>implying /tg/ plays games

What constitutes a trusty friend? Would you loan the man a grand with no proof or certificate of doing so and expect him to pay it back?

>>55185201
Not much of a choice if none of his trusty friends can be arsed to play.

>>55185219
The only living human being I would do this for is my brother, or one of my two friends living on the other side of the country whose lives are shit and I know it

They're all also too proud to ever take said money, which makes it kind of an easy bet to take. Still.

>Not turning replaceable strangers into trusted friends over the course of the campaign

pleb

>>55185201
I don't really have enough 'friends' in one group to game with, and have learned not to mix groups together.

>>55185219
I wouldn't do that for anyone, though. Even my closest friends would have a receipt written up and signed by both of us, just to have it on record.
I'd also feel uncomfortable with it being a weight on the shoulders of anyone I actually care about, though, and wouldn't even think of charging interest. Better it come from me than some scumbag banker, but that shit still destroys friendships.

Otherwise, I refuse to play with people who I don't know. This, session -1 is me talking to the rest of the group and getting to know them and getting a feel for their personalities, their knowledge of the game, and whether I'd want to play with them.
Session 0 is character creation still, but we'd be working on concepts during -1.

>he plays with replaceable strangers and not with his trusty friends
I was tired of everything being a compromise.

>>55185201
I'm only guilty with one of them
>he plays with replaceable strangers and not with his trusty friends

I only have one friend who is interested in ttrpg, I'll try to play with now that he is in my city, as he have a way bigger circle of friend than I have, I'm sure we'll manage to make a solid group
Though it's pretty nice to play with stranger, every game at my lgs has been good so far, no that guy, good gm and good player (although some of them where shy as they were new to the hobby)

>>55185201
None of my friends like roleplaying games and I couldn't talk them into it in a million years.

>>55185344
This. This!

>>55185201
no, what you do is you cycle through replacable strangers and keep the ones that should become your trusty friends.

>>55185201
>his trusty friends
I literally have no friends.

All my real friends moved away last year.

>>55185201
I befriended my roleplaying group through time and also doing things other than roleplaying with them. I think having variety in your activities makes your social life more balanced or something.

>>55185201
>>he plays with replaceable strangers and not with his trusty friends
Jokes on you! I have neither friends, nor replaceable strangers to play with!
>>he only comes to /tg/ to talk about things he dislikes
Jokes on you! I come to /tg/ to pirate rulebooks to read and participate in filename threads!

>>55186903
That's sad.
That's also what I do, too.

>>55185201
We get closer to /v every day >>55185219
I have some friends I'd give a grand with no expectations of being played back if they really needed it.

>>55185201
gotta vent somewhere. i only play with friends, myself.

>>55185344
Yeah, in my experience TTRPGs are a pretty good way of making friends. They're inherently a social activity, with participants having at least some interests in common. These days I generally play with friends, or with people at least one of my friends knows and considers a good guy, but I started out playing with near-strangers who today make up a big and part of my social circle.

If you really enjoy playing games why does it matter with whom you play them?

>Not seeing people as flannels
Fuck you and your "fun". It's this disgusting normalfag attitude that ruined tabletop.

The social experience is critical to the enjoyment of the game.

Otherwise just play videogames.

>friends
I haven't had friends since university.
I haven't had close friends I'd actually consider playing /tg/ with since high school.

I hate life. Or rather, I hate how unprepared I was for life. Worst of all, I don't even know how to change it. There are a trillion dating sites, yet none dedicated to just finding a good buddy. No, AdultFriendFinder isn't such a website despite the name.
