I was recounting an experience I've had several times.

'Hi person I've never met or interacted with. My three friends and I would like to offer you the opportunity to be our GM. We'll be playing Pathfinder, starting at at least eighth level and featuring a mixture of combat and political intrigue (though you can include any minor subplots you like). Wednesday evenings, 19:00-23:00 PST. Any questions just PM me back. Thanks!'

Early days of the Jeedai Order? Before the Taung who founded them were kicked off Coruscant?

Almost the entire LFG listing and forum at this point.

I even got an invite by some fag who wanted me to be one of the GMs in some giga-campaign he was planning, but not GMing.

Roll20 is AIDS

>>53213150
>Muraxmax
Who is that and what did he do?

>>53213150
Hold on, amico, maybe it is because I don't play with other italians on roll20 but I have never heard of this fellow. Care to elaborate?

>>53213165
Isn't that a bit way too early to make a game out of it?
I mean, what should you even play as? are there guns in that time period?

>>53213215
Je'daii, duh. And there are huge-ass pyramid ships, so probably there are guns. They'd probably all be slugthrowers or possibly pulse-wave guns though, no modern blasters.

>>53213192
>I even got an invite by some fag who wanted me to be one of the GMs in some giga-campaign he was planning, but not GMing.
WHAT.
'I have a dream of an enormous campaign. It will be a great and arduous task of herculean proportions. What are you waiting for, get to work on it for me.'
That is the worst cancer I have ever heard of coming from Roll20.

>>53204502
Did anyone actually have GOOD experiences with r20? I'd like to hear about that more to be honest.

Anyone who sets up a game asking for a GM

>>53213243
The Emperor having a text to speech program. Wasn't that a /tg/ thing from ages ago?

>>53213270
Had lots of them, but "everything was great and we all had fun" isn't as funny and cringy as stories about people wanting to play serial rapists without a hint of irony.

>>53213283
It ain't that old. It just went completely out of hand nowadays.

>>53213196
>>53213199

Once upon a time we italians had a common group on Roll20 because we wanted to play with fellow countrymen but the amount of americans and generally english-speaking people made it difficult to find eachother

Muraxmax quickly became a legend among this group

Every thread you made, every game you proposed, he'd appear, asking to change it to Pathfinder, more precisely Kingmaker

I warn you, but I never played with him, but heard enough from people who did that it's almost as i played with him myself, so pick what i say with a grain of salt

All he did was pushing to play kingmaker, proposing his OP-pls-nerf custom races and classes (mostly beastfolk or some shit), raising a fuss when someone would not allow him to play his self insert, bogging down every session (because he didn't know the rules, or maybe he knew them too well, depend on what story you listen to)

Generally, all the nuisance and irritating whining you can expect from someone who always had everything in life handed to him

>>53211528
A surprising amount of people, they need to add an option to hide listings that are searching for a DM.

In saying that I've sat in on a friend DM'ing for a group from one of these listings, it wasn't bad. I'm not sure if the guys were really good players or not but the party cohesion and banter was great.

>>53213270
see here >>53213100

>>53213270
I met my group through an ad listed in a gamefinder thread. The roll20 players we got are pretty decent. We've had a more or less solid group for a few years now

>>53213301
I thought so. I'm not a 40K fan so don't keep track (it's in my filters). People who bring things from /tg/, especially when they try to pass it off as their own ('I'm playing a bear who has maxxed out bluff-') are the worst human beings.

>>53213100
Pretty much this.

By this point I'm convinced /tg/ as a whole is a bunch of autistic that guys or has literally no idea how to choose their games.

>>53213270
I have good experiences with roll20, but only by virtue of the fact that I use it solely as a way to game with people I already know from elsewhere who just happen to be geographically separated.

Years ago, when the Off-Topic forum was still open, he appeared and started looking for "heavy role players" and "heavy role play" systems. People tried giving him a helping hand, but he was insufferably aversive to help. Apparently he wanted a system that handled everything without rolls, without tracked health, without almost anything resembling mechanics. He turned down every rules lite system that got recommended to him and when everyone gave up and told him to go play freeform, he refused and asked for a system again. This went on for two threads. He went for the hat-trick, but mods nuked that one immediately.

