THAT GUY behavior

>>53258261

I think the guy actually posted this particular story here before. Made point to emphasize the spinal damage had the captive not just permanently crippled but also incontinent.

>for that shit he actually shows some enthusiasm

Sometimes I'm glad I accidentally burn bridges with some people.

>>53258713
He was real careful and rolled insanely high on his healing check. She still developed an infection and is dying. They cart her around in a wheel chair and after I described her misery and suffering the player felt guilty so his character handed her a note saying he was sorry for what he did to her.

>>53258810
More like crippled rape slave. except that wasn't his intent. He said he wanted to give her a new life in the village they lived in, but not sexually he just did the spine severing th ing to "punish" her for holding him prisoner (even though he was treated fairly well). I don't even think he was trying to be edgy, he's just....weird sometimes.

>>53258890
>'im sorry' for making you into a cripple for my own fetish fuel

Who actually does this without thinking of all the negative shit? Also, spinal surgery is a risky business today when we have all the medicine we could ask for, how the hell can someone try to perform it after the world ends?

>>53261700
Maybe it's just because all my friends are chain smokers, but there's a difference. tobacco doesn't smell awesome all the time, but at least it isn't like a fucking physical assault on your sense of smell like a fat guy who hasn't taken a shower and washed out his folds.

>>53258890
>>53258922

STOP FUCKING POSTING THIS STORY FUCK. We don't care about your fantasies, neither the one about you being a DM or having friends, nor the one where you project your fetish of a crippled slave onto your imaginary player. Just fucking stop it.

>>53261947

Yes it is. What's more, it's an assault on the health of you and everyone around you. Just stop.

Fuck that guys. Killing the npc would be a kindness. And killing the player would be also a good idea.

That's kind of neat actually. That'd be like seeing an IG player with Rommel's book next to him on the table or an eldar player with a massive dildo shoved up their ass because they're all massive faggots.

>>53261947
Anon, forever remember that smell, and apply that exact sensation to every single person you decide to be around. That is how every single non-smoker among them feels, every single time you smoke.

>>53258261

Wait what? Second hand smoke smells awesome. Nothing compared to weeks of jizz, sweat, shit and all manners of other crust some people have on them.

You don't need a medical background for that. Just go outside for an hour.

>>53259854
>Someone that doesn't actually understand what they did was wrong

You have a person who needs to be institutionalized if they don't find anything wrong with that.

I always worry about this as a GM, but then I got to play once and immediately decided my characters endgame is to paint the map EU3-style with a new federation so I guess I'm a hypocrite

>>53265157
Bullshit. I know, my hag of a mother smoked constantly during my childhood.

>>53265322
As did many people's. Are you really telling me the stank of a basement person is equal or comparable to a smoker, even a chain smoker? I will not be ranked among those kinds of people. I do not smell like jizz and when people smell my tobacco aroma, they don't have the same experience as when they would recognize the smell of jizz and shit on someone. You know these 2 kinds of smelling are not comparable at all.

>>53265367
Not that guy, but yes it is comparable you just don't notice because you're accustomed to that smell. Chain smokers smell fucking horrible and you can know one the second they enter the same room as you.

>>53258261
Book of Grudges is good thing, not bad. For a dwarf player.

>>53265367
I'll put my point on fragrances in a simpler way. I'd rather spend my time with people who smell of tobacco, than with people who smell like a basement person. I don't like the smell of human excrement at all, but hey we all have our own magical realms.

>>53258713
>>'You have something labeled type O, not something that IS it.'
What does this mean?

>>53265420
I liked the smell of second hand smoke way before I started to smoke myself.

>>53262109

You seem to be oversensetibe. Smoleńsk dose not smell do badania if someone dose not smoke cig after cig

>>53265157
>>53265367
Smoker smell is nasty, but not in the same way. It's more of the "Oh god you smell like industrial waste because you've been smoking it" sort of way

>>53265429
The container has the marking of "type o". The stuff inside might be something else.

>>53265469
Or be unusable after refrigeration fails.

>>53265469
That sounds pretty dickish. If you don't want him to find type O blood, just don't have him find type O blood.

Don't hand out a container marked 'O' and then pull the rug out from under him.

Proper Dwarf behavior. Grimnir agrees.

/thread.

>>53265499
Well how would a character know if a red liquid is what they need it to be? Did he run some tests?

