OH NO
YOU'VE DONE IT NOW OP

I have some basic rules

>players must be able to do 5 pushups or run a 5k
>must be able to write in cursive
>must be able to drive or ride a bike
>no new rocks, converse, crocs or skechers
>no tracksuits, sweatpants, tighty-whities or t-shirts

>>53198537
>How would you check someone's underwear?

>Also do you change the no T-shirts rule in summer?

>>53198478
What's wrong with sweatpants? They're comfy.

Session zero in my games takes place over multiple events

1) Test of Fitness - pushups or timed 5k. Running shoes permitted. No sneakers or "sk8r shoez". Kit is proper running shoes, track shorts, singlet.

2) Test of Virility - all contestants drop trou and grapple in the ring of judgment. If you are attuned with the mighty Spartoi or proud men of Hellas and thus grapple skyclad as in the Olympic Pankration, bonus XP is awarded.

3) Creation of characters - 3d6 down the line drop lowest.

>>53198686
Only after these trials can the games begin. The strong and virile sit at my table, the weak are left on a wolf-infested hillside like a Spartan baby.

>>53198718
>>53198686

>3) Creation of characters - 3d6 down the line drop lowest.

Fuck off

>>53198350
Listen when the GM is talking.
Keel off-topic discussions to a bare minimum during game time.
Don't be a dick.
You may only consume up to 2 alcoholic beverages during game time. After the session has concluded you're free to drink yourself into a coma.

That's really all I've ever needed.

>>53198478
I'm adopting these. Fuck man-childeren and retards.

>>53198760
Point buy is to wrest creation from the hands of the divine. One is not master of one's own fate. The roll of the dice is part of the ritual.

>>53198760
They get kicked? Run your own god damn game if you want to pussy pick attribrutes

Be sure to include the grappling. A man who won't strip to his underwear, oil up with sacred unguents and grapple beneath the eyes of mighty Zeus is no man.

>>53198787
> You may only consume up to 2 alcoholic beverages during game time. After the session has concluded you're free to drink yourself into a coma.

THIS! No, you are not more creative, or more in character, or funny, or interesting when you are so drunk you can barely stand. It does not "enhance the experience." It detracts from it for the rest of us who have to deal with your slobbering, incoherent, bumbling mess.

While game is going on, a small buzz is ok, but stay mostly sober and coherent. After the game, if you want to go at it so hard you end up a complete mess we leave on the floor of the bathroom, and you wake up two days later, go right ahead.

This goes for getting high too.

>>53198881
I prefer another rule

If you drink, you match the GM drink for drink.

>>53198350

>We're playing in a game store, so keep the language PG-13: not my rule, the store owners demand it in case kids are around
>No phones, laptops, or vidyas at the table, that's just common courtesy
>In addition to running your character, you're probably going to have a side-job: the mapper maps, the banker keeps track of party funds, the quartermaster keeps track of party inventory, and the caller relays to the referee where everyone is and who's doing what (speeds gameplay tremendously by cutting down on redundancy, contradiction, players shouting over each other with actions, and That One Guy who doesn't want you to notice that he's apparently teleporting around so that he can participate in every action and scene)

>>53198350

>>53198881

>>53198350
>>everyone must use a coaster, no exceptions

Our table is in the center of the room, and along the wall on both sides of the table, is a shelf/bar.

>No drinks on the table. Ever. Reach behind you to get a drink.

>>53199400
You only need a backpack if you're camping or going to school.

Briefcases, duffel bags, carrier bags or satchels are all permitted.

>>53198350
I HAVE ONE RULE

>>53199548
What is it?

>>53199502
The way things are set up in America, it's practically impossible to function as a productive adult if you can't drive. There are exceptions, like bigger cities, but the vast majority of places basically require you to have a car. Lacking even a driver's license is a telltale sign of NEET-hood in America.

You must have arms like spaghetti if you think these are anywhere near equivalent. I'm a 300+ lbs fatty, but I can do significantly more than 5 pushups.

There is a huge difference in the fitness required to do these two tasks. Up the number of push ups if you want this to be relevant.

Also I'm a fat ass but I run a 5k every weekday. You fucked up kid.

>>53198478

>3) Creation of characters - 3d6 down the line drop lowest

That shit is dumb as fuck, however I have a question for the non-retarded itt. I enjoy the randomness of rolling for states but point buy generally gives players lower stats. So what I want to know is their a way to roll for states and maintain a generally lower set of stats for players?

