This picture honestly pisses me off. Maybe the guy was doing it obnoxiously, but from what I read it looks like the player just liked lighthearted games and incorporating his own ideas instead of being turbo-railroaded by some dickish GM that dismissed having fun as being "That Guy" and refused to adapt his game at all.

>>50950040
>incorporating his own ideas instead of being turbo-railroaded by some dickish GM

Ok yeah that's not exactly ideal. As foreverGM that deals with a lot of new players, I'd probably try to talk with him about having an arc or two his way, then eventually get the main campaign in while tying in a theme or two he was trying for. Maybe have the campaign involve his delivery service or something.

Also, who the fuck put plot important info in the head of a random aggressive orc NPC that can be one shot by a character of your own design?

But anyway, not trying to derail this thread with opinions on some game no one here saw, have some content.
>>
>>50950285
>fun shit
Forcing everyone to do nothing of merit the whole session is not "fun shit"
>>needing to railroad them into your specific plot
Sure, why bother spending time coming up with a plot at all.
Let's just meet up and come up with "epic, random" shit to do for 6 hours, what a great idea.
>characters quirks
Actively fucking with everything set up and ruining everyone else's time is not a character quirk, that's literally being That Guy.

>>not being able to talk to someone like a fucking adult if their actions as a character really bother you that much
You seem to be under the impression I wrote that screencap.
I'm not putting up with your stupid shit, you get a chance after being told to cut it out.
If all you want to do is fuck around and try to get cheap laughs by making TV references, then you can fuck off.
It's not even bad if it's original things you're coming up with because that would be great, I'm not sitting through 6 hours of "lmao TV".
>>
>>50950437
Are you fucking kidding me? If that GM had rolled with the Farnsworth one he would have been able to hook them into literally any plot with, and here's the kicker, a fucking package. Easiest one is they're engaged to deliver one, uh oh evil guy steals it, he doesn't keep it and hands it off to his boss who does it again and again and again until BBEG, a rival of the person who bought what was in the package, that's the first thing that popped into my head when I read that. That's a case of That GM turning a player into That Guy, he fucking deserved the shit he got after he killed Farnsworth.

All of those things may be considered fun by the other people at the table. If they want to play remade tv characters and do non-plot-intensive things, they can do those things. Of course, since the GM isn't enjoying those things in the screencap, that's not truly what's happening, so he could either talk with the group or get a different player/group.

Anyway, here's some more storytime-relevent stuff
>>
>>50950550
I concur. Additional option: the BBEG ends up being the person they had to deliver the package to in the first place, and all the previous stealings were two factions swiping the macguffin so much that everything got turned around.
>>
>>50950609
That GM showed no initiative, no spirit and no improvisation. If I were the Farnsworth player I'd fucking punish him, just because he killed my Professor, especially if he had done so, like in the story, without discussing the issues beforehand.
>>
>>50950658
>I'd fucking punish him
You already were by playing it in the first place.
>>
>>50950681
Nah I saw the Professor as a legit character gimmicky perhaps, but legit, he didn't want to roll with what his players were doing so he punished the one who came up with the idea. Never mind that if you think about it package delivery is about half of what adventurers do, the GM should have been smart enough to roll with it rather than be a bully.

This kinda bothers me, because I know any weapon can get sneak attack in 3e and 3.5e, which PF is based off of. The only thing that PF changed about sneak attack is that you can sneak attack anything, regardless of creature type, and get your extra damage.

The rest of it is great, though. Just that one little thing bothers me. Krod sounds fucking hilarious.

Alrighty, as I said the players are also mostly murder hobos out for themselves in the anarchy following the Storm of Chaos, but sometimes do good things.
The party was composed of five characters, they had problems finding any real reason to stick together, but as only one of them had concrete long term aspiration they haphazardly decided many murder hobos together was better than traveling alone. I’ll be typing as a go here so there may be some delays.

Fabio: a Tilean mercenary who had fought clean up actions in the Empire following Archaon’s defeat. He ended up staying in the Empire in the hope of quick riches doing dirty work with the hope of replacing some dead petty noble. Wannabe mobster, managed to nick warpstone from a chaos cult the party killed without anyone seeing. He later sold this to some Tilean other mobsters which led to it eventually causing an entire Imperial town to become horrible mutants and clog a key supply line. He completely got away with this scot free. Wears a disgustingly expensive set of purple noble’s garb with gold lace that he has yet to wash. If you asked his player, Fabio’s end goal was “Money and bitches.”
-Good all-around, no real specialty.
-Sometimes party leader.

Osprant: Clinically insane. Had an epiphany around his middle-age and became a wandering tree-hobo who lived in the woods and never bathed. Because of this he became deeply enthralled with the teachings of Taal to the point of becoming a taalite flagellant. After several near death experiences with the party, he gained enough muscle mass and lost enough sanity to be considered a scourge of Taal. Manages to survive through the impossible despite refusing to wear any kind of protection or armor. Seeks to annihilate all that is unnatural and hangs out with the party due to their tendency to run into the unnatural. Still refuses to bathe.
-Wonderful meat shield.
-Surprisingly good at sneaky things, very fast runner.
-No negotiation, no nuance, kill bad things.

