Does it count as "That Guy" if it ended making for a pretty good plot-arc, despite putting everyone else in the party in danger?

>Make rich spoiled swordgirl character.
The basic idea here was that she was going to be some bored noble that used her family's money to get lots of sword training and be pretty good at it... but sorta suck at everything else.
My intention was to almost be a comic-relief character. Rush into fights overconfident and unprepared, refuse to use stealth when the rest of the party wanted to, whine every time we had to camp out somewhere instead of going to an inn (complete with having zero survival skills)... basically have the party babbysit her until she learned that adventuring was SRS BSNS and finally grow up and have some character development.
That's not what happened.

>First plot arc leads us to some abandoned necropolis or whatever that cultists are using for some summoning ritual.
>Party mage is studying the statues and ruins outside, rogue is looking for loot or traps or some shit, religitard paladin is praying to god or whatever. BORIIIINNNNG.
>Go in alone
From this point on in the RP, my luck just turns amazing forever.
>Through dumb luck and not a single roll under 18, I avoid the traps along the way out of sheer reflex saves.
>Get to main chamber, severely outnumbered
>At some point in the following fight, I rolled three 20s in a row.
>Win fight, kill all the cultists
>Party finally finishes up their shit outside, prepares to move in
>My character is casually strolling out with a bloody sword dragging the cult leader behind her.
>"You guys done with study hall out here? Good. Not that you deserve it, but I don't need the money anyway, so if you carry him back for me, I'll let you share the credit."
The entire rest of the RP went like this. I didn't even mean it to. It was like playing Fallout New Vegas with 10 Lucky, everything just worked for me ALL THE TIME. What was supposed to end up being a character the party needed to babysit ended up stealing the spotlight, being a total bitch about it (hey it's her personality) and earning me untold butthurt.

Not sure if that guy. It just seems like you're the only one who optimized. That's just an issue with party. This is why groups should make characters together.

They mostly come from the first years of gaming. I was so young and so, so stupid.

I DMed for a bunch of schoolmates in high school. But I wasn't really fond of them. So after the second session I sent them to a kind of tomb-of-horroresque dungeon filled with deathtraps and killed them all. (it didn't hel that
they kinda were ThatGuys of their own, as teens usually are).
Then, one of the guys wanted to run a game for me and my other friends. Suspecting a revenge TPK, we briefly considered showing up with the Dark Lords from the ravenloft book as PCs, but in the end agreed on just powerleveling our evil characters from our home campaign and use those. The adventure was a straight rip-off from Baldur's gate and it was super-boring because the DM had no idea what to do on that side of the screen.
I can only say that those were the darkest times in my gaming career.

That's not That Guy...that's pointing out the obvious.

We were having a lot of fun one time playing DH until, for no reason, I tried to shoot a really important NPC that was sick and bedridden and had fallen into nihilism (logic being "if you are not going to do anything in your life I might as well take you out of your misery")

The result in the game is irrelevant, it completely killed the mood of the session because I acted impulsively like an idiot.

>>40386212
Why would I lie?

>>40386312

I personally do not mind, but I suppose others do

>>40386264
That's not really That Guy behaviour. One of our players does that sort of thing, I've got this little notepad and I have to stop him stealing it at least once per session.

>>40386312
Why would you?

>>40385761
pretty sure you've got that backward.
The Unseen were ripoffs of Macross designs. FASA did the ripoff, not some third party

There was one entire session in which I had no choice but to be "that guy" for half of it

>Playing DH game
>Due to high corruption and other reasons I agreed with the GM that my character would suffer from loosing consciousness at times and my personality would shift into a complete evil bitch that doesn't give a fuck about his companions

>Disarm another player who had managed to sneak a weapon that he was going to use to shoot the BBEG

That's not a a big deal, anon. I know how you feel, though, I constantly have to be fiddling with things in order to feel comfortable. Years and years of vidya, LEGOs, and drawfagging is probably the reason why, sort of like how smokers tend to have oral fixations. When I have dice, I just tend to roll them around for no real reason, which has a nice side-effect of making all of my players constantly nervous.