The problem is one of my groups is pure cancer, one of the players literally made a "lol I'm a bear" character, but everyone rolled pretty normally except for one player rolled three 18s for in his stats the other don't go below 14. He has ruined the game because he is the best at everything, He, as a barbarian, is more intelligent than the wizard, more charismatic than the bard, and more dexterous than the rouge. How can I stop that shit from happening in future games.

Also if anyone is interested, no I can not leave the group or disband it because the group is made up of my girlfriend and her college friends and she doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings or "lose friends" because I don't want to DM for them anymore.

Fap under the table, not above.

>He has ruined the game because he is the best at everything, He, as a barbarian, is more intelligent than the wizard, more charismatic than the bard, and more dexterous than the rouge. How can I stop that shit from happening in future games.
Stop using systems where your stats account for 90% of your character's ability to influence events within the game environment.

If you get really drunk or high and do something stupid, no take backs.

We are in this together, but this is mostly about you guys.

If you are having an unfun time, tell me and we will work out how to make it fun again.

>>53198787
I like all of your rules, but the drinking one is a bit sticky. I drink a lot and I'm a big guy, 2 drinks does essentially nothing to me, and what's more is I sometimes have a lot of difficulty loosening up enough to be a good GM. Being a little drunk helps me relax and not worry so much about whether or not I'm doing a good job. I agree that you shouldn't get drunk drunk at a game: if it becomes a problem I just remove the player or end the session; I once kicked a guy out because he wouldn't ever be sober enough to okay after an hour, But everyone else got the hint. Weed though, is 100% banned, I've never seen anyone including myself be anything but a sleepy bore while playing high.

>>53200452
Having one player have high stats isn't a huge issue.

What he's got 18 INT compared to the wizzards 16-17? That's a +1 difference, and I can tell you after items and level progression, the wizard will have more INT in the end. Same goes for everyone else. Especially since it's a barbarian anyway. If he doesn't have any caster levels, he's not going to be doing much with a high INT, he won't be sneak attacking regardless of his DEX.

This is pretty much it.
My players are fucking adults, for fuck's sake, and I expect them to be able to uphold them to the standards of human dignity without me explicitly throwing the RURUS at them.

The real question here, though, is why the fuck do you feel the need to explicitly throw rules at people?
Are you so socially inept that you have to resort to the X-card equivalent? Or are your players so socially inept that they don't understand when they are being shitters? If so, why the fuck do you continue playing with them, you limp-wristed faglord?

225 at 6'0" is obese. 210 is overweight.

>>53198350
Usually, my only rule is no cell phones. The reason for that is I had a player who I think had legitimate ADHD, and the temptation to get on his phone while playing was too strong.
Otherwise my players are okay enough that I don't have to hammer down anything drastic. Perhaps just wait for me to finish when I'm describing something, before asking questions.

>>53199735
Well yes I do.
Outside of America it's cursive or nothing anon. I did not need to write in non-cursive since I left the kindergarten.

I can't the the only person that thinks it's autistic to need a bunch of rules rather than feel out some basic social boundaries. Only the most insufferable manchildren will not adapt to the social climate they are in, so 99% of screening for people is just being mature, having modest expectations, and discretely moving away from people that cross a lot of lines. That's overall a much better way of establishing good manners than "He likes/wears X, REEEEEEEEEEEE"

Besides, as much as every one of you would like to pretend you are tabletop virtuosos with a waiting list people contesting for a position in your life, most people play tabletop games because they are warm bodies. Coming up with fantasies of having gamers lined up to serve you like you're a princess that has come of age and seeks a suitor isn't going to somehow make the average gamer you meet in real life more pleasant company.

What if we allowed the player or DM some control of the characters attributes? Like if they were playing a wizard, they could prioritize intelligence. Of course, you would have to make sure that they couldn't have high stats on average and that some would be medium or low scores. That way, the players would be more fairly challenged.

Either you accept your "problem" as a part of the game just like the "roll3d6 down line u pussy XD" crowd, or you use the obvious solutions available.

IC justifications are closely investigated, and if it fails to justify leaving your allies behind every time a moskito farts then you get the Falling Rocks treatment.

