Where did it go wrong?
Or differently put: why do so many people here have a problem with it?
>>52615582
hurdur metagaming muh immersion grrr plot armor
>>52615582
Because people who spend hours poring over every sourcebook that they can find to pick the best broken options and little-used rules to create unstoppable overpowered characters don't want their "immersion" ruined.

Metroid style. I'm tempted to unleash X parasites on a Shadowrun party where Metroid genetics to eat X come with a crippling essence cost, just to fuck with the players.

Why does bottom up world building get no respect?
[citation needed]
What do you mean by that?
>>52611388
Because people who do it put a ton of effort into things most players will never question or wonder about, and possibly never even encounter. This is not true for all groups, but a group that cares about the world they play in is usually as satisfied with "rule of cool" or improvised answers as they are with well thought-out bottom-up designs. Whereas Murderhobo Inc. doesn't care, and never will, so the effort is wasted. I wouldn't go so far as to say it gets no respect, but it's largely a waste of time outside a very particular subset of playgroups.

Anyone here do freeform RP shit? I do, and I have to say it's one of the most masochistic hobbies you can get into (Aside from spending $3000+ on plastic crack) and I'll outline some of the reasons why.
>Finding good websites/forums based around freeform is ridiculously easy until you start looking for certain topics and good communities that also enjoy those topics
>Making a character in the hopes that someone will find the base idea interesting and approach you
>Or alternatively making a character and approaching someone only to get turned away because they're "out of your league"
>All of the fucking OP characters you can think of
>Seriously, everyone was playing some kind of god or deity or the avatar of one of those enormous pricks
>In one place I actually saw some kind of meta-fetish going on where a player was playing the avatar of a god - which was another player. What the fuck.
>These players all have no idea what a balance of power is so you end up having to make something OP as well so you don't get one-hit-KO'ed by the hordes of 'fitenaos'
>Who are all coincidentally edgy faggot half-demons.
>Then you have the people that literally only join the scene to erp, get their rocks off a few times and never post again.
>They'll PM you (usually in-character) with something retarded like *gropes* or *kisses ur neck* and you'll have to deal with them being massive fuckboys after you say you don't ERP
>Usually something in the vein of "Lol, stuck up bitch"
>Or they're a mixture of fuckboy and edgelord and PM you to ask if you want to fight
>And they'll launch into hypotheticals that would never happen. Oooof course they will.
>"My character would use his darkness magic on him after tricking him"
>When meanwhile your character is nowhere near as retarded as what this sorry excuse for a well-written character is trying to imply
And of course;
>godmodding, metagaming, powergaming
>badmins

An RP with no rules or numbers is just a sad and pathetic chatroom.
One summer, me, some friends and a few /tg/ soldiers deconstructed a free form roleplay. We had the exact opposite happen; our characters were fairly low power manly men (town guardsmen, boxing alchemist, half-demon without a tragic edgy back story, old wizard with a body that was falling apart from using magic too frequently, tactical operator, Victorian porcelain doll given life) and everyone else was either a vampire, a werewolf, a demon or a literal god.
Most roleplay consisted of us drinking in the bar, or apparently "insulting" characters, and when challenging them to fight being told we "weren't worth their time" and them promptly teleporting away.
It was pretty fun for the two months or so it lasted before we destabilized the region enough to force the " Demon King" to be destroyed in game and then ban't and then we left because that was our goal from the beginning.
Looking for stuff that would fit into Shadowrun. Especially SR Orcs and female orcs, because I'll need some NPC's/PC's of those.
