>>50250681
Yes. I had a good game for 1 year. Then one guy had to drop out for family reasons. The new guy I recruited was so instantly hated by everyone else that they all dropped out within 2 sessions. We eventually reconstituted the group without That Guy after a 6 month hiatus.

This is why my group has a strict no hangers-on policy. No waifus, gfs, bfs, parents, preachers, parole officers... If they aren't playing the game, they don't need to be there.

It makes for a much less drama-filled and more productive session.

Once, I ran a game online for two randoms I met up on the Internet for about three months or so. We had a regular schedule and we had, like, more than 20 4-5 hour sessions in that timespan. It was great fun for everyone involved, and we honestly had a lot of good fun.
One day, I failed to login, because I didn't feel like running the game. I've never logged in since. It has been over two years since then. I didn't run a single game ever since.

I had a group where half the party acted like they were to cool to be playing a tabletop game while the other half was to passive to get the game moving.

>>50252425

An argument started over who owed what for the pizza guy's tip and two of the guys just lost their fucking minds and started bringing up basically every wrong either had ever committed before circling back to some girl they were fighting over(which I presume was the real cause all along). Things got physical and since one of them was 6'5 and ripped as fuck and the other most certainly wasn't any of those things, it ended with a pretty savage chair-beating.

>>50252546
Is adult onset autism a thing? If so, I will set up a gofundme and you guys will give me a thousand bucks so I can afford a real nice test. Maybe I am autistic, but I don't have the money or the time to get tested again.

My mere presence torpedoed a game once. My then-girlfriend had been RPing with a group at her college for awhile, all of the other players were none-too-subtly crushing on her, one guy got gropey and my girlfriend invited me to start attending games with her.

Long story short one of the other players tried to hit her and got arrested, I was out of practice with D&D and didn't fit in well with the rest of the party, another guy got pissed at me and told the DM either I left or he did, DM told me to stop coming, girlfriend quit the group in protest, another guy quit the group, entire campaign fell apart and group never got back together before girlfriend graduated and we moved out of state.

Still feel bad about it, my now-wife hasn't played a tabletop RPG since.

I just hung up on them, and wrote off the place we had been playing as unusable for 6 months. I know that WoD players aren't the most amicable group, but I've taken plenty rough/new players through learning how to play. I've played with a random wearing fake fangs who asked we call him by his character name out of game. I've played with a literal autist who barely spoke above a whisper, and never in 6 months looked me in the eyes. I would take all of my former 'worst' players over the group I just played with.

I've talked with a friend who also runs WoD about it, and she had the same problems start up a few years ago. She tried to start an all new player game of D&D, and even that was just a nightmare.

What the fuck is with the new blood now?

My brother had some people from his work that wanted to play D&D 5e so I said I would DM them. There were four players, all new.

One guy was this fat babyfaced dweeb who spoke a mile a minute and was super excited. Whatever, that's fine.

I decide to just do a premade because everyone is pretty new to the rules and RPGs in general, so we start to introduce the characters in an inn. Most players are just brooding/dark/misunderstood whatevers, but babyface is a Dragonborn with Red Dragon lineage and completely min/maxed to be a pure Charsima/Persuasion/Intimidation build. I started them out at level 5. I didn't really care about balance or long-term planning because this was supposed to just be an introduction game to the rules.

Babyface went first.

The FIRST thing he said: "I want to seduce the bartender." The FIRST fucking thing. I said, uh, ok, roll persuasion. FUCKING NATURAL 20. I sighed and had the bartender come back over to the table and start talking with him. Cue 5 minutes of super awkward conversation and then he went upstairs with her. I said "Ok you both go into one of the rooms." I tried to switch the action back to the other players, but the dude kept asking, "What happens next?" It was insane. I said, "Well, you bang the shit out of her with your nasty dragon dick, right?" and he started roaring with laughter. Like, he's beet red and laughing hysterically to the point where he can't breathe. No one else is laughing. I'm starting to think this kid has mental issues. After this he got the group to go from building to building, trying to bang every woman in sight. When the group members protested, he would intimidate/persuade them and win the rolls.The other players were pissed. And he horribly, awkwardly tried to get me to roleplay the seduction out with him.

