OP, your group is That Guy. It's tempting to always assume that the neckbeard is That Guy, but come on. Read your own post.

Fat Guy's Offenses
>Fat
>Coughs
>Homebrew race
>ASKS to start 3 levels ahead

None of this actually hurts the other players. Homebrew race? A bit weird, that's it. Levels ahead? Okay its entitled and obnoxious, but what is it to you?

Group's offenses
>Hate some guy simply because he's fat and sickly
>Murder him for no in-game reason
>Get offended when the dude is upset
>Make fun of him on the internet
Honestly... What did he deserve to earn this? His actions were decidedly benign, whereas the group's were actively attempting to ruin his fun and humiliate him. Why? Because he's fat, sickly, and socially awkward.

Are you guys in highschool or something?

>party thinks it's odd because my character is hardly doing damage or controlling the battlefield.

>other players are now just going through the motions of combat

The DM later said that he was still a little salty after I killed his character a long time ago.
I remembered the game and it was back in fucking high school.
In a oneshot it should be expected to lose a character. I am not mad about this however, I was just a little disappointed.

Anybody else get singled out by a DM?

Does anyone else know virtualoptim? He's our boards That Guy, filtering him was such a good call.

How hasn't he been banned for namefagging yet?

Well it does sound like his homebrew race was broken and also fetish filled, and asking to start three levels ahead is already ridiculous. They also took an hour more to start, so there was probably an argument.

Although I can't help but notice that most of the THAT GUY stories are "there was this fat guy".

Don't forget that they always wear a T-shirt that invites ridicule and there's usually a creepy sexual element somewhere too.

Yep. I believe they'd be that petty. They're attention-seeking outliers already just by tripfagging in the first place, so it's much less of a stretch than you're implying.

Hey, I've gone to PFS and seen balding overweight 20-somethings with fedoras and My Little Pony tee shirts under unbuttoned screen printed button ups, who don't know the rules to the game but try minmaxing, and keep their character sheets on their laptop with suspicious stains on the back of it.

Well that's just a blatant lie. Most 5e generals have to start with a reminder to ignore virt in particular, or else he'll just shit up the thread with literal "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!!!"
I can also tell that you've never been in a Dungeon World thread. Did you know that virtualoptim actually made a youtube video of all the reasons that people should stop liking Dungeon World because he doesn't like it?

>Small bit of backstory
Me and this guy were in a previous game where he was lawful good paladin-tier moralist while saying he was neutral while I was your typical evil gnome, hi-jinks and all. Things were a bit tense.
>What happened in our new campaign
DM basically gives us four different ways to get out of a city that's being plagued by demon spawn and under a lock-down because of an actual plague. There's two gang routes, a cloak and dagger route, and the help-a-noble route. Most of the party decides to look into the sewer gang route. I do the dew. Help with combating some monsters in the tunnel for gangsters. Chores for the prospect of getting out of town. It's taking a while. I had taken some plot-hooks earlier and know about the cloak route along with our ranger, so after they say they're going to an inn, we say we're off to talk with the guy. We get the quest, helping collect taxes in the form of product, which was frowned upon in this world for some reason, so that the organisation run by the guy could strike a profit outside of the city, because some people were too poor to pay on their own. Then, out of God damn nowhere, paladin-bro decides that he'll decide to take the noble route and collect taxes from everywhere, at late dusk, and to make the noble come along. His character was literally in bed. He had said, in character, that he wouldn't do the noble route in a million years. Me and the ranger managed to out think him, but it added an extra two fucking hours to the simplest task imaginable. Afterwards he said it was just to fuck with me. Fuck that guy.

>>Jane refuses to use the Morality system, but voluntariy inflicts the system on his character because he wants to be hyperbolicly emotionally tortured and edgy. Without GM approval or permission. This ends up making a supposedly 29 year old soldier character act like a spoiled 14 year old.

Not very often, although he got knocked unconscious early on in the current campaign and acts like his character "saw the light". That'd be fine if all that "I saw the face of death, and he told me 'fuck you'" (actual quote, by the way) was in character, but nope, purely OOC.

