Same boat for me. I switched to GURPS and it's been fine for 10 years now.

You get the occasional blip like that too, but it's a bit easier to deal with. Often due to using the default 'lite' rules by accident in the Chargen software, resulting super cheap armor suits of leather that somehow cover the eyes...

>GM: "I made a mistake while designing that homebrew magic item, I need to change its stats and tone it down so it doesn't unbalance the game.

I once encountered something like that, but it was doubly bad, as we were playing a short little dungeon romp to help a friend playtest his homebrew system. I'm not sure where these people come from.

>>49682408
>I'm not sure where these people come from.
How are people like this even made? How does a person get so bad? It's a grown-ass man, throwing an infantile fucking tantrum over losing a pretend toy in a game of pretend. In my case, not even losing a toy, just getting a slightly worse one. What kind of upbringing do these people have? Did their parents never say no to them? Christ, I bet if I studied this I could write a university psych thesis on these awful people.

I hate the immaturity of many in the community.


I had a player throw a fit because he got downed last game. The party rogue charged into dangerous murky waters to save him then the next fight he told the rogue to save himself when the exact same situation occurred because "the rogue let him get downed in the first place".

This happened out of character. His PC is neutral, not evil. The player wasn't kidding.

>>49682745
Well to be fair, the rogue is obviously the defender/healer role whose job it is to take care of you even when you're dumb.

>>49682745
I've noticed "complaining about immature players" is kind of a running theme in threads like these. Reading this shit makes me all the more thankful for finding a good group, even if getting six adults together in the same place at the same time is about as easy as catching smoke.

The war gamers in my area are either lazy bastards or will sabotage your games simply because it's not a game they want to play but you've got two forces play with and you're trying to drum up players for it.

no wonder the local gaming club bled players with that shit going on.

one of the worst offenders of this has now tried to start a new cub in "coffee shop" had one decent night but went down hill after that it's barely a mtg and infinity circle jerk.

It pisses you off because:

1) The man was so unimaginative that he didn't know anything else than violence.
2) He refused to think about other options than violence.
3) In-game, a man commited suicide over being asked a question, implying that there was a madman that was probably never inconviniensed or questioned on his actions for years and when that happened he lost his marbles.

And the above is shit.

>>49682845
I'm a player who's always on his phone. Why? Because my GM constantly splits the party and focuses on each player for half an hour before moving on to the next one. Fuck you if you expect me to pay attention to shit where my character isn't even present.

Why would I ever play a game that costs me $5,000 when I can play one that costs me less than $20, including deck protectors and printer ink?

Because you can just spend $20 on magic cards, build whatever deck you can afford, and have fun with your friends. The format doesn't need to be sol ring into mana vault into mana crypt nonsense, it can be, but it doesn't need to be. I just want to have fun with people who put time and effort into their decks.

>>49682767
>finding a good group
I had to make my own. Started DMing when I knew over a dozen people I thought were cool. Weeded out the assholes over a few years. Now I've got a solid group of six people. Though scheduling conflicts mean I can only run a game for four of them at a time.

>>49684340
Ok, but why does time and effort have to mean money? Your complaint and your goals have nothing to do with each other.

>>49684340
The problem you have there is that if you have a bunch of people in your playgroup, some of which make mad dosh, and others who are broke-ass students, so the people put "time and effort" into their decks have a whole buncha highly competitive decks, which the broke-ass students can have difficulty competing against.

Nobody runs proxies in my group, so you're pretty limited against people who are gonna spend a lot of money.

Had a story similar to this;

