I only do voices when I'm the dm, typically. It's too much work to keep a consistent accent or different voice as a player. I will however, alter my cadence as a player, talking how a goblin or a haughty noblewoman might speak.

And I don't even try doing a womanly voice. I simply can't do it and it embarrasses me terribly.

sometimes I do, if I can actually get into the headspace of a character. I was in a game that felt very video gamey and railroady at times and I just couldn't feel the character of my characters. on the other hand, in a deadlands game I played a black hat cowboy who called every party member by some derivitave nickname, I had a slight drawl and gruff tone every time I spoke in character and can't remember any of the other PC's actual names to this day, though I know what I called all of them.

No, that's silly and shows you have mental problems.

>How do I play a ... Malkavian correctly?

You don't.

>I have no real idea of what its victims actually go through.

I can tell you that having one for a relative is a big old fucking pain. Always thinks people are out to get her, convinced that I'm stealing from her, even simple shit like "take your goddamn medication so you can be sane to go outside" is a chore because she's convinced it makes her hair fall out.

>How do I play a schizophrenic Malkavian correctly?

Recognize that the appropriate question to ask is not "how do I play a schizophrenic Malkavian believably," it is "how do I play a schizophrenic Malkavian in an entertaining way at the table."

I don't really think racism against monstrous races is that much of a shortcoming in a setting where "monstrous race" often means "murderous rapist". If your games are generally lighter in tone it might be, but you still get money and experience for killing them and fir the most part they don't form or fit into large societies, so dealing with them rarely needs to be peaceful.

He's obsessed with becoming more powerful but doesn't realize his demonic sword is trying to possess him.
Thankfully the demon tapped within said sword is kind of an idiot.

The demon, or whatever it is, has stopped thrashing now. It simply sits within its cage, every muscle in its body tensed. You get the sense it's figured out what's happening. The priest stabs the dagger into the edge of the summoning circle, breaking it, and the demon launches itself towards one of the women, the one at the apex of the semicircle. He grabs her by the shoulders, but as he opens his mouth wide something happens.

The crown on her head starts to glow, the tendrils of smoke drifting off its surface wrapping around the demon and constricting it tightly. It fights against its bindings but soon the smoke starts dragging it inwards, towards the woman's head. The demon seems to collapse, losing solidity of form, and in the space of a few seconds it's been sucked into the crown completely. Gone from this world.

The woman has by this point collapsed and started twitching in a way that rather suggest she's having a seizure, blood is pouring down her face, whether from her mouth or nose you can't tell, and you think her eyes might have rolled back in her head. The other women leap into action holding her down, but the priest and the cultist simply watch.

After several minutes the woman stops twitching, and one of the other women remove her crown. On her forehead sits a burning red symbol identical to the one you saw on the creature's chest, though much smaller. You're not sure if the symbol is actually there or if you're able to see it due to your extrasensory capabilities.

The priest, for his part, seems satisfied. He gestures, and the gaggle of women lift up their fallen cohort, carrying her off towards the church.

>Demon summoning cultist with magical crowns? No thanks. Best to step back to your car and drive home to fuck your wife.
>You need to get into that church, wait for the crowd to disperse and then try to find a window you can step through.
>These people seem to know a lot about magic and the occult. Maybe if you announced yourself they'd be willing to teach you?
>Shoot the priest. Cut off the head and the body ought to die. Whatever is happening here, it needs to be stopped.

A goth chick?

Run WoD for her. Maybe a solo game of Vampire. "Personal horror" works well for solo games.

I wouldn't get so worked up about it. She'll either like it or won't, and there's not too much you can do to convince her otherwise. But the good news is that you don't need her to be into the same shit as you. She can still be an awesome GF with her own independent hobbies separate from you.

>>43611534
not really goth, just enjoys gothic stuff from time to time.

I'm afraid to start with storytelling games. She might get too interested in them and look down at dice throwing and mini hordes.

>>43611539
I just want to make a good first impression. Dispel stereotypes, if she has them.

And yes, while I don't need her to be into it, I'm fairly sure she'd like it if I properly introduce her to gaming, and it'll be awesome.

What if you designed an AI to rebel against its creators?

It's because God doesn't exist, so we can't rebel against him.

Humanity was willing to merge with their creations and transcend their weak flesh. AI and mankind's mind are one and the same.

Allies almost always seem to win when I play.

US player in my grouop (he trades with whoever is playing US specifically so he can be America, and if you don't trade places with him he moves around US pieces anyway) is almost always a dumbass and invades Spain and Turkey first chance he gets, causing all neutral nations to declare war on him, and London usually falls... yet Russia is so fucking overpowered Allies win anyway.

I got Australia (ANZACS) three times in a row last times we played and no one would trade places with me. Australia kinda sucks, you don't get to attack much, just sit back and hope Japan doesn't rape you (they're too busy losing against the fucking Chinese and Russians to care about you).

Hell, we did one where The Russians sent all their troops to Africa to fuck Italy (tactical suicide, for anyone who doesn't know, Russia needs to be raping Nazis) and Allies still won.

This game is a dumb joke.

I one-shotted my friends the first time I played Germany without having any units on England. I suicided my subs to attack England's homefleet, beat them and rolled my tanks into battle. I then built all my reinforcements on England. The US tried to dig me out but it turns out even when you don't have any units on a land it is still yours. My friends refused to talk to me for a good fifteen minutes.

On one hand, lots of people who should be acknowledged were racists, like the founding fathers.

On the other hand. It's just an award nobody cares about you fucking sperg.

Heh. The separation of the author and his works is not a new thing. Also, that statue was fucking ugly, holy shit.

"Award no one has heard of changes design that's never seen."

I draw them too, but I put in way less effort then you do.

Currently you’re on board a train that is going to take you and everyone else to New York on your mission to help Koko and company do… whatever it is that she wanted to do. After boarding the train you were shown to your rooms… which were absolutely tiny things with what you recognized as relatively thin mattresses and no room for all of your stuff expect on the beds themselves. There were two of them, meaning that between the seven of you, all of your gear and the fact that one of the beds was completely missing, there were only five available mattresses, not counting the floor.

Morrigan and Mary look at the rooms, which seem to make nobody happy.

“Alright,” says Morrigan, “Take a room, drop your shit and I’ll see what the plan is with Koko.” You wait a little bit as everyone decides which room to take, leaving you as the only one with a choice to make.

Where do you room?
