My barbarian got teamkilled because the wizard was doing something retarded. He then proceeded to get the party wiped by not helping in combat, running like a coward, and falling out of a window to die of fall damage and bleed out on the street.

That's not what pissed me off. What actually made me angry was that I didn't even get an apology or a "my bad" or something. No, the wizard insisted it was somehow my fault that he and he alone fucked everything up. I was, am, and forever will be mad about it.

When my friends got me to invest heavily in multiple Warhammer 40k armies through nostalgia and breaking out my old books.

Then I began to read the brb and codexes as I assembled and painted several armies. My anger and disgust grew until I eventually ebay'd 75% of the shit I bought.

That game is terrible, and my friends are assholes.

When I played a half a year long AdEva game where I never got to develop my character, was stripped of 99% of player agency, and the ending invalidated the party's actions.

Doesn't help that the system is absolute shit and completely fails to capture what makes Eva interesting.

Eva games don't tend to have that much player agency (at least for pilots), and that kind of carriers over from the TV series. Played straight it doesn't work well as a tabletop game. But tell me about this ending.

This is exactly what the emperor did to his sons and look how that turned out

>>44929736
>>44929101

Currently in a sort-of AdEva game, but we're all playing the support staff doing the espionage/detective intrigue related to the metaplot rather than running the pilots. During the angel fights we do get to provide support information/equipment/tactics in battle, but the fight itself is never the main focus.

>>44929826
That's pretty brutal. I can't tell you how many times I've cut my hand on my fucking metal tyranids. Every angle on those motherfuckers is like razor sharp.

"Oh anon, I'm gonna GM, really! I just need another week, ___ came up"

it's been over a year, man. things don't miraculously come up every single time our group is supposed to get together.

>>44929736
Well...
While we, the players, only found out most of this near the ending, the whole premise was built around the concept of a cycle. There's a God who plays a "game" of some sort, which was presented as a simple chessboard. Said game cannot be "solved" in any manner, and it must continue for all eternity. The God can shape the game in any kind of world they desire, even one devoid of strife and conflict, but eventually it has to be wiped clean and started anew. The GM never explained why the God has to do that beyond "that's a rule".

Now, one of the pilots was some kind of avatar of said God. Her entire backstory was a fabrication, and she just popped into existence at some point, but she was not aware of this. As a result, any attempts from her player to poke at her backstory were met with a wall.

Anyway, that was the context. Now, the ending. After defeating all the Demons and the designated MC acquiring the not-S2 engine, the party was pitted against an Angel trapped in an Eva. Said Angel used to be a pilot who "died" some time prior. (player had scheduling problems, decided to drop out) This was orchestrated by the commander in an attempt to attract God's wrath. Whether it's the same God playing the game, or another avatar thereof is unclear, but overall it seems to be the latter.

>>44930129
The Angel got wrecked, and God was mad. The next logical step is going to Hell, of course, with God giving chase. Hell was loosely based on the Divine Comedy interpretation of it.

I should stop here to note that aside from the godsend girl, all of the pilots were reincarnated souls of sinners, "dislodged" from their respective circles of Inferno by Second Impact. That was used by the GM as an excuse for all of the staff to treat them like shit, without telling them why. Not that the one innocent girl was treated any better.

Either way, they made their way through Hell, to the walls of Dis. The choice here was twofold. Open the gate, releasing souls of the sinners, which in turn would set them ablaze, and blast the approaching God with hellfire, or keep the gate closed, which would keep the souls confined, but intact. Punish or forgive. After some deliberation we settled on the latter, only to have God football tackle through the wall right afterwards.

At that point it was revealed that one of the Evas is literally Lucifer, and its pilot pretty much signed his death warrant in exchange for more power for the upcoming boss battle.

God got wrecked, and Satan-Eva had to be subdued forcibly, almost but not quite killing the pilot in the process. After that, the MC girl was told to literally consume Lucifer's body with her Eva. She did so, and... ascended to godhood.

cont, there's more of this than I thought.

I actually have a funny story of this
>Playing Super Hero game
>Here about a villian super with an aura that makes people act more wild or like animals, so fighting, eating, and fucking in the street
>My character is tracking this guy down with the party
>When he's somewhat nearby DM says that my character sees a naked lady and us getting turned on
>DM says to take 2 mind damage
>Refuse and shout NO
>Everyone lels

The joke is I thought the DM was doing the naked lady thing as a way to weaken my character against the bad guy, but it was actually the bad guys influence that made me do that. I had no idea why it took me do long to figure that out, but we all had a laff.

>>44930401
Once she met the current God, an old lady playing glorified chess, she was told that she's merely taking her place, and perpetuating the cycle. She can create whatever worlds she wants, as mentioned before, but she will slowly go mad and give in to repetition, or something of the sort.

Back on Earth, the remaining pilots make the trip back to ground level, only to discover everyone's gone, and the world as a whole is dying. The newly appointed God shows up to say her farewells, somebody gets friendzoned, nobody is happy. In the end, she decides to wipe the slate clean again, as there is nothing left in that world.

That was the ending. The alternative, had we chosen to open the gates, would in fact break said cycle, but also likely doom humanity and make the God girl into a world pillar of some sort. Basically eternal torment.

We were all mad, and we still are. Mad enough to make our own Eva system and start a new campaign without the previous GM.

I get mad at That GM.

This, along with the trip through Hell, actually sounded like a pretty cool idea. Sounds pretty shit though, I can almost hear the choo-choo from the railroad.

>>44929865
Cool idea, that's one way to add agency to the game. How's that going? I've actually tried going with the opposite approach, getting rid of most elements of the metaplot players wouldn't generally get a say in.
>>44928609
Where are you from that dice is singular? That sounds completely ridiculous to me.

>>44930877
The GM had cool ideas for a story, but not for a tabletop campaign. Actual in-depth interaction between pilots was scarce, the MC had the least agency of them all, and one of the pilots spent approximately a third of the campaign in medical.

>>44930877
>>44930964
I should also mention that two pilots were PROHIBITED from interacting with one another at one point, because one of them (the one that got friendzoned in the ending) developed feelings for the other.

>>44926487
I ate my character sheet once after my character got autokilled in the first round of combat in the first session.

