Non-Tropes you are tired of seeing at your table

Maybe if you watched more anime you'd be able to join in the conversation instead of making bitter posts about how upset you are that you're left out.

That's my prescription. More anime.
You're welcome.

For me, it is toxic autists like OP. Hard to detect them by a glance whenever they are the fun loving nerds or an bitter asshole who just want to be toxic.
They can't stop bitching and whining the whole time if others are enjoying themselves, making them bitter that they aren't the center of the attention.
Worse is their passive aggressiveness which chill down the whole group atmosphere and enjoyment.
Some even got the balls and lack of self awareness to ask why they never get invited back.

Forever DM here, 27 years of experience. I have a easy litmus test for prospective players.

1. Has gainful employment and/or enrolled in school. Has career goals even if not particularly ambitious ones.

2. Has or has had a romantic significant other or spouse.

3. Has interests outside of nerdom.

>>51409088
Not a bad test at all.

>>51409088
>3. Has interests outside of nerdom.
You could be as much of an animal nerd as a D&D nerd. Clarify.

I'm the only GM on my college campus, I'm in pretty high demand and run two games a week.

Boy do I get the revulsion to weebs. People with an interest in anime is one thing, people who seem like that's their only interest are on a whole other level.

Luckily they are easy to weed out.

>>51409088

>>51409088
>2. Has or has had a romantic significant other or spouse.

>>51409088
Good test, but I know a couple players that pass this and are still fucking awful.

I would perhaps add:
>4. Habitual or excessive drug use

I've played with people who refused to come to the table sober (either pot or alcohol) and passed all those other tests. It was fucking awful. It's cool if you want to do it on your own time, but when there's 4 other people who want to have a serious game then you can fuck right off

Okay man that sure stopped Elliot Rodgers and any of the other angry virgin shooters- oh wait.

You realize angry virgins shoot up due to the accumulation of social rejection right? It's not "oh man I am a virgin after x years time to light some bitches up" it's "I'm constantly socially rejected so I'm going to commit the ultimate social taboo in an effort to show that I still have some power even if I am ignored"
But keep on keeping on with that attitude I'm not the one that's going to get shot.

That sounds like classical autism, but in the case that they are discussing it amongst themselves and you are the one who is getting tired of it, I don't have a lot of suggestions. Find company that better suits you, I suppose, because in that situation, you become the autist by silently seething about everyone else enjoying themselves.

If you're DMing and you feel the players are losing interest, try to appeal more to their tastes. I don't mean pandering, but if you have a group of weebs who deeply enjoy anime, and then you decide to run a historical campaign or something that doesn't really fit their preference, they're gonna feel disconnected.

Like I dunno what you really want from us here. Did you want advice?

Of course not. You wanted to engage in some light circlejerking. This is a blatant bitchpost and you're a blatant bitch. The subject is just an excuse to open a discussion about your problems with an anonymous imageboard when you really, really should be having that conversation with your fucking players.

tl;dr

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GROUP, TALK TO YOUR FUCKING GROUP, NOT 4CHAN.

This reminds of that thing about geek social fallacies that I read.

Yep, went to look it up and it's "Ostracizers are Evil". There's nothing wrong with punting weirdos from your group, and never having even one decent relationship by early adulthood is a pretty solid sign that a person has issues. These people should not be coddled and told that they are fine they are. They aren't. They should be told to get in therapy and make an honest effort to better themselves.

Another thing, social rejection doesn't churn out school shooters. Mental illnesses do.

That has nothing to do with the argument.
Whether or not the lack of social success if the persons own fault or not, it will not stop the bullet from killing you when they go on a mass murder spree out of frustration.

>>51411738
Frustration doesn't make mentally healthy people go on murder sprees, you idiot.

>>51411688
>and never having even one decent relationship by early adulthood is a pretty solid sign that a person has issues.
But it's not? Not having a relationship until you are able to support a family is the norm because that 1 relationship is the only one you're going to get, historically speaking. At best not having a relationship if you've never had a family supporting job is neutral.
And going to college itself doesn't support a family.
>Another thing, social rejection doesn't churn out school shooters. Mental illnesses do.
Considering your criteria for mental illness is social rejection...