>DM is running a "East meets West" style game and encourages very routed weeaboo or westaboo classes, preferably martial
>Allows the book of weeaboo magic for the East and spellswords/paladins for the West for some magical substance
>I make an honoroabru monk/swordsage thing (I'm not even a weeb, I just like kungfu shit)
>Bro and usually good player runs a paladin, so we can have mild and amusing "moral conflicts"
>Rest of party is Knight, Barbarian, and some sort of samurai variant thing
>Our usual That Guy demands to play a Sorcerer
>A Chaotic Neutral sorcerer
>DM caves in and lets him do it
>Two sessions in and the sorcerer is throwing his weight around, holding over our head he's got us beat in the power department Yes, we tried talking like adults OOC; fuck you /tg/ chaotic neutral apologists
>Paladin bro starts to turn to the That side and tries to get me to kill him, as I'm probably the only player there who minmaxed enough to maybe kill the sorcerer
>I refuse, as though he pisses me off, it's not ruining the story... yet
>And it's fucking "DISHONORABRU!"
>Paladin bro goes full That Guy and bitches to the DM paladins aren't strong enough to kill sorcerers and he needs a buff
>DM agrees to an extent, as he's actually afraid of That Sorerer Guy trying to kill him (though why he didn't boot a player like that is beyond me)
>Homebrews him a "defensive" Paladin who could shrug off some magic damage and does a bit more
>I'm not a fan, but I rationalize it's a deterrent and the paladin was kind of weak anyway
>Next session starts, and immediately the paladin provokes the sorcerer to try and justify self defense, then attacks first anyway
>Sorcerer kills him with ease
>Now full That Guy paladin bro throws a fit
>Apparently it's my fault for not killing the sorcerer, and the DM for making the homebrew too weak
>Storms out, and the game ends there

I don't know who was more in the wrong that game, but fuck

>>49687168

As someone who has run and played in a large group, what the fuck are you doing?

I don't blame the dude for bringing a PSP, he's most likely left in the lurch when it isn't his turn so he doesn't even bother trying to get a word in edgewise.

>>49687413
It was his first session and he brought 2 PSPs not for sharing, he played them both.

>>49687465

He probably though "it's 8 people, he won't even notice I'm there."

It's the same reason why people pay for classes but still take out laptops and smartphones to goof off during class.

Don't do this. Two drunk people of opposite gender don't automatically fuck. Stripping agency from players when it comes to character actions is always bad, and apparently they were taking it seriously enough to care about their characters.

>>49690958

Probably not, actually. I can't tell without a diagram of the pieces and pawns and their position, but a good defense can usually avoid mate for 25-30 turns against the KNB.

Whereas a pawn takes about 5 turns to queen if you're starting from the initial rank, and usually another 10-12 moves for the KQ mate itself.

Alcohol is a poison (so fort check) and getting drunk greatly influences behavior. Lack of inhibitions can make a person do something they would never normally do.

Or should casting a Calm Monster spell never work, either?

>>49699368
Lack of inhibitions will effect everyone differently. Why did you decide that they suddenly fuck the bard? Maybe she'd just get really truthful or really angry. The player who made the character would be in a good position to decide how they would react.

And spells that strip agency are rare and limited for a reason. They are not fun.

>>49699368
Lack of inhibitions means they act on their inner desires, which are not decided by you unless you gave them premade characters of your own making for some reason. It is up to the person who made the character what their personality and inner desires are. Most players CAN roleplay as drunk versions of characters without GM taking full control you know.

Do you enjoy this? No, really. Tell me honestly. Are you having fun shitting up the thread by being such a cunt? Someone takes time out of their day to relate a story and all you can do is shitpost "hurr durr din happen". You have no way to know. You have no reason to doubt it. You have no proof. You haven't even made an argument for why you think it's false. You're just being a contrarian little spergmeister who thinks it's clever and cool to say you don't believe it. I bet that was you posting the same shit earlier too. Maybe you've got some retarded nihilistic philosophy that you think backs you up - that shit's pretty typical for edgy teen contrarians these days. Now that I think about it though, it's more likely you're a mouthbreathing fatbeard wheezing away on a burrito-stained couch in mom's basement, one foot lost to diabetes and the other a fungus-riddled biohazard, lazily posting shit on 4chan because it's the one place where you think you can act like an alpha. Well not any more, bucko. This anon isn't going to put up with your horseshit, and I'm going to ride your ass every time you surface. You thought this board was your playground? Guess again. No more Easy Mode posting for you. I know you're afraid of me btw. Oh, you'll try some casual-looking damage control but I've seen it all before. When you respond to me I'll immediately recognize each sentence, each word, each letter, for exactly what they are: desperate cries for help. Unfortunately for you that's help that's never coming. As far as this board's concerned, your time is over. Get ready to be crushed, because this is how it's going to be from now on: you getting buried under a mountain of hard rekt, unable to reach even 10% of my verbal dexterity, and with no-one coming out to take your side.