Sorgrim: A soldier from Middenland who served during the storm of chaos. His player lucked out and managed to procure some plate/establish contacts early on leading to him joining a knightly order and classing into knight. He functionally become specced out for combat and nothing else, with an INT stat only one or two levels above a horse. This meant out of combat he was functionally useless, this was helped by the fact his player heavily smoked pot or tried to play pokemon during every session.
-Combat Monster.
-Useless out of combat, in and out of character.

Ulrike : 5’2, barely over 100 pounds, fairly cute. Also a furious priest of Ulric dedicated to honor and combat. Has experienced some hardship due to being a female priest but in general gives no shit about gender and has devoted her life to Ulric. Ironically due to the party’s retardation, her berserk love for Ulric somehow ends up the voice of reason. Hangs out with the party after being unable to find a permanent preaching position anywhere, thus deciding to function as a travelling preacher and gain knowledge of Ulric by crushing his enemies (primarily beastmen and chaosjerks).
-Sometimes party leader, always party moral compass.
-Low level ulrican magic is still pretty good magic.
-Surprisingly tanky.

Imhol Elfsomething: Imhol’s player made two crucial mistakes. One, he made his character an elf, which the rest of the party didn’t approve of. Two, he made his name close to “in hole” which resulted in numerous puns, more often than not he was referred to as Dimhol by the party. He was also a cartographer, and spent a considerable amount of his money on maps. In and out of combat he was entirely devoted to his survival, which in WFRP meant he usually sacrificed his teammates to save his own skin in combat, leading to even more animosity towards him. He also was a shitter in combat who couldn’t hit an arrow shot even as elf, but that’s another story.
-Attempts to be the party face but doesn’t really know what to say. Also an Elf, which goes over poorly with a lot of old-worlders.
-Strong potential, if he could class up he could gain some good social skills which the party really lacks while also becoming useful in combat.
-Hated by party.
-squishy as shit, 2 TB (reduces damage for those of you unfamiliar with the system) and 10 wounds (lowest possible).
-Really hated by party.

This was far from the original group. Initially, there were several of them who met in a small southern Middenland town and got caught up in a Beastman reenactment of the Battle of the Bulge as K.F & Co pushed Archaon back. The original group lost its “leader” of a third-born noble son to a minotaur and its Dwarf to a Burgomeister turned Wendigo. However after a couple close calls and doing some blackwatch work for some indiscriminate nobles, the party had managed to set itself up as mildly competent problem solvers. After curing the aforementioned noble Wendigo he referred the party to a friend of his who had been having trouble with grave robbers. The party was instructed to meet him in his village in the North of Middenland, roughly three or four days travel from Middenheim.


After a shitty journey through the rain and backwoods, including several encounters with Beastmen, the group arrived at a quaint little Middenland town that had avoided the worst of the war. The towns people seem mostly friendly, if suspicious of outsiders and the town inn/bar keeper hooks them up with rooms for a few days at a decent price. The town had no real services to speak of beyond the combined inn/bar so the party decided that they may as well make it quick and headed to the small noble villa on the edge of town to arrange terms.

The town’s lord, who henceforth will be referred to as Wilhelm because I don’t remember his name, was composed of roughly 50% fat and 50% overly puffy shirt. He was a very red faced and pleasant man who very quickly agreed to the party’s highest price for payment and rushed through an explanation of the town’s troubles.
The party learned that over the past several weeks the citizens had been complaining of strange noises from the graveyards and a few prominent families had bodies stolen from their above-ground tombs. He wanted the grave robbers caught, dead or alive and would pay a bonus if the bodies could be found.
As he finished up his rushed explanation a feminine voice called out from the other room.
“Oh Willieeeeeeeee.”
Before the party could ask any follow up question they were politely but firmly ordered/pushed out of the Villa. As the door close they briefly saw “Willie” run off excitedly to the other room.
By this point there aren’t very many options so the group forms a brief huddle and decides to investigate the graveyard and plan a stakeout. They learn from the innkeeper that the town’s priest of Morr was previously part of a Templar knight order, and answered the call when the Storm of Chaos broke out.
Ever since then, as the closest thing to a community representative, the Innkeeper has been trying to keep watch of the graveyard himself but isn’t able to cover the whole thing himself/sleep 2 hours a night every night. (For those who don’t know in Warhammer, Morr is the human lord of death in the setting, whose priests man graveyards to protect them from necromancers.) He hasn’t seen anything unusual in any of his patrols by himself, but he was the one who discovered the missing bodies and found the locks on several mausoleums broken. He can’t offer the party any clues.

Now, with all this talking, Osprant is bored. Bored and angry. He wants nature to hang out in and un-nature to kill. So, when the party moves to investigate the graveyard, he climbs up a tree roughly 20ft from the graveyard fence and meditates. Sorgrim, likewise bored, follows the party like a zombie and plays pokemon. During the actual investigation, 2/3 of the remaining party fails to notice the strange colored patches of grass in their path and are trapped in Gravegrass. Which is basically a thorny-spring-based Venus fly trap that feeds on people. Fabio and Imhol are cut out of the grass by Ulrike, but she takes her sweet time in doing so.