If you can't do even that, why are you trying to join a DnD game at all? This is why I don't invite idiot NEETs to my games, because they inevitably throw hissy fits when something doesn't go their way.

Greybeard DM here.

Yes no drug use beyond social drinking allowed at game night and dont show up wasted.

As I get older with more fiduciary, job and familial responsibilities I cherish game time even more.

I have two younger players both under 25 who are good players. However they have loads of free time and yet are the most likely to run late, flake out, forget to bring something, etc.

My fellow family men who are making time to be here every Sunday evening from 6-10:30 are totally dedicated and punctual.

Not even going into stuff like religion, asexuality, or the fact that the guy might just be unlucky in love. The "you must have had a romantic relationship or something is wrong with you" rule makes you sound like a tool.

No, the criteria for people wanting to spend time with you is "don't be a total worthless NEET."

Shower, shave, go out to a party or concert or something, meet some people. If you're in your teens or early 20's it's not at all hard to get a one-month relationship and break your mental taboo about how scary vaginas are and how you'll never be near one.

You don't even need to get laid, just be able to demonstrate that someone might one day choose to spend time with you voluntarily.

People spending time with you isn't the same thing as having a romantic relationship.

>>51411935
Because you are conflating romance with sex.
The point is having proof that you are cognizant enough of acceptable social norms, and a strong indicator of that is a relationship with another person.
Anon, if this bothers you so much, perhaps you could use this as the catharsis to seek positive change for yourself? It's not as hard as you think, shit, I didn't get a girl until I was 25 and decided I wanted better for myself, then did so.

>You don't even need to get laid, just be able to demonstrate that someone might one day choose to spend time with you voluntarily.

fucking this

more important than getting the sex is showing you can actually maintain a friendship outside game night

because gamers who can only socialize over games are what I personally try to avoid

>>51411767
>historically speaking
We aren't talking about history. We're talking about the modern day where highschool students are capable of maintaining lengthy, intimate relationships and college students do so commonly. By the time a person is in their 20's it's not unusual to have had two or three long term relationships and a multitude of shorter ones. You don't need to marry your first girlfriend and pump babies into her to be considered normal.

>Considering your criteria for mental illness is social rejection...
It takes a hardcore mental illness to make somebody rationalize mass murder. Literal insanity. That's not the same as having issues that make you into a fucking weirdo that nobody wants to hang out with. Somebody could have both, but they aren't mutually inclusive.

>>51412009
>Because you are conflating romance with sex
Okay, sexuality is a part of romance.
>, and a strong indicator of that is a relationship with another person.
A strong indicator would just be if you have friends in general.

Why is a ROMANTIC relationship necessary to prove that? You can have tons of close friends you do shit with all the time, but something is obviously wrong with you if you can't attract or maybe don't really want to deal with a romantic partner?

It definitely isn't normal in the 21st century. Social norms change all the fucking time. Only the most hardcore of hardcore religious people buy into that anymore.

>But this has nothing to do with someones mental state. Why do you believe this?
Because it's true. Romance is something that comes naturally to normal people, eccentric people even. If you haven't attracted even one person to you by adulthood, then there is probably something wrong with you. If you're ugly enough to repulse even average looking people, then I don't want to hang out with you.

There's lots of options for places to go. If you're so pathetic you literally have no friends who ever have parties (or their 'parties' are 5 dudes sitting around awkwardly drinking and playing Mario Kart), and you're so empty that you cannot think of a genre of music you enjoy and cannot go see a band that plays that music, then just go to a fucking bar and hit on people. You'll fail miserably, a lot, but at least you're trying and might get lucky

And you don't need to be attractive or have money. I'm a fucking dishwasher/line cook who blew 4 day's pay on a blazer for the party, and a 7/10 at best. I just fucking smile and asked them to dance, and they said yes because, shocking thing, they were there to have fun and women really enjoy dancing. I'm a shitty dancer, but I bobbed to the beat and kept going through multiple songs.

Life is as hard as you make it. Keep putting up reasons why you won't succeed so you don't need to try, then you won't try and will never succeed.