You should have just killed him; I don't think any living man would consider him human, so it doesn't count as murder.

Like, was he actually trying to prevent roleplaying? How do you spend that much time in medical anyway? It really does sound like he was trying to write a novel here.

>I once threw a guy out of our group for using a handtowel to wipe his ass with.
That is worse than not using a coaster. 6 year old kids know better than that.

>>44931444
No kidding.

My wife folds these little faggoty towels, that hang in the guest bathroom.. That look pretty, but aren't meant to be used.

He was the only one to go in there. I asked him about it. Because my wife found the towel stuffed behind the shower curtain.

He said " oh, the towel? No. I didn't see it."

Fucker.

Not me, but a guy who used to play at the store I go to would commonly smash some of his models when he lost, ate the head of one too. And no, he probably does not make enough to consistently buy new ones

>>44931403
W-wut?

>>44931441
Based on my AdEva experience, it's not that hard. We were as OP as the system allowed at the time, and we still got bashed around plenty. The point man especially.

What doesn't make sense to me is not getting mutual RP time while you're laid up in the hospital. Usually there'd be a couple of us in there at a time, and if not it's hardly a stretch that you'd go visit your injured teammate.

>>44930646
>lots of gay characters
This reminds me of something that happened a while back.

Basically the DM was really good at doing NPC voices, but tended to do stereotypical gay voices for some reason. After we had met about 5 gay npc's in a row, one of the girls in the party asked, "What the hell, is everybody in this whole city gay?"

Before I could stop myself, I responded "Only since you arrived"

In any case, people who inject politics and their own shitty tastes into a game are easy to make fun of.

>>44931441
>Like, was he actually trying to prevent roleplaying?
He discouraged anything that would get us off his rails by a significant amount.
>How do you spend that much time in medical anyway?
It was several stays added together, if I recall. The first one was at the very first fight, when the player had to leave early, and it was written off as his character passing out in the entry plug. It also came with a lengthy stay in medical, though. I can't recall the rest, but they were similarly too long.

>>44931500

I hate when people think a chaotic character can do anything a player whims but a lawful character can't step on the line without losing god's support or some crap. Especially after putting up with stupid's constant attempts to make every encounter or plot direction about him or some obtuse plan of his in some way.

I'm the player who was sent to medical, so I'm goig to expand upon this stuff.

I had to leave early mostly because the fight was starting to take too long to resolve and I was tired. It was 3 AM if I recall, my time that is.

So I had to drop out, and I'm not upset about medical THAT time...

It's the fact that then I spent most of my time in medical because despite my efforts, I was rarely here for the end of the fight because EVERY fight took six hours.
Even when the player with schedule problems dropped out. The final session ended at 6 AM my time.

Every fight was an horrible slog, and I played the glorified meat shield class that is Assault. When I actually found something that let me help decently in the form of Grappling and Hold Still, the next fight was against something immune to grappling.

Do you know how it feels to be Toji? Because I do. I even got cucked due to the MC being forced to become a god and go to "heaven". Thanks.

I had a player that was finicky about how much everything cost and put up an argument whenever money was mentioned.
One time we argued back and forth for about 3 minutes and evnetually I just handwaved it and that was that.

That's about as bad as it's ever gotten.

Although if we count outside-of-game politics we've had an extremely manipulative player try to tear the group apart socially and ultimately succeed, so that pissed me off a fair bit.

I'm known for over-exaggerating being mad at things, usually on purpose.
I got so mad I just shut down. I was on an autopilot of "it's fine".

It may be petty, but...
The two that just didn't feel up to either game or even send me a message are getting really hyped about hosting a game they've wanted to do for years. I promised I'd be there. guess what's gonna happen

Not even playing myself, but reading some logs of an L5R shadowlands game.

The group was defending a fort, and during an assault by the tainted folk, the enemy commander issued a challenge to the castle because of some earlier stuff where the defenders fucked up. And, since it's L5R, honourable people can't refuse a duel...

Since the player commander was shit at duelling and there was a pitched battle in progress another player volunteered to be his second and fight in his stead.

Normally in honourable duels, the two characters take a turn in advance to use the iajitsu skill or something to see what's the best strike to use, before the actual fight occurs.
The duelist properly faced off against the undead commander, trying to make a judgement. The undead commanders instantly just attacks twice without honour and cuts the duelist down, without any chance to defend.

He then proceeded to order her face be cut off so he could use it as a mask (since he was a crane) while she was still alive, before turning her into an undead, too.

Meanwhile, the siege on the castle was overall unsuccessful and they managed to hold out long enough for the entirety of the castle was purified with jade, but since the dueling character died, the commander (who won the battle through balls to the wall tactics) promptly committed suicide, because that's what you do when your second loses in an honourable duel.

It just really bugged me that the GMs set up such a horrific no-win scenario for the the duelist, especially with with the terrible fate afterwards.

My gaming group tends to measure how good a game is by how much it ruins our friendships.

That being said, the first time we played the Game of Thrones board game I wanted to throw a chair through the window. Silent, white rage settled over me as I lost the game as Lanister on the last turn.

It was a good pain.

>"Only since you arrived"

The most mad I've ever been in an RPG was in a kind of moderate level fantasy in 3.5. Magic and stuff existed but mage colleges were few and far between and were harry potter level of magic. Level 10 or equivalent magic users were rare in the setting as were magic items beyond +1. So one of the player characters was a gruff fighter. He didn't trust magic, found it repulsive and didn't trust anyone who used it either. Me and one other person in the group were magic users, me a sorcerer and the other a bard. And since the bard didn't cast any overt magic he got mostly a pass from the fighter. Which means I was constantly getting verbally shit on by the fighter with 'don't trust you' and 'stay where I can see you scum'. He tried to sell me out at every turn whether it was to highwaymen saying I had sweet loot or exaggerating things I've done to a town guard to try and get them to arrest me. I tried to talk with him a few times about it and asked him to back off on it a bit but he always got defensive about 'playing his character the way he intended it'. It all capped off when we were fighting through a crypt where there were a few animated skeletons, the fighter blaming me for 'this magic bullshit' the whole time, and a pair of flesh golems at the center of it all.