First and last game I DM'ed for them.

It's something I first saw on /v/. OP would post a picture of the character Kazuhira Miller from Metal Gear and ask "What's his name again?"

People would then give him racially inflammatory nicknames.

Kaz "Fulton a coon and I'll shoot the balloon" Miller
Kazuhira "Empty my 9 on the Welfare Line" Miller
Kaz "Only one race on Mother Base" Miller

etc., etc., etc.

I had just started an eberron game via irc, and 2 of the players were in a long distance relationship. Shortly into the relationship the girl dumped the guy and started 'dating' one of the other players. The kerfluffle caused the 3 players to all drop out which almost killed the game. Thankfully I was able to salvage the situation by bringing in a few friends for fresh blood, and the campaign continued for another 2 or so yeas before we finished it.

I was GMing a two-timelines campaign about timetraveling to prevent a phyrexian-like apocalypse in a spanish inquisition western world, and i had a group of players for each timeline.

I had an edgy pyromaniac, a paranoid gunslinger, a randumb gunslinger making overly complex plans, a onedimensional warrior bitch, and an opportunist scholar.

I was expecting two guys in particular, one per timeline (bitch and pyromaniac), to be the weak link of the chain.
I was trying my best to keep stuff understandable but still mysterious for everyone. I didn't want them to get bored when they didn't get all the connections between timelines, or for them not to understand clues for more plotlines to come.

I was wrong. The obnoxious or edgy players weren't the ones who derailed the story and burned it to the ground. They simply followed the events as they unfolded as they had found interest in a coherent partecipation.

The paranoid guy instead went control-freak and needed to take account of everything, build infrastructures, organize a stable economy plan for the group, start an industry of anachronistic special weaponry to stockpile weapons and money to bribe and rebuild the world, and plan out every possible action before actually making a single move.

Realize that I didn't ban any of his options, and let him do as he pleased, believing he'd finally feel safe enough to actually start adventuring again and going on with the plotlines. He was my friend and I had RPed a lot with him and some of the others, which cared for the story at this point. I believed this line of action would have interesting repercussions and never really plotted too much ahead, except for some important, unavoidable plot points. I was always improvisational and it was fun for everyone, or so I believed.
Then one day the paranoid guy told us outta nowhere he couldn't play anymore. I rescheduled for next week, but he decided to let me know 'he couldn't handle the rpg pressure anymore'.

Cont.

It goes back a bit farther than that, from the days of Ben "The One Man Klan" Garrison.

My worst failure as a DM was in my most recent game. I ran a system I didn't know well but always wanted to run. All the players were experts in the system. I set the game in a city that, as it turns out, tow of the players lived in but I had never been to. I wanted to run a low power game in a high power system, the players convinced me to run a higher power game. After running the game and getting to know the players, they were all successful professionals, while I was and currently am not. Two of the players were wonderful, but the game stopped when one player pissed me off so much I stopped the session and delayed the next week. I told them I couldn't keep running the game as my schedule changed, and it did, but I also don't want to run with half those people anymore. That was nearly 2 years ago. Last I heard, they were all doing well and running games together.

>>50254321
I asked him what he meant with that and he explained that he was feeling too 'involved in the plot'. He was keeping a notebook with all equipment, a log of his character's notes for each important day in-game, and an actual diary.
I was surprised by this level of involvement, even flattered, but in a way freaked out. he was the reasonable guy in the group, he was supposed to just act as a paranoid guy.
This level of care for details was a bit exaggerated for him. No one ever asked him to do anything beyond what the others did, but the social interactions in-game, the diplomacy between the groups in the different timelines had, in his words, 'an effect on him'. He said he was feeling too 'emotional' and 'pumped up' for his own sake.

I was sad for this stupid, weird turn of events. Everyone was having fun and feeling involved to a level they felt adequate, and the one leaving was feeling bad for that exact same reason, despite not being forced in any way towards that way.
The game died without him as the others felt a sudden disappearence or any other way would be forced and pointless. We tried to ask him to come back but he always refused.