>>51412063
Why, anon?
This is really the opinions of people you will never interact with, and if you have been in groups without problems, what is being said here doesn't apply to you.
A good friend of mine is autistic, but it is a problem in game groups because he can't understand when he is wrong because his interpretations are always correct, not the GM's, on top of a host of other socially unacceptable acts. If you can groove in the group, go forth and do.

This is part of why people say, "be yourself". Because if you try and go as hard at possible at changing yourself, especially when your goal is interacting with other people, you overdo it really easily. If you're too afraid to cold-call, or it hasn't worked out, then join a dating app or go to a singles thing or something. Trust me, there's some girl out there just as desperate as you are.

>>51412083
>What is mass murder but war on a more personal scale?
Are you for real? People kill in war mostly because when it comes to combat they get fucking scared and don't want to die. Literally kill or be killed. What drives people to enlist is different. Maybe they want to fight for their country. Maybe they just don't have anything else in their life. Maybe they just want to kill people (in which case they have mental illnesses and will fail their psychological examination). And what's more the people they're killing aren't their own people that they've grown up with and go to school with and otherwise know on a personal level. They're just people who are trying to kill them.

So yeah, that's pretty different from a person who will gun down the people he knows in cold blood. I can't believe you're trying to justify mass murderers as nothing more than victims of social rejection.

'A' beer with your friends is one thing, normal in North America too. Showing up drunk or hungover regularly, or going out after every session and getting wasted, is not.

Then again we don't have to drink away the pain of being a slav.

The trick of being habitual drunk is that your friends can never tell you're drunk, because they have never seen you sober and take your drunk self for your natural state - which it pretty much is by that point.

I know plenty of assholes that get into relationships with utter fucking bitches all the time.

If "someone has desired this person romantically and this person reciprocated those feelings/vice versa" is a big metric for how you determine if someone is a shithead or not, you're probably a shithead too.

Edison was by all accounts charismatic and great at parties, if a bit self-centered, and he had insane ideas like a concrete house poured into one massive frame that suggests to me that he can think creatively and create interesting situations. I'd absolutely play with him.

Speaking of gaming etiquette, might as well throw my predicament into the lot for second opinion.
I'm sysadmin by trade and I do emergency duty on weekends - meaning I need to have a laptop and phone on me all the time and when there's urgent issue I get a call to fix it. It doesn't happen often and usually takes under 20 minutes to resolve, but it's quite obvious interruption.
Would this be tolerable on a player?

The wizards I play with never bother with dirtying their hands with the actual killing

they just paralyze/put to sleep/immobilize/stun/freeze the enemies (or whomever is in the way) and then they let the other murderhoboes do the murderhoboing.

>>51411571
>Look, man, I know plenty of guy that haven't gotten a girl, but 9/10 times, it's their own fault. It is a decent indicator of social skills.

It's true. Most girls are really just real life NPCs you can get if you solve their quest line. Or just lie a lot.

Regardless of all the rationalization in this thread the sheer amout of /r9k/ faggots insisting their lack of a single relationship doesn't say anything about them/is everyone else's fault is hilarious.

>>51412936

Your belief that performing normal social activities is impossible or unlikely is probably half the reason you're so socially inept.
Going to concerts, making friends via smalltalk, and crashing parties are all pretty standard.

>>51412083
When you say things like this, it just makes it more obvious that there's something wrong with you.
Avoiding weirdos who can't understand why a normal human being would be averse to murder is the whole reason people don't want to hang around with people who can't build meaningful relationships.

>>51413479

It's a basic test for properly socialized behaviors. We are going to play a social game after all. It's Not an absolutely rule. I'm happy to make exceptions but I'm definitely on high alert if an adult has no people or things in thier life other than playing RPGs.

Always remember with prospective new players: There is a reason they are looking for a group.

That reason could be they just moved into town but it could also be they are a huge asshole that has been kicked out of numerous groups or can't get into a group on the first place.

My first locality is to my existing players and keeping retards out of the group. It's going to fall to me as DM to kick out problem players anyway.

People I've kicked out that passed this general test:

1. Army medic dude. Normal looking guy with a girlfriend. Drives like a maniac, very dangerous. Plays exclusively female rogues. Is always trying to steal from party members and Plant stolen look. Passes notes to DM constantly (like note that says "this pizza is good") so as to cloak his note passing when he starts fucking with party. Lasted 3 months of weekly (4-5 hr session) play.

