I swear, jackposters are worse than doomposters when it just came out.

One got close, but that was 'off screen.' He was a dwarf who blamed himself for being laid up when his unit of shieldbreakers was wiped out, and convinced himself that he was a malingering coward.

Fuck off, jackposter.

Several of my characters I've had to give up simply because the DM stopped running. Almost all of them, actually. It's hard to find a good game. :(

>>52342055
So that's a yes.

>>52342125
I know that feeling.

To be honest, I might have said "all" instead of "several," as there's always the chance that my "current" (read: our last session was months ago) characters will never see the light of day again either, with how infrequent and nondependable my current DM is.

Yes, it was after a DM I met on Roll20 did the stereotypical schlocky thing and had my character's family murdered then, the session after, have everyone hate our group and think they were responsible.

Before all of this the DM was already kinda shitty, so when we were thrown into jail and Convenient Escape Plan came up, my character leaned back in his bed, closed his eyes, and told them to go on without him.

I don't even know if they hung around for the execution, because I know I didn't. That's my greatest regret from that campaign, I never got to see how many contrived "out cards" the DM would offer my character from the hangman's noose.

Eventually he gave up on the idea that he will come back alive and he is fine with it since in his death his family will live in the lap of luxury until their natural deaths, which is something he made sure will happen if his own life ends abruptly.

I thought it was a stale Frozen reference under disguise.

A few times, mostly after the DM pulled the whole "kill your loved ones to motivate you" thing. They're always so shocked that something like that could break a man.

Only reason she hasn't is that offing herself would let the daemon some cunt put in her head out, which would fuck things up even more than they already are.

To be fair, the mass murder of your loved ones usually isn't enough to make pull out your knife then and there, it's a combination of the murder of your loved ones and something else, typically the unavailability of revenge.

If the big bad slaughters your wife and baby and is standing right there, normally you'd try to kill him. If the big bad does the same thing only teleportals out to some unreachable land? Now's the time for some bullet salad.

She found out her entire life was an overly elaborate script courtesy of a talented team of script writers.
Everyone but her immediate work friends were all in on it, and only because they were victims in the exact same boat.
Even her long-term boyfriend is in on it. Specifically to keep her from potentially seeing anyone from outside the conspiracy.

Worst still, she wasn't even the original. She's currently the thirty-third duplicate. The original took a bullet to her skull during a shoot-out over five years ago.

She got determined again on meeting an earlier duplicate who wasn't religious. She took this as evidence she had free will and discovered religion independently of her 'script'.
In actuality, she was created to be religious and her duplicate wasn't for inconsequential reasons. She doesn't know this though

No.