Then he took his autism on the LFG, again trying to find a game that operates on 0% mechanics. Once he couldn't find a game, he ran one himself and tagged every single game on the list, his reasoning being that "it's homebrew but has a bit of everything." It lasted one session, with him proceeding with deleting every application and making it a 1-on-1 RP, but he asked for "a female role player." That one also collapsed, but there was a rumor that a dude applied just to troll him.

He is one of the storied fags off roll20, along with some autist that would spam chats and harass GMs until he ruins their games if his character ever died from his retardation and that one mongoloid that always applies with the exact same ex-Marine/DeVGRU character in World of Darkness games, context be damned. (At least these are the ones I have confirmed that other people in roll20 know about.)

>>bad experiences with online gaming
Back when I actually cared about 40k, I joined a game where the GM advertised it as "light on canon." What he really meant was that the setting was nothing short of a deranged turd. It had StarCraft canon exist along with 40k canon, same with Alien Vs Predator, DnD (the Terrasque was there) and some other shit.

The other players where an Eldar, a Werewolf chick, a Beastman and two humans, one of them being his own PC. Yes, an actual honest to God DMPC, not a meme one. His houserules have to be the stupidest fucking shit I've seen in my life. He didn't let you pick Homeworld and Class, you chose one and rolled the other. He wouldn't let anyone start with Ambidextrous unless they opened their webcam and demonstrated actual ambidexterity. Also, he banned Dodge being used in response to ranged attacks because "that's some Matrix bullshit." Meanwhile, if you're lucky in this game, you can run 1.5 times faster than Usain Bolt with a lucky Ag stat.

First "session" was pretty much an intro session. I rolled an Eldar, because fuck it. The intro is that my Eldar vessel along with the other Eldar inside crash in a zombie planet. Cool. Then he does two rolls and concludes that six STALKERs come and fuck my shit. I retreat and attack during the night, because muh honor. I kinda fuck up my stealth and one of the guards notices. He rolls Fellowship to see if his screams are good enough to wake up the sleeping assholes. This motherfucker rolled for everything, one roll to scream, another for the sleeping guys to hear him. After six billion rolls, I have almost killed all of them, stabbing them in their sleep. Then I fuck up with one of them, all of them wake up and fuck my shit up. He tried getting me to burn Fate and stay in his game, but I just excused myself and left.

What a waste if my fucking time.

>>53216307

I don't know much about the first one. The last guy who told me about him and I had a falling out and the other two have been silent for ages.

The ex-marine guy though... Hoo boy! I had two run-ins with him. The first time he got kicked fairly early in char gen, since he really wanted to have a 16 y.o. character with max firearms and a magic sniper rifle and wouldn't back down when the ST told him no. Seems fairly stupid, nothing out of the ordinary.
Then I met a chick that wanted to run a game who actually played with him. The character had the exact same backstory, only he was grown up and an ex-Navy SEAL. He also had killed Bin Laden in his backstory. No, seriously. I remember nothing else from that one, because when i reached that line I laughed so hard my stomach started having pain cramps.
My second run in with him was years later when I decided to run a game myself. I ask for normal, ordinary people for a WoD ghost story. He comes and gives me the same goddamn character with the same goddamn name and the same goddamn backstory of "trained since age 6 to be a YOO ESS MAHREEN, denounced his parents and now is ready for combat." Skipped him in a heartbeat.

While I did meet quite a few people that have some sort of story from his retarded murderhobo, I haven't seen anything from him on roll20 in a while. I believe that at least Connor and his very edgy backstory has been put to rest once and for all.
Watch as he makes his triumphant return tomorrow with an LFG thread.

>>53216805
>WoD ghost story
See, why can't I find games like that on Roll20. Something street level and introductory sounds cool. It sucks being in a non-US timezone.