(Cont)

>>44938110
Once they were defeated and burned, a black box in the center of the room opened up, shining an errie purple light out as a necklace with a pendant floated up, the shape of the pendant constantly shifting from one shape to another. And before anyone can react the fighter says he walks up to it, grabs it an puts it on. Cue everyone passing out, having strange dreams about a queen of some nether realm, and when we awake we've already walked ourselves out of the now crumbling crypt. The fighter doesn't seem bothered at all by this, and after asking why the figter would put on such an item without even thinking about it, he just shrugged. I kind of exploded on him calling bullshit on it all with how much he 'hated' magic and 'hated' the sorcerer and how everyone else had already gotten gear or benefits that amped them up and that this was obviously for my character (the DM chiming in and saying that it was intended for the sorcerer) and that him taking it is way out of character when he's been such a stickler about playing 'in character'. His response: 'Well then why don't you take it from me'.

The DM knowing that I was just moments away from pasting his character called the session and we never resumed. (and this happened in person)

>>44938044
Remembered another one. Playing in warhammer fantasy tournament. My pregnant as fuck wife comes in. Her big belly literally wipes a unit of mine off the edge of the board when she turns fast to look at something. She then steps on the models while trying to move away and see what she did.

Wasn't that mad because she is the wife... But pretty flabbergasted

its not magic, not even when the my pod deck got banned, I actually think board game night is the source of most of my salt.

When another player killed the game entirely for getting mad at the GM for allowing other players to make class specific skills to catch up to him, cause he rolled a melee class in a game that heavily favors melee characters.

In one instance he got pissy about the caster character having a ranged ability because magic and ranged were different. He later got pissy about the GM allowing the caster to keep it, but relabeled as a magic ability. The GM got tired of the bullshit and stopped showing. The guy was a heavy rulebook reader, and would stop RP for 10-20 minutes at a time to tell us about what we were doing and how it broke the rules, even after the GM said he'd allow stuff.

Probably one of my earliest games back in school, and we all were spending the night at the DM's house. I was playing a Rogue and the asshat played Fighter. Anyways,
DM invited a friend of his none of the rest of us knew, but we say whatever cause what are we gonna do, tell him no and to go home? Anyways, we get into the game and it doesn't take long to figure out we should've done that. Guy is a real dick, in and out of game. Everyone tells him both in character and out that he needs to knock that shit off, but he pretty much tells us to fuck off.
I've had enough. When we get to an inn to rest I decide I'm gonna kill this fucker. DM keeps telling me no, but I'm doing it anyways. DM throws all this bullshit at me to stop me:
Somehow the door is locked like it was a King's private treasury room, but luck preserves with a Nat 20
When I open the door, DM decides the fucker put cans infront of the door, and has him roll a Listen check to wake up, which he fails.
I then have to roll a Spot check to notice the broken glass he put ALL OVER THE FLOOR. Every step from the door to his bed was covered in broken glass.
Then I had to roll for every single step to see if I made a sound on the glass, and every failed roll got the dickass a Listen to wake, which he all failed. He also got rolls for every step regardless because 'it was an old building and the floor is creaky'.
I finally get to his bed, and apparently he went to sleep in full fucking armor, head to fucking toe in full plate. Yeah, sure, ok. Nevermind the fact he didn't even have full plate before. But whatever, I'm determined.
Motherfucking Sneak Attack+Coup de grace his ass.
Instagib the motherfucker. Or so I thought.
Turned out it was a body double, and he was never in the room to begin with. At that point I just knocked the board and everything off the table, said fuck this, called my mom to take me home and never played with that DM again.

I don't get this type of story, and it seems to be taken for granted here a lot.

If a player can't attend for some reason, do certain GMs simply pretend that their PC goes AWOL and may never return, rather than RP them as ill or injured - silent, but still in the party - for a session?

Why? That just strikes me as both lazy and offensive.

I was once a little miffed when I disagreed with the DM.

No specific instance, but I've recently realized that Pathfinder is my trigger.

Even though it was my first game after being exposed to so many other systems and being forced to play it with my group I realized how broken, unbalanced, and needlessly complex it is. Now seeing people recommending the game or talking about how good it is makes me irrationally angry. I think it's mostly because there are alternatives like 13th Age or FantasyCraft that do the same thing and aren't clusterfucks ruleswise, but somehow PF remains one of the most popular games.

or it may well be any time I try to play Star Wars: Armada...

>>44938324
>being this fucking autistic

I played a cleric who was a closet Zarus worshipper who just told anyone, including the DM and party that I worshipped the human pantheon and that all humans that have acsended to god status are worthy of looking up to. DM saw I had written down Zarus as my patron diety and threw an elvish hit squad at me when I was praying in a church of pelor. I was level 3, he openly stated they were 10+ and wasn't going to take me alive. Died on first turn, didn't let me roll initiative. Made me pretty salty.

When I was little my mum and brother were kicking my ass at Ludo. Like all my pieces got caught and I had to start from the beginning. I literally flipped the table and stormed out in tears. What a little shit I was.

>>44940119
Can I steal that concept?

>>44940119
Should have told the DM what you were doing, I don't know why you wanted to trick the DM of all people.
But how he reacted was dickish.

one of the first few sessions i ever played, one of my good IRL friends got gold for something we did (and the rest of us werent around) and he mother fuckin pocketed some of it... he was a druid not a thief!! idk i was still new to RPGs then, I try not to be the angry person at the table

>>44940233
I wasn't trying, Zarus respected all human gods which is what i wanted to do but with mechanics. Plus I just liked the greatsword favored weapon so I kept him as my patron.

>>44938683
Typically if someone mentions ahead of time that they'll be absent, my DM just assumes they're off doing something else that's worth about as much exp as the party got during the session. They do miss out on calling first dibs on whatever loot we find though, and get stuck with what's left, but I always thought that much was fair enough.

>>44940233
Not him but it said on his sheet who he worshiped.

Also fuck DMs who don't read sheets. I got super angry one game where the DM put us in a sticky situation we weren't supposed to be able to get out of but with my items we could get out. DM didn't read my sheet and just said "Oh, well you don't have that anymore."

Fucking shithead.

I was like 13, friend derrailed the story. I got so mad that I told him he died from a meteor strike.

Next session I apologised and retconned it saying it had actually been a healing meteor strike.