>>53265464
This is more appropriate. I really don't think the smell of tobacco raises the same kind or level of disgust, the smell of unwashed basement life does.

>>53258261
>plays AoS
>visibly smells
Apart from this, the rest is awesome and having a notebook of grudges is fluffy af.

>>53265579
How would anyone knows anything is anything them? Do your players need to second guess every single thing you say to them because you're a horrible storyteller? This is bad writing 101.

>>53265840
If something is obvious, then it is obvious. How obvious is red liquid in a jar? Ok let's say the character tastes it and can tell it's blood. Can he taste the type of it? Does your world have everything labeled? Are the labels in your world honest?

>>53265872
>Are the labels in your world honest?
this is the part where your logic breaks down
there is no conceivable reason why someone would specifically mislabel a type of blood that happens to be the perfect type for donor purposes, other than you being a nigger.

>>53265872
It's not about something stupid like "everything being correctly labeled" it's about you pulling the rug from under your players with bullshit. If you pull stuff like that that's telling them not to trust anything the DM, their narrator, tells them, because what's obvious for them from their perspective might not be for you.

>>53265885
I'm not the guy who posted the original green text, so I wouldn't know how the container of blood came to his possession. If he got it from let's say a hospital and the type of it is verified, then he should have np. If he collected it himself from like a person he stabbed, he should determine what type it is. In the latter scenario, he has many opportunities to fail in knowing just what it is.

I hope you are not one of those dungeon crawlers, who only come across items labeled in world as sword +1s and chain mails of radiance or some such. You know like when you play rpgs on a computer.

>>53265946
the question shouldnt be whether the blood is the correct type, but why the person who originally wrote it would incorrectly label it. If it were unlabeled it would make sense, but it makes no god damn sense someone would go through the process of labeling something a specific blood type if they didn't know.
Now if you were cautious sure, but it seems to me that the doubt was cast purely so the DM could railroad the character into failing.

>>53265946
there is a bit of a fucking difference between "accurately labelling blood transfusion packs in a hospital where people fucking die if you make a mistake" and "knowing all the details of a random mystery sword in a dungeon"

Or, if this analogy doesn't work, I would expect things like ammunition, fuel, fire extinguishers etc to be accurately labelled by the manufacturer in a modern setting, but wouldn't expect a fantasy magic item to be

>>53258948
>>53259807
>>53259854
>>53261054
>>53265261
or maybe that guy just wants to have fun and tries to create the most bizarre scenarios so anyone can have a laugh.
some of you guys take role-playing too seriously, isn't the point to have a good time?

>>53265840
...well...yes? I would kind of expect a group if survivors in a post apoc world to second, third and fourth guess even their own existance once in a while (especially after a fight by the way), or end up very dead in a couple days, top.
>>53265885
Except maybe it was used to store something else after the blood run out, for example. Hell for all you know it might very well be a novelty BBQ sauce dispenser. When dungeoneering, don't you have the habit to check if the +3 sword you found in the lich tomb is horribly cursed? Why would you after all, it was labeled "perfectly normal magic sword, adventurer friendly!" , right...?

>>53265999
eh I guess you have a point
it really depends on the context

>>53265985
>there is a bit of a fucking difference...
I agree. In modern world we have many procedures.
In a fantasy cave, the natural laws might include magical descriptors.

>Or, if this analogy doesn't work,
I don't understand this writing.

My only point is how can a character know what something is if he doesn't determine what it is. Isn't there knowledge rolls even in dnd?

>>53265992
>to create the most bizarre scenarios so anyone can have a laugh
>graphically preform physical and psychological torture for the purpose of making someone suffer because they inconvenienced you
>bizarre scenario so anyone can have a laugh

If by 'anyone', you mean grade-A fucking weirdos, and 'have a laugh' you mean getting their kicks at the table. I guess that was happening. Generally that type of thing isn't considered funny by healthy people, even when it's just pretend.

>>53258261

>>53265999
>Hell for all you know it might very well be a novelty BBQ sauce dispenser.
Every gun you find might be a novely lighter. Antibiotics may be hilariously mislabeled psychedelics. Oops, you filled your gun's magazine with cartridges that are actually novelty paperweights. That 'harmless' rabbit you ignored five minutes ago is actually a mutated killer lagomorph, which will now hunt you down and kill you in your sleep. Those rations you bought in the last town were tainted with giardia. You're going to shit your guts out and be a useless target for a week. That warm coat you found just before the cold season was actually lined with rusty needles and razor blades. You die of tetanus.