The actual investigation of the graveyard terms up nothing of note beyond what the Inn-keeper said. Several mausoleums have broken locks, some bodies are missing, but there are no clues.

Stumped, the party decides to take up various positions in the graveyard/forest and hold a stake out.
After a couple hours of waiting, the party sees Osprant leap out of his tree and sprint toward the graveyard while screaming about Taal. Suddenly, they also notice another shadowy figure bolt from the graveyard. Obviously, the party gives chase. A few times they nearly lose the figure but Osprant manages to tail it through a hunting path in the woods to a small, shitty looking, two story shack. As the reach the cabin, or rather as Osprant reaches the shack, there is enough moonlight to clearly see a very dirty, disheveled man slam the door behind him. Osprant, being Osprant, smashes against the door but is repulsed as large sounding locks slam into place.
>>
>>50958829
He spends the next five minutes smashing down the door with his flail, giving the rest of the party time to catch up to him. As they arrive, the party can see the floor of the house is covered in small paper pamphlets, coated with varying degrees of filth.

Not wanting to be the group mook, Fabio gently prods Osprant to feel free to enter the suspicious and spooky looking house first. Happily obliging, Osprant decides to coat his flail in alcohol and light it on fire to see and then runs in screaming.

He is promptly shot in the side by a crossbow bolt.

Now, as the party’s meatshield, Osprant’s player had an amazing ability to pass nearly all save or die rolls when he moved onto the Crit table, which is what governs your fate when you go below 0 wounds in WFRP. Because of this, he happily rushed through two more rooms, and took two more crossbow bolts in the chest before screaming “Shit’s trapped yo!” And running outside.
>>
>>50958922
Deciding that they should try to think, Fabio grabbed a few pamphlets from the floor of main entranceway the group had already cleared and brought them outside to try and read. Unfortunately, Fabio cannot read, in fact no one could read except Ulrike or Imhol. The DM passed Ulrike’s player several note cards detailing the pamphlets. After a minute or two Ulrike said they boiled down to two points.
1: Karl Franz is a lizard person in a cloak made of human skin seeking to control the Empire
2: His closest advisors are all “wee men” which the party took to men half things in disguise. Imhol confirmed that the pamphlets were basically worthless.
Clearly, the pamphlets wouldn’t be of any use so the party took another quick huddle and decided to attempt to shield wall their way through the house. Imhol said he would “stand guard” at the door in order to prevent the grave robber from escaping as they clear the house room by room.
Overall the plan worked fairly well, outside of a few more crossbow traps being sprung when the party checks drawers and wardrobes on the man floor no real injuries were taken.

>>50940884
as much as i like this story, it still triggers me that he called him LOS and not EL

>>50959010
With the main floor cleared, the party (Imhol included) headed upstairs to try and clear the remaining rooms. The final master bedroom area was completely empty except for a hole in the floor, a hole filled with around two to three feet of shit — and the graverobber.

The party called out to him and tried to get him surrender but he mostly muttered crazily to himself and hugged his knees while rocking back and forth.

Eventually, they tied Imhol to a rope and forced him into the hole to drag the grave robber out of the hole.

Reeking of shit and very annoyed Imhol managed to haul the grave robber kicking and screaming up out of the hole. Afterwards, the man broke down crying on the floor and refused to say anything intelligible.

requesting bricktown if anyone has it

>bricktown, the island town whose only export was bricks from the local brick mine
>>
>>50959149
Immediately, Osprant moved to kill the robber in cold blood as a potential chaos worshipper.

Imhol, still covered in shit, stood in front of him and argued that they needed the man, and that they should interrogate him for more information.

Osprant offers Imhol an ultimatum. Either the robber dies now, or you die with him.

Meanwhile, Sorgrim had completed the Elite Four for the second time, Fabio can’t seem to pick a side and Ulrike looked concerned.

Imhol and Osprant drew weapons and Imhol pleaded for someone to help him, aware that he stood no real chance against Osprant, injured or not.

Finally, Ulrike stepped forward, drew her sword, and stood to oppose Osprant, then suddenly sliced off the robbers head with it.

The deed done, the party promptly went to looting the man’s corpse as Imhol stood off sadly.

On the robbers corpse the party found a small note.
“Thank you for your services, I will be happy to hire you again in the future. Enclosed is your payment.
-Richter Barnhoff”

The party didn’t recognize the name, but figuring they’d done their job, decided to sleep in the Inn tonight and speak to the Noblemen tomorrow.
>>
>>50959303
Back at the inn Imhol paid for a much needed bath, Fabio, Sorgrim, and Osprant drank heavily and Ulrike asked the inn keep if he knew anything about Richter Barnhoff.
Apparently, Richter was an embalmer who stayed in the town but often left to cater to rich nobles. However, the inn keep hadn’t seen him in several days and figured he was off “collecting” another client. To be honest, the inn keeper didn’t really like the man, he was always leaving late at night and seemed overly chummy with the lord’s mistress. The inn keep also managed to point out which house in town belonged to Richter. The next morning Ulrike made the mistake of conferring this information to Osprant, who took off toward Richter’s house and began to bludgeon it down.
Now, this was quite a small town, but even a small town has a watch and the watch arrived in full force in the form of a 60 year old man and two pre-pubescent boys.