But don't get me wrong, he's actually a nice person. I'm gonna talk to him about this stuff once I can get hold of him.

Jane's player always plays the emotionally tortured type character. He's also kinda dumb. Combine these together, and he always makes these "off" characters:

>>The Rage-Fueled Jedi in a group of good Jedi.
>>The loyal Imperial Tie-Fighter engineer in the middle of a group of anti-Imperial Outer Rim Smugglers.
>>The Drow priestess in a surface ocean Pirates game.

He wants drama and RPing, but always wants to be the extremely different than everyone. Its both frustrating and implies a sad kind of psychology.

Plus, surprise surprise, he's a really bad communicator, who for some reason thinks he has the skills to talk is way around needing skill checks, when he can barely hold eye contact with average people.

>It's bound to be heavily guarded.
>In fact, they reason, it's likely to be guarded by something too strong to be directly fought by the time they've weakened themselves fighting the outer guards.

>At this point, they mull over their next move, send the rogue ahead to do some scouting.
>He comes back with some reports of the patrols.
>Couldn't directly approach the chamber with their prize without a too high risk of being spotted.
>Brief huddle.
>Party leader takes up a big hammer, starts ringing the alarm bell that the bugbears were trying to get to.
>Hightail it out of the room they were in, smash a patrol group, and wait for everyone to converge on the room they were in.
>The bugbears, not being idiots, do not do this.
>Instead, they're now awake, alert, and starting to send their bits of scrying spells.
>Not long after, they're spotted, and half the damn clan turns out to meet them, and we get a TPK.
>Party blames the rogue because "someone must have noticed you and you didn't realize."

>>40786973
Because he probably sucks dick for a living and wants to go back to doing what he loves.

>>40788244
Oh man, it would have been a learning moment for the player to have get killed that way, because he doesn't get it. (Of course that may make him a that gm)

I played a edge lord as a cleric as my first character ever, war vet and all, turns out I wasn't having fun, and I made one of my favorite characters, a half orc barbarian, giod times were had.

>Have to loan her a phone charger during game so she can constantly text her asshole bf, otherwise he comes over to the FLGS and disrupts the game

>won't get kicked out of the one game because she's friends with the GM and the GM is a softie

>>40788378
The GM seems like a dick in this scenario. Not only are bugbears (creatures that aren't exactly lauded for their intelligence) so smart and prepared that they have scrying spells, but they also explicitly do not do something perfectly rational to do (converging or at least investigating a point of commotion in an area that they're guarding) seemingly ONLY because the PCs are expecting that thing to happen. Then, once the players are spotted, that whole line of "why would we waste a bunch of guards converging on one point" goes out the window and half the clan shows up.
I may just be reading too much into it, but it feels like the GM has it out for the players in this scenario.

>>40788475


Like >>40788558

implied, in system, you don't get a passive save just because someone's trying to scry you. You'd need special (and bulky, generally non-carryable) equipment to try to pick up on something like that.


Of course, if they hadn't rung the alarm bell, there wouldn't have been any cause to scry in the first place........

Because bugbears are not stupid. And they're defending a fortification they've had for a couple of years besides. You're not going to get the entire clan to turn out just because someone rang a noise. Instead, a double patrol investigated, (which the players didn't see because they'd already have left) and reported a bunch of dead guys but no intruders.


Then, when they reported back, that's when the scries started spinning out. And for people who live by raiding, having magical means of detection are pretty important.

Half the clan converges once they have a solid hit and know who and what they're going after, especially knowing that this group apparently took out the guards fast enough to keep them from sounding the alarm, since none of the bodies were close to the bell.

>>40788747
Or you know, the dm couldn't be a vindictive little bitch and play bug bears like bug bears.
I'd expect this shit from creatures like hobgoblins (assuming it's 5th ed, 4th ed, pathfinder, or and d20 game that isn't LOTFP.) But creatures as dumb as bug bears.
also, if it is assumed d20 game, you get save vs scrying regardless of any special equipment.