I could do this with everything. It wouldn't make for good storytelling, and it wouldn't make me a good DM.

>>53266132
Were in a that guy -thread. From context, I'd take it to mean body odor.

>>53265157
>Second hand smoke smells awesome
It smells goddamn terrible to anyone who isn't a smoker.

>>53258261
I had a player do something similar in an RPG.

Whenever you disagreed with him either in-character or out-of-character, he wrote down your character's name on a real, physical shit list. He wasn't very imaginative. Being on the list at all usually meant he would be looking for an opportunity to kill your character without anyone finding out.

>>53266190
Still think many would prefer it over the smell of a basement person.

>>53266209
I don't think many people keep track of a ranked list of bad smells.

Or is that just my non-autistic privilege speaking?

>>53266209
Maybe, but it's a close call.

>>53266217
>not ranking your farts in the FARTBOOK

>>53266242
>not ranking your faps in the JIZZBOOK

>>53266217
On an instinctive level most people do keep a list of odors they react to accordingly. I mean tobacco smell is more socially acceptable, than the smell of unwashed basement awful. This is one reason why smokers can attract non smokers, while basement folks... Well you know.

>Or is that just my non-autistic privilege speaking?
I don't think you are as well socialized as you think.

>>53265367

It depends on the tabbaco. My dad used to smoke this really cheap stuff and it was the worst smell in the world, really acrid and made me feel physically sick. Still occasionally meet people at the LGS who smoke the same stuff and it's worse than any gamer stank I've smelt.

Let me put it another way. For me, cigarette smoke, including the smell and remnants that stick to people who recently or regularly smoke, makes it physically difficult for me to breath, especially in confined spaces. Spaces such as the close quarters of a tabletop environment not in a business/flgs. The worst a fat slob has made me feel is nauseous.

Well exactly. That's why I couldn't understand what the fuck he thought her "new life" was going to be. She's in a wheelchair, there aren't exactly handicap-accessible buildings in this place, they are living in aluminum siding and scrap wood nailed into crude shacks, sustenance farming which she can't help with except maybe to peel potatoes, no one will want to take care of her when she can't even clean up after herself, she'll constantly be in pain and a liability, a constant guilt burden on the entire village. I mean things are a bit better they do have a small food surplus, but not enough to support more than basic professions. People are still expected to be pretty self-sufficient, there is no ADA, and that's not even mentioning the fact that this girl has a spinal infection now that he's done that shit, so she is slowly dying in a lot of pain.

I couldn't tell you what jizz smells like, but I do know the smell of tobacco and it's baddddddd

>>53265367

Ex-smoker here, smoked for about 9 years, quit for about a half.

You fucking reek dude.

I'm from NYC and yes, I would rather be standing next to a homeless man that stinks of jizz, urine, and sweat (not feces though, those smell worse) than stand next to a smoker. It smells god-awful, but you can't tell, because your smell receptors are essentially fucked.

>>53265885
A few conceivable examples;

>snake-oil salesman selling pigblood
>original contents have been used, replaced by other blood by original owner and was never relabeled
>that container of blood was available because it happened to be one marked for sabotage, in a long forgotten plot to assassinate someone or other

aside from all the reasons why a container of blood may no longer be usable in a post-apoc setting.

>>53265946

No, but it's on the DM to describe an object as such so that the player can make a decision.

Consider the following:

1 - "The bag in front of you has about a pint of O- blood."
2 - "The bag of blood in front of you is labeled Type O-. It looks like it has about a pint.
3 - "The bag in front of you looks like it's filled with blood. It has one of those hospital stickers on it that says 'Type O- 1 pint."

In the first case, you as DM have clearly stated that this is a bag of Type O blood. Any decisions the player makes is based on that and if you change it to "lol it's not Type O" then you're a fucktarded goblin.

In the 2nd case, you are confirming that it's blood and there's a pint of it, but there could be room for interpretation on what kind of blood it is. I would say do a Medicine/First Aid/Heal/Science skill to determine whether that's accurate. If the player doesn't do so, it's on them.

In the 3rd case, you're being evasive. It can still be what it says, but if the player doesn't check, you can make it be literally anything, including ketchup or red paint or something.