In a cracking, squeaking voice, one of the pre-pubescent watchmen asked if Osprant could “um, not do that.”

Osprant began screaming that he was doing this on behalf of the village’s lord and that all that is unnatural and unclean must be burned.

The guard replied with a hesitant“But we’ll uh, have to arrest you.”
>>
>>50959405
Hearing the screaming, the rest of the party arrived to find Osprant facing off against the terrified looking town guard. Some tense, and poorly phrased reassurances from Fabio later, the guards decided it would be better to accept the group’s explanation rather than fight a mad man and his four friends and left with their tale between their legs.

Inside Richter’s house the group found a large assortment of vials of strange chemicals and powders. (one of which, a red colored powder, sorgrim inexplicably dedicated to snag when no one was looking), several moderate sized animals floating in embalming fluid, but no bodies.

In one room they did find a large bloodstain but in an embalmer’s house that could mean anything. Figuring that it was a dead end or a red herring the group decided to return to the inn for one last drink and then collect their reward. While getting drunk, they decide to ask the inn keeper about the shack in the woods and a strange jittery man obsessed with wee men and lizard people.
>>
>>50959470
A sad look came over the innkeepers face as he explained that the robber, who’s real name was Fritz, lost his son’s in the war and his wife died soon after. He then went mad, but really wouldn’t hurt anyone unless manipulated.

He asked why Ulrike had decided to ask, leading to the awkward confession that Fritz was now dead and had been robbing the graveyard. She also told the innkeeper about the note from Richter in his pocket.

The inn keep immediately called out to his assistant and sent him off on a horse to go get some vague kind of help. He asked quietly asked the party to leave the inn for an hour or so as he would have to go run a quick errand, and suggested that maybe they could go collect their reward while he was gone.

Confused, but quite good at taking direction, the party left to the Noble’s villa. Although it was only early afternoon they initially didn’t receive any response at the door upon knocking and had to make a large amount of noise for several minutes before Wilhelm came to the door.

When he answered, Wilhelm’s puffy shirt was ruffled beyond belief and his face was smeared with make up. Unfortunately, he wouldn’t let the party in, he wouldn’t even talk to them for a few minutes. He said he was intensely busy and could give them their reward tomorrow and rebuffed all other lines of conversation.

From the other room a call of “Oh Willllllllie.” Led to him slamming the door in the PC’s faces.

Walking back to the center of town the party noticed the inn keeper emerging from the embalmer’s house and opening the inn back up. When questioned, he asked the PCs to stay one more night and to sleep in the bar.

When they refused he brought them back to the embalmers house. He had hacked apart bloodstained segment of floor and underneath it were several shriveled up half eaten corpses, some human, and some animal. He revealed himself as a member of the Fellowship of the Shroud, a splinter order of Morr dedicated to investigating and revealing Vampires. He convinced the party that the embalmer must have been in league with someone in the town, likely the Lord’s mistress, and now that the party has taken their duties to far, it is likely they will be attacked tonight.

Allow me to tell you the story of the time the party's Lawful Good cleric turned into pic related.

>Paladin, Druid, Cleric, Rogue party
>Level 3 or 4
>We've been tracking a thief that apparently stole some artifact etc.
>Tracks lead into a broken-down stronghold
>Gottabeit.map
>Rogue scouts ahead
>Nevermind, it's loaded with orcs
>Botch the stealth check on the way out
>Party rushes in to save him
>Would have TPK'd but the DM took pity
>We are now captives
>Cleric and rogue do a great job of bluffing the orcs
>Grab a long rest
>The quest for the fake treasure begins
>No equipment, it's back at the fortress
> 4 orcs (1 is a chieftain)
>4 PCs
>One shot to save this
>Paladin leads one away
>Rogue slips his bonds
>Cleric manages to carve a holy symbol into the dirt as a makeshift focus
>Druid is ready to wildshape
>Combat begins
>Paladin just does his best to keep the fourth orc off of the rest
>Rogue panics and dodges away to wait for an opening
>Druid is now a bear
>Cleric's turn
>I can hear the death in his voice
>"Second level command, the two weak orcs"
>"What is your command?"
>"Betray," It comes out as a growling hiss
>Orcs now swinging at their commander
>Next turn, one orc dies to the druid
>Cleric's turn
>"Second level command, Duel"
>Actually frightening
>Just the chief left
>Cleric comes around
>"I have one last command"
>"What is it?"
>"Die" Proceeds to cast inflict wounds
>Rolls just short of maximum damage
>Melts the chieftain

And that was the day the cleric went from "I value life and defend it" LG to "No mercy for those who deserve none" LN
>>
>>50959767
As a note, orcs had been this party's bane. At level two a surprise attack by some orcs killed their ranger. Later on an ambush cost them supplies. Basically, fuck orcs.
>>
>>50959653
He said his assistant will likely bring whatever help the Fellowship can offer by tomorrow morning but they must survive the night. The party agreed to stay the night and went to gather the watch to join their defense.

When they arrived in the small watch building, (functionally a one room office and jail) and informed the sexagenarian watch office and his two deputy guard that there was a vampire in the town. He instantly began to pack his bags and rode out of town within the hour. Left to their own devices, the party returned to the inn.