I got really fucking angry when, several months later, I discovered he had just joined a theatre group. His explaination was that he felt theatre practice was 'really liberating'. I openly discussed the difference between acting and RPGing, and when he realized I wouldn't buy any of his excuses, he just said: 'Anon, I just don't like it anymore. I feel like I've grown up and when I look back I find it futile and childish. I liked playing with you guys though.'

That made me question the way I was growing up, how some of the others eventually grew further away from the old connections and groups. It was a hard blow back then.
I believed, and still believe, in the way RPGs can give some fulfillment through a purposeful story or just some laughs and good times when I play with friends.

What part? The, "made sure some group of potentially grab-happy douche-nozzles didn't do anything shitty," part? Or the, "my now-wife hasn't played a tabletop RPG since," part?

Because the former isn't anything to feel sorry for, the dissolution of the group is an unavoidable side-effect, and the latter is easy to fix; just invite her to your game night and run a system she's familiar with.

Yeah, I invited a good friend from another game I played in into the game I was running to replace departing players. He and I got along super well, couldn't imagine it being a problem. Another guy in the group just instantly disliked him, and spent the entire game arguing with and antagonizing him, getting offended by everything he did, complaining and bitching about him between games and bad mouthing him to other players. I seriously don't have a fucking clue what his problem with the guy was. It came on so fast there wasn't even time for the guy to have done something to upset him.

The entire game fell apart because they could not stop feuding. The older player eventually spilled this over into other games the new guy wasn't even involved in, becoming generally abrasive and obnoxious to other players. Ultimately I jettisoned him from the group entirely. The whole thing was bizarre. Prior to that, he had always been slightly annoying, but no more so than most of my friends, and never a problem player.

The girls in the group said they thought he was jealous of the other guy, and that he was acting like a girl who was bitchy about a hotter girl joining the group. Another friend of his said he was having trouble with his girlfriend. I thought it might have been spillover influence from another player he had become roommates with. But I still don't really know what his deal was.

>>50252779

I'm not a fan of Trump but politics should be left behind when you game.

I don't care if you're a goddamn Neo-Nazi and want to bring about the Fourth Reich as long as you keep it to yourself while in the game and around the people you game with. We don't need to know and we don't care.

Sometimes people just get a weird vibe from others that makes them instantly dislike them. Best example I can give is from college. I lived in town, with my mother, instead of on campus. One day, while in the store, I ran into someone who was in one off my classes, who struck up a conversation; she was buying mixers for an out of town party she was going to. My mom walks up part-way through, I introduce my mom to her, and notice as I'm doing it that my mom is making this disgusted face.

I later on apologized to her for my mom doing that, and she described it as, "she looked like was about to try to eat her own face off." In retrospect, she wasn't wrong, but that's still pretty hilarious.

It's not about getting annoyed, which was fair, it's the fact that the wife was "voraciously offended" because the guy said she bitched him out, the GM demanded he apologise for it, and the fact that the group "lost the will to live" as a result of his insincere apology.

His excuses are a bit lame too, I only got into RPGs in my adult life (22+)

On the flipside though, tabletop RPGs are a thing where if you just aren't into it anymore, then there isn't any point in continuing.

If you aren't enjoying playing pretend with a load of other people then I guess you just get super-aware of the fact you're all just playing pretend.

>>50256891
Not the guy you're replying to, but I know that feeling. Our group consists of university students and young professionals, the latter being successful people with important corporate jobs. Yet they're still really happy to fight pretend monsters and character act as other people.

I don't know who, if anyone, said that, but it's been something that's bounced around inside my head for a long, long time.

My only story is a bit underwhelming but
> my group
> Me: Compsci major.
> Other Compsci major I invited to replace prevouse player.
> Telecomunications Major: Actually cool guy. Jacked AF and probably the smoothest role-player in the group.
> English Lit Major: 100% fatlus. Just wants to talk about Devil Summoner or play expys of Devil Summoner characters
> Compsci Major: Probably autist. Had no concept of personal space and his character frequently TOOK A SWIG FROM HIS HIP FLASK. Like every 10 fucking seconds MY CHARACTER TAKES A SWIG FROM HIS HIP FLASK.
> is a character distraught? I OFFER HIM A SWIG FROM MY HIP FLASK
> BBEG giving a speech? Hold on while I TAKE A SWIG FROM MY HIP FLASK.