>>53266634

Then you might have autism.

>>53266679

No, it doesn't.

>>53266696

You don't "try" to quit smoking. As someone with experience, I can tell you that you either just stop - or don't. And if you don't stop, then it's because you don't REALLY want to.

no

The human fighter thinks he's always fucking right, and will die before he admits he's wrong, barbarian is just racist against anything that's not human, while me and the tiefling rogue act as adoptive parents to the kid, teaching him shit, and having him watch our wagon.

Casual smoker who likes the smell of tobacco here

Yeah that shit is the worst, it only smells good to the one smoking.To everyone else they reek and everyone hates them.

>>53266190

I'm a non-smoker, but I like the smell of tobacco. It's comforting in a way, because it reminds me of when I would visit my father when I was a child and he would smoke a pipe.

>>53266190
>>53271781
>>53265157
Pipe tobacco is war different from cigatette tobacco, it's like comparing steak to pink slurry.

Pipe tobacco is selected, bred and treated solely for flavour.

Cigarette tobacco is off-cuts, low grade tobacco sprayed with nicotine concentrate from even worse quality tobacco as well as shitload of chemicals to enhance absorption, heat release and cough suppressant.

So its no small wonder one smells pleasant and the other like a burning paint factory.

I like the smell of cigarettes, too. The only thing I can't stand the smell of is cheap cigar smoke. For me, it's on the same level as basement dweller BO.

Raw tobacco smells nice. The smoke, especially from cigarettes rather than expensive cigars or pipes (which also smell like shit, it's just that shit isn't as bad as a cigarette), kind of smells like a skunk sprayed on a tire fire full of talcum powder. You don't get that from it because you are used to it, the same way the sweaty jizz-encrusted neckbeard is accustomed to his own body odor, and you even like it because you are conditioned to because you get a small nicotine high every time you smell it, which you do regularly enough for it to be habit-forming. Tobacco smoke is repulsive, even pot smoke is less disgusting and that smells like a cat pissed on an old sponge.

>>53274643

In my defense, he didn't start the /pol/tardation up until the elections came around. Even worse none of us where even burgers, but he was really fucking obsessed with two-scoop toupee man.

This is somethign smokers tell themselves to feel better about a gross hobby. You can't smell it dude, you smoke. You smell awful trust me.

As someone who doesn't smoke, I think tobacco smells amazing. Even cigarettes, as long as they aren't the cheapest shitty brand, smell pretty good.

>>53266954

I wish I could say I never smelled the last one.

Cigarette smoke can be smelled over a much greater distance than body odor and detected in much smaller quantities, which is most of the problem. I've smelled much worse things (I think the absolute worst is nitric acid fumes) but rarely at the same distance.

Joke's on you guys, I've got horrible pollen allergies and I live in Denmark so I spend 95% of my life with a stuffed nose or otherwise unable to smell anything further than 5 feet away tops, and that's if I'm downwind.

I actually only ever smoke the rare, small cigar 18th my friend with a humidor.
Like maybe a dozen over the last twenty years.

My last session, the player to my right just had heinous gas. He had tacobell for lunch or something and was openly farting all night. I endured that for the game.

If anyone at my table was a regular smoker I would excuse myself from the game. That scent gets into your nostrils and lungs and just burns everything up until you can smell nothing else.

Yes, it does. Get over it ya salty betch.

Yep. I've seen those. It's a particular conceit of a certain kind of player, and one (in my theory) that is used to disguise a certain amount of social anxiety;
>"I'll make a really specialized character and just silently follow along until I find the moment where I can have my own scene."

Rogues are a notorious choice for this sort of player, particularly ones who think they've mastered some aspect of the game like "stealth" or "intimidation" and think they're going to simply clean-out the local merchants because they've ramped-up their stealth score. It don't work like that, of course, and the hissy-fits follow.

Any time I posted any stories about that group people told me to quit, so I did. I found different groups luckily where people are nuts. They were honestly the most unstable and cruel people I've met in my life.

Apparently their core group sheds players like a tree does leaves in winter. My only satisfaction is knowing it's guaranteed they've had character death considering how bad they were at basic strategy and with how often I prevented the entire party from dying.

Not necessarily.
Some smokers know what they're doing and minimize the odor well.

As a dwarf enthousiast and autistic sperglord, I agree.

