I feel like your story was more entertaining in the end.

>MgT2e
>I'm GM btw.
>Player makes a character and fails military academy.
>Fine, no penalty.
>Fails three careers in a row.
>I told him to not take anymore careers because age penalty.
>He does anyways because he's an angry person.
>Fails two more careers into his age penalty zone.
>Age penalties include penalties to ALL ROLLS and losing a few limbs in the process.
>Offer to give him a chargen reset.
>Angrily tells me (the GM) to fuck off.
What do I even do?
I keep trying to give him more character spotlight but he's already at the point of swearing off the system altogether because 'muh penalties', which were his fault.

>>53282045
some people will hit themselves with a hammer repetitively and blame the hammer. there's nothing you can really do with a person like that

>>53282045
Poor guy. I know how he feels.

>>53281888
maybe you didn't fail society, anon.
maybe society failed you.

>>53282045
Wew, what system is this? I searched a bit on Google for MgT but no-one seems to clarify the abbreviation

>>53283209
Probably Mongoose Traveller.

>>53282045
That actually sounds like it would have made for a great roleplaying opportunity, but the player got salty because of 'muh stats'.

>>53283209
Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition.
There's a Traveller general in /tg/ right now.

Bump for more sad and miserable stories.

>Playing Magical Burst
>DM says we're not supposed to go full murder-hobo with our new magical powers (OK, fair)
>DM also basically says we have to roll on a fucktillion different tables for backstory details
>My character ends up with a dead mom, physically abusive father, and a brother who's a drug dealer and in and out of prison on a regular basis. Also end up living in the shitty slum part of the city and the family is in debt. No joke, I rolled alll this.
>Given these circumstances, my character basically decides she's going to wish to be adopted by a family that doesn't suck ass.
>DM shoots this down saying it invalidates the backstory elements I rolled (OK, fair)
>Decide instead to wish for musical talent so great she'd actually have a shot of making it big and getting out of this shitty life (music was one of the few good things in her life, though she couldn't perform it very well).
>DM allows this after some bitching
>First few sessions, save up money, legitimately without abusing my magic, to buy an electric guitar.
>As soon as I buy it, shitty school bully breaks it because I'm still unpopular slum-trash that nobody at school likes.
>DM said not to be a murderhobo, but fuck it, my character is pissed/heartbroken and breaks the bitches legs (to my credit, I didn't kill her).
>Apparently people saw me do this (didn't know magic was involved) and told the school, who told my character's dad.
>Somehow the pricipal decides the appropriate punishment for this is to take my character out of music classes, the one place where she's allowed to do something she enjoy. Her dad decides the appropriate punishment is a beating.
>Fuckthis.jpg, kill dad with magic in self defense.
>DM gets super pissy again because I was "muderhobo'ing", apparently my character was supposed to just sit there and take a beating.
>Character has to go live with her drug-dealer older brother now... who wants to sell her in the magical realm sense.

I quit the game at this point.

The best part of this whole story is when the other 3 players in the game (supposedly) rolled up a sports-team captain who was super-popular and had godly stat-rolls in everything, some kind of computer genius who already had college scholarships at age 15, and an artsy exchange student who's parents were literally billionaires and bought her a summer home to live in while she attended classes here.

>there is absolutely no exploring happening whatsoever
>trying to have some downtime, he gets attacked by assassins of this or that

>suddenly the party isn't up for it anymore
>berate him for being up for thievery when they have done way worse
>actually beat him up once so we could fail our mission since that was somebody's goal
>generally accomplish nothing of value and be made the butt of jokes

It was probably the most unpleasant character I've played and made me too jaded to play anything ever again that isn't a combat monster that beats the shit out of anyone that shittalks him. Doesn't help that I was kicked from the game for taking a vacation after an unrelated nervous breakdown.

Okay, i call bullshit. No DM would be so fucktarded.

>No DM would be so fucktarded.
Bruh, newfag, lurk more. No matter how stupid you think a DM could possibly be, someone will always surprise you, especially if you play online.

Also the guy you're responding to was playing a fucking magical girl game, so you know, that speaks volumes about everyone involved to begin with.