Some posts from >>53217601's
>https://warosu.org/tg/thread/S43821561

Bad GM’s:
Zentha C. (https://app.roll20.net/users/544195/zentha-c): Vicissitude is a virus a la Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand. And she's a huge cunt.
Cheshire Cat (https://app.roll20.net/users/20463/cheshire-cat): Terrible at running a story and awful at lore, one of the worst GM’s played with
Apokh (https://app.roll20.net/users/217376/apokh): Captain snorefest the GM, can't keep a schedule, 3 players fell asleep first session
Yvon R. (https://app.roll20.net/users/572805/yvon-r): This guy is a huge fucking asshole and has an ego so big that they could be monuments to it.
The Dungeon Mistress (https://app.roll20.net/users/501592/igari-d): Words can’t describe how bad she is, but she treats her players like they’re 5 years old and acts like a fucking cheerleader. She has to be center of attention and everything you say or do is a matter of opinion. Avoid her and anyone she associates with.
Wade C. (https://app.roll20.net/users/64637/wade-c): Apparently he’s terrible at running games and min-maxing is a huge problem in his games. He also ends a game and starts a new one every week
Malkav (https://app.roll20.net/users/878533/a-malkav): Words can’t describe how terrible of a GM this man is. If you could genetically engineer stupid people, this guy would be the result.

Should mention that she changed her name to Lady Lasombra. She's a huge SJW and is known for joining and usurping games with her squad of boy toys. One GM had to stop his game for 2 weeks. She usurped him, gave all her boytoys tens of XP, and caused 10 players to quit within a week.

I could actually that in with a couple of names but I already am playing with the players.

Just haven't really ran into any other ones.

>>53218339
Found some more. I think posting them here will be good to keep these names from falling into the internet memory hole:

BloodDragon - basically Virtualopium minus the guro and track on a HUGE obsession with dragons. (When I told him I wanted to play a Dragonborn he informed me that I would have to learn some Draconic phrases to say from him. yes, he claimed to speak draconic and would often talk to himself in his wierd gutteral made up language during this game... it was horrible. Also banned a player who wanted to play a bard because he refuses to sing for him

also Janison. true blue powergamer/rules lawyer with zero interest in roleplaying. refuses to participate in anything that wasnt combat. ulitmately the reason my last group agreed to disband and me to stop DMing or playing for 8 months

BloodDragon - https://app.roll20.net/users/414509/blooddragon

Janison - https://app.roll20.net/users/408202/janison

Yeah but you'd have to do it for free.

>>53218353
Good players on roll20 form solid groups with people they know and never leave

Bad players on roll20 get kicked out of groups and wander around looking for other groups

This is why you should never look for players on Roll20, because natural development means that only bad players are looking for groups on roll20

>>53218796
>That's no reason to blacklist somebody.
Trust me, there's a lot of other reasons that she got banned. I'm not even the guy who made the list and I can vouch that she is an absolute cunt. Her satellite manlets are even worse. I once played with one of them and when I stumbled on this list and shared it, he acted like an armless priest watching me piss on the altar.

>>53218828
>Trust me, there's a lot of other reasons that she got banned.
And yet, the first one listed is her using unpopular canon. It reads like a butthurt Tzimisce player with an ax to grind wrote that line.

It wasn't R20, but I played an IRC Only War game with some fuckers from /tg/ and it was fucking miserable.

Steely Phil
He is new to the site, but he is quickly becoming notorious for no-showing games. Doesn't matter if he is a player or a GM, he isn't going to show up in your game, so you might as well kick him, block him, put a notice about him in your profile and crash his LFG threads informing everyone that he is a no-show.

>>53219799
You go to the gamefinder, find a GM and get vetted by him.

I've had a group for over a year now, took some real filtration to get it this stable.

>>53213270
Hit and miss. I'm close with my very first game group. The 2nd one was alot of fun and only dropped out because of holiday work hours. Then it all goes down hill. Hell I avoid WH40k games in roll20 now.

>Hell I avoid WH40k games in roll20 now
40k is dead anyways.
It died like Slannesh did.

Aw fuck, I think he just no-showed our 13th Age game. I liked his character too.

To change the mood a little, anybody have their eye on any good LFGs?