He gained 1d6+1 hp.

>>44940119
It was on your sheet? He didn't look it over?

>>44940119

>>44940337
>the DM put us in a sticky situation we weren't supposed to be able to get out of but with my items we could get out
see, while I am guilty of forgetting what's on my player's sheets, if that happened where I put them in a difficult situation and one of them had an item I forgot about that got them out of it without trouble, I'd probably say that they were clever and leave it at that.

Because for me, I like it when players come up with creative solutions to problems, and bringing items along to solve those problems is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about because that would require planning ahead. I don't understand why your GM was so damn upset.

was he hoping you'd guys would get stuck? how do you advance the plot then?

I'm confused.

>>44940487
We ended up getting captured by guards and brought before some noble which forced us to do something for him in return for not having us executed for breaking in.

>>44940772
well, if he wanted you to work for the noble you were stealing from there are alternate ways to get you there. without punishing the players for being creative.

like pull an inception-type scenario:

A few days later the same noble summons the party and tells them this: "I know you were the ones who stole from me, but you also didn't get caught in my traps, that is not an easy thing to do, so instead of calling the guard, I'm going to offer you a job, do this and not only will I let you keep what you stole from me, but I will match it's value in payment as well. What do you say?"

Who's going to say "no" to an offer like that?

One time I was DMing and a chick that I used to fuck (and who demanded I stopped fucking her) had a sloppy three-way makeout session with another girl at the table and one of the other guys. Right in front of me, right in the middle of a session.

Later she told me she was being disruptive on purpose because I wouldn't fuck her after she told me she couldn't fuck me ever again. People like her are why girls aren't generally welcome on game night...

>>44939277
Calm down, dude. You're at a 9, and I need you at a 2.

>>44941769
I'll take "things that have never happened" for 100

The time myself and a friend--who were both competent GMs by our and our players' standards--were both going to be away for a weekend but out players still wanted to play. Fuckstick Mcgee was a (terrible) player we had that kept asking to be able to GM a game, so we decided to let him. Queue us returning from the weekend:

>Players: uh, anons, Fuckwiggle Assrimmer kind of screwed up the game
>How?
>He gave everyone ridiculously overpowered magical items (think +10 longswords on level 1 characters) and killed like, three of us
>Fucking what?
>Talk to Retard, ask him what happened and why he did it
>"Oh, I just wanted to fuck with your campaign"

Queue next session, us sitting down with the rest of the players, Dickslurp Shitworshipper is there too, smiling smugly.

>Hey guys, ready to get gaming?
>Definitely
>HEY WHAT ABOUT ALL THE SHIT I DID LAST SESSION LOL
>Oh yeah, me and anon talked it over, and none of that shit ever happened
>... WHAT YES IT DID
>No

And then we moved on.

Last time I played 5e with some friends, I spent fucking ages making my character and his background and everything. Then the first damn fight we get in is what's supposed to be a 3 CR goblin with an axe. The fucker got a crit on me and chopped my head off.
I don't mind losing a character at all, but that was like fifteen minutes into the night. We plan these games like three weeks apart. Half the entire purpose of the DM screen is to cheese horrible rolls to keep the game interesting. I think it pissed me off more because I was technically mad he didn't cheat so I couldn't really complain much.

>>44936092

Holy shit your friend is terrible. Can't really blame the guy that did the "modifications" beyond him being an idiot, because he probably had no idea of the personal worth that army had. But your friend, the dude who must have also been interested in the hobby? FUCK. THAT. GUY.

paladin and rogue started arguing because he wouldnt let him kill the goblin enemies in their sleep,despite the gm telling us they were definitely evil and would kill us without hesitation if they were in the same situation

argument took up 30-40 minutes of session time

I finally got my GM to let me play a psion after 5 years of asking.

He drowned in the game. That was fair, I did kind of jump into danger and was asking for, it but I'm a bit peeved cause I did it to motivate the rest of the group to do something other than sit around helplessly staring at these submerged hallways.

Literally ten minutes later, my girlfriend realized her sorcerer with a necklace of adaptation had a bag of holding full of air and enough space for multiple people.
And she picked then to reveal this to us.

This happened over the course of the last few months, basically one of our group GM's offered to run a game in an original setting, he had a very basic idea of what he wanted from the setting but no details.
Bunch of colonialists come into not!Egypt and start a conquest, with a chance to play a local.

I opt ot be a local, ask him for some details on the setting so I can work my character into it all properly, he makes it obvious he doesn't have anything planned beyond the vaguest shit.
So, I ask if he wants me to act as a sounding board for ideas.
He asks me to help him come up with shit, I'm fine with that I do it for most my GMs and everyone knows its only suggestions.

So I help him fill out the world a little, he puts fucking nothing into it and just nay-says every suggestion I make while coming up with jack shit himself, until I point out he needs at least some shit to run.
So he takes some of it. We create a pretty interesting world, my character is a slave, with his race having once been the ruling race of the place (And total dicks while at it)
With it being not!Egypt and me being not!Moses, only with more evil intentions I suggest my character be a Eunuch since it gives the leader of the Conquerors a real way to gain my characters love/trust/gratitude rather than it just being a business relationship and them mutually abusing each other, makes total sense, after all you don't want a bunch of potentially dangerous slaves who have innate magical abilities outbreeding your people and reconquering the place. So its careful control of the slaves, purging of children that show signs of being throw backs to the old Ubermensch species they were and things are generally shit for slaves because hey, that's how things roll, he wanted a place where the slaves were shit on and we worked something out together. Yeah I'm putting in more effort than the GM, but no big, it'll make it more fun for everyone right?

My character is basically very subservient and plays plot device mostly, leading the new comers and not hogging the spotlight at all.
And the game is fun for everyone, everyone is having a bit of a laugh, intrigued by the new, interesting setting (Which I practically built) and things go smoothly.
Then, suddenly, because of the Faggot he is, a few weeks later the game dies on its feet. No reason, no excuse, just LEL BORED NOW, GET FUK'D.
Of course, everyone involved is salty since we put effort into out characters and he put jack shit into the setting, plot or anything else.
So we give him shit for it, because he deserves it, every time he tries to start a new game we point out the last one died like the littlest cancer patient and we don't trust him to run a game that survives.
So this cunt that walks like a man says he stopped running because of me.