I haven't played much tabletop in general but I used to have a friend who was (and still is) an edgy cunt. Would make chaotic characters and rob random NPCs and randomly decide to not help out in dire situations because "that's what my character would do!" despite his character being invested.

At my gaming club there's nothing but bros but some have no sense of what's going on around them. One guy play bloodbowl with a leather dice cup and everytime he rolls he has to slam the fucking thing down on the table. Another guys randomly interrupts games of 40k to tell people about his latest adventures in RPGs despite the players looking visibly deep in thought about what their next move is and they're not even making eye contact.

Pretty tame stuff but annoying regardless. It's hard to stay mad though because they're really nice.

As an avid pipe smoker, wait a minute.... I can confirm that it's used in place of spray-ables BUT I have smoked a couple of real old blends and full taste cigars that were too much for some people to handle. One had a guy retching( Commander's Call from Austin, Texas), so I switched that to my cabin blend and brought out more of a gentle vanilla/almond blend that turned into my go to.

Yes, stank of a basement dweller is comparable to the chocking, pervasive, grimey, acrid reek of a smoker. All of males in my family smoke shit from some fucking homegrown cough-your-eyes-out tobacco to mint cigs. All of them smell of tobacco even after they shower, it's a part of their body odor.
So the only thing you have going for you is that's socially acceptable to smoke and it's unacceptable to be a nurgle cultist.

>>53286426
All of them, but rarely to the same degree, in the same way or for the same reasons that I do.
I like to make characters who're pushed beyond their limits or trying to look like they're cool and in control, both common reasons for people who don't actually like smoking to take it up.
On top of that, cigarettes tell a lot about the smoker - cigarette brands are close enough in taste that few new smokers will be able to pinpoint the differences, so most people choose their brand because they like the design, name, reputation or history. That says a lot about a person, and I try to use my characters' habits just like clothes, gestures or appearance to characterize them, because just like the above, the brand you smoke is a choice and it probably says a fair bit about you.

The M: tA character I'm playing currently is a burnt-out Slovene-American woman, who lived a slightly dreary suburban life until she Awakened and found out that there's a Tradition (the Euthanatos) who literally have the ability to judge the weight of a person's sins and just how much they're worth to the world. This was a bad thing to know for someone who'd always hated "scum" but always felt guilty for not being able to explain why she hated them, and as soon as she got an excuse, she sold her place for money for a closed-carry license, a ballistics vest, an annual gym subscription and a hell of a lot of guns.
She's a nervous smoker (Blue American Spirits) and doesn't particularly like smoking per se - but when you've just left your family and friends behind so you can hunt whatever's waiting for them in the shadows, as well as trying to maintain a brutal bodybuilding routine in the middle of carrying out a variety of illegal missions with a bunch of people who use bizarre magic that walks all over your worldview (she has magic, but she's mostly just strapped) you need a fucking smoke once in a while, if only to look like you're as hardass as you want to look.

>>53260592
I hope he at least named her Alice

>>53265367
The smoke itself doesn't smell that bad at first. As a nonsmoker, the smell of a freshly lit cigarette actually smells pretty nice, but that's gone almost immediately.

The smell only gets worse and worse as time passes, until all your left is the god awful stale and musty smell of an ashtray that hasn't been cleaned in ages. That's the smell that sticks with you. Your clothes smell like that. Your car smells like that. Your home smells like that. But worst of all, the space around you smells like that.

I think it's far worse than typical BO, short of smelling like actual shit, and I've known some people who emit pure pit stink across an entire room.

>>53265367
Next time you have a smoke and head back inside, watch the non smokers in the room closely to see how they react when you get within a few feet of them.

I grew up in a smoking household. Fuck my dad and sister used to smoke in the lounge room and I never noticed the smell. Once I moved away and my body became unaccustomed to the smell, I started really noticing it when I did smell it and it's disgusting. Every time my coworker comes back from a smoke break I try to find an excuse to leave the room

>I grew up in a smoking household and I never noticed the smell. Once I moved away and my body became unaccustomed to the smell, I started really noticing it when I did smell it and it's disgusting.
This was me.

Also, I'm one of only two people in my generation that I know of that never smoked cigarettes, and we all grew up with the anti-smoking ads.
Everyone I've ever asked has said they started smoking for a reason that equates to peer pressure.
I just don't fucking understand it.