This was barely my 3rd Pen and Paper game every played
What caused me to go down the road of That Guy:
>Play with DM introduced by my friend
>Do it over AIM (Skype/Roll20 didn't exist back then)
>New character made in an already existing party
>Character got tricked by DM into rummaging through the current party's wagon of stuff
>My character gets beat up and turned into the party's minion for stealing from them
>Fast forward later in the session where my character gets killed
>Slowly bleeding to death, no one bothered to even stabilize me
>Never got killed before; DM made it seem like I played a weak ass character, and felt no sympathy. Felt bullied so I gave up playing nice.
The moment I temporarily became a shade of That Guy:
>Make Druid with bear companion because DM is horrible with making balanced encounters and I wanted to survive
>Finally decent enough to keep up with party despite my inexperience
>Anytime the DM thought I may steal the spotlight, he makes up ways to screw me over, including a troll crashing a door right on top of me so his friends get the glory
>Subtly got back at DM by asking for non-core spells from the Spell Compendium; saved them for BBEG
>At BBEG fight, blew all spells to buff Druid and Bear and threw all my Save-or-Sucks
>DM refused to let my character have the spotlight at all, kept DM Fiating bullshit such as an Eye Washing Station spell and enter Gaseous Form when clearly grappled. He was a Vampire Wizard.
>DM caused himself to be backed into a corner where eventually no one in the party had any feasible way to stop the BBEG. Cue DMPC Cleric use cutscene powers to one-shot the Vampire with a Cure Medium Wounds neck hold
It was that day I found out that DM was one of the worst DMs ever(but I was in heavy denial since he gave quantity over quality), and also realizing that the only way I become a That Guy is if I'm playing with a That DM.

I recently was "That Guy"

Look at this faggot.

Don't think this image is from Exo Squad - the jump troops had way more armor after the first 5 episodes than this guy, and none of the Venitian guerillas had as much as the image.

Also, watch Exo Squad. holy shit that cartoon was so ahead of its time. Politics, naval, covert, and ground warfare, diplomacy, World War II analogies, named characters dying in battle (RIP Alec Deleon), racism, compelling villains, heroes on both sides of the war. It doesn't get much better than this show.

When I made a Rorschach expy it taught me that characters like Rorschach could only be considered good in the most cynical of worlds. I was pretty much the parties millstone. The worst cases of it were:
>Having a subordinate tortured to death because said subordinate objected to prisoners being tortured to death even though they already gave up information.
>Killing a guy carrying a demon summoning kill switch when the rest of the party wanted to wait for an opportunity to kill him without summoning a powerful demon.
>Committing genocide against an entire tribe through poisoning their water supplies because said tribe wanted to remain neutral in the conflict because they saw no reason to fight against either side since both just pass through their lands as quickly as possible.

>>40397153
...I'm pretty sure Rorschach never killed the ambivalent. He certainly didn't respect them, but he didn't murder them.

>>40397153
honestly that sounds more chaotic/stupid than lawful stupid. rorschach took no excuses for wrongdoing, but the demon thing is just impractical and the guy is punished either way, the genocide thing is over the top, tortured cause you don't like torture is kinda iffy?

>One day, pass him a note saying that he has an odd purple swelling on his character's dick.
>It kind of hurts when he pisses.

My Rorschach expy had a heavy dose of Richard Rahl thrown in as well. The infamous designated hero who viewed virtue as weakness, imposed economic and military sanctions against countries who didn't join his empire, was sexually attracted to his girlfriends general ripper behavior and had legendarily poor impulse control.
In the case of torturing a guy who objected to torture, my characters 'reasoning' was "Only the wicked object to the punishing of the wicked". Also, objectivism defines morality as "the degree to which one's actions ensure one's continued survival" so my character considered things like mercy, generosity, compassion, empathy or honor to be weaknesses.

Exactly what kind of story are you expecting? Anon's story seemed pretty explanatory...

Question, am I a that guy if I want to point out to the GM that he made a mistake that might have been on purpose?

I'm playing in a Rogue Trader game, and I lost a total of 9 toughness over 2 critical damages as well as burned a fate point. The problem is, that on the first critical damage (rending body 8), the options were to lose toughness OR die, and he made me take both since I burned a fate point to avoid death. The next time (impact body 7) I was supposed to take fatigue damage and instead took permanent toughness damage, as well as another player (impact body 8) took permanent toughness damage.

The thing that bothers me is that we're playing a rogue trader game, but he's using the only war rulebook for a lot of things, such as critical damage and talent. Are the rules the same, or are they different. If they are different, why not use the rogue trader rules since we are player a rogue trader game with rogue trader characters?

"You just need to have faith that we'll be allowed in!"
'I did have faith we'd be allowed in...'
"No, no no! You were believing all wrong! Look, God told me we should just walk right up."
'I said we should walk right up...'
"CEASE YOUR COMPLAINING, AND FOLLOW THE EDICTS OF MY LORD! He knows better than any mere mortal, so don't question him!"
'...Alright.'
"BLASHPHEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

If I know the DM isn't the type to keep track of every player's statistics constantly, i'll make small fudges with my character.

1 more spell known than I should have, i'll "forget" to mark a spell slot as used for the day, that sort of thing.

What you should do is get a ballpoint pen that does almost no sound when clicking. So whenever you get distracted just click away. Helped me.

Or get one of these small ballon thingys that are filled with sand. Works just as well.