Needless to say, the night was a harrowing experience. While the inn keep decided to plate the party’s best weapons with silver in order to better deal with a vampire, should one arrive, waves of risen zombies and skeletons, supported by crypt ghouls broke through the walls of the inn and severely injured most of the party by the time morning came.
Imhol in particular was on his last legs.

Fortunately, the vampire itself had not attacked the inn, and the inn keeper had successfully plated all their weapons with silver, which would hopefully give them an edge. More good news arrived as the inn keeper’s assistant returned with a Knight of the Raven in tow, elite warriors from the Fellowship clad in full plate.

Thus prepared the PCs were persuaded with the promise of large payment to put the vampire to rest by marching on the noble’s villa, assisted by the Knight, of course.
>>
>>50959794
With Osprant leading the way the party burst through the front door of the villa only to find Wilhelm’s desiccated corpse along with two elegantly dressed figures.

One, clearly Wilhelm’s mistress, was the most beautiful woman the party had ever seen with cheekbones that could cut granite and a small smirk.
The other, was a man who in normal clothes would’ve been described as snippy or bitter, and all dressed up looked like he was unfairly imbued with authority, like a shitty librarian.

The woman began to go into a dramatic speech was but immediately charged by Osprant with the rest of the party quickly following. The small man, who was clearly the embalmer and thrall of the true vampire managed to double-crit his first attack. Taking the leg of the Knight off at the knee causing him to bled out on the floor.

With the party’s insurance quickly squashed things looked much worse. Sorgrim, Fabio, Ulrike and Osprant collectively focused the thrall, hoping to bring him down with sheer weight of wounds. It seemed to work causing him to collapse under the onslaught.
Then, the female vampire looked at sorgrim. To remind you sorgrim was barely smarter than a horse and he had a willpower to match. One look was all it took before he charged at Imhol, who was plinking away uselessly in the back line. Now the strongest combatant in the party was locked in a duel with the heavily wounded weakest member of the party. It was over quickly.

Also a large dragon (young) has between +24 and +30 to grapple while a, lets say 7th level player, has (assuming monk with 24 Str for example even if MAD af) has around +14, and according to that story he had been wining all grapple checks (because if he fails one he stop grappling and falls) till the end. That's statistically possible so is being shot in the head 10 times and not die because the atoms of the bullets never meet the atoms of your head so they all go through you without damaging you

And again, Nat20 means nothing on checks, only on save rolls and attack rolls

I've got a bunch of stories from my dumbfuck regular players. Most of 'em are from the one time I ran a Game of Thrones campaign.

>party is a noble house in the Vale, house Brady - Lord of the house is an NPC (initially)
>characters are Roland the bro-tier knight, Pendryn the senile old maester, Ruckland the powergame'd murderhobo knight, Rowan the cocky house heir, Mors the inexplicable Greenseer and Edwyn the edgelord
>most of the stupidity was perpetrated by the last 4
>campaign starts with the lord declaring that they'll be hosting a minor tournament to affiliate with some other noble houses, get their name out there and earn some glory

True, but not all of these stories are exact rundowns of how the game was played. they're perhaps oversimplifying or exaggerating. I don't really care if it's true or not, as long as it's entertaining the anon did a good job.
>>
>>50974902
>they change the terms of the deal, saying they won’t get any weapons unless they attack the Magdellans’’ carriage – that way it won’t be traced back to them
>they neglect to tell Lord Brady about this ingenious plan, because he wants to ally with the Magdellans through marriage
>the hill tribes now fucking hate Edwyn, but reluctantly go along with it
>as the Magdellans leave, a band of hill tribesmen attack – most of the tribesmen are killed or injured, but they manage to bring down several Magdellan guards and injure the Lord and heir
>the party are patting themselves on the back for their masterful political maneuvering, and return to Lord Brady to discuss future plans
>Lord Brady looks pissed
>”I’m told that the Magdellans were attacked by the hill tribe savages as they left – go and tell them they won’t be getting any damned weapons from us!”
>only now do they realise how fucking stupid their idea was

And that’s how a player went from ‘friendly’ to ‘HUNT DOWN AND KILL’ with an NPC group in one session.

Those guys were the worst.

It's very simple. "Everyone is being an unreasonable asshole, except for that one clever underdog player, who wins against everyone in the end, and in the end everyone stands up and claps".
The least offensive (and probably one of the first) version of this story is Old Man Henderson. Picrelated is another good example of this type of stories.

While you're a newfag, yes, you'll find those stories interesting and engaging. After a while, however, you'll be screaming "Give me something new and fresh! Also, fucking believable!".

Not really a newfag, just missed quite a few of the the stories, I do happen to have a life, friend. While I can understand the stories getting stale thing, I've watched all of the original six Star Wars movies, like eight times and reread all 7 Harry Potter books 11 or 12 times, so perhaps I just have a greater tolerance for seeing the same stories over, and over, while waiting for that one I haven't seen yet, or that completely new one.