Apparently from his version of events you'd think I basically hijacked the game from under him and shat all over his DEEPEST LORE with my own self-insertion fan fiction faction so I could play out my super special race that I'm obviously obsessed with because I was looking forward to playing something that wasn't a human and my secret magical realm castration fetish and ruined the game out of hand, making it impossible for him to run which is totes why it died, honest guv.
In front of the entire group, straight up tries to poison everyone against me as if I'm a problem player, laying all this at my feet and trying to turn him killing his game because he's a lazy cunt, into me smothering it.

Obviously it was on my shoulders the game died, after I put actual effort into it and went out my way to make it easier for him to run.
Not because he's a passive aggressive faggot that has the attention span of an autistic goldfish, can't plan further than the tip of his micro-dick, world build for shit or talk to people like an adult (And before anyone says it, I've told him as much to his face, after he tried to pin it all on me behind my back) if he has a problem with their suggestions, when he has fucking nothing himself.

Fuck you Jet, eat shit and die. I'm just glad most the group knows I'm pretty legit, yeah I'm a pro-active player rather than a reactive one, but I always put in as much as I can to make the GM's life easier. And most the group knows you're a fucking asshole that causes shit when you're a PC and a useless fuck that can't GM your way out of a room with the door open.
You shit on that good will and then you tried to poison the well on me.
Cunt.

I always meant to go back and finish a story time I was doing, but I'm a lazy fuck. This is more of that story, though. Pic is the beginning of the campaign from my point of view, if anyone wants more story. This current story is of my second character in that same campaign.

We're near the end of a dungeon that has taken us two months, one session a week, to get through, and the DM said all we had left was the last little part, kind of the treasury area. "Good, we'll get some loot for all the labor we've put into this shithole," I think to myself. Hah.

THREE WEEKS LATER we have made it past the first corner of the hallway and the first room. The hallway is filling with lava for some reason, and we have managed to turn a doorknob to a different room. Here a former player makes a come back in a new character, who is at first an NPC who casts an unavoidable mind fuckery spell. We all have to solve riddles or be murdered to death through mind magic. One of the riddles was dumb, and I pointed out the flaw in it, so I specially took two more shots of psychic pain because the player thought it'd be funny.
We go through the door in the back (one session later) and see a room full of gold. With the DM's comments about this being the treasury area we gleefully fill our pockets. Until the invisible basilisks and giant snake of some sort drop stealth and start eating us. The returned player had an ability that this room was supposed to bring out so the group would love him after he tried to mind murder us, except he ended up not being able to play. The DM shrugged and didn't change shit, so we started getting our faces fucked. Eventually everyone is down or turned to stone, and it's just me and another guy up.

>>44946289
>>44946400
I didn't even get the reference I myself made. Good fuckin show, lads.
>>44946204
>Actually has bar soap
Wat. I literally have only seen people do this when out of liquid soap.

>>44945728
>>44945807
>>44945874
Fucking hell, that is some bullshit.
10/10, would rage again.

>>44946422
Let me tell you about the other guy, /tg/. Let me tell you. This fucker has been the favorite of the game since day 1 for some reason. We play over roll20, he and the DM never met before that, they don't live in the same state. If not for all that I would've bet the player let the DM slide it in the back door a couple times, the favoritism is that bad.
His current character is some sort of alchemist who can cast any fire flavored spell assuming he rolls well enough. He's also part demon, and has a demon butler. It's Sebastion from Black Butler. Not even !Sebastion, just straight out Sebastion.

So there we are, me, asshole, asshole's demon, fighting off the remaining two basilisks. My character can shadowstep around and has been using a magic sawn-off coach gun to do some serious damage to the basilisks, so they're a mite pissed at him. I forget the specific range fo a basilisk gaze attack, but who cares, you know what's coming. Despite being more than triple the range of the gaze attack the DM makes me roll against being stoned. I've managed to roll to not be stoned many times by now, but I finally roll too low and am stoned.
Rage #1 of this story: being stoned at 3 times the maximum range.
Asshole orders his demon to do whatever it takes to defeat the basilisks. Demon says "Yeah, sure boss," and does his Voltorb impression by exploding. Turns out the DM was tired of Asshole relying so heavily on the demon. This, of course, makes Asshole not want to play the character anymore. Not that he says anything yet.

NPC comes along, unstones us, turns some of us into warforged cyborgs as a ressurection thing, we're ready to continue on. We open the door in the back of the room and find it's full of treasure chests.
"It'd be funny and cliche if they were all mimics. After everything we've gone through though I'm sure he wouldn't do that."

>>44946728
Spoiler warning: every fucking chest is a mimic. Not a single one is treasure. This is a room someone bothered to have basilisks and shit guarding, and it has nothing in it except fucking MIMICS. Rage #2: hacking through all these guardians only to find the payout is more monsters.

So it's another session later, the evil guy is back, and he learned that while he was gone his character was hit with a misfired spell and also his special sword was melted in lava on accident. He literally listed one of his character's traits as "suicidally vengeful." To this day I give him shit about giving a character such an anti-team trait in a campaign where the DM is actively trying to fuck us over and make it DM vs players.

Once we discern the room has a couple mimics in it (we held out hope it was just some) we start trying to trick them into moving. Asshole at this point approaches a mimic and uses an animal handling check on it. Instead of eating him, the mimic just growls threateningly. Seeing that they aren't immediately hostile I venture further into the room to see what else is in it, where a mimic runs up and clamps down on my ankle. Asshole tosses a gold coin to the mimic in front of him, and it turns into a beautiful elf woman who gives him a smile. I toss two coins to mine, it turns into a big human man and punches me in the face.
I brought up the evil guy because it's at this point he uses more mind fuckery (as a PC, mind you, not an NPC anymore) to make the player who misfired the spell want to climb into a mimic's mouth. He does so.
All hell breaks lose as the party fractures. Some of us want to murder the evil guy, some of us want to get the sorcerer out of the mimic, I just want this stupid mimic to leave me alone, Asshole wants to bang his mimic I guess.

Almost done, I swear. Getting to the climax.

At that point, the campaign died, like it was dying, but it's just fucking fully dead.
Never have I ever had thought you could passively aggressively kill a fucking campaign.