>>40399237
I think they meant more stories of that character stealing the spotlight

>>40400525
>almost no sound when clicking

Nigga the click is half the point, you gotta know that you're actually clicking the pen and not just smashing your thumb against an inanimate object

Whenever I run a quest or participate in one, I pretty much become That Guy/That DM.

that's priceless

you made me want to create a paladin which nobody knows if he really communicates with his God or he suffers from schizophrenia

I like that advice. That is very sound advice.

Nah, that shit is usually funny. Unless they later try to push the genderbent character into uncomfortable situations.

I think I'm about to become That Guy and it's not even intentional.

>DM is running Princes of the Apocalypse
>want to be a Dwarven luchador
>can't stop myself from playing a refined and intelligent Fighter as is my norm though
>decide on the backstory of a Dwarf of a noble clan who ditched his responsibilities to pursue his true love (masked wrestling) and everything went to shit while he was away
>is now adventuring around hoping to find something in Dwarven ruins that can help restore his clan's honor, but obviously never tells anyone this because he's always in his luchador persona
>character's bizarre plans always work handily and to the group's benefit
>constantly resolve several quests at once with insane strokes of luck
>fortuitously hit sidequests in just the right order to uncover clues to the location of Dwarf King's tomb and how to acquire the keys, often without anyone else in the party understanding
>character looks like he just magically knows where every secret compartment is related to this stuff or the combination to ancient Dwarf locks
>wind up with a fucking +3 shapeshifting weapon that doubles as a key to the ancient Dwarf kingdom and marks its wielder as the true King
>just hit level 7
Like, I'm not planning this shit, but the stars have aligned to make this character seem far more impressive, important, and intelligent than he is. And there's also all these fucking Dwarven golems we keep running into, including one under our keep (which we stole from a cult and renovated, in lieu of the shitty wagonyard the adventure normally gives you for an HQ) and two in the tomb we're currently at, that seem to be keyed by the weapon. I fully expect to begin the next session by activating two giant stone juggernauts and marching them around the countryside while everyone else diddles their butthole.

Thank god for the other Fighter having the world's best rolls and being a nigh-unkillable demigod as a result. I'd look way shittier if they weren't so OP.

My groups fighter is bragging about being 1 level higher than the rest of us via sucking of DM cock
Bitch pissed me off so much that last combat I 'accidentally' cast fireball twice (sorcery points) and 1-shot her, then proceeded to kill everything she was fighting

WELL GOOD, Glad you guys agree. The players who are now rolling up new murderhobos are not so happy.

>>40394242
The Goddess of death is like an old witch/hag, totally nasty. And I'm a beautiful elf maiden. Gotta keep my virginity so I can take Leadership and get a unicorn in a few levels.

So There was no sex between myself and the death goddess.

I like the part where you cause people pain.

>>40386933
That Guy would roll such a character in the first place, despite it being an obvious pain in the ass for everyone else. Saving grace is that anon recognized it as a terrible idea afterwards and presumably doens't roll those sorts of characters anymore.

>>40406903
underrated post.

I'm so sorry.

Your GM loves your character, and likes you as a player.

>>40408824
>roll
did you even read it? I said that I was forced to play that character because of high corruption

>>40385247
i made an op as fuck psionic warrior and basically decided to bend the rule so fucking hard it didnt even resemble the base class because I hated my dm. Oneshoted his stupid dmpc's and boss but he fiated it that they got away and told me to quit it. So i left and told him to fellate his former characters to someone else. I just wanted to piss him off because this guy was so bad at even roleplay let alone story building, character building, and dm'ing in general it was insane. Im glad he doesnt dm anymore because otherwise i would feed his players the most broken jank possible behind the scenes to ruin his games constantly.

>>40409834
That was his point. You weren't that guy because you didn't make a character like that on purpose.

>>40398397

That's pretty sweet actually,you conned a guy into getting more than you had before.

You don't lose you're virginity when two girls have sex, anon. Don't you read yuri?

>>40409915
Iunno, fiating away a broken ass character played by an malicious player seems pretty legit. You made cheese, the GM used rule 0 to invalidate said cheese for everyone else's benefit and tried to talk it out with you.

But no, you're That Guy. It was all about you imagining yourself to be some sort of manipulative genius instead of him just not wanting to GM for some prick. He probably does still GM, it's just that no one invites you.

>>40411282
he actually doesnt
but its because his work schedule is rediculous

>short campaign
>DM says it's open to all alignments
>basically play as Bonhart
>defeat a dark elf miniboss
>he's male so I figure I can go for a reference without getting weird
>take him alive to sell to the slavers in town
>they don't want him because he's too dangerous
>long story short I free the dark elf and he kills the slavers and tries to escape
>capture him again and say "no matter what [mini-boss], you will always be my bitch."

That's when everything turned up to 11.

You're still a twat worse than the DM.
You weren't screwing over the DM, you were fucking over the other players who came to have a good time.