Anyway Telecom Major left for a different campus and and the Compsci dude I invited started ditching every other game due to insane schedule. The DM brought in two a MASSIVE neckbeard to compensate for this and I diched because every fucking session was the same grade 7 autistic jokes and endless discussions of magic the gathering. No one permanently replaced me and the group collapsed a month and a half later due to GM losing his shit with the players.

>>50257383
Clarification: he brought on two dudes but one ditched after 1 session and basically did nothing during the session

Had a guy in our group that was just horrible. He never bathed you could smell him when he entered the store. h would touch my dice all the time now I'm one of the dm's and i have a rule that you only touch my dice if i drop one and you can reach it. he would also constantly hit on/ stalk the two female players that we had to the point that one stopped playing. he could not build a character to save his life we called him one week because his characters typically would only survive that long. we kicked him out and started stalking out group but the owner eventually banned him after he followed an underaged girl into the bathroom.

I once had an encounter that completely destroyed a campaign, and nearly broke the group involved into pieces for years afterwards.

The PCs are in the dungeon of an evil cult which has captured an angel which fell from the heavens. Suddenly, an enormous iron maiden looking thing rises from the floor, and opens to reveal the angel itself, now completely insane and lashing out violently at the party. The party has multiple alignments, including a good monk and a sneaky LE... fighter, I wanna say. Anyways, the party fights the angel, the fighter kills it, and the monk, suddenly, completely loses his shit and attacks the fighter, only to get hideously wrecked by the wizard. Immediately the players break down into OOC bickering that I still don't remember the meaning of, and everybody goes their separate ways for a few weeks. Even afterwards, some of the players refused to ever game with the monk again (and, inevitably, did so).

It's lucky this was an online game, because I honestly believe we would have come to blows over the whole thing if it were IRL.

I always thought it was "Cottontry" but I guess that's British spelling for you.

Never really had a group fall apart, but we did have one that just didn't continue past one session.
Two of our players just couldn't be relied upon to show up on time. They were two hours late for the first session, and after that they just wouldn't commit.
Well, I say they, but it was really just our friends' girlfriend. Truth be told I'm kinda glad it didn't continue, she's a good friend but she can be an abrasive bitch a lot of the time, and we made the mistake of letting her get access to the advanced race guide for Pathfinder and she was shaping up to be a real special snowflake. It was her first time playing, so it's kinda understandable.
Also, she tried to kill me in the first session. Like, I was being mauled by a monster, and she decided to launch a scorching ray at me instead of said monster. Now, there was a bit of in-game logic behind that, we hadn't really formally met as a party yet, we'd all just jumped in to stop this thing rampaging, and I was playing a bug person. We kind of expected this to be a dick around session for awhile, so we all rolled up crazy characters for the hell of it. I think the only thing that made her more "special snowflake" than us was her tragic backstory where she fucked a dragon to save her village and her people threw her out for it. Compared to our backstories of "The surface looks cool," "My Grippli found a gun and became a murderhobo" "Grandpa Blue Dragon told me to go make money" and "Druid" respectively
The DM basically kept repeating "you're going to kill another PC, are you sure you want to kill another PC?" over and over until she clued in that this was frowned upon.

I use the term main storyline loosely. They found a map on their first quest that displayed a location on the other side of the settings world.

They didn't necessarily need to follow it. I simply added it as a means of structure so they could do normal quest stuff and in their downtime when they didnt know what to do they could say "Ohh hey we should follow this".

Then from this "Main storyline" I was able to graft stories attached to it that flowed and connected during their adventure.

In a basic form its like taking the idea of a normal dungeon or mega dungeon crawl. But super imposing it upon the world.

>>50250681
Yup. My most recent gaming group broke up over the election. The guy who was hosting and pur regular DM kicked half the group out for being Trump supporters and the other half just fell apart because the guy who was DMing over half the games we were playing got kicked. Still kind of depressed about it.