>>44946981
NEXT SESSION, after some shit I don't recall has gone down, it's me and the sorcerer fighting off the mimics. Our ubermench centaur paladin is off to the side trying to keep our unconscious healer monk alive and being left alone. Asshole and his newest waifu (he's had something like three so far) are off to the side, and he's telling me and the sorcerer to stop hurting the mimics. Sorcerer and I are telling him to go fuck a duck, the mimics started it and we're going to finish it so long as we're the ones winning.
I'm not being aggressive at all, just backing up slowly and only taking attacks of opportunity when things chase me to hit me. (The DM's system for combat says Attacks of Op happen when you ENTER a creatures threat range, unless you do it by using a 5ft movement. That's Rage #3.) My sword sets shit on fire so these AoOs are instantly fatal to the mimics. Sorcerer has summoned an Owlbear and is launching out tons of flaming magic missiles. I later tallied up the kills and I had 3; the sorcerer was responsible for the other 42.

Suddenly I'm attacked by a demon hunter npc who I accidentally hurt earlier. By accidentally I mean I wanted to move somewhere, and the DM thought it would be funny if I did it incompetently and thus had me run over the NPC. Rage #4: Apparently I am only capable of moving in straight lines. I won the ensuing fight at the time, and she decided that instead of leaving us alone and going to live the life we had given back to her (having released her from stasis) or even healing form our fight, she would follow us while stealthed (spot check free for the stealth) until there was a good time to kill me. Rage #5: shitty logic for why npcs did shitty things. We're both extreme burst people and both really hurt, so it's a close thing, but I've disarmed her and am about to win when Asshole runs up, gives her his sword, and runs back.

The half demon gave the demon hunter his sword, to fight his party member. Rages 6 and 7.

>>44947314
So while sorcerer and I are off trying to not die horribly, Asshole approaches the centaur pally and whispers shit to him. Basically he told the centaur pally that he was the one who saved him (he really didn't) and that he was owed a favor for it. Centaur pally agreed that sounded right, he would do any one thing. Asshole asks him to kill me. Apparently I'm being too mean to the mimics while fighting an assassin for my life, and need to die for my cruelty. Centaur pally is so brokenly built in this homebrewed 3.5 game that he can more or less oneshot anyone, and more than a month's worth of sessions before actually had oneshot half an army by himself, so I stand 0 chance. He hits me and knocks me down so low we all think I'm dead. Literally, it wasn't until a month or two later the DM mentioned he had changed a rule that made it so my character wasn't actually dead. At the time though, I was blind with rage. Rage #8.

Wellp, I'm dead and can only watch as the sorcerer nopes the fuck out of there and the mimics disperse. Sorcerer was pretty bro-tier, said he was terrified because he had no reason why I was suddenly attacked either and didn't want to share my fate. When he plane travels back the centaur explains to him out loud why he did it and says he's thinking about killing Asshole for making him do such a dishonorable thing.
Except lolno, Asshole doesn't want to play this character without his demon butler, remember? Literally the same session I die, two giant mimics loom up from the previous room somehow. Before combat starts a sword bursts through one of them. A big guy with flowing golden locks of hair walks out. He slays the other giant mimic in a similar oneshot, walks up to Asshole's character, sniffs him, and says "You smell of demonhood. Die." Oneshots him as well. I'm thinking this is some kind of karmic retribution from the DM... until Asshole takes control of his newest PC.
The blond guy, if that was unclear.

>>44947498
Shortly after this, Asshole ended up being homeless on the streets and I really couldn't feel all that bad about it, especially as he had been bragging about how he was going into the Navy and they would let him do anything because he had scored high on a test. He'd been "going into the Navy" for a couple years by this point, but they wouldn't let him in because of an ingrown toenail.

The whole campaign was rage-heart-attack inducing, but it was my first introduction to TTRPG and I enjoyed the kind of game so much I kept going back. I'm in better games now.

I hope I didn't kill the thread, but this IS about what's made you angriest, right?

>>44926487
My wizard found a wand of frost. The very next boss I ran into was a giant fire toad immune to frost damage and insta killed my character. Worst part is, the tod just looked like a giant toad. I couldnt tell it was a fire breathing one that had immunity to an ice storm spell.

He created that encounter to kill me. I was almost completely silent for the rest of the session. It ws partly the reason I left his game.

>>44948773
Nigga..
Your PC doesn't automatically know every creature and their weakness.

>>44948835
Yes but I didnt expect a giant toad that lived in the sewers to be immune to ice damage and breath fire. I asked him what it looked like and he said it looked like a giant toad. No indication that it had special powers.

Besides, my Ice storm spell did zero damage and he took me out in one round. It wasnt even a fair fight. I was the only one that died either, the toad didnt hurt the other PC's.

>>44948940
Again...

Your PC doesn't know what a creature's immunity is, automatically.

Why were you that close to it anyway?

Where was your front line martial?

Look, you dense motherfucker, I was 30 feet away from it. The maximum range of my ice storm. I attacked first since the toad wanted a tribute for us to pass.

I went, the rest of the party could not go since we were to far away and my spell would have hit them if they got to close. My spell should have done around 30 to 50 damage, it was my most powerful spell. My character was a lvl 3 mage.

The toad took me out in one hit. It was immune the the wand I got the session before. You may not get it, but the set up was intended to kill me.

My DM literally said "I planned for your wand" after the fight was over. God dam.

And yes, a giant fire toad should not be immune to magical ice. It was a shit fight and unfair in every way.

I was GMing and my PCs spent 45 minutes to an hour questioning me on and speculating about centaur biology.

My group isn't an overly serious one and I knew that going into it but it just sort of takes the piss when I spend hours working on encounters and stories as well as micromanaging their inventories since only one of them can be bothered to keep track of things as rudimentary as rations. We play 5th edition but they complain it's too complex; my FLGS has a couple of groups but they're all elitist cunts that refuse to run anything other than 2nd edition

>>44949452

I think what everyone but you in the thread has figured out was that, by fighting the toad at all in the first place, you fucked up.

You were supposed to just give some tribute and be on your way. Not everything in the game is obligated to roll over and die for you like a respawning MMO grind monster.