>"Nothing unreasonable" rule :
Don't smoke, don't drink unreasonably, don't fart if ladies are in the room, don't hit on other people, don't hit other people. Show respect and thanks to the host. If you have extreme political views try to keep them on the memetic level. Bad jokes about blacks and arabs are ok as long as they are extremely obvious and the token black or arab person is in the room, avoid otherwise. Take your hat off when inside a building. Be clean or at least do not smell bad. Stay clean during the game, especially when using someone's dice or books. Keeps memes IC to an acceptable level. Provide advice for players and DM, especially when we play a new system. Errare humanum est. Sharing food is encouraged. Don't play with food. No overt suggestive clothing (men or women). No rape IC, pervert RP is ok as long as its not invasive (if it is cf : Falling rocks)
No social justice, no discrimination based on gender or race. If you get triggered because of trivial shit you're out of the room. Don't judge lest you want to be judged. No weapons, if you disagree you'll be pleased to know that the GM has his ordnance weapon under his bed. Don't interiorize everything, if you have a problem with a player or the game, say it. Don't metagame overtly. GM word is law except when opposed by the majority of players. Do not bring animals to the table. You have full access to your devices but are expected to pay attention when someone is doing something relevant to the game. You're free to have fun as long as you don't trample over the fun of other people.
Don't be a dick/cunt, please.

>>53201291
Who cares, you turned a 1 point issue into a 3 point issue. Except I highly doubt this barbarian didn't put his 18's into his physicals, so he probably had maybe 15-16 INT. Either way it doesn't matter, he's still a barbarian, he still can't do a lot of things the other classes can.

With high stats, he's going to be really strong early because no one has a lot of their core abilities yet, later on even with absurdly high stats, he's going to be lacking in all kinds of utility and many other things. With stats like that, your party has a solid mid-late game tank, why not have your group utilize that instead of crying?

These are all good ideas and things that should really go without saying. Of course there is a lot of nuance to social activities and gaming. Boundaries can be tightened or loosened depending on the situation. Remember, you are spending hours with some people. You might as well try to be a good acquaintance and have modest expectations of such.

Of course, this feels like literal autism incarnate to try to codify the basics of behaving in public. More power to the people that learn something from reading that sort of thing, I've been there and improving that aspect of your life can be a difficult journey that never really ends.

Unfortunately, I've got a good feeling that many autists think they are trolls baiting and making fun of autists, and don't have the self awareness to see that the world is reacting to them out of pity and not anger.

Thanks for the suggestion, I guess I'll play FATAL instead because you seem to imply that any system that isn't D&D is a good one.

>is their a way to roll for states and maintain a generally lower set of stats for players?

Here is the question I've ask, so far no one has even attempted to answer, instead I've had people bitch about D&D, complain that I'm a shitty player when I'm the DM, and generally be assholes. I'm so glad /tg/ is become more like /a/. If the answer is no, then great, say that or say nothing. If you think the problem is the system then say that and suggest an alternative. Just saying that D&D is shit doesn't help me, I know that system has major issues, you reminding me that it sucks doesn't help me with my problem.

>>53201682
>is their a way to roll for states and maintain a generally lower set of stats for players?
What do you mean by this?
Are you asking "How do you roll for stats and not have one guy win the dice lottery?", or are you asking "How do you roll for stats and wind up with a particular mean?"?

>>53201642
Yeah I don't really have to say those rules before every game. Especially since I only play with the same 5 to 9 people. Since we all met as friends of friends we all share the same values etc. so no problem outside of rule 1 from time to time.
However even if these are not spelled out loud, expect them to be enforced.
And you'd be surprised how much you sometime have to teach the very basics of societal behaviour to "adult" people

>>53201519
>Don't spoil anything IC even if you've read the book/know the setting. OOC spoilers are OK as long as they don't go too much in detail.
Is it acceptable if all my spoilers are three editions out of date?

>>53201682
>D&D is a bad system
>DURRRR HOKAY I'LL JUST PLAY FATAL BECUZ YOU SAY D&D IS THE ONLY BAD SYSTEM

I'm not that poster, but you seem more concerned with starting an online argument than finding solutions.

Have you read the latest edition of Barbarians of Lemuria? It's pretty great.

>>53201748
It is if everyone at the table knows it already and just momentarily forgot it. In this case the GM would ask for a knowledge check.
If even one of the player does'nt know about it it is unacceptable

>>53201682

Seeing that I only know crocs from that list, I think we're safe.

It's ok, I can go topless and commando.

Pink handbag it is.

I'm 64 kg at 1.86 and yes, I still can hike 20 km with 25 kg backpack in mountains. Think outside burgerland, fattie.