Long story short, in my first campaign, a series of events led to the worst hacker I have ever seen rape a small girl and cause a cervical impaction that garnered him the undying hate of every NPC he knew, as well as from the other PC
so I guess the moral of the story is to remember the consequences of random encounters

That's.... that's kind of fucked up due, how many years did this take place over? as in how many years was he taking care of these girls Cassidy included? in-game btw not out.
>>
>>50980698
That's the thing - all of this took place within about 11 months of in-game timeover the course of almost a year, the PC started out as a hacker, then became a human trafficker himself in an attempt to become some sort of twisted father figure to these tortured souls, became a polygamist, was so terrible at it that he made two girls turn into lesbians, killed one of them, then committed what was tantamount to rape of another one.
It only got worse in the sequel game where Roman divorced the clone and re-united with Cassidy 2 years and one healing trip to Tibet later. He also ended up letting a loli clone get gutted by a shapeshifter. But those are different stories.

This is the short, brutal, cocaine filled story that is Flesh stick, my CE Gnome Rouge.

My buddy was building his own (kinda bad desu) system, and didn't have a lot of DnD experience (he has issues with it for some odd reason) so me and 2 others decided to teach him how to play 5E.

Party as follows;
Fleshstick; (my toon) CE gnome rouge, accidental leader of the party and 'Midboss'. Think midget psycho from boarderlands, with a bow, and a panchent for gouging out the eyes of his opponents screaming obscenities. He also collected teeth.
Sir Bouland; Dex fighter, sneaky and flesh sticks battle brother. Played by a very intelligent, but oblivious to pop culture.
Manic 'The Holy'; a multiple personality Battle Cleric whos different heads worshiped different (Actually the same ) gods. This guy is utterly insane and played by the noob.

Our first adventure together has us lvl1 and doing the premade opening campaign for 5E, which has you royally fuck up some goblins day, and rescue a merchant. when we finished testing the game out, we wanted more and the DM (a Clever Man) decided to run a campaing he'd been writing for awhile. Hilarity ensued

>Be us
>just got back from curb stopping goblins and collecting their teeth (FleshStick has around 15 confirmed kills at this point a made a necklace.)
>We get sent on a fetch quest for a foreboding wizard guy (wants to get something called a 'Moons Tear', which we have no idea what is and he doesn't help in the slightest) and on our way to a fortune teller we meet the lady of pain
>Cleric tries to high five her, gets dropped to 1 and learned not to highfive gods
>eventually find fortune teller, tells us we have to find the tear in another plane
>Get 'sent' to the plane by an extradimentional asshole of a god who likes shits and giggles.
>End up in the basement of some fucking hole.
>Hear door open and close quickly and some really cheery music start up
>investigate
>get to ground floor, find a guy covered in various masks
>>
>>50982854

Something not said, but me and the cleric both have masks on, FleshSticks is a Psycho mask, the cleric had this trifecta mask thing that switched when he went into a new personality. it's not important, just a neat weirdity.

>day light, little green hat trailing outside
>Fleshstick follows
>crazy man in masks becomes distraction plot, and blocks the way
>casts a spell with organ to protect us and 'heal us'
>everyone gets a new spell and a magical instrument
>Mfw we are in majora's mask
>Mfw it's the dawn of the first day
>Mfw i'm the only one besides the DM who has played a zelda game
>Mfw i have a mask for a face(i did try to take it off, reviling that it is in fact me behind the mask, is why the next shit wasn't considered meta gaming)
>At this point i know what to do to get a 'Moons tear"
>immediately head to the observatory, told to eat several flavors of dick and that a small deku child already has the moons tear
>Make it goal to murder the child
>find out he went to the forest temple (inside changed to prevent full meta bullshit)
>break in with music (FleshStick plays the spoons and 'harmonica'.)
>start clearing dugeon, get hurt
>cleric can't heal
>well fuck
>find a 'Garden' in one of the rooms, has plant.
>FleshStick Literally at 2 hp, decides to eat a plant to see what happens. Starts healing slowly.
>Also vague numbness and a few will challenges
>Whatever, heal up to full
>Make it too Mini boss room, meet lizard fuck
>Cleric and Fighter engage in close combat
>getting shit wrecked
>FleshStick ends up doing a maneuver when her manages to get a rope around the neck of the Lizard Fuck.
>Proceed to know it off the edge and hang it
>Good kill, take much teeth
>realise we are super wounded and have spent the past three days in game getting to this point
>Moon Crash one
>wake up in basement

Maybe. Depends on your group and their familiratiry with /tg/ or at least the story you used it if from. For example I want to steal the stuff from the fallen paladin story. What with the trials to regain powers and so on. That's before for all of the other awesome stories that have elements I plan on using or already have used.

Free to interpretation (see twitter SJW's getting people banned due to "muh feelings" as just one example). Also free to be used as it is not trademarked or copyrighted.

Truth. Depending on board and quality of the bait, it can be surprisingly easy. That said, stupidly toxic trips can also ruin shit easily as a thread gets derailed by calling the trip a stupid faggot.

My dear anon, think of it as currency. lulz are like a penny now. So while they aren't the big center piece of currency that everyone uses all of the time, they are still an important part of our current economic system. Or in our case, an important part of our motivations for action. Most simply do not realize this or ascribe it to gaining "keks", "milking lolcows", or some other more modern term. All of which come from the initial principal of simply enjoying life and, more importantly, the internet by working for the lulz.

