Dank Heresy 2

Feral World Guardsman
>Planet had broken man of iron on it
>Turned into religious symbol by tribesmen
>When Imperial Cult landed they told them to start worshipping a man on a throne and they told them they already were
>Imperial Cult has no idea they're placing offerings to a deactivated man of iron thinking it's a statue of the Emperor
>Guardsman hates technology, thinks cybernetics further man from Emperor's image
>Actual player is great guy, always have a laugh

Priest
>Good at solving problems
>Understands setting very well
>Australian, has that mad cunt sense of humour
>Doesn't take much active participation in the game, lets others lead when it makes sense for his character to be taking charge at points

Techpriest
>Prays to the Omnissiah every day
>Doesn't afraid of anything
>Bit of a troll but all in character, doesn't care much for other players

I've known these guys for about 7 years now, we all know each other's sense of humour. First time GMing with them though and we have some great moments. The party went to a bunkhouse but there was only a family room available, Techpriest and Priest go into adult single beds whereas guardsman has to try and fit into child bed. We joke that the duvet is really brightly coloured with pictures of the primarchs in a cartoon style on it and he's trying to get to sleep whilst the Priest tries to out-pray the Techpriest in a shouting match. Good times.

Cyberpunk + Hotline Miami game, mostly with my old friends from college:

Shooter - businessman, bald, twin guns, you know the drill. Newbie, still getting used to roleplaying. Nice to have a fresh face and approach once in a while.

Ninja-Hacker - risk-taker, creative, player is a gigantic munchkin but also one of my best friends so it's more charming than annoying.

Rigger - good roleplayer, gets into character, rolls with the punches, reliable guy. Just don't give him a spellcaster PC, he will dominate any game.

Face - social implants out the wazoo, cautious, self-preserving, player is methodical and calculating, plans well.

Soldier - hulked out on cyberware, intellectual but plays a dummy, tries to be /k/ but needs more work, top smarts.

I like playing with all these guys, so good times all around.

They sound like great groups. It's nice to see positivity on /tg/.

Feels like sometimes we get too focussed on complaining about the shit aspects of our hobby.

>GM
I've been playing with him for over four years now and he is a nice dude. Knows how to run a campaign well though he lacks the confidence to run OC due to bad experiences in the early days. Shame since he can really improvise when we eventually demolish the adventure path's plans.
>Half-elf summoner
First time player. Seems like a nice guy but the way he made his eidolon his waifu is like the vacuum cleaner sketch in Whitest Kids You Know. Currently plays from a mental institution due to depression I guess. You wouldn't notice it if you didn't know about it.
>Human Oracle
Summoner players friend from aforementioned institution. Though I first feared he was coo coo for coco puffs he's also alright. Bit of a speech impediment and constantly uses english despite the fact that we all speak the same language. He's also a first time player.

Part of a 5e party here, as well. Currently at level 2.

>Half-Elf Fighter, Chaotic Good
Emphasis on Chaotic, but actually played well, believe it or not. Generally hates authority, but thoroughly tempers it with common sense and is more than happy to work with authority figures so long as he isn't being ordered around. Played by the only player with previous D&D experience. Has a whip made from a tentacle that he wants to reanimate.

>Dragonborn Sorcerer, Chaotic Good
Chaotic less for hatred of authority and more for acting on whims. Player is generally acknowledged to be the party comedian, and his character is actually entertaining rather than lolrandom. Equally happy to talk enemies down or burn them up. Brings excellent snacks and always has some truly magnificent puns at the ready.

>Human Druid, Neutral Good
Generally does a stellar job at cranking out damage. Not much roleplaying on his part, but he tries, and as a general rule his actions stay in-character.

>Elf Ranger, Chaotic Good
Mistakenly though that she didn't roleplay the character, turns out I was wrong. Absolutely nails the elven haughtiness, but doesn't let it get in the way of tracking and killing evil things. Sister of the Sorcerer's player; doesn't joke as much, but typically has at least one magnificent line per session.

>Dwarf Cleric of Moradin, Lawful Good
Basically the sane one. VERY little roleplaying, but like the Druid's player, she tries. Has saved the party on multiple occasions with those sweet Cleric heals. Wife of the Fighter's player.

>Half-Orc Paladin of Heironeous, Lawful Good
My character. I think I play him well, but obviously I'm biased. I try to keep all my actions in-character, which generally leads to me doing impractical things like using Lay On Hands on a critically injured peasant even though the day was far from over and the Cleric was running low on spells.

5e Tamriel with some homebrewed stuff

Ohmes, Unearthed arcana ranger
>very enthusiastic
>tends not to take RP very seriously
>very new player
>pretty inventive in combat
>character is pretty much Blake, his waifu from RWBY
>comes up with the absolute stupidest plans

Dagi-raht, beastmaster taking levels in bard
>very good at RP
>good at picking up quests and telling when I have to start improvising because they've gone off track
>great knowledge of rules and actually looked up a bunch of lore on the imperial library because they weren't familiar with TES

These guys are both my flatmates. small party plus knowing when we're all free makes game flow super fast and playing super easy.

Also since I didn't say it in the last post, we are playing PF.
>Elf spellsword
GM's brother. I don't like him. This is the third character he plays in this campaign and he is really disruptive. Very self centered and "woe is me" personality. Needs to be treated with silk gloves because HE is the one with suffering in his life. Once made us choose between him and another player because "he couldn't stand him". We kicked him out for being a shit head who just drops something like that on us and being a jerk in general but now he's back because he is GM's brother and the other guy isn't in this group. Welp.
>Orc kinetisit
Nice person but so dependent on his family it's annoying. Has a retard brother who constantly screams in the background. This guy is an adult man like the rest of us but he still lives with his family and puts all kinds of minor family shit before us. I guess that is a lovable trait, but it's fucking annoying to organize a game around his lbullshit.