Posted this before but the first campaign I ever played ended after the third session when one of the players tried to pretend she was getting possessed by a demon. Like, not in the game. She started chanting and clawing at us irl. Pissed everyone off and we didn't play again for 6 months when we started up again without her.

Literally tore the sheet in half in front of the group. He went on a rant about how that isn't fair for about 30 minutes, teared up, before calling his mom to bring him home.

>>50252779
My group almost had the reverse problem. I'm the only Trump supporter in the group, but they agreed not to talk about how evil drumpf is as long as I didn't brag about Trump's win.
That agreement quickly got chucked when they inevitably started talking shit about Trump, to which I responded by blaring "America fuck yeah!" from my tablet. Thankfully wer're all still friends and game together with few issues.

>dming a game for some friends, and other assorted people who are interesting in starting RPing
>Players:
>The munchkin (playing a wizard)
>the girlfriend (playing an ultra efficient build the munchkin pulled off the internet)
>the asshole (who was also a munchkin, had to pull about 5 things that he "totally didn't know were homebrewed" off his character sheet)
>the social gamer (playing a randomly slapped together character that made no sense and basically did nothing)
>The guy who actually wanted to learn how to play games (simple, boring character, but with a detailed backstory, and some real attempts at roleplaying)
>The girl who actually wanted to learn how to roleplay (unique character concept, consulted experienced players for help, but still made her own character)
>the tumblr social gamer (I don't even remember what they played it, not actually a bad person)

First session was already mostly disastrous, because the asshole was an asshole the whole time, causing the the tumblr and the girlfriend to drop out

The second session, the two munchkins stopped hiding their power levels and started instagibbing encounters, and essentially solving, or ignoring non-combat encounters without any kind of real interaction.

Third session, more of the same. New guy dropped out after this session, after basically not being able to do anything. New girl stuck with it for one more session and then drops. After this the social gamer drops out, because he mostly just wanted to hand out with new guy/girl/tumblr.

This left me with just the munchkin and the asshole. The asshole insisted on continuing with just the two of them, the munchkin had some manner of enjoyment for the presence of others, decided he didn't want to play anymore, and the tragedy ended.

Pretty much every game in which the asshole was present fell apart in the same manner from what I can tell. I never played with them again thankfully. Did manage to eventually get the new guy into a real game. Was fun

>>50251744
Honestly fuck off.

What I consider my worst failure, is that I started a game but I didn't end it.

I played one-on-one with a guy but I couldn't make a decent plot because I realized that I hated the system, that I thought I loved. I liked the setting, I liked the ideas behind the mechanics of the system, but I hated a lot of other rules.

So I scrapped the campaign and told him that I was sorry but I just didn't have the drive to play anymore.

I hate myself for giving him false hope.

>5e Eberron. We play weekly for 6 months, bi-weekly for 6 more. GM is super invested in the game at this point. Game goes mostly fine.
>One day, the guy from Couple C asks girl from Couple B if she'd be interested in a 3-some with Couple C.
>She visibly finds the idea abhorrent and tells her husband about it. C guy and B guy argue.
>C guy tries to meme it off, "lol, i was totally just kidding" (but there's this implied "unless you gunna do it")
>B guy is kinda a drama queen as it is. Everyone knows this is going to be a thing now.
>Have a couple sessions where the guys from Couples B and C sit out.
>Palpable tension everywhere. No one has fun.
>Group unravels. The year-long campaign goes entirely unresolved.
>Shit gets super catty. Couple C breaks up, allegedly because C guy was more interested in a 3-some than a real relationship.
>Couple B gets divorced after being married less than a year. Mostly because the guy is a manchild and drama queen.

>>50253718
>I've had problems with folk playing it like a video game and just not roleplaying.
I've never run a game, but my current GM solved this problem by running adventures with a lot of problem-solving elements rather than just combat. Like puzzles, dungeoneering, intrigue, planning heists, etc.. It teaches players good habits - to ask questions, to be creative, and to look for solutions outside of the obvious, which a lot of vidya-savvy newcomers to TTRPGs tend not to do.

