What are some of the dumbest things you've heard from people

>Players act like retards because you're playing a bad system!

>Pathfinder monks are overpowered, wizards are underpowered until at least level eight

>Numenera isn't a class based system at all!

Fucking what?

>5e fixed the problems with D&D and is a pretty good system

You people clinging to your dated, broken system with the occasional new coat of paint are a blight on the hobby. Gaming would be better if every one of you were dead.

>>54589826
>[supplemental 3rd party system for Pathfinder] is balanced and basically required to run any game whatsoever

PoW and Spheres are the worst meme. Everyone wants to play Godkiller Mcnuclear from level 1 and nobody can fathom playing a game where casters are nerfed.

>>54590150
I wonder which of the shitty dead systems this one is shilling for. I hope it's Dungeon World.

>Pathfinder is fixed 3.5!
I've fallen for this meme myself once upon a time.

>"How about a D&D one-shot where we dont get to see our character sheet?"

They're getting a Paranoia one shot instead.

I've ran into multiple people like this and it makes me wonder how they've managed to even find any kinds of hobbies to begin with. My brother's also like this with music.

this one makes me incredibly mad
there's one dude in particular that said these in separate occassions

>man i'm fucking tired of D&D, I don't wanna play medieval fantasy anymore, I wanna try out new things
>man I don't want to play this game, it's complicated and unfun, why don't we just play D&D instead?

>it's clearly not what the rule means. I'm not going to play it that way.

Fuck off with your RAI.

Conversely

It was kind of worth it just to see the character get fucking eviscerated by an owlbear in a single crit hit though

Educate yourself, you summer child.

I slightly disagree with the HP/AC one.
They are abstractions, but they're concrete

Essentially yes. I sometimes come away from this board with mad beautiful ideas, but more often suddenly painfully aware of the conceited ignorant hateful eldritch abominations that take residence too far from the unreachable void of space and too close to our sacred past-times.

"explosions in outer space are bigger because there isn't any oxygen to impede the flames"

>A game must be fun 100% of the time or it is a failure.
But this is true, otherwise what's the point?

>>54603543
Because when a game or quest is frustrating its very satisfying when you finally overcome and win.

>I want to do this because there's no rule that says I can't
>GM tells him no, and tries to push on with the game
>Guy argues, literally gets into a tantrum about it
>GM caves and lets him do his bullshit
>Guy gets a bad roll
>"Can I take it back?"
I don't know how our GM is so patient with some of the stupid shit half our party does. Looking back, I'd have killed us all long ago to try and teach a lesson.

>>54603560
>I stick my balls on the anvil for the challenge, not because I'm a masochist, honest
There's a difference between an honest challenge (which is fun in itself) and total bullshit (which is not). Please learn this before GMing anything.

>>54603543
A game must be fun overall.
Fun 100% of the time simply doesn't work, primarily because most games include at least two people and no two people have perfectly compatible ideas about what constitutes "fun".

Not what I meant and you know it you fucking bellend.

>being this mad
It's okay to be a masochist now anon, why else do so many video games with artificial bullshit difficulty exist?

>"It's a game, you should want to get every advantage out of your character!"
>"That's true but rerolling stats until I get the best of everything while not giving my characters flaws makes my character unrealistic. I like having that bit of bad I guess, besides I can always come up with new ways around my drawbacks or you guys could help out."
>"But that's retarded. "
Fair point if I was going with a character who had pretty much low-end rolls on all my stats but I don't see how 18/11/17/6/8/15 stats aren't useable. And personality flaws don't make a character bad.

This from me even though i've never played DnD
>in dnd theres only hack and slash so theres no roleplaying
i said that infront of my gm who likes dnd and now im afraid i might get kicked ;_;

I'm not expecting it, but if I'm not skilled in persuasion, I'll let the guy who is go first.

Games where all you do is win generally pitter out after a few sessions, and it's because there's generally no fucking point in playing a game that you know you're always going to win unless there's money involved.

>in dnd theres only hack and slash so theres no roleplaying
You're not entirely wrong. The EXP required to level up in more modern editions of D&D basically assumes that you'll be fighting in 6-8 encounters between long rests, which generally means that you're gonna be more focused on not combat than on interacting with NPC's or the environment.

>>54604074
>expecting to be good at what your character is expected to do is too much to hope for
You colossal retard

After re-reading the post I mostly side with the poster. Although fucking hell rolling a six on anything is terrible luck
Point-buy or arrays will always be superior

>I play DnD

>>54589826
>Point Buy is for power gamers
>Rolling for stats gives you more character
>Shitty stats add depth to a character
>You don't need good stats, just describe what you're trying to do.