2. Argumentative rules lawyer guy. A married pharmacist. Very intelligent. Very argumentative with myself and with other players. Seemed primarily interested to arguing about rules and exposing loopholes and character builds. This was playing D&D 3.5 so he had ample opportunities. This went on for 6 months of weekly games before I booted him out.

3. Wiccan swinger Dragon Fetish/thinks he is a vampire guy. Skinny guy with very fat wife. Trench coat and chain wearing goth. Constantly late, attempts to inject his dragon and vampire fetish into everything. Had to boot him out because he was routinely hitting on in and out of game one of my single female players to join his bi poly orgy coven. Total fucking creep. Lasted like 6 sessions. I should add sexual deviants and the religiously obsessed.

>>51414243

>>51409088
>Hey want to join my D&D game?
"Sure OK."
>Ok first tell me the last time you had a girlfriend or wife
>Tell me the details too
>ohh yeah that's it

The fuck dude?

>>51414328

That's not how it goes. I meet with all prospective players in a neutral location usually over lunch or coffee to discuss what they are looking for in a game/expectations, character concept, find out about them.

It's not an interrogation session. More of a getting to know you (and decide if I want to let you know where I live).

>>51414359
Honestly an interview a game that formal sends up tons of red flags for me as a player as to the quality of the GM. Particularly asking about my previous relationships.

>>51414243
>>51414196 (You)

Thanks!

>>51414379
As a player, I would be glad to do it if it means joining a group with standards.

>>51414379

Then probally best you don't play with us if asking what you do for a living or asking about your family etc is bothersome to you. If you think I ask for a captians log of your sexual conquests your autism is showing.

>>51414379

So let's put the shoe on the other foot. If you were the hosting DM you would invite a stranger to your home without knowing a little bit about that person besides they like elf games?

>>51414426
If you did ask for a log of sexual conquests, I have a feeling he would be handing in a blank sheet of paper.

>>51414426 #
Asking what I do for a living is fine. I'm currently single and a GM asking about previous girlfriends throws up the red flags. I don't feel like previous relationships pertain to the game and someone I just met asking me to recount some number of previous relationships is what I do not like.

But really how do you ask the question in a way that does not seem obtrusive if you get the answer of "I'm single" when you ask about their relationships. In fact how do you frame asking about their relationships?

>>51414359
I wanted to say you're overly paranoid, but if the gaming happens at your place I think it's justifiable precaution.

>>51414379
It's quite simple to drop a line or two in the course of conversation, you might not even notice you're being questioned.

>>51414465
Asking about my current relationship, job, etc. does not phase me. Asking about past ones is what does.

>>51409088
i am KV as well, without pointless trolling,if you had before you a person who definitely does know how to deal with people,has friends and is aware of social norms and all that, would you accept him?

>>51414493
>It's quite simple to drop a line or two in the course of conversation, you might not even notice you're being questioned.
I have had people try to do this and it is supremely obvious when people are digging for information.

See the asking about past relationship again is the part I focus on as something obtrusive. Like I said I am currently single but during college I had a long term girlfriend. I do not want to talk about that relation with someone I just met and someone digging for it is obvious if they want to know something besides the fact I am currently single.

Literally all you have to say to get past that part of the test.

>>51414590
Generally if I know someone so little that an interview like this is required then I don't know them well enough to talk about old relationships. Really what I'm seeing is that the actual details matter far less than how someone conducts themselves in conversation and if the GM in this case has to know I put it as more of a fault on him.

>>51414669
I don't care that it is. The fact that the GM felt the need to ask puts me at I do not want to play with this GM or am at least wary.

>>51414698

Yes of course. I am trying to keep our problem players that I will invetiably kick out.

I don't actually care if you have a job, girlfriend or non nerdy interests. What I care about is if we can all have fun playing together based on some basic basic indicators of socialization.

Our autistic friends in this thread have tried to spin this. As if I am some sort of CIA interrogator.

>>51414698
>am at least wary.
Good, then you can be sure that the GM is just as wary of inviting you into their home.