In short, bad dm is bad.

>>40788875

If you're playing DnD (Which for the record, we weren't) bugbears have equal intelligence to humans. They're not going to just charge in like idiots, any more or less than if this was a fort with human brigands.

>>40787507
>>40787588
People have issues. A lot of issues. They come out when you get more heavily involved with people.

My current roleplaying group is fantastic for energy and interest and doing things in game to make it really interesting, but every second week now I do damage control because the emotions of highly strung nerds are incredibly fragile things.

Interesting! ( I'm >>40788475 )
Perhaps it is just my tastes, I just feel that sometimes the idea of "They are intelegent, of course they would X" is a bit bitter in my mouth, not neccissary bad by any means, but it must be used wisely- Steam power was known about sense the greek, including for it's rotational power, but it was not put to locomotion until a few centuries ago. It's not a matter of them not being intelegent, it's a matter of "Would they be organized and have explored this before".

Otherwise I suggested saves or perception is because at the same time that I agree that the plan was foolhearty, it also feels a bit cruel that they wouldn't get a second chance. While it may be obvious to you from an OOC standpoint, remember that not everything is immediately easy to identify from the other side- some people need HUGE hints.

Just my shitty opinions though.

>>40788911
Well if you told us the system you played it would change my idea of what I said.
and even being as smart as a normal human doesn't mean smart enough to cast a spell lime scry, which again, the system can say otherwise.

Traditionally they aren't all that smart, either. Multiple scrying spells is not a strategy that should be in the book of a bunch of average (most likely lower than average) intelligence monsters. Doesn't it seem a bit much?
>You're not going to get the entire clan to turn out just because someone rang a noise.
But you'll get half the clan for four people? Again, it's a bit much, don't you think? You're cherry picking when and why the bugbears get to act smart in order to give them a clear advantage. You say that they've guarded this place for a while now, but they intentionally weaken themselves to half strength over four people, without a second thought as to the fact that maybe it's a distraction? Also no thought given to the fact that nondetection spells are usually a thing? It just seems tailored to go against the players.

>>40789148
All you can do is believe in the wise words of Hammer;

"Stop- Collaborate and listen."
Take a moment, ask the rest of the party how they feel of it, and if it ends up everyone feels that way, then consider retraining specialties if the GM allows that or offer to retire as an NPC if you can. If they do like it, check out the deal with the guy, and if possible patch it up- no purpose in bad blood over a fun game.

It's called Dragonquest. I don't often mention it because practically nobody's heard of it. (And tbh, it's classless, and I use terms like "rogue" more because I'm translating into DnD than it's an actual rogue running around)

>>40789158


You'll get half the clan for intruders in their perimeter, who are confirmed in a given location and who have already demonstrated some pretty serious lethality. Especially when you've been throwing around scries and you're pretty certain you don't have other intruders skulking about.

How frequent are That Guy sightings?
IIRC you people used to say bad groups where far too common.
I have never played any tabletop roleplaying game before and I'm currently gathering courage to post in a game finder thread.
But every time I see this kind of thread I shudder to think of what I'm in for ,or what evils I'll be unintentionally releasing uppon a group. assuming I get to play ofc.

>>40789451
>is it any worse than
No not really, moderate trains of thought are always welcome however. A request for the cease of an extreme is not the demand for the opposite extreme.


Otherwise I do agree, personally, with your use of scry, if such a group had such things. Perhaps though with such a large number of attackers, unless the point was lethality, you could have instead had them capture with clubs and nets, and then given them the gratuitious arena plotline that requires short shorts and crotch armor and eventually a player versus player fight that they would either fight remorsefully or refuse and attempt to stand against waves of rolling enemies trying to kill them sense they didn't fight, ending in a glorious death or escape, and a new set of enemies- the Bugbear of Fort X, bearing down on their heels.

I don't doubt that your people had a fun time, I think it's great that they did, I'm simply stating how I feel. Don't be bothered by my opinions- you and me put on our pants the same way in the mornings, one tentacled limb at a time.