Alright people, I shall tell you a story of hags.

So basically, our DM has gotten his hands on Curse of Strahd for 5E and he was eager for us to play it. Being that we'd just done Shadows of the Demon Lord we were eager for more of the same kind of tone. Our party consists of:
>The Paladin of the Morninglord, played by our usual plans guy. Paladin is pretty tanky, tends to use his smites effectively.
>Assassin, played by my uncle. Noted to be sexually promiscuous but it's only come up once or twice when it's a joke.
>Elven Wizard, joined a bit later because the player was sick. A Diviner who really, really liked his two dice rolls. Also did a bunch of illusions because at 5th level there ain't that much divination stuff
>And me, a Human Bard with obscenely good stats who got magic initiate.

So our story basically starts with us deciding to investigate some mill that we passed on our way to the big town, can't remember what it's called. Things go reasonably well, don't really have any encounters that are memorable. So after we do a bit of investigating and find a necklace of teeth we decide to investigate the mill. Being one of the two most agile characters in the group, I decide to climb up there to have a look.

I see hags, doing something or other. They see me, I get knocked down and we go to combat. To cut a long story short, the coven of hags thrashed our 4th level asses. The wizard finds some children in cages, because of course there are. He frees them both, but the girl gets caught again due to a poor luck roll. We lick our wounds and then we talk to the kid.

He says that the hags turn children into these dream pastry things. The assassin, who bought one of these and then tripped balls, is a little sick at that. We devise a plan to try and rescue the children.

And by devise a plan, I come up with a surprisingly stupid plan that somehow worked.
>>
>>50986725
>Hell, we actually DO see it happen occasionally
"You are racist, white man. Be silent and do not question nonwhite immigration."
"You are sexist, white man. Be silent and do not breed with white women."
"You are imperialist, white man. Be silent and do not fight the theft of your lands."
"You are evil, white man. Your works have destroyed the world, and now you must be destroyed."
Yeah, "occasionally."
>>
>>50999110
>Cost more than they're worth
Most internet jokes are. Think about how much you spend on having internet access, between electricity costs and whatever you're paying to your ISP.

>So valueless that most people wouldn't bother to try?
My dear anon. Most people DON'T try to farm lulz intentionally. It's only a few deplorable dissidents like ourselves who do that. That said, we often talk about "keks" or "lolcows" instead. While lulz can be seen as the lowest form of amusement (similar to pennies being the lowest denomination), they are the basis for the stuff we routinely laugh at and say things such as "top kek" to.

>Considered a waste and people trying to stop their production
Literally exactly why people almost never say they do anything for the "lulz". Instead it's for the "keks" or occasionally for "internetz" (or some variation of).
>>
>>50999200
Continued.

So my plan is as simple as it is stupid.

I disguise myself as a humble pedlar, use the fancy pearl that the wizard has for his identify thing to get into their good graces, then exploit a hag's natural jealousy and vanity to get through the time. Meanwhile, the rest of the party will be there, to free the child and to help me beat on the hags if shit goes south.

Already I know this is a poor plan, but fuck it, the goal is to rescue the child, not to kill all the hags. I get me some clothes, pay for them out of my own pocket, then manage to guilt the wizard into the pearl.

Once there, I apply my makeup. The first time is a critical failure, and I look more like a mime than anything. I go too far in replicating the Barovian look. The next time is far better, and I look suitably miserable and pale.

About halfway up to the door, I realise that my plan would work better if I actually had other wares to sell. Fuck it, gotta roll with it.

So an old lady opens the door, and I spin a story of bullshit. I am roleplaying by the seat of my pants. I'm pretty sure I was going out of my mind with worry that she'd just give up the game. She offers me a dream pastry, which I know not only sends you to la-la land, but also drugs you up so she could probably have her way with me before death. So I continue spinning bullshit, and eventually start playing music. I do so well, and am so flattering and charming that the daughters come down.

Meanwhile, the assassin is invisible, and sneaking up to the top floor where the child cages are. None of the hags are hearing a thing since they've been baited downstairs by my bullshit. She makes a luck roll, and rolls a 1.

The girl was baked into dream pastries before we even got there.
>>
>>50999383
I have no way to know this in character, so I have to pull out all the stops on bullshittery. I can tell that the hags' patience is wearing a bit thin, so I create uproar by thrusting the pearl at one of the two younger ones in such a way as to create the most chaos.

Things go a bit more downhill from there. The Bard makes his saves like a god, taunting the enraged hagmother. He also delivers a thunder wave on a pipe, a thunderous toot that knocked the hags back a bit. There's a terrible moment in the door where I accidentally get in the way of the paladin and we both get fried by chain lightning. We run away, to try and live another day.

The rogue reveals that the child is dead to the party, and we decide that we cannot have that shit. Thanks to her previous experience and my knowledge that they baked a fresh batch, we determine that the hag mother is going to go to the town Barovia to sell these pastries. We make double time there, stopping only once to rest up and get some of our wounds back.

Like honourable heroes, we wait in ambush and then we take her out on her lonesome. There's a tense moment where it looks like she got away, but the wizard manages to slay her. We got to level 5, and get some better spell slots.