>a litmus test is just a series of questions to learn about a person, no big deal
Do you even know what a litmus test is, and what it entails?

You've been going around bragging about your "easy litmus test" for new players at your table, but now you're flat-out admitting you don't even have a clue what that term means or how it's used?

>>51409088
What if you just aren't interested in relationships or sex? I have a normal, healthy friend group and pass 1. and 3., but I'm just not interested in fucking or gfs/bfs. I mean, I get why most people want them and can understand it intellectually, but it's just not for me.

>>51409088
Can probably condense it to:
>any other hobbies?
>do you have any obligations?

>>51415711
Too autistic, I wouldn't want you in my group.

>>51415686
>he thinks I'm OP
Anon, you are really showing how stupid you are.
I'll waste a few minutes more on you: the point of the litmus test is to get a person talking, to learn about them and how they conduct themselves. It is a clue, not an all encompassing design, and OP even said it himself.
What the questions do is give you an idea of who the person is and how they conduct themselves among others. People who flub 2 of the 4 questions are likely not the sort you want in your home to game with.
>>51415738
Doesn't really get people talking, anon. It seems everyone is missing the point where you are supposed to learn about people from this, not use it as an end all, be all.

>>51415738
>>do you have any obligations?
To my family, the God and the country.

Obviously he's a Roman or the like and referring to his specific household deity.

>It is a clue, not an all encompassing design
Then that's the problem, because that's not what a litmus test is.

Also, that's not OP you dip, OP fell off the radar long ago

It's worse when your DM keeps basing games off them, and switching every 3 sessions. I only got to level 2 with him once in about half a year.

Forever DM here, literal years of experience and a wicked sense of humour. I have an easy litmus test for prospective players.

1. Has gainful employment to pay my exorbiant entrance fees for the masterful fantasy I craft with my razor sharp wit.

2. Has a romantic spouse they are willing to allow me free access to when not DMing. No questions asked. Kids too, while we're at it.

3. Has hobbies to keep them distracted while I bang their spouse.

4. (Not required, but prefered) Large friend/family member to help keep undesirables away from my house on game night and scare off food delivery drones before I render payment unto them.

5. Washes hands after using the bathroom. At all.

>>51415739
Cool, I don't want autists who think that the apex of the human experience is sticking it into someone/getting it stuck into you in my group, either.

Im tired of hearing about dms who think theyre the top shit on earth I tend to dm a lot amongst my friends, I dont cobsider myself eveb that good a dm but someone has to do it. Everytime I try a new dm they have to be some smug english major, cant do any races you want to play because thats special snowflake, says they want a roleplaying campaign but no one really does it. Talks about how smart they are and how gripping the campaign will be when its just surface level.

I have to hand it to them for making me want to dm again but god damn, you can be a strict dm without being a smug asshole.

If you did ever have a real gf, I would have killed myself for being with you too.

>>51409088
Other DM here, I personally have no interest whatsoever in having a relationship, and it has been this way since I was 10 (I'm over 40)
I don't know if I happen to hit a very specific color of autism, because I would describe myself as pretty normal outside of this, and my family used to worry over this for a while, but I never grew out of it

>>51416830
Sounds like you're just asexual.

>>51413896
For an average person ? it depends really, if anything, recent studies have shown that the average first kiss is both progressing and regressing, meaning that while a portion of the population does solve all of their socialisation early (before 14), others will do way after, sometimes after their 30s

>>51412271
>Maybe they just want to kill people (in which case they have mental illnesses and will fail their psychological examination)

This is a meme. Assuming you do above average on your physical and have mental endurance, they won't give a shit as long as you can keep it hush hush.

>>51417292
I work as a second in command in my company's marketing department, so I might get the seat one day, or simply move to another company
If you mean stuff more related to my hobbies, I've written a few books, nothing too serious, but I plan to get something more personal published one day
I'm also coding something on the side but it's nothing too interesting, it's just for fun

>>51417046
See, the thing is dumbasses think that's what they want to hear, and get themselves disqualified.

>>51417391

>all these faggots who won't accept players being a tad tipsy or high during the game

Enjoy being high on life and nothing else. I just think life could use a little boost every once in a while. Not like it interferes with the game or other players who choose not to indulge or anything.