>>53288625
>Ah yes, but if I make a strawman comparison of the worst possible version of B.O. and a group of moderate and considerate smokers...!

Nobody cares. You smell, your car smells, your house smells, your cat smells, and the nonsmokers who make conversation with you on your smoke break end up with smelly hair and smelly jackets.

The fact that you desperately stoop to a completely lopsided example just to to save face is frankly embarrassing.

>>53288790
You have never actually played with a GM and his girlfriend, right?
I will literally bet you real money that you cannot show me a group in which:
1) The girlfriend roleplays with a basic measure of skill, not necessarily being a poet but at least making a fleshed-out character, playing them according to that character and the setting, not being a disruptive edgelord and not being a murderhobo.
2) The girlfriend shows genuine engagement and attachment to the game, and is not hostile, guarded, theatrically creeped out or otherwise antagonistic to the players. She keeps the schedule and comes up with ideas, if not the group's mover and shaker then at least not a problem member.
3) The GM does not in any way, shape or form alter results of dice rolls, manipulate narrative, break setting rules or in another way break from the style of GMing that he uses with the other players in order to give his girlfriend some kind of benefit, including but not limited to "special" companions, magical weapons, miraculous saves and gratuitous supernatural abilities, which usually clash horribly with the setting and game because the girlfriend hasn't read the corebook and just wants her favorite stuff in there.
4) The girlfriend does not in any way, shape or form expect or scheme to receive favorable treatment, in-game or out-of-game, from the GM by virtue of him being her boyfriend (and let me say from experience that the "white-knight manlet and snarling Tumblrina hambeast with no way of interfacing with people except for accusing them of discriminating against her" pair is the norm just like all the posts here say). This includes any kind of whining, guilt-tripping, blaming, sulking, pity offensives or indeed any repeated and/or intentional act that shows an assumption that she'll be treated better.

Pretty sure a big part of the reason why people are so anti-smoking now, is because the larger the percentage of nonsmokers, the larger becomes the ratio of people who actually realize smoking smells disgusting (and tastes disgusting if you kiss 'em).

Once an overwhelming majority feels that way, they're quite simply going to bully the minority into stopping. That's just how human society works.

It's not always a wonderful dynamic to have, but in this case it's a force for good (although this fact seems to make people a little... overzealous about it sometimes.)

>That Guy thread turns into a smoker shitfling
I quit about 9 months ago after smoking for 5 years. I went back for a week during that time cause of bad personal shit, so "quit" isn't quite right. We all smell like shit. I smoked because of my own reasons and I tried my best to be polite and stay away from people when smoking, but after revising it and being around others who did smoke, I was totally confused because I thought I was getting sick because of the constant terrible smell in my nose. Turns out it was just me after smoking, and no matter how many showers or times I washed my hands, it wouldn't go away. We all reek.

Now can we please get back to the That Guy stories? I want some validation that my players aren't nearly as bad as they could be.

>>53288848
I have to keep reminding myself that whenever people go on about smoking, they are referring to cigarettes, not pipes or cigars.
I enjoy my handrolleds, and will continue to in the appropriate environment. Most of the group occasionally smokes in some capacity, and I only do it outside, who the fuck smokes in someone's house? Rude as hell.

>>53288981
Not that guy you quoted but: I'm _in_ a game with a girlfriend of the DM. She's fine.
Meets requirement 1 (though maybe not at first, she joined as a rookie).
Meets 2 at least as well as anyone else in the group.
Never caught the GM in a 3. No real suspicion of it, excpet her first character (who he reigned in, and I got the job of teamkilling when she wanted to retire it).
4 is hugely vague, but there's never been a problem with her expecting special treatment over and above anyone else at the table. I'm sure they have all sorts of relationship stuff going on I'm not privy to, but nothing made it to table.
We've been playing for about 18 months.

I'm in one currently, and in the game before this, I WAS the gm with the gf playing, on top of the handful of times I've done so prior.
And no, none of your shit happened because the shit was long hashed out and the girls were there to game, not look pretty.
Except in Matt's game, but she was clearly not interested in playing the damn game, and I called her out as such.
Naw, man, you are the one with the problem.

I felt bad for him, explained that they're supposed to be a party that actually has a meaningful reason to stick together and shares common goals, necromancer really wasn't a good fit.

He went on to ask if he could play a serial killer that kills beautiful people then leaves them in weird artsy poses for the guards to find them. I think he was planning to make this character a Rogue.

