Why is being "That Guy" so despised? Taking games off the rails and wrecking shit is fun. Especially when you get to see the GM get pissed when his crappy setting and plot go up in flames. Fucking priceless, m8. Come on /tg/, let's have some stories of when we purposefully fucked shit up.

>What about everyone else at the table?
Why does that matter? They came to an RPG game, they are not entitled to have fun. This isn't a fucking customer service position. You are not entitled to enjoy everything you go to in life. If you don't like something or are not enjoying it, be an adult and leave. If you do not do this, you have no right to complain, and you deserve everything that comes to you. That is how TTRPGs work. Your ""social anxiety"" is no excuse, either, by the way.
Read up on Oscar. You can do that without being an obnoxious chucklefuck shit about it.
You also have basically no idea of knowing whether you're ruining a good game ahead of time. If it's been garbage for everyone for half a year, then it's probably warranted to drive it to the ground.
Most of the time you'll just be an awful person and the great derail meme of yours will just end up in everyone shrugging and moving on, since they clearly didn't give that much of a fuck about the game to begin with.
>>53644752
That Guy isn't so despised, so despised is That Guy.
But that said, the difference is probably lost on you, since you seem to be a real cunt who's overly impressed with his own lel-so-randumb outplays.

Throw away the dice then, they stunt your histrionic growth.
This is either bait or a sad human being with no friends.
I'm going to believe the second because I'd prefer to believe that tonight ends with OP becoming an hero.
I doubt that's actually the case, but I like to think I can just barely hear the gunshot from here.
Well, it really depends on your definition of "That Guy."
Our group's "That Guy" started the first session of Rogue Trader by trying to buy sex slaves, and wanted to play delightful character concepts such as "Guy who tortures people because it gets him hard."
>>53644923
What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>53644752
I know someone who actually thinks like this
>>53645688
Why is he still breathing?
>>53644752
"That Guy" isn't defined as someone who takes the game off the rails, it's defined as someone who did something you don't like.
It could be magical realm or always playing the same dwarven fighter or lolrandom or being a massive munchkin. "That Guy" has no meaning other than "Fuck that guy."
>>53644788
>>53644752
>People aren't entitled to not being pissed off but why are they pissed off when I piss them off?
Obvious bait but you're still too stupid to live.
>>53644788
This man is fucking right.
>>53644752
Because having fun at the expense of others is not acceptable.
>>53644788
That's fine as long as you remember that you're not entitled to being allowed to stay in the game when people inevitably get fed up with your garbage.
>>53644752
Damnit Loki, how'd you sneak net access into your cell
>>53644752
because you are violating the NAP
>>53644752
People who complain about "That Guy" are That Guys themselves. They actively make games unfun by trying to police the fun, because you're not allowed to have Wrong Fun.

>>53645996
If I'm not having fun at a table I udually just leave, what kind of idiot sticks around when they don't enjoy themselves?
If a video game is shit do you keep playing it?
That being said I'm not a cunt and I'm perfectly happy playing whatever generic game the GM can cobble together.

>you have no right to complain
If you have the right to throw spanners, and they have the right to leave, they should also have the right to stay and complain as well. If anything, it should only make it more fun for you in the long run.
>they are not entitled to have fun
When a RPG session is advertised as a game as seen the name Role Playing Game, then you would think that players come expecting to have fun and enjoy themselves wouldn't you? Entitled? No, perhaps not. No one is entitled to have fun. You have to earn fun, just like you imply. Rights? Yes, in a way, they do have the right to have fun when they show up to a Game of Role Playing and actively try to enjoy themselves, just as you also have the right to have fun being a dick. They also have the right to throw you out, but that depends on what you are doing and in what game. If the GM is turd, the players may welcome of even link arms with your shitdoings.
Strange that you should try to justify being a dick instead of admitting how cruel you are and sharing your ploys of ruin with us. I've had GMs who put me to sleep, and GMs who actively railroad, so tactfully (or sometimes non-tactfully) messing with the GM can be the only way to make fun occur. Similarly with players. Though my tactic would be to try and humiliate the problematic one in question, but pass it off as a jest in good humour. You can work to correct people's faults that way.
>>53647266
Sure. Except I'm usually the one running the game. Without me, there's no fucking game. Unless they want to go back to the horrible D&D campaigns they were running before I showed up. God those were a shitshow, I played in the one they were doing when I joined and man did it suck. So now I am DMing and they can deal with it. And if I am a player, we are playing at my house. That is how I maintain control.
>>53644788