>>44938683
If you miss a session then my DM decides what your character was doing based on who it is. For example, my sorcerer is usually in a drunken stupor when I miss a sesh or the rogue was working on a detective case.

You don't get any XP for that session but we're at a high enough level to where it doesn't make too much of a difference. We only level up every 5 sessions or so anyway, and most of the party is pretty near each other XP wise even the guy that misses constantly.

>>44949525
And, its not a correctable thing.

He'll never get better.

Bail now.

>>44949525
>>44949562
He was my friend. He actually pulled shit worse than that earlier on in the campaign and I got over it. I could greentext it if anyone wants.

Im gone now, so dont worry.

>>44949552
Yeah, no. Only you and that other retard think that.

>>44949552
The DM was planning to fuck them over either way, likely by making that "tribute" a moral quandary. Him "ruining" that by fighting a monster that was intentionally built to kill JUST him suggests he would have rekit that fucker to be immune to just about anything the party had to offer.

I get you want to blame this on the player, maybe you're a DM who's done something similar, but if he's capable of doing this he's probably not even a good player. He certainly isn't a worthwhile DM.

>>44949574
I think some previous poster put it best: good friends =/= good groups.

Though honestly if he could do that shit to you and it isn't a clearly light-hearted quest where you guys are poking fun at one another I'd question my friendship with him too.

>>44948835
>Your PC doesn't automatically know every creature and their weakness.
Games usually have checks to figure out what you are up against.
That the creature was indistinguishable from others of it's kind is a big red sign that something was very suspicious, as in most fantasy games, creatures that are outside the norm of their group have markings that set them apart.
Add to that how elemental creatures, like Fire *insert* are immune to their element and weak to it's opposite.

>>44949596
This.
There is no defending this course of action.

>>44949552
But the DM didn't give him a list of the critters immunities!!
And then the toad attacked the guy who attacked it!!!
Totally cheating.

>>44949622
He had one of my characters tortured to death. It was the other big reason I quit. He was cool sometimes but pulled a lot of dick moves.

This also wasnt the first time he tried to kill my wizard. Once he had every head on a hydra focus on him for a full round. For no reason, he just wanted to kill him.

I'm glad for you, and I know you want to say it's a separate reason, but let's face it, with everything you've told me, this guy is an utter fuckface and there's no way he'd keep that side of himself in check no matter what.

Something offering to let you pass is different from something demanding payment for you to pass. It's the difference between someone offering you a free sample and someone selling you a sample. Toad set a price on them passing through a sewer it probably did not actually own. This is called highway robbery. Quit being dense on purpose, or if by some strange twist of incest you're actually this dense just lurk.

It really hams my biscuits when people think lawful has anything to do with following the law. Lawful = personal code of some kind.
Serial killers can be lawful evil; they only kill one specific type of person, and have a strict moral code of how to do it and what clues or calling cards to leave behind.
A warrior-priest (not paladin, as they only follow JUSTICE) can be lawful good and still torture heretics as long as he doesn't disobey his personal code/his religion's code about extreme torture.

>>44926487
I was one of the party's two combat characters and was the only ranged fighter since the other combat PC was a Golem with a massive sword. I ended up needing a sizable loan to acquire a pet companion. The Lawyer PC offered to give me the loan and I could work for him to pay it off while he held onto my ship as collateral. I thought the deal was a little to good to be true, but after a good roll to see issues with the contract I assumed that since I was one of the only things standing between him and certain death that he wouldn't try to fuck me over.

I was wrong. I spent most of my free time over the next in game week running errands and serving summons to people in sketchy parts of the city. I made a little money on the side by threatening some people so I decided to forgo more of my paycheck than the 10 gold a week minimum so that I could pay off the debt as quickly as possible. Only when I did this I discovered that 10 gold was the maximum and that I'd be paying 10 gold a week for the next 50 weeks at a minimum, because the Lawyer PC was also planning on renovating my ship and was going to charge me thousands of gold for the cost and force me to pay for it by extending my time of service.

I was stupid for taking the deal in the first place, but getting turned into an indentured servant by someone that I was already willingly protecting was infuriating.

Woah, hold the fuck on. Anon did not attempt to use real world logic, Anon attempted to use fantasy game mechanic logic. If a creature is of a certain element type then it stands to reason that the opposite element should have a detrimental effect.

That's ignoring the word "MAGICAL." There's a difference between the fire in a campfire and the fire someone spews from their hands, being immune to one shouldn't also cover the other.

>>44953176
and if said frog were doused in liquid nitrogen he would be totally immune to the effects?
no.

Our first really serious campaign, the party ended up splitting into good and evil sides, with the evil players slowly fucking over towns while the good characters built up their own. My cleric was the protector of a small town of refugees, had his old home destroyed by the evil characters, and most of the npcs we had met and helped on our quests were dead at this point. I made a plan with the good fighter to travel to the evil characters' stronghold and kill them - it would be a pretty fair 2v2 to put an end to their shit.

I write out a pre-battle prayer, plan out everything I can, the other players do the same, and then game day we show up and the DM says "I changed my mind, I'm just gonna have an outsider alignment change the evil characters so they're good again and you can all work together again."

Our characters have their memory wiped, meanwhile half the continent is still destroyed, and we only play like one more session after that. fuck you DM

Normally you'd be right with a lot of things. But there aren't nearly enough people autistic enough to call a die a dice for that change to happen. Something isn't correct just because you say it is you faggot.

>because there's a metal detector
You DO realize that the setup in the doorway of Barnes and Noble is meant to detect the barcode tags they put inside their books t prevent theft, right?

After 3 weeks in a journeyman league of my highest roll being a 3, I grabbed my dice, took them outside, and chucked them over a fence. I then came back inside, rolled 3 more dice, highest roll was a 3 and chucked them at the wall. I felt terrible afterwards because a die ricocheted off the table and hit the guy I was playing with. I just conceded at that point. 3 weeks of being fucked over by dice rolls can make you want to quit a system.

My and my gf have been together for over 5 years. We know to keep our (rare) bickering private. She's got a book published and I'm a perpetual DM so I asked her to DM. She's got a book published, but stopped writing since we both went back to college. She likes it and is doing well as a DM. Custom campaign. We haven't had any problems. That being said, I can totally see relationship issues and resentments shitting all over a game.

