With my disguise rolls they might not even be aware that they replaced me. There is also the possibility that I am the new guy.

>>52730897
My character is a sniper.

The end.

>>52730897
The current party is all from the same homeland.
My character is best friends with two of the others.
Everyone is also heavily involved in the politics of the land.
Not only would they not invite her, they couldn't even conspire to leave her specifically out without resorting to some real cloak and dagger shittery.

>>52730897
I guess that I just enjoy retirement.

Pretty sad honestly.

>>52730897
Obviously cry like the little bitch that I am, over the fact that my super speshal friends replaced me with another person.
I would then force them to take me back, resulting in many awkward moments of one-upsmanship between me and the new guy, as I'm very clearly overstaying my welcome.
The group would eventually call me on my shit and I would suffer an identity crisis, betray the party, get the new guy killed, then redeem myself in the final battle with the BBEG and ultimately die.

Cue tearful send off and uncalled for third movie in the "trilogy".

Good, fuck off I'm busy
I won't even miss the pay

>is currently a space faring warlord with a ship capable of blowing up planets

Yeah, my PC has better things to be doing. Maybe he'll come by and killsteal a big fight at the most.

Isn't this really weird? I mean, it seems I, as the player, have decided to roll up a different character for the rest of the campaign, so why would I also want to bring back my old character? Would be really strange, wouldn't that make my old character a NPC that the GM brings back? That'd be ok I guess?

>>52730897
Since my character has become the new BBEG for all intents and purposes, he wouldn't give a shit. They're all going to die anyway. That's what happens when your character gets the Crovax treatment when the party leaves you for dead.

>>52730897
Kick back and relax. Either they solve the new quest on their own while I'm out here being glorious, or, more realistically, something stupid happens that they can't deal with, even with that dashing knockoff of myself, and I'm temporarily dragged back into their shenanigans.

>>52730897
Probably by not being suprised in the slightest, since part of my 'retirement' included faking my death and getting a new identity.

There will be other quests and other parties, but at least my former allies are proving they won't be a liability.

>>52730897
They found another god?! I'll be too amused to take action.

I'm pretty sure my party would look for the Paladin if there was true evil to be fought. If there wasn't demons and liches to be fought, then I doubt he'd care much, because assuming he survives this campaign, he'll probably continue on hunting evil long after the party disbands.

>>52730897

My character is a steampunk sky captain that has managed to marry his way into one of the biggest kingdoms of the land.

He doesn't give a shit no more.

>>52730897
Go back to fucking all the hot girls the wizard can't get.

>>52734259
>steampunk

In all likelihood, he doesn't give a shit. He only joined to fulfill his quest, so it's not like he had an investment to continue afterwards regardless, and if they thought they were coming up with an excuse to replace him, that only reinforces his worldview.

I make shitty exploitative loner characters in the hope that they will learn to appreciate friendship throughout the journey, but if he got beta-kicked then that probably didn't happen.

>>52730897
Too busy faffing about in my demiplane to care tbhfam.

>>52730897
My party is absolutely going to reform without me to fight a new threat.

That new threat is me. I spared them because they amused me. Like pets.

I'm retired no, so who cares

>>52730964
Turns out playing shit 'good necromancer' concepts is a cliche and not the super innovative original concept you thought it was.

>>52730897
Accept life as always being the one who will be forgotten, because the reason he got into the party was from being left behind by another group.

The weak should fear the strong.

Had a character get lynched, but not die, the party didn't do jack shit, and moved on without a care in the world.

Character was sort of a changeling so came back under a different guise to get revenge.

Good. He made a positive impact on them. He continues to guard the amber temple with exanther.

>>52730897
Considering the fact that we all work and live in the same military compound, that sounds really awkward.

Regardless, he has no plans to return to farming, so he's probably just going to leverage his rank as an officer and his personal reputation into getting a nice job somewhere in the organisation. Maybe as an instructor.

He'd be upset that he's been replaced, but it's not like retirement hasn't been on his mind already. He'd be a lot more bothered by it if it had happened earlier in his career, when he didn't have anything to fall back on.

This. It's easier for me to be a bully when I'm the city slumlord instead of some nobody adventurer.

Form a new group, show up to the dungeons and locations I know they'd be interested in and get the treasure before they do.

Easy peasy.

But I'd only do it once or twice to be a dick back to them and then go off and do my own thing again. Someone that chases around another group of people just to make their lives miserable without goals of their own is just a tool. If I retired there's a reason for it and I'm probably running a business or something. I can't be bothered being pissed forever. Just one or two return dick overs is all I need, then I can resume doing whatever the fuck I do.