We mutually agreed that he wasn't the best fit for our game.

That's interesting. I don't smoke and never considered starting, but I've always thought cigarette smoke smelled almost benign compared to the scent of unwashed human. Maybe how it's more artificial and less obviously something that was secreted from someone's body.
Then again the worst smell by far where I live is from pot smokers. I'll walk the long way around sometimes just to avoid passing a couple of houses in my neighbourhood because of kids smoking weed while parked in their driveways.

>>53268009
Shit, that's more or less the reason I smoke. It happens something like every three or four months, suddenly I need something tohelp me feel alive. So instead of hitting my head against a wall or something I pinch a cig from a friend.
I know it sounds kind of stupid and edgy.

It actually makes sense to me, because I've smoked the occasional cigar.

>>53265367
It largely depends on the brand and how often the person smokes. But it's never a pleasant smell to most nonsmokers.

At best it's not that strong and you stop noticing it after an hour or some with them. That was most cases when I went to hang out with my Dad. But when I came home my sister and mom would complain that I smelled awful.

Worst case, such as when my Dad was smoking a lot that day or it had been awhile since I'd seen him, it's really terrible.

If I absolutely had to I'd prefer be around a smoker than a person with BO, but it's only a marginal improvement.

ITT: smokers butthurt when they find out that everyone hates being around them

>>53294359
This topic is actually blowing my mind, because I'm not a smoker myself but have hung around them, and I never thought it was that bad. Not a GOOD smell, but not this terrible ass stench people claim, and I'd sure as hell rather hang around smokers than whatever unwashed hambeast That Guy.

I always thought the people who hated second-hand smoke that much to rant about it and say it's making them choke instantly and smells like literal shit were just the same crying infant hippies who refuse to eat meat and hate things that trigger them or whatever, but this topic is starting to make me wonder.

I can see that if you've never really had to deal with concentrated smoke or a chain smoker.
But some really are that bad.

A smoker who respects others and only ever smokes outside might not be that bad.
But those that marinate themselves in the gray haze tend to be pretty awful.
Once at work, the front door reeked of smoke and it turned out there was an ashridden empty pack in the trash nearby inside that someone had been using to store half used smokes.

I don't get it, what's happening in the comic is he gonna kill the kid?

>>53258261
I knew a guy who had every single guardsman in his IG army numbered. He would record which numbers were killed in each game, and in a book he had recorded the names of each soldier associated with each number. Every time one of them died in play, he would record them as KIA and replace the name with a new one for the next game. His list of dead Guardsmen was huge, it was three black notebooks back in 2008, I can't imagine how many it must be now.

He always used to joke that one day he would make a war memorial terrain piece with all of the names inscribed on it. I'd like to see that shit because it would take fucking forever.

>>53295786
Not a note from a kid.
In a game set in the Marvel universe, the PCs stumbled upon a cache of The Punisher's guns and grenades.
So the PCs looted it against the warnings of one PC who, unbeknownst to the others, left him basically that note.
He used the note to track them down and kill some of them.
I modded that pic for the thread.

Cigarette smoke smells disgusting, no exceptions. Cigars and pipes can be downright pleasant smelling at times, but they, too, can stink up a room. Be considerate and refrain from smoking around others without their express consent. It's not a moral imperative to do so, but it is polite. Some people can tolerate the smell better than others.

>>53277972

>>53266132
Old book smell is a good thing, though. It always makes me feel incredibly relaxed. Given that OP isn't being complimentary, it stands to reason that he isn't talking about the book smell (good) but the other player's odor (bad).

I dunno if it's that guy or not, but I remember in a game I was in, I ended up taking a very theoretical combination of abilities that ended up working extremely well, focusing mostly on crowd control with some other capabilities to round me out. I meshed well with the group's primary face to face dude who was strong like me, but specialized in beating people down with a smattering of crowd control.
A late comer looks at us, my pc which is fairly, if unconventionally optimized (I was amazed it turned out so strong), the other dude who was not optimized, but had powerful fundamentals, and decided he needed to one up the both of us.
What that guy didn't know was that the both of us long time players weren't pushing things full tilt, we played fairly conservatively with our abilities and tried to compliment each other, and that guy completely tweaked the feel of the game out of whack as the gm attempted to accommodate for power level that hadn't been pushed for.
It basically killed the game for everyone else, and I'm still salty about it.