Sounds like you were playing at a different level than that GM was used to as a player and probably as a GM as well. He was probably expecting to just roll all over some amateur encounter building but instead you went kill mode.

Just curious how did the other players do in that encounter? Any other deaths? Did they defeat it in the end?

As someone who plays a lot of chivalry

Cheers

I once played an all guardsman party with helpful_comrade.

Sometimes I think I have a that group.

>DM loves high power levels especially with NPCs. Every NPC is hot chick, nametag free moon or crazy old man.

>player one. Bard mindset, if it breathes I can fuck it. Nine out of ten games the party face. Runs /d/ type odd sex all the time.

>player three. Always super fop noble. Always. This campaign he is French. Wishes he was player one and always asks how hot is she. Takes ten minutes to finish a sentence and hissies if we ignore him for any part. Always backstabs party. Always.

>player three. Comes to game high/drunk. Steps outside every hour or so to smoke a cig. Doesn't bother to learn system just states crazy plan and asks DM what he needs to roll for it. The worst at plans. Keeps getting stuck as party leader.

Yet its still the best group I've played with in years. The serious groups just end up grimderp.

>dammit captcha cakes arrent cookies.

>>40790250
The other players were faring fine- the hellhounds were a joke, the damage was a joke. I just forced them to have to not use the usual tactic of rush in head first and flank, and what I thought was well communicated in the form of "You probably should reevaluate the tactical choices and try something new" ended up with the Gm quitting. The rest were alright until he ripped his sheet up, at which point the game simply didn't continue.

Yeah, it was very likely that I was playing at a different spectrum of ideas, I thought what I did was okay. After half a year they let me run something quick for the forever Gm to enjoy, in a new campaign (because that one stopped because GM refused to continue after that event) and beyond a few bumps (Like "That halfling shouldn't be able to use that feat against my tiger!") it blew over fairly well, I mean, beyond me making a really stupid necromancer joke about cheese. Me and him get along fine,

>>40790250
>>40790016
Personally I'd appreciate an enemy who uses their full arsenal against the players. All the time.

I mean what the fuck are all those rules for? The only reason I'd think not to use the full tactical arsenal an enemy has is because it'd take too much time for the mookiest of mooks. It is so much more satisfying when your character actually has a chance of death.

That said a lot of GM's think they know how to play the system better than the players and so get cocky.

>>40790369
The main thing is that you are having fun.

>>40790602
I could agree personally, I mean, they are supposed to be an imposing enemy, not a prefigure- their full being is being channeled in battle, and to die simply holding back instead of trying to fight for their life, is simply disrespect of character. But then, I also discovered that it works both ways- Player doesn't want to feel disenfranchised and worthless and just be punked because I made an enemy who can fuck them right back.

>>40790602
I would love to throw everything I had at my players strategy-wise. I'm just waiting for them to start using strategy of their own instead of just attacking whoever is nearest to them. It's only been about 3 years since we started, surely they'll get better. Any time now.

>>40790720
>But then, I also discovered that it works both ways- Player doesn't want to feel disenfranchised and worthless and just be punked because I made an enemy who can fuck them right back.

Yeah, it is a fine line, and of course the majority of people just want a simple power trip i.e. look at all the doods I killed. Most people won't react well to their mistakes being exposed by a competent opponent because they won't be able to react as a group, let alone as individuals. The best game experiences I've had were when there were no punches pulled and through luck/skill/gambling my character came through.

honestly, I can't really blame him?

If he's been consistently the gm, he's had to plan out everything, and if the game can't continue if people leave for whatever reason and it delays to another day of the week, that could be impacting his own personal plans and it shows little respect to the gm when the day for a game can't be set aside regularly.

My group has the rule of 'if you can't make it to a game, your character is kinda just there but doesn't do shit if they can't be explained away, or else they aren't there.' because when people keep cancelling because of plans, it IS really inconvenient.

>>40791577
>honestly, I can't really blame him?
Not that guy, but I certainly would blame him. Real world obligations - Exams, as that anon stated - are more important than a hobby.