Next session, we decide to forgo a rest and take out the hags once and for all. So we make double time there, only interrupted by zombies and a druid and his asshole twig blights. We sneak in, as quietly as we can with a Paladin in chain mail, his desterity boosted by that one spell that gives a bunch of different boosts.

The battle with the hags is long and brutal. I cast Hold Person in a critical moment, allowing the Rogue the perfect Sneak attack. The Paladin crits with his Smite, removing a chunk of the hag's health. But eventually, all but me are felled. I manage to unleash a lucky Firebolt that saves the party. We had destroyed the hag menace in a small part of Barovia. And it was good.

>About half the group are evil/neutral alignments, not mustache twirling but definitely "my needs and desires are my primary motivating factors, not some horseshit about society or justice," most of those characters are part of the "Guild Unseen" which is shorthand for the criminal enterprise of the city we're based in.

>>
>>51018191

>Because skullduggery occasionally happens in the game for the most part we don't volunteer things like "Alignment" unless someone's casting detection spells

>The LG Cavalier is a flavor of That Guy

>Basically tries to lawyer his way out of problems, refuses to work with most of the rest of the party because of his class features (the whole party, not just the evil alignment ones)

>Casually beats or tortures "evil" prisoners, throws other party members under the bus to escape punishment, decides to set fire to the poor end of an evil city as a distraction despite mass civilian casualties at one point

>Basically playing textbook LE, DM has warned him repeatedly that those actions will cause his alignment to shift and will have consequences with his diety, gets really mad when he finds out that his prayers are now being answered by NotTiamat instead of NotBahamut, etc, also actively undermines party attempts to mitigate the damage he's doing (several party members actually got him magic items for things like nondetection and he got mad OOC because they'd take up slots meant for magic items that helped his class abilities, despite not having magic items in those slots yet)

>Rest of the party is getting to be fucking done with this

>Party is sent out to deal with a vampire that is raising undead to destroy a fort set up on one of the main roads

>Party spends the night coming up with a plain that basically involves no risk when dealing with the low-level undead, who were only dangerous because of the number of them, it just involves a kill box set up beneath the walls of the fort, where we can easily dispatch the skellies while waiting for the Vampire to show up (basically destroy his several weeks worth of minions, and if he doesn't show up to stop us then start canvassing the area looking for his haven during the day before he can raise that many again)

>Cavalier wants to use his horse in combat for that sweet sweet damage

>The melee fighters (The Ninja and Fighter, because the Rogue was on the walls making sure that the spellcasters were being protected) try to talk him down from bashing down the gate in the barricade and riding out to be surrounded by undead, which will end up pulling the other party members off the wall and turning an easy shoot into a giant clusterfuck

>the NE evil wizard goes "I'll back them up, you guys follow the plan!"

>Cavalier finds the incoming skeleblitz coming towards the fort about a quarter mile down the way, since this is after dark virtually no one at the fort's walls can actually see him

>Cavalier is out on a road surrounded by Guild Unseen members, most of the rest of the PCs have forgotten that's even a thing at this point, months into the campaign

>Through a combination of note passing to the DM, we play through the whole combat. TN Fighter "Critical Misses" smacks the Cavalier with a handful of darts because he's throwing into a melee, stripping him of several protections

>Ninja basically takes a position to intercept the Cavalier if he tries to run

>Wizard uses spells to disguise themself as the vampire we're waiting for, summons up elementals to attack the Cavalier

>Cavalier believes that he's being targeted because he's the guy on the huge warhorse in silver armor
>>
>>51018219

>Rest of the party believes that the elementals were meant to be mixed in to take advantage of the fact we were only prepared for undead

>Cavalier valiantly engages the elementals while the undead continue around him to the fort, where the rest of the party is killing them as per the original plan

>Cavalier is flung into the air several times before being crushed to death under his own warhorse

>None of this was planned beforehand, and the three members of the guild doing this are good enough at reading what the others intend that they basically all play along and ad hoc this whole scheme without tabletalk, all the notes go from players to the DM (which we did most of the campaign for things like damage numbers and multiple attacks, mostly so the DM could shorten rounds and we could resolve actions without having to go around the table one at a time) so that none of us appear to be colluding.

>The Actual Vampire BBEG is decidedly confused because he's currently watching the situation develop and realizes that this is an assassination, decides that maybe he should probably research what the fuck is going on a bit more before fighting the PCs, fucks off without ever *actually* showing up

>Rest of the party arrive in time to see the "Vampire" raise the corpse of the Cavalier and fuck off

>Team Idiot vows to chase the vampire to the ends of the earth

>Team Evil has his corpse in a portable hole, what the party saw was an illusion

>Team Evil uses their share of the reward to pay a high-level priest to cast a spell that prevents him from being resurrected or contacted by anything short of a wish or a miracle, and his body and magic items disintegrated

>Only one person figured it out, the CG Ranger, and she decided to shift her alignment to NG rather than do something about it because she hated that guy

>Despite reeking of special snowflake his new character is miles better than his old one

That's the time when we killed another PC without him knowing about it and created a recurring villain for the campaign out of his character