Why the fuck are brits even allowed on this website, don't you have a muzzie cocksucking quota to fill?
>When a RPG session is advertised as a game as seen the name Role Playing Game, then you would think that players come expecting to have fun and enjoy themselves wouldn't you?
What exactly in the name "roleplaying game" implies characters are entitled to have fun? When you play Monopoly, are you entitled to have fun? No. Admittedly Monopoly is a shit game anyway, so bad example. But this level of entitlement is just kinda sad. Especially because so much of it comes from Matt Mercer's Critical Roll podcast setting unrealistic expectations for what an RPG will be like. Matthew Mercer is contributing more to the downfall of the D&D community than anyone else in history. Not even Monte Cook, not even Lorraine Williams, not even Micheal Merals, not even Gary Gygax himself have done as much damage to D&D. Mercer has made the game palatable to the kind of person who spends his Friday nights playing Cards Against Humanity while slobbering microbrews all over his beard while his wife's son is sleeping in the next room. The kind of moron who thinks mirthful laughter is the end goal of everything, and fails to understand the potential that RPGs have as a fulfilling hobby.
>>53652932
>That is how I maintain control.
If I was your player, I would of told you to fuck off and I would of found another. Rather play no game then play with a cunt.

Personally, I prefer to "maintain control" by running games that are entertaining and creatively satisfying for both me and my players, making them eager to come back for more.
>>53653103
I like threads like these. Even though they're clearly just bait, it gives you an excuse to sort of rationalize and argue with this hypothetical person to better understand why that person is trash, and what it is about these games that are actually positive.

My settings are so well constructed that you cannot really ruin anything, and if you can think that you did something that was unexpected then think again you fucking weirdo, I am a DM, when making a scene I always think of 35 possible and -98373 impossible things.

I don't do this shit anymore, but once I was at the first session of a DnD game we kept meeting NPCs who would jump in our way and offhandedly mention rumors of a goblin infestation(a few miles from the capital of a HRE style realm, lel).
My character starts trying to get in touch with the authorities to get the king's army to clear it out. And for some reason the rest of the group starts going along with this idea. Eventually we're trying to set up meetings with royal advisors to report that these various lazy officials and military commanders are ignoring the problem.
The DM eventually just stormed away from the table after we went into a bar and started hitting on women there.

Except I still regularly run games for the same group I've been with for 5 years. I am basically a master GM. I'll have you know I've literally been paid, unsolicited, for my DMing. I've been offered almost 200 dollars just to DM a short campaign. My descriptions are unparalleled, I barely even need to prepare for my games anymore, and my players can hardly take the different. I strike the perfect balance between railroad and sandbox, between realism and "rule of cool" bullshit. But I am a tough GM and always keep the players on their toes. Not to mention I am part of the DM community and as such I have a lot of influence in the local RP community. If someone gets on my bad side, all I need to do is send a few text messages, and have them blacklisted from pretty much any roleplaying group within a 35 mile radius.

Just want to piggyback on this thread with a question, would rather post in an existing thread than start my own
To what extent is a party member expected to share his thoughts with the party? From the perspective of a player not wanting to be That Guy. Let's assume for a minute that you aren't evil-aligned, and you aren't planning to betray another party member or sell out to the bad guys. Is keeping secrets inherently a bad thing?
For a couple of examples. Let's say the party has a stereotypical druid who loves nature and trees and shit. The party splits up in town and the fighter learns that some faction wants help securing a powerful artifact that would advance their goals and is willing to pay handsomely. Let's also say that the fighter learns that these goals would bring no harm to any people, but could lead to the destruction of a forest habitat. If he misrepresents the situation when he brings the news to the party, leaves out the possibility of the forest being harmed, so the druid is less likely to object, is his player in the wrong?
Or, let's say a new character joins the party, and in-character there is a lack of trust between him and the other party members that goes both ways. The new guy finds a large sum of money by chance that no one else knows about it. Since he doesn't know how the other party members would react, he keeps it a secret and leaves it in his bag of holding. But whenever the opportunity presents itself for him to cover the cost of an item another party member has their eye on, he does so.
Or, let's say there is a plot point that comes up, like an old adversary from a character's backstory. The party asks what the deal is, and the character explains what happened in his past but decides to leave out potentially embarrassing details. One of the details left out end up being significant later on. So now the party member has to tell the whole story and admit that he was intentionally obfuscating the truth before.
>>53680396
(cont'd)
The reason I ask is because I feel that keeping secrets is a normal part of how humans behave. There are things we tell our friends, things we tell our family, and things we tell our coworkers. The people I play with seem to expect to be in the know about every single thing my character knows. I also feel like part of playing a character is in how you choose to share information. If you just regurgitate the speeches NPCs give you every time, or relay every bit of scenery the DM told you about, you're not really playing a character, are you?