If the DM couldn't recognize that fact, the fault lies with him.

Honestly, if he doesn't care about the players having exams and doesn't care about his own, then it sounds like the DM has an unhealthy mindset with the game. He's neglecting his responsibilities for the sake of his hobby.

>>40788244
But who the fuck was Bob?

>>40791675
No, I'll give you exams or personal emergencies. But if this is as often as a problem that it seems to be stated it can't constantly be exams and its more than one person doing it. as for as that guy posted, only the most recent one had been exams.

There's also the fact that when you have personal obligations that are consistent enough to constantly impact the game you should have the decency to excuse yourself from the campaign than to make everyone constantly delay the game days.

And this is from my personal opinion, but I feel that being in a group is a social obligation you've committed yourself to, so unless its an important obligation (exam, work, sick, family emergency) you should set that time away and not schedule other things on that time and if your obligations will keep you away for an extended or consistent period of time, you should inform the group to continue without you.

And this is personal opinion here: if you're so strapped for time that you can't schedule your personal errands or a date at any other time, then you need to consider what your priorities are and inform the group because constantly ditching game night to go on a date means that you've either got no time to game or that you consider other things as higher priority than the game and bow out instead of inconveniencing everyone else.

My players are all great but one really enjoys curses, flaws, madness general bad things to happen to his char. Its interesting but can negatively impact group when his char acts contrary to group opinion. Not really That Guy though

>>40789611
Everyone has to start somewhere. Learning about the That Guys is kind of an interesting experience in and of itself if you know how yo deal with other human beings.

It's when you end up staying in groups who tolerate that guys for a long time that it truly becomes an awful and frustrating experience.

Either way, you wont find the good players unless you risk potentially meeting the bad ones.

going to be honest, I read that at first as you were crying afterwards. And why didn't you get with the hipster qt?

>>40786896
Trips have never bothered me, I don't even notice if people have names above their posts or not.

But I will never understand the disruption people need to cause to bitch and cry about trips. Honestly the disruption is being caused primarily by one side.

>>40794100
I don't notice trips most of the time too, but for other they may be quite noticeable by standing out from the uniform anons.

Similarly, when it's an anon being a faggot, it's dispersed into the nameless crowd (although sometimes still recognised due to constant similarities, it's rarer). When it's a trip or name, all that gets concentrated and remembered, attached to that trip. Thus, the strongest reaction.

>>40794100

Because some of them are fucking awful and all they do is shit up every thread they grace with their shitposting and shit opinions.

You should have let her. It might have been one of the most faithful depictions of the race.

>>40787412
Your post is shit.

>>40791675
This is bullshit.

It's not too much to ask people to show up once a while for a collaborative effort. If you play sports, join a frat, or even play fucking video games with friends, this is all expected. Have you heard people who play sports say they will miss half of the team's games because of other shit? No, they plan around it. Shit, I play EUIV with friends every week, and most people manage to show up every single time. These are people with jobs, exams, and all that other real life shit.

But in my RPG group, I've had players flake out because they wanted to see a football match. Or, the most recent one, where a player decided to go to the mall with his mom at the fucking moment the game started. All because of the attitude of "it's just some hobby".

No, you make an agreement with a bunch of other people, and if you don't keep yourself to it, you're letting everyone down. We've got people in our group who also have jobs, girlfriends, exams, and other serious shit, and they set aside a significant part of their weekend to do this stuff. That's why people who flake out are the worst: They take other people's time and effort for granted.

And it doubly sucks if you're DMing, or maybe just even really invested in the campaign, because other players randomly dropping out is hell for internal consistency. "Hey, remember when we beat that bandit chief and found the golden necklace? No? Oh, right, you weren't there".

The thing is, people are creatures of habit. So if you once assume the notion of "it's just a hobby" and don't make a big deal out of people not showing up, they'll assume the same goes every single time. Those examples I mentioned? It's peer pressure that keeps people in. Flake out on sports games, and you WILL become the punching bag of your team. People will call you to ask where you are, people will remind you of your bullshit, people will remind you of the importance of being there.