Plus, those kinds of things are where TTRPGs really shine in relation to video games, so why not focus on them when giving someone their first taste of TTRPGs?

TLDR;
Brother was a dick to everyone
Got killed in the game
Had a meltdown

Damn strait.
Had a that guy for a minute in my current group.
Always brought his live in gf.
Gf didn't play.
Just took up a seat at the table.
Table get's cramped af cause 7 players + myself.
After 2 sessions tell him she can't be at the table unless she's playing.
She still hangs on and just watches TV/fucks off on my wifi cause they're poor potheads with no internet.
He works and she "makes pipes to sell on Etsy" but they smoke an ounce a week when being conservative potheads.
It evidently got him so buttmad he TPKed the party.
Made a comment 2 days later "I did what I set out to do"
Tried to show up for next session and said we should just sandbox play. That's what HE prefers anyways. Aka just fucking about/murderhoboing on the fly.
Everyone is still pissed at him.
Confronted him about that comment and told him he wasn't welcome to play because that's immature as fuck and wasted everyone's time.
Picked up previous campaign.
Get's all pissed and leaves.
The following week cops show up because they got an anonymous call about a domestic at my house.
2 of my players smoke herb and I'm ok with it at the table.
One ownes up to it.
Tell cop the call was bullshit and explain who it probably was.
2 grills there obviously aren't getting their asses kicked
Cop lets player off cause it was like .8 gram and figures out he's not driving after.
Still went through over an hour of bullshit.
That was the last game of that particular section of the campaign and it got cut short.
3 of the players are off at 2 different colleges for 5 more weeks.
In the time being though I've cleared out and cleaned up my garage (4 car)
Purchased party tables and chairs for our kickoff session when school's over.
So it was my screwup letting a that guy join up.
I figured he could get into the swing of the rest of the group.
If I see that fucker again I'm going to knock his fucking teeth out though.
Pretty much got him blacklisted from all of the local groups in my city at the game shops.

It's not the guy's responsibility to raise their kids for em, if they don't want them to ever get a whiff of a bad word (as if that can be done in the age of television and the internet), then take proactive measures. If you are going to have a grown up gathering get a babysitter and hold the meetings somewhere else, have someone take them to the movies or a friends house for a sleep over or something. Making other people alter their behavior for YOUR kids is a dick move, as is crying about how "offended" you are that someone pointed out your behavior is dickish and then demanding an apology is a dick move too.

Even after all that there's the fact that they were complaining about it, not because he has some deep-seated moral objection to a curse word, but because they didn't want their kid to swear in public and make 'em "look bad".

Regardless of whether or not you think it's a shitty rule, if you agree to follow the rule, you should fucking follow the rule. If you mess up you should try to do better. If you repeatedly mess up then you're either not trying or not suited for an environment with such rules.

Don't agree to rules you can't follow.

I had a campaign break down at the very end once, but it was still super disheartening.

>The party finally defeats the BBEG and mostly foils his plan but there is still lots of destruction he caused
>BBEG is a spirit of a lost kingdom possessing a young girl trying to bring back his lost people
>BBEG is genuinely remorseful for what he's done when it fails and the paladin wants to try to redeem him, having always sought redemption for his own misdeeds and seeing a kindred soul in the BBEG
>The warlock has a pact with the vengeful force that destroyed the BBEG's kingdom and needs to see the vessel killed so his patron can reclaim the BBEG or else the warlock's own soul is forfeit. Everyone in the party knows this.
>The rogue wants to exorcise the spirit and save the young girl, who was a ritual sacrifice they failed to saved many months ago. He has seen that as their biggest failure for a long time.
>Finally, after a year and a half long campaign the party is at odds with each other and convictions will be tested.
>They argue about it out of character for hours and get so fed up with each other that they all just refuse to make a decision
>Furthermore, the other two players hate the paladin player forever for being so unyielding in his insistence that anyone can be redeemed.

Unjust wanted them to role play their disagreement in character... I mean, it was nice that I've never had players try to attack each other over petty disagreements before but when the story warrants it is another matter.

I guess I'll be the only person with a brain here. He never said the kid was at the table, you all just assumed that. When I was younger and my parents had friends over, I would sit by my door and listen to what they were all saying.