HAH! I knew it! I knew they would betray me when in suited them. They never took me seriously. Never saw the battle prowess and deadliness of a proud Ratling warrior. But they've fucked up now.

Time to build an army to "help" them during the last battle, and then use my army to take the treasure or macguffin or virgin sacrifice or whatever they're trying to rescue. That shit is mine now.

Yeah, I can learn more without having to follow this group around.

... Maybe I should stalk them, just in case they manage to become a part of an important story that should be recorded. For history.

Considering that there aren't many rogues, fighters, or spellswords anywhere near their level, much less a single person that's all three, that would narrow the replacement down to his younger sister. The party is good people, as well as capable, so she's in good hands. He would probably just send a letter wishing them luck, asking them to watch out for her, and to hit him up if they need him, but otherwise continue enjoying his retirement. Maybe stop by the guild she's in charge of to make sure things are still going smoothly while she's away.

>>52736265
Uh, yeah, it's all made up. That's kind of the point of TTRPGs. Are you sure you're on the right board?

He moves on to the next step of his plan, and prepares the ambush. These fuckers need to learn how to use their heads without me, so who better to teach them than their former party tactician? Hell, if myself, a few minor magical items, and some hired help end up being too much of a "threat" for them, then they sure as hell aren't going to survive what's coming, with or without me.

I'm not a bad guy, sometimes people just need a little tough love. Sometimes that love involves showing them how fucking badly things go when they saunter into things without a plan. They'll be thankful it was actually me rather than someone legitimately trying to kill them.

Can't say she would be surprised; mercenary pay is good, and you can't honestly expect those guys to hold a promise for too long.

Hurt but understanding, I suppose.

She's known all along that she was out of place in this world of heroes and monsters and she'd just been dragged along for the ride.

If I was actually an adventurer IRL, and this shit happened to me, I'd honestly feel really betrayed. Probs just stew about it with my retirement funds, muttering on about how I could do better; and when they came back as conquering heroes, I'd probably just be like "Oh, hahahahahaha, wow, that's so cool, I'm so happy for you guys!", but in the inside I'd be like "wtf I hate insensitivity now!"

While the other Noble is busy adventuring with my group, I gather up my resources in money and men, trying to intrigue aganist his house and telling everyone that all the murderhobo stuff my ex party is doing is all a result of the fuckers bad influence. When his family is dishonored, their land is mine, I will lean back in my comfty chair and puts his sisters had while shes sitting on my crotch, (not entirely because revenge, but in the kingdom the most things are either solved by duell or political marriage)

Corvax dude here. I will admit, the whole idea of our campaign was to be edgy and who can out edge the next guy. I believe I beat them because I played the good character that slowly became evil till I was left for dead, and then it got cranked to 12.

>the other horsemen Trying to replace the settings current incarnation of the horseman known as death(who just so happens to be a shitty little ratfolk skeleton)
Looks like he's going to have to remind the others who was given dominion over a fourth of the earth.

If your wondering, it started out as your typical high fantasy evil party campaign, and now over a year later the party is now in the lower mythic tiers slowly becoming the four horsemen with my lich taking the obvious role of death with hades on his heels. Hell just last session our rogue was the first to earn the title of the horseman Conquest.

It's been a wild ride so far, the kicker is we're supposed to be some how saving the planet, at least that was the original plan.

>>52730897
Well considering my last character, who was generally on good terms with the party, discovered that if she continued along her path she would go bat-shit insane if she kept collecting a bunch of artefacts of great importance to her family...

So insane to the point as killing a good chunk of the party, being hunted down by the remainder, and destroying a number of worlds in her path...

Yeah I can see why they might have not invited her after that. Using an artefact to look into the future was a good call, I guess.

>>52750285
And because I forgot to mention, this was during a Dark Heresy campaign. Involving Haarlock. My character ended up being a very very very distant relative.

Fairly well as the first thing hed di is abandon his lordly responsibilities to go fight things
"BLOOD AND GLORY! Our compatriots forgot to send us word for help! Come squire we must make haste if we are to arrive in a timely matter!"

He would plough his fields, then plough his wife, and maybe eat some baked turnips and head down to the local public house to buy the local lads a round and talk about the harvest.

>>52730897
My character is a brainwashed assassin on a one-year bodyguard contract for a specific PC in our party.
So I guess he'd probably not care too much, but follow them from a distance and attempt to intervene if his customers life became endangered.
Pretty sure his Guild wouldn't give a flying fuck if his customers left him behind intentionally. If that fucking halfling winds up dead, then someone is getting flayed, so yeah. He'd follow, but stay out of sight.

>>52748027
It's pretty much what happens when a group is too passive aggressive to just kick a guy out of their group.
