MY GOOOOD!

heres the set up at the time i had been gaming for about 3 years and deiced with a buddys engorgement to DM my first 3.5 game core rule book the orgnial races only roll 4 dice drop the lowest and you got to roll in front of every one. people at the game is my buddy we will call him bro, next was my then at the time crazy gf ussualy played fighter then there was quiet guy who always played rangers. then there was that guy we all knew him we will call him Mikey we knew him from school and invited him cause we need on more first session we all meet up and roll out chars bro rolls out a wiz elf, quiet guy rolls a ranger elf , chick rolls a barbarian elf , i say ok thats a bit odd so mikey what are you gona be he says i found a special race form the races of the wild book cant remember the name of the race there apprently built to be druids i think the dm on them was a 2 if that makes since but in this setting they would be treated as monsters and attacked on site that's OK and all i told him as long as he had a good disguise he could do it since im not totally unreasonable. so this is where the fun starts
> that guy says well if i cant walk around in public like the party of elfs over there i don't want to do it so i told him no go if you cant play by the rules you cant do it and he cryed about it for a second then he pulled his laptop out and stared a program called redax or something like that its a 3.5 roller he came up with a fighter with str 20 int 21 and chr 18 nothing was under a 15 i told him that wasn't gonna cut it he has to roll in-front of me so with that idea being blasted he sits down and starts rolling keep in mind this all takes place over the course of 3 hours the next abomination he rolls out is a average build he wants to re roll because its to weak i tell him no we all got one roll

>deal with it sooooooooo he makes the char a half orc cleric of a lawful good deity of agriculture we all just stare at him opened mouth high int and chr. well we finally start the game takes place in a pub called ally of lost souls the mikeys char is drinking rum and talking about how good he is when in walks three elfs mikey who says out of game my char is knowen in this bar and i dont like elfs i say ok you dont like elfs but this bar don't know you from a monkey in the zoo. he rages for about a min then proceeds to pick a fight with bros elf . bro throws wine on his plate male and mikey does says im going to grapple i was oh for the love of fuck ok do it long story short mikey grabs elf boy and uses his hair to dry his armor and i right him a note that he is no longer a cleric he blows up and storms out not to be seen for 3 more sessions