Honestly, the minmaxing and theorycrafting is only part of it. I can understand wanting to do that, it's kinda fun, but I also want my players to make CHARACTERS when they play. You can make a powerful or optimized character that's also got a compelling personality and background, but it feels like nobody who plays 3.PF does that at all anymore.

The part that really pisses me off is the player's reaction, how the dumb motherfucker just couldn't comprehend that some material was just plain not allowed in the game or didn't exist in the setting.

>bad player's face when the book his build is centered around is banned

Your last sentence is a longer self /thread.

You fucking suck

We are playing a 5e campaign and was at first a home brew.we are all having fun, grand epic quest at level 4, we all have an artifact. A few levels in our gm mentions he really wants to do tyranny of dragons. So we all nod and agree. He states that our artifacts are far too strong and he will have to remove them, but wI'll give us some compensation for them. That's fine to us, we are in it to have fun. Our one player who has never even used his artifact before agrees to it as well.

Day comes, we willingly surrender our artifacts. Previous player who never used it before has a sudden nervous breakdown and states we never told him, despite spending most of the prior session discussing it.

>He's 17.
>second youngest player is 25.
>25 year old is a first time player, doing very well in role play and combat. Doesn't mind losing his artifact for the sake of having actual challenge.
>17 year old claims to have been playing since 3e, has no knowledge of most spells, rolled to hit for magic missile until I told him it always hits, he just rolls damage. Knows NOTHING about tactics in combat.

any dm worth any amount of salt tries to keep the session going in a way that despite the PCs doing separate things it'll more or less coincide with advancing the game/story.

If you're not interested enough to follow along what someone else's doing for 5-10 minutes before ir comes back to you, then don't play TTRPGs and go back to your single player rpg games that make it all about you.

>>49691406
>ffs you are a part of creating a scene just like the GM
If your character isn't there for whatever reason, I'd say it's understandable to not pay attention. I actually prefer players to leave the room when their characters aren't there, since it cuts down on players knowing more than their characters.

If this isn't a situation where that's not relevant, I'd say paying attention is slightly more polite than not, but it's a pretty small difference.

Either way, it's more polite (to everyone) to not split the party.

>>49682260
Something along this lines came up in a game I played.

One of the players got to design a magical item for his character as a reward, the rest got randomized stuff. Then he began to complain because the item he himself designed was underpowered compared to the ones we got randomly.

>>49705629
To be fair, I could see how that would be annoying.

He likely tried to drop the power level of his custom item to about as powerful as he expected everyone else to get, so as to not overshadow anyone, and then he got overshadowed because of it.

That said, I don't know the specifics so maybe his was more useful to him since he designed it for his character while everyone else got powerful stuff that only kind of applied to them.

I am worried I have a furfag in my game, there are no signs except his avatar, and I can't determine if it's ironic or genuine but if he's for real I need to eject his ass pronto...

Not everybody is comfortable playing with people with a bestiality fetish.

Scat fetishists don't give themselves a cute nickname like "poopies" and use diarrhea on their avatars only to complain that "it's like we're jews and you're hitler" or "it's ok, it's only HALF shit".

Generally, nobody wants to hear about your fetish, especially when they go into super weird oh shit nigger what are you doing territory, which furry does, sorry it does, normal people jerk off to humans of whatever gender, not willie fucking coyote.

>>49706841
and you know, I agree with all that, but let's play devil's advocate here, and pretend that maybe the guy that anon was talking about just happens to like the artist?

I mean shit, I currently have my skype pic as Erma from the same-titled webcomic. I don't like horror, and I don't want to fuck little girls or little ghost girls, but I still have an erma pic because I like the webcomic.

...and even if they are a furry, if their roleplaying has nothing to do with furshit, they don't talk about furshit, and literally the only indicator that they like furshit is their profile pic, who's really the one causing issues in the group over furfaggotry?

When was the last time you heard of a guy who just so happened to enjoy being a gimp was kicked out of a group because it was revealed upon prying and investigation that he was into being a gimp, exclusively based on the fact he had something involving leather as his profile picture?