Regardless, if someone asks you to do something AND YOU AGREE TO IT, then they're reasonable for getting upset when you don't follow through. Yeah not cursing can be lame, but he should have the decency to respect people's wishes provided they don't interfere with his ability to live. If he didn't want to not curse, then he didn't have to agree.

But let's be real, if you are a guest in someone's home, their wife and/or kid is very likely to be around at some point. If you're too much of an autist to mind your fucking manners after multiple warnings, you deserved to get slagged off for it.

Starts off rocky. Assamite player dropped out pretty much right away (good riddance honestly). Tremere scumlord convinces Lasombra player that it'd be a good idea for them to diablerize Lucita and Anatole.

>fuck that

They do it while I'm standing aside not taking part. Tremere frenzies during the fight so I torpor him. He quits the game (good riddance) so I diablerize him and proceed to pretend he never existed.

Next two players are a Malkavian and a Ventrue. Things proceed fantastically with no more murderhobo shit. Malkavian kind of annoying but in a proper Malkavian way. He ends up picking a fight with Mary the Black in Constantinople and gets rekt. In character we never figured out what happened to him but there was much turmoil so we think nothing of it.

Good game. We finished when our characters got too powerful (specifically our Abyss Mystic lassy)

Not the world. Someone invited into their own home, asked multiple times to stop cursing. Is it really that hard to not curse? On a semi related side note, I've always found cursing to be a good barometer of someone's intelligence. The stupid person has to use curse words in substitution of other words since they don't have the proper vocabulary to express themselves.

You need to add names (even fake names) to this story. "Bestie" and "Asshat" are too hard to keep track of

It's funny how people can make it all the way to the age of majority without realizing this.

Cyberpunk game. Swearing forbidden. Wife is playing instead of making sandwiches and shutting the fuck up.

You SJWs are fucking cancer!

If you don't want swearing and cursing, don't play cyberpunk. Play Pendragon or CoC, but not a game of high-tech/low-life.

>>50264431
Don't answer to them. They just get triggered by people that have their lives sorted out and are violent towards anyone that has passed his genes, something they can't even fathom as possible.

So when they hear anything related to good parenting, they short circuit. It's a concept completely alien to them, caring about someone that isn't their flubby pimply ass.

My first group, begun when I was 16. I started some oWoD, 3 players. Played for about a year and a half, when I burned out and hid my notes. Told everyone I lost them. One of our players, Angry Guy, was psyched about 4e, so he tried to run one of those. The group actually held together while he threw campaigns at the wall, and after a year, one stuck. We lost a player, but we gained two more, and those two weren't actually that bad.

He ended up running an adventure path, and we played through the first stretch. With prescribed plot threads, it wasnt just monster hunting, and prescribed rewards, it wasnt just a monty haul. Around this time, Dom joined our group

Dom was nearly forty. He was skinny and underfed/ He had a greasy beard and mustache and pony that I was pretty sure was lice infested. He drove a black panel van, and lived in a basement. Whose, I have no idea. He didnt have a real job, but one of the players had a catering business, and he would call Dom when he was catering a large event for an extra set of hands. I guess thats how he found us.

He had pretty shamelessly acting like an idiot since he joined our DnD. He built a thri Keen ranger who stole everything off of enemy corpses. He would carry around like five sets of plain chain mail for the 25 gp it would bring. Our GM had always been bad about encumberance, since no one had been an asshole about it. OOC, he would always argue his character should get another standard attack action, because his thri keen had extra attacks. I went into heavy rules lawyer mode, just to make sure he wouldnt cheat.

Around the same time, the other guys asked if i would run a game again. I said sure, mutants and masterminds 2e, 90 pp. I asked the players if they would write out their sheets. I was checking their math with the herolab demo. Dom some how found out I was using herolab, he went out and bought a license, skips my approval meeting, and comes to the first session with a 17 page character sheet.

I was playing a Deadlands game with a new-ish group that I'd never played with before. I was friends with one of the other players, and pretty quickly hit it off with the GM too. We all got along pretty well except for That Guy who wanted to play a half-Japanese female samurai in a game set in the American West.