>>44954320
The roll says how your character did. There's two proper ways to do this imo.
1. Let them RP things out, then roll. The roll represents how it was received. Perhaps the character had a piece of distracting spinach in their teeth, or the healer's tits were distracting, or the npc was really hungry- whatever reasoning can go into why the npc went against the PC's attempt.
2. Roll first, then RP based off of the roll.
>Ah shit, I rolled a 2? With mod that makes a 3. Whoopie. A-hem.
>"I step forward to shake the man's hand, introduce our group, and ask about the local goblin population- but my boot catches on the floor, tripping me so that I land face first into his stomach."
Method 2 of course relies on the DM giving some narrative control to the players, and to be quite frank I've never heard of anyone using method 2 overall more than 1.

>hammed it the fuck up
I would literally pay money to watch someone do that to a shit GM.

Had one player create a character with no motivation beyond self-interest for a classic DnD adventure game.

She would basically go home every time enemies appeared.

I was trying to explain to her that sometimes you need to compromise with this shit, she was like 'OKAY THAT'S FINE, IF YOU'D RATHER HAVE THE GAME WITHOUT ME THAT'S FINE'

Ended up quitting the game cos she wasn't the only one doing it. Godawful group.

>>44938089
>And, since it's L5R, honourable people can't refuse a duel...

I'm pretty sure they're not obligated to answer the challenge of some tainted creature. So they are well within their rights to tell the enemy commander to go fuck himself and then send more peasant levies after him.

>>44926487
I once kicked my flatmate in the dick so hard that we had to take him to ACC cause he thought his nuts were ruptured.

It was because he sold off a bunch of stuff out of my room while I was in another city for a few works because of work, and he didn't think I'd notice. Said stuff he sold included a few clothes, but also my entire Grey Knight Army (This was back in 3rd Ed) and Necron army. It was mostly the other stuff he sold, but selling those off also infuriated me.

>>bans clerics because no gods (he actually wears a fedora)
I knew a guy who genuinely wore a fedora but ironically he did believe in god, which is pretty unusual in my part of the world.

>>44931383
Would it be the worst thing in the world for a GM to make an explicitly atheistic setting, just not have any gods in it? Maybe still have magic but no gods, is that really so bad?

>>44955835
In terms of downtime activity or in terms of noncombat skills?

In both cases not a whole lot. Rogue assassin minmaxed for damage.

>>44955911
Not really. Unless by "no gods" you mean "no beliefs". Where you have beliefs, somebody will eventually personify and begin to worship said belief.

And a world and people with no beliefs aren't even human.

>>44955911
I'd say only if he took it upon himself to make it fit with the game mechanics and world's thematics as well as adding enough content to rebalance the lack of any and all gods (replace clerics, warlocks, change paladins, etc.). Though, this is from the perspective of someone who's only played D&D; obviously I think that shit would be just fine in a post-apocalyptic or sci-fi setting.

The hardest part will be proving an absence of gods, without that it's just an Gnostic setting

You know how there's that statistic about half of marriages breaking up, what are the states on just regular relationships? I'd imagine they'd be a hell of a lot worse. Statistically speaking the campaign probably will last longer then the relationship, hence the inevitable drama.

Yeah people would still believe in gods it's just they wouldn't intervene in their lives like how it works in D&D. People would pray to god for guidance or comfort or whatever, not sweet spells. Maybe the gods are real but it just doesn't come up in the game much.

The word you meant is agnostic and also you're using it wrong.

>>44956185
>also you're using it wrong
Thank you.

Out of curiosity, anon, what is your opinion of the recent influx of people who state things along the lines of "agnostic atheism is just a newatheist attempt to hide behind agnosticism with weak wordplay"? I have noticed this argument becoming disturbingly more frequent.

>Out of curiosity, anon, what is your opinion of the recent influx of people who state things along the lines of "agnostic atheism is just a newatheist attempt to hide behind agnosticism with weak wordplay"?
They're fucking morons, what else needs to be said? They're probably people who used to be atheists because it was edgy and different and cool and made them feel like the smartest guy in the room and then atheism became incredibly mainstream so now they need to go one step beyond that and become """""Agnostics""""".

>>44954320
Or maybe you roll first and then ACTUALLY ROLEPLAY the result, rather than rolling a 1 yet proceeding to give an amazing speech and then complain to the GM

>>44945901

What you describe isn't roleplaying, because you get out of your fucking role

It's like people are actually retarded.

> Mad that a cheaters GF sucks your friends dick.

You are a terrible fucking friend. Please do not kill yourself with your gun, use another method that doesn't reflect badly on responsible gun users.

This dude was outright cheating and intentionally being a troll and he fucking ruined me early on and I went berserk I threw the table in his face and started throwing everything within reach at him. Then when I was told to leave I grabbed a brick off the table and busted the window with it.

Definitely the time a player got so ultra butt mad that THEY forgot that an enemy was invisible (probably you were fucking around on your phone MIKE!) and even though they knew where it was because of the rogue tracking it, they still took that -5 penalty to hit. So when they didn't hit they literally rage quit, threw their gaming stuff on the floor and nearly walked out.

>>44928609
Language IS a living thing that evolves.

But there has to be a threshold before which some given word use is just a mistake.

Now, maybe you in particular think that that threshold is four or five guys saying it and understanding each other. But since most people disagree with that, it seems like a silly way to go about using language.

>>44942605
See, this is where you and I disagree. You seem to be under the impression that because you've put a lot of time into your character, the rules of the game somehow don't apply to you, and you should be allowed to survive fights. If I ever find out our GM is keeping us alive, despite what the dice says, I just lose all interest in the game. Why even play with rules if you're just going to ignore them whenever you don't get the desired outcome? Seeing what the dice throws at you and adapting to the situation is what a lot of the game is about.

Nope. I have a pretty severe case of social anxiety so reaching out and trying to become part of a group who are active in something I always wanted to try was a big thing for me. I still buy RPG books, but I just stay at home and read them alone, thinking about what it'd be like to play them. Torchbearer seems cool. Oh well.

This is the primary issue with DMs who can't improvise. They see a shift in the path they want the PCs to take, and just say "well shit, I guess I'll just force them to do this."