So the apartment we play in dosen't allow smoking, and the guy who never pays attention to the game pulls out a vape and tries to take a sneaky puff under his scarf. God I hate him so much.

>>51418336
Is vaping considered smoking in your country?

>>51418336

You shouldn't be concerned, vaping doesn't leave a residue, lingering smell, or stain.

>>51418520
>>51418559
The notice said no vaping too.

>>51418573

I meant what I said, you still shouldn't be concerned. The landlord is just covering their own arse. Standard rental agreements don't allow pets either, but cats, rodents, reptiles and other clean animals will normally be politely ignored, assuming that you're a decent tenant.

My point about stains, smells and residue was that unless your landlord is doing surprise inspections while you're playing, some dude vaping in the living room once a fortnight isn't going to threaten your lease.

Sounds like you maybe hate him for other reasons, though, and since he's wearing a scarf indoors and still vaping despite being explicitly asked not to, I can definitely see why.

>>51418188
If they're getting annoyed by it, then it probably is interfering with the game

>>51418697
>and since he's wearing a scarf indoors and still vaping despite being explicitly asked not to, I can definitely see why.
Well, apparently the vaper is also considerate enough to provide you with convenient opportunity of just grabbing both ends of his scarf and pulling them each in separate direction. Chances are he'll be into it too.

>>51404725
Stop playing with children.

>>51412028
I work five days a week. If I rest one of the other two days and game on the remaining day then I fail your standards. Which is ok with me, since it occurs to me your surplus of free time probably means you're not someone I would respect anyway.

fun fact: elliot never asked a single girl out. He was never rejected.

By reading his manifesto you can see that really he thought that all girls were passively rejecting him by not asking him out. This is classic autist behavior also shown by the likes of chris-chan. Elliot is a product of bad parenting and autism, not social rejection.

I thought of responding to some of the hapless anons in the thread, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
Have a screencap instead.

Remember when socializing both at the game and in the outside world, that having a wide range of interests can only improve your ability to relate to others.
Also, having both physical and mental interests is a good idea, because you never know if a horribly traumatic accident will totally devastate your mental or physical ability, leaving you with only one.

>>51412191
It's not so much if you pass you're good as it is that if you fail you're hopeless. Of course it always comes down to how well you can get along with the group, but if you failed that the odds are slim to none and it's a waste of effort to include you.

>>51412266
As the other anon pointed out, a lot of people have "selves" that aren't currently capable of functioning in society without sperghing. They are right to want to improve, just stupid in the method. It's like trying to make oneself more healthy by consuming just sugars and fats: basically they need to work smarter not harder.

>Not exploiting religious fanaticism

I DM and I've learned that the best test is this
1. Do they share the same sense of humor with the rest of the group
2. Do they have a spouse or whatever the fuck people call the person they care about. The reason this is here is because there was this one player who was fucking great but his fucking boyfriend loved to do shit on the fucking game day and showed up late all the fucking time. It was a goddamn nightmare.
3. Do they actually have the ability to roleplay versus just sitting there like a dead possum, waiting for someone to interact with them
4. Can they regularly make it around on time to sessions
If the answers are
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
4. Yes, then let them in

I'm in med school and I'm going to become a physician in two years. I've never held hands with a girl. Would you let me play with your group, normies?

I have banned all elves from my campaigns because players don't know how to not make them non-edgy/stereotypical.

Nothing wrong with a player with a SO, as long as they actually play.

Wouldn't agree as college students are most common shit players,and you can easily be a massive dick and in relationship (but I realize you mean horny virgins)

>>51425063
Elliot didn't grow up in a vacuum with his parents exclusively. His social interactions certainly mattered.

>>51425835
Parents are responsible for the development of their children, including their social development.
I don't know enough about the individual to say how much the parents are at fault or what actions they took, but you know when your kid is not socializing well.

>>51425664
>pic
I remember that

You are right but I've also my players are very emotional people that get super depressed whenever the person they're dating treats them badly. Nothing is worse in a session than when the tank starts getting super sad and goes onto the coach to cry for thirty minute while the rest of the party awkwardly waits for it to end.