If you are socially inept usually its best not to try to shoehorn your character in as the party leader.

Either way asking to be 3 levels ahead/homebrew clearly shows what kind of person this was.

What does having a gimped character have to do with needing x XP?

Was he going to use the xp to craft some broken magic item that turns him into a Dr Jekyll and Mr Jackass type character?

When we play, xp is so arbitrary. I usually just let the players level up every few sessions or after a particularly dense challenge.

I was tempted, but it would have been OOC for my character up to the point it was him or us. My undertaker was conceptually a solid team player, both by profession (if you hunt zombies for a living and can't play with others, you usually get, y'know, dead) and because I wanted the game to be good and last a while.

But with that snafu, yeah, someone had to die. We decided it was to be the guy who got us into it, instead of everyone.

>>40786713
Had my merc fighter turned into a little STR 8 girl for no other reason than the GM goes full lolrandumb when he drinks.

After they killed the boss, I gave an epilogue about what happened to them, with the fighter cleric going back to the northern continent, killing everything in his path, to rule his people. The Halfling assassin eventually got shanked by one of the assassins drawn to his evil sword and the elf ranger fucked off into the woods with wolves, hundreds of years later wandering the wastelands left after the fighter cleric decided to go south again with her undead dire wolf, killing anyone she saw.

Kek, the people arguing with you in that thread sound like 30 year old virginal manchildren. It's okay to play an attractive character. If some greaseneck thinks their muscular barbarian or rugged ranger isn't attractive, show them some gay porn.

>Be new to RP's
>Get invited by friends to try out an RP

Three weeks later

2 days later

>I get a text saying my sheets all sorted
>I'm the pilot, explains he and dm gave me perks to aid in areas like perception and coordination for flying, good with bartering high int and speed, mid strength low health and constitution.
>next time I go to play he drops the bomb
>for shits and giggles him and DM decided to make my character Female and australian, DM says I have to put on an aussie accent (theres also an aussie in our group playing the engineer) and the DM would reward me if I could keep the accent up.

Fast forward about 5 games

>My character aptly named Shiela Chazwooza has been captured by space pirates.
>Pirate captain is interrogating me (getting a little hands on touchy feely)
>All in good fun but dm talks to me ooc since i've been hitting low rolls for the entire interrogation.
>Tells me that this could end up killing my character unless I can get a high roll or come up with a way to escape.
>next roll hits a 5, everyone is trying to find a way we can save my character.
>slap my hand on the table and begin laughing tell them I had one thing I thought of but didn't want to use
>everyone looks at me and dm says go on.

Nigga, none of those were practical.

There's being a free spirit and then there's walking through the desert without wearing any protection at all.

Past anons were tame with their criticism.

This was a mistake, knee jerk-anon was right

>>40786449
> physically assault someone for playing by the rules and winning
I hate pay to play, too, but you're a cunt.

>>40787250

He does have a point though.

Why even bother having "advancements" when your primary stat reaches +3?

>>40799934
Women generally like playing attractive characters. The way to get them to tone it down isn't going for the confrontation, it's the same way you get your wife to stop nagging you.

Ignore it.

>ends up trying to get her animal companion to rape one of the other players
>almost succeeds, he ended up getting free and killing it
>swears revenge on him

She ended up getting killed some time later by a paladin
She also got the player who she tried to rape with her wolf to draw her a picture of her character smiling like a pervert while touching his bird skull nipper covers... she framed it and its now hanging above her bed

>>40800133
What cracks me up about this is how you think that she doesn't think that's attractive.

>>40799850
>>40800073
>>40800111

Sounds like a fun game. Great roleplaying. What's with Firefly and female australians?

Another quality storytime ending with trips.

Got anymore?

>>40799837

I think some people in the thread were way to hostile, but I wasn't being fair to the group and acted immature too.

>>40799934

I just wanted to rp a sexy character...