Still, no dice.
If you knew you had a pedo in your group, and a genuine one, not the "i-like-cartoon-midgets" type, would you feel comfortable introducing little girl characters? Where, for some players, the motivation is father instincts, for this guy it will be "sexual object".
When I say "here's the werewolf, drool is coming off his silvery fangs, his fur glistens through the snow, he's 10 foot tall and could easily overpower you if you're not careful" - I want the players to feel danger, fear, understand that a more tactical approach is needed to take this down.

Dog-people are still half dog, anon.
If you were talking about monstergirls I could give you some leeway, but here we're talking about walking animal humanoids: their face is that of an animal, their skin texture is 100% animal, they're bipedal, but their bodytype is still, essentially, animal.

For someone that's "not a furry", you sure are very invested in defending them.

I run like this. There's only been one time I've played in a game like this, and the DM allowed me a feat from Sandstorm that powered up Earth spells and desiccation spells. Since there aren't a ton of useful Earth spells, I asked if I could cobble my spell list together from any book with Earth spells (since that was all I was using). I asked, and he agreed. As a DM I'm okay with this, too. Shitty ass players just ignoring guidelines are the worst.

You're basing it off the assumption that all fetishes are the same simply for being fetishes.

I already emphasized that monstergirls aren't my fetish, but if you think wanking it to a mermaid is the same as blowing your load to fish creatures from lovecraft, just because both involve lewd touching of the rape joystick, then you're retarded or hypocritical.

>Things that piss you off in gaming.

People who play miniature wargames or pen and paper role-playing games "competitively" and minmax and shit.

There are soooo many videogames or boardgames made for playing to win, where everyone is on equal footing or where talking about builds, metagame etc is actually relevant. And still some people prefer torpedoing the fun of the normal people who play role-playing games to role-play and miniature wargames because they like painting little dudes and fighting with them.

Play some Arcadia quest, battle lore, starcraft, tekken, whatever the fuck you want where winning actually means something if you want to be "competitive" but please understand that when you do it in Hobby games or immersion games you are essentially telling everyone that you'd rather take advantage of people looking to have fun than square off against someone who's looking for a fight.

Anyone can make a brutal build or netlist, it's not hard, there's no part of it that's trickier than adding 10+10, but still these fuckers will gloat like they've accomplished something when they win a game that was over before it started.
They mistake their inability to display any smidgeon of humanity while writing lists/building character for some kind of skill.

>How about we play some chess or Chaos In the Old World or something?

>No thanks, I prefer games where I can abuse the social contract to beat up on people who are looking to have fun.

Why not just go all out and do other irrelevant shit competitively? RUN across the crosswalk when there's a green light and scream SUCK IT NERDS at the people who walk? Go into a playground and show the little kids how to SANDBOX competitively. CRUSH someone's grip when you introduce yourself and just shout OWNED and cartwheel out of there.
Because apparently nothing is sweeter than beating people who aren't competing.

>>49709341
>People who play miniature wargames or pen and paper role-playing games "competitively" and minmax and shit.

OK, roleplaying games, of course, but isn't the POINT of wargames to be competitive?

>>49709358
Sort of. If you move outside the beer and pretzals stuff you find that while All wargames involve a simulated conflict, players aren't always competing.

Guess what? The ravens were wereravens in the published adventure but we had no way of knowing that. The DM did the smart thing though and said 'Nope, they are just regular ravens. Enjoy your bird flu, lower your con score by 1d6 for the next three sessions'.

Still, don't read ahead as the PC, man. Shitty, shitty thing to do.

WHY would you ever choose miniature wargames if you were looking for something competitive?

Anyone who wants to pick up say, warhammer 40k and play to win, should just get pic related for 100 dollars and be set for life, with a game that doesn't involve painting unless you want to, and is a lot more tactical than moving space marines forward and rolling a bucket of d6.

Or even better, just play starcraft or something and have an actual fight against opponents of equal skill instead of traveling for 30 minutes and spending 2 hours ruining some kid's evening.

>>49709358
The point of wargames is to give nerds an excuse for painting toy soldiers and companies a way of convincing someone to buy 20 of the same model.

If you're not into the hobby side of miniature wargames, you're absolutely choosing the wrong type of game to play, which is a mystery to me why anyone would want.

It's like playing an instrument to get girls. I'm sure someone can pull it off by playing the flute, but don't you agree he's kind of retarded for not just going with a guitar instead?