After that idea got veto'd he decided to play a half-Japanese mad scientist instead because being half-Japanese was like the one issue he was unwilling to budge on for some reason.

Come game day we are all gathering for a pre-game call on Roll20, which defaults to having your mic and cam turned on when you join the room for some retarded reason. What we're greeted with is the sound of this guy masturbating because he thinks no else can hear him. Someone sent him a text message on Skype saying 'Hey dude your mic is on' and he replied 'no it isn't AND WENT BACK TO MASTURBATING.

For some reason we actually continued with the game, but this guy proved to be such an annoying, spotlight-hogging autist that everyone just kind of lost the will to keep playing halfway through and quit. We never planned another session.

>>50264869
I tell him to show me what he did. He used two "house rules," (equipment as gear, and free equipment) to give himself close to 300pp. I told him to leave, and come back to build a character with my supervision. I ran a good session with the rest of the guys, who were genuinely having fun.

He shows up the next week with a 12 page sheet, abusing custom item crafting, I think. I tell him he needs to make it with me there, and he looks me in the eye, crying.

"I guess my character will just have to suck, wont she?"

He didnt even abuse those extra pp. He just had multiple instances of blast. Anyways, I didnt fight him. I just ended up leaving. I started making excuses, scheduling things during the game.

I dropped out, and those guys didnt have any long sticking campaigns after that.

>That Guy who wanted to play a half-Japanese female samurai in a game set in the American West

The worst thing here is if you removed the "half" part and played her as an actual female samurai rather than an anime character it'd probably be an interesting setup.

>>50260836
Anon you are that guy. Of course this story probably isn't even true, but if it is you are 100% in the wrong.

>>50260408
>>50260298
Nah I understand what he's saying. The GM "writes" the story and the players rewrite it then the GM adjusts it between sessions. You always look ahead as a GM and envision the future. Vision is the most important part of a writer. As long as you don't keep shoving your plot points in their faces and make their actions and choices feel useless, it is fine.

I consider the campaign I am running to be a "magnum opus" of sorts and it has gone so far off the rails I don't even remember where the rails were supposed to be.

>Not playing a Chinaman spear wielder/shaolin monk
Anon pls, pls.

>>50265663
That's also a good build, obviously, but "Chinaman in the Wild West" is also done pretty often. On the other hand, how many examples of "Samurai self-exiled from Japan after the Meiji Restoration and samurai ban" are you familiar with?

>>50264431
>I've always found cursing to be a good barometer of someone's intelligence. The stupid person has to use curse words in substitution of other words since they don't have the proper vocabulary to express themselves.
Yes, 'tis such a shame that the poor fools have such limited word choice and must resort to such crass language to get their point across. It truly is a shame that there are so few of us truly eloquent and genteel men like ourselves must see such boorish behavior day to day instead of truly great and noble specification by gentlemen such as ourselves.

Well, I suppose that's fair enough. I just like Chinese martial arts more than I care for roleplaying good Bushido.

>>50264706
It's a truth that some players both want and need to be railroaded to an extent. It's actually kind of fun to GM them when that happens, means you get to go for more "cinematic" moments (so yes, getting closer to wanking your novel).

Players who don't want or need railroading are fine. Players who do want and need railroading are fine. Players who hate railroading but are too stupid or undriven enough to make do without it are fucking cancer.

>Wanting to raise your kids to be polite is a bad thing

Neither is wanting to get a photo of bigfoot.

But these desires aren't worthy of respect from other people just because they aren't bad. It's mostly harmless nonsense, but nonsense it remains.

>>50265771
Personally? Same.

>>50265877
If you're too bullheaded to comply with the minutest of host requests for a few hours every week, how do you function in society? Society is filled with otherwise pointless rituals that people follow because they are a formal sign of respect to those around us.

>>50266119
>If you're too bullheaded to comply with the minutest of host requests for a few hours every week, how do you function in society?

Oh I would totally comply. But it would definitely just be because it's their house, not because 'raising children to be polite' is a thing.

>>50266172
Ok, I agree with that. Politeness shouldn't be the goal.