>>40800411
>I just wanted to rp a sexy character...
Almost every girl does at least occassionally, because it's a female power fantasy. It has nothing to do with being a "slut" and everything to do with wanting to be in charge of something you consciously or unconsciously consider 'badass'. Skinny, pimply nerds play Ahnulds and other male power fantasies for the same reason. Women get their badass fix by being sexy.

The only thing you did wrong from that account alone is bring politics into the game and overdo it a bit. The guy equivalent is that one story about an orc who solves everything by intimidation, including carpentry. Doesn't mean you can't play something 'sexy', but you might find going for elegance comes across better than being vulgar.

I mean, we'd literally just laugh and be like "She has her tits out? Really. Hahahaha" and then ignore it. But some folks have a lot thinner skin...

>>40800411
>>40800891

You can be attractive without being completely naked.

This isn't even a gender issue.

If a male character had been running through the Forrest without any clothes I'd have made him roll to see if he had poison ivy on his dong.

If Conan had been trekking through the desert without being sun smart, I would have made him suffer heat stroke.

There is nothing wrong with playing attractive characters, just show some common sense about it.

>getting upset at some one saying something is gay

Oh no! The horrors!

>>40801021
I agree that it's not a gender issue. I'm just explaining "most people don't want to play fugly shit" in terms she's already using and has brought up. That usually gets the point across better. That said, I like emphasising practicality over 80s album covers in my games as well, so I'd handle Conan Clone Five Million about the same as you, anon.

>>40788244
Sounds like an actual autistic kid who was told by someone that doing these edgy characters is cool.

>>40791872
>>40795314
This. Too many people are trying way too hard to be cool and normal by acting like RPGs are the least important thing in the world.

>>40800891

I tried explaining that to people who were hating on SoB power armor design, but I don't think anybody took me seriously. if I'm rping int pretend fantasyland then I might as well be sexy while doing it.

>>40801021

I know. I just didn't want my characters to just have high charisma or just have note on character sheet that they're attractive. I wanted to emphasize it somehow.

>>40787039
Hey hey hey! Balding is not a neckbeard sign. Been balding since I was 15 before I got fat and started to be interested in fantasy stuff

>>40801748

But not doing anything about it is.

Just shave your head, mate. Look after your appearance. If you don't respect yourself, nobody else is going to.

>be me
>roll up a character I like but with some natural flaws for his race
>roll up to the party announce who I am and that I suffer from racial condition
>party laughs me out of the house

>>40801888
Well sure. That I can agree on. Been shaving this head for years now.

>>40801031
No, anon, you are the idiot.
Unless perhaps you are from a country where "shit" is not considered cussing.

It's inappropriate to openly cuss at a game being run in a public gaming store.
Especially so if you are playing with those you just met.
Using gay derogatorily is inappropriate too, just not as universally as cussing.

>>40786594
>implying not doing max damage on a crit isn't some gay shit
>thinks 4rry is an insult and 4rries have a specific attitude
God I wish I could block you on this piece of shit tablet

>>40802238 why was the first thought that came to me - I'm Jamal and I can't swim.

>>40802279
God I'm glad my FLGS doesn't give a shit about something as pathetic as some guy "saying a baaaad word omg!".
Don't say it in front of the Pokemon/Yugioh kids and nobody cares. This FLGS is based.

>>40802356

It's not about whether the place gives a shit, it's about common courtesy, you whiny baby.

>>40802356
>shit talk my FLGS owner about his ideas to implement MTG into the weekly rotation.
>tell him this is a bad idea that mtg players give a bad stigma to the store

Gay drama, not even once

Sometimes people can't handle that their micro sd doesn't compare to a 1Tb SSD.

Have tons of these stories about Dota but those are for d2g

>Unless perhaps you are from a country where "shit" is not considered cussing.

Possibly Australia but you're right that it is common courtesy.

>>40802356

Part of going outside is acting civilised, anon. Amongst friends is another thing entirely.

>>40802404

I don't play but I'd have to be blind to not see that MTG provides a steady income to most stores.

Do you not want yours to succeed?