The second, maintaining the random aspect of rolling for states but lowing the mean stat outcomes.

>yeah don't play D&D fag

Yup I'm the one starting shit. If I'm coming off as mean spirited then I'm sorry but that "lol have you tried not playing D&D" meme gets posted in almost every thread on this board so that "advice" does help. When I ask for suggestions I was talking about suggestions for systems that maybe has less of a stat focus or something like that, help me out, give me something to work with rather than shitting all over me for asking for help.

>>53201682
Your problem isn't your system of rolling for stats, it's that the player with three 18s cheated.

>>53201921
Living in Burgerland warps your perception. The majority of the "normal" looking people you see are overweight, and you don't even realize it until you spend some time somewhere without such a fat population.

>>53201903
>The second, maintaining the random aspect of rolling for states but lowing the mean stat outcomes.
Oh, that's easy as hell. Start with point buy, then roll dice to see how many points you dump into each stat.
For example, on a 20 point buy:
Roll 1d6 to decide which stat to start with. Roll 1d20 to decide how many points to spend on it.
Roll 1d5 to select the next stat, roll 1d(remaining points) to see how many to spend, repeat repeat get to the last stat and dump all remaining points there.
If there's any points left over, let the player choose where to dump them.

>>53201971
I dunno, man, looking at images of people who are, say, 6'3" and 200 pounds, does provide a wide range of body types from chubby to ripped.

But 1/10, made me reply.

>>53201971
Oh come on you can't all be THAT fat.
I mean we kinda see on TV etc the really fat ones but that's not all of the population.

>>53201948
Wallis?

>>53201396
Nah they're right, the bmi is actually being used less by doctors to determine overweight since it does not account for body or muscle content. Muscle weighs more than fat and so many Olympic athletes would be considered overweight by that list. More doctors are going by body fat percentage, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar and stuff like that.

>>53201971
Living in goatfuckerstan may keep you skinny but in no way means you're healthy.

>>53200169
I feel you man, I mean what is the reason of working out if not to be able to eat like a fucking pig

>>53199064
I can technically write in cursive but my writing is genuinely awful, so I don't.

>>53202446
Same here aside from my signature my cursive is awful.
There really isn't much reason to practice it.
Even when I was in college it was faster to type out notes on a laptop than write in cursive easier to read too.

>>53199064
Nope, they teach typing instead now.

Nah, mate. You're a fatty.

>>53201352
Eh, the use of BMI as a standard of health/obesity is fucking ridiculous, and was not intended for such a thing when it was made.

>>53202105
BMI is far from perfect, but unless you're an edge case(like freakishly tall, or an athlete/bodybuilder), it's pretty accurate for such a simple and easy-to-do calculation.

>>53203538
Didn't you know that everyone on /tg/ is incredibly ripped and natty, which is why their BMIs are so high? It certainly has nothing to do with the hobby being full of overweight nerds.

Wtf. Burgers never cease to amaze me. Cursive is just what you use when handwriting. Its much faster.

Here we actually have a lot of shit to write in school and Uni.

>>53198587
>Short sleeve shirts are a thing dipshit, get some fashion sense
I thought the point of your ridiculous rules was to weed out autists, not select for them.

This one seems a bit disproportionate.

>pay attention to the game and take it seriously

I usually let my playerrs draw lots before the game. One oof the lots is marked, and that player has to leave. I don't want unlucky faggots to drag the party down with their shit rolls.

>>53198478
So everyone who plays tabletop.

>>53198478
The fuck is wrong with t-shirts and backpacks?

What the fuck

>>53211131
My color table is much more interesting than the others. They only tell you how fat you are. Mine tells you how many multiples of damage you inflict.

>>53201298
Cursive is shit-tier at conveying information clearly and quickly.

>>53205307
He doesn't want to discriminate against people without arms, anon.

>>53201903
What I do for stats is I give my players a 4, two 3s, two 2s, and a 1 to put into their stats wherever they like, then after that I have them roll 6*2d6 and assign those where they like. Even godlike rolls won't get you a pre-racials 18, you can still end up with a 3 in a dump stat.

Yeah. I mean, fuck's sake, I have a background in cross country. It's part of what got me into college. That meant that my life was running 5ks.

I'd do the fucking pushups. Because holy shit, 5 push ups is literally nothing.

British people don't randomly get shitfaced when just hanging out with friends. There is a time and a place for getting shitfaced, and that is on designated nights out. We also mostly know not to drive after a few drinks.