>>53298218

If you are worried, ask your group 1v1. A That Guy never realises they are, by and large.
>is thatguyness an inherent trait, or is it circumstantial?
Both.
It is as often a misunderstanding of goals and intent as it is selfishness and "my fun is the fun that matters".

>>53298218
Well, it is circumstantial.

>>53298249
Any time there's any ambiguity about a rule that another player is unaware of, I usually say something like "I think that's against the rules", bust out the rulebook, read the full section for context, then break down the specific rule in question logically, interpreting the semantics 100% literally. I'm usually right, so it usually results in a player getting slightly fucked, or stopped from doing something they may have really wanted to do.

I thought exploring the rules like that would be helpful for learning the system, and that avoiding rulebreaking moves is a desirable thing overall (especially when they're against the players, which "conveniently" seems to happen less often), but I've seen a fair few posts on this board where people complain about this type of behavior.

>>53298353
Anon, it is the GM's right, prerogative, and duty to adjudicate rules, NOT YOURS.
People complain about that behavior because it is the GM's job, and if you want to tell people rules so much, then run the game. Until then, you can say something, but unless the GM gives you the go ahead, you speak your piece, and let it lie, the GM should take it from there.

>>53298353
The question here is whether or not
>your DM appreciates the help
>your group is in favor of generally playing by the rules, whatever they may be
>if the one corrected is That Guy
See, i regularly do this, almost always for one specific player, but the DM wants me to call him out on shit, and hes That Guy anyway.

I dunno about you, mate, but I find the pee fetish less upsetting than the crippling.

>>53298353
Like the others said, you're not necessarily That Guy.
You are a Rules Lawyer.
Which *can* be annoying as fuck and *can* be a form of That Guy.
Listen to the others.
If you go along with the GM and follow their lead rather than correct them, you might be fine.

Remember also that sometimes nobody is asking for the correct rules, they're asking how to do this cool idea they have.
If the halfling want's to save the day by knocking a guard over a railing and rolls well, citing the rule that says he's too short to do it isn't helping anybody have fun.

>>53298407
>>53298708
I forgot to say I'm primarily a wargame fag but that's still pretty solid advice regardless. Part of me would rather not destroy a guy's fun by pointing out "hey you can't do this, you forgot about this thing that will screw you over, now screw yourself over", but an even bigger part of me finds it very suspicious that 9 out of 10 times someone seems to forget about a rule or unit bonus/penalty, it's in their favor. If I was confident they had actually forgot I'd probably chill, but if they're lying to get a good outcome, I'd rather them not think they got away with it, like >>53298430

>>53298976
When GMing, I'm a fan of the "When in doubt, roll and shout!" approach. Rules-lawyering can be fun sometimes, but often, adjudicating the RAW/RAI outcome of some complicated scenario would cause more aggravation than fun. When this occurs, I make up an arbitrary ruling, making it clear that this applies FOR THIS ONE INSTANCE ONLY and does not necessarily set any precedent. When the scene is over, I look up all the official rules and offer a more lasting resolution if necessary.

I try to give players the benefit of the doubt in these situations- but if I find that someone is CONSISTENTLY "misunderstanding" rules in their own favour, I politely suggest that they read the book before showing up next week.

>>53295011
It really depends. I don't mind the smell of second hand smoking however the smell of old smokes is abhorrent. And some heavy smokers have a really awful body odor. My gf doesn't really mind the smell of old smokes but can't stand second hand smoking.

My old group was basically all couples. I'd known the GM for years and his girlfriend even longer. She was a great player and he was a great DM.

When I DMed a group with my girlfriend in it, I found I ended up doing that thing where you wonder if you're coming down too harsh on them instead, precisely because you don't want to give them special treatment. It didn't help she turned into a bit of a retard when it came to the table.

We didn't have motives to mistrust him so we accepted as true his explanation of the rules, he """"""""""""""read"""""""""""" them before playing and when in doubt he reached the manual and """"""""""""""read"""""""""""" them again, of course it was all lies as nothing worked as he said and everything was designed to make us never win and lose hard, there was also the campaign manual for when we felt like there was some contradictions and then he applied the "in case of contradiction I use whatever I feel like", of course I also discovered such contradictions never existed and was only him not able to keep track of his own bullshit.
