I'm a forever DM for years now and since I can never play I always railroad the players into the story path that I would want to do. When they choose to leave it, or the path I do not want to do, I'll make up ways how the story will u-turn back into the other path I want to do by adding in an obstacle they need to pass but lack the means to do so, or making a likeable NPC follower/frienemy preferring this path, or by adding in a few magical items down my path and dropping subtle hints to the party via treasure maps/local legends/etc.

I modify rooms/enemies on the spot in my custom campaign. When they are leveling too fast and I want them to not be too high a level for an upcoming boss in a few sessions to have a more "cinematic" fight I'll shave off a few thousand exp they rightfully gained and they never check themselves. In said boss fights they almost always should have died (some still do regardless) but I'll have the boss "miss" a few times more than he should have or lower a DC of a special skill/move they have that they haven't memorized yet and have never caught me lying even though they just used it not even 5 minutes ago with it's old DC.

Then theres the odd time or two when I've played favoritism with players. We all know eachother irl but theres simply too many of us now. Friend recommended a friend who recommended a friend and now seven of us play at a fucking time and it just makes things impossible to do in a timely fashion. So I've tried to get a few mad enough to just leave by killing off their characters with focused attacks, traps, and freak accidents. Almost everyone has lost over 3 characters but those poor souls I've targeted have lost over 5, and most of those characters were over 10 (starting from 1). Didn't work, they stayed and I feel awful for all of them. They all have fun regardless of my cheating and we've put, literal, thousands of hours into that campaign but god damn one round of combat takes over ten minutes of time now

Yeah I guess. I actually got banned from the Magic subreddit and that's how I came here to /tg/ to be completely honest, so I wouldn't call them my friends...

Then again none of them called me a faggot or retarded so I guess they kinda were.

But hey I like it here and it doesn't feel like any posts are forced for le Reddit upvotes and le Reddit gold (which I actually got once) so conversations aren't boiled down to who can type the longest paragraph.

Honestly if I knew that reddit wasn't infested with fedora wielding circle jerking cucks anymore I would totally create a new account. Sadly, it will retain its toxic community, so here I stay.

I adore shadowrun's lore and story sandbox, but i couldnt figure out how to properly integrate the rule system.

So I improvised: I've focused my crew on doing more rp-heavy stuff and when combat needs to happen I rarely actually have stat blocks. Like any good scumbag improviser GM I arbitrarily decide when an enemy dies or not.

If I'm being honest, the players adore it. I think they were even more intimidated by the system then I was, and outside of one who likes to watch shadowrun stuff in her spare time none of them even knew what the system was. I then picked up and old hand at the system from a lfg posting and with his experience we've been having a lot of fun.

anyways, that's my ten cents.

So you did figure out how to properly integrate the rule system.

I bought Curse of Strahd before I had any of the rulebooks for 5e. Or any experience with 5e. In fact, I had only played a couple of obscure third party systems before, and had never touched dnd before deciding to dm a Ravenloft campaign.

Did he "kill your character" or did your character incautiously fight a monster or walk into (a) trap(s), resulting in hit point damage that caused its death under your watch?

Because the latter is a very very different thing from the former, and the way you express yourself makes it seem like you don't understand that.

There a different between exploring and engaging in combat. I was there to gather Intel of the place. There was no reason for a fight and there was non. It was just after sometime there you die.

I get a sickening amount of Schadenfreude from /tg/. /mtg/ especially.

I keep things from my GM because it totally cheapens the whole feeling of success when I know it only worked because he let me.

I compulsively optimize characters, to the point where I take things I hate aesthetically, and can't bring myself to play anything that's mechanically subpar, even if it fits perfectly with the concept I have in mind.

I got into tabletop because of Overlord, a light novel series about a futuristic MMORPG player who ends up becoming his character in the game, a powerful, skeletal lich, in a completely different fantasy world. In his game, which draws a lot from 3.5e, there is a huge variety of player races to choose from, and all kinds of monstrous creatures.

All I've ever really wanted to play was a lich like the main character, but liches are too strong to be PCs, and skeletons have to be homebrewed and DM-approved. No one will let me do it.

>>55281857
>the correct way to integrate Shadowrun's rules are to ignore them completely

So spooky you get a heart attack.

>>55278665
When any group asks me to run D&D, I always refuse to GM it and try to convince players to choose another system. Same with GMing a heroic high-fantasy in general.

I always try to shove some gonzo stuff into campaign. Same with the rare moments when I can actually play games instead of GMing them.

As of lately, I try to avoid combat with use of miniatures/tokens and play it verbally with a series of rolls instead. I only apply battle mat for challenging encounters, though they became quite rare and players somehow don't really complain about it.

My one-time prep-list nowadays consists only of one page with bullet-points about environment and possible challenges. I improvise most of the session with help of some tools and sometimes do invisible asspulls, just because I fell like it. And with all this setup a lot of players somehow tell me, that my sessions are one of the most immersive and memorable experiences they ever had. And for some reason I start to feel like a hack fraud because of it.

Get a wizard (or sorcerer if you prefer) to level 11 or higher, and earn yourself an extra 4800+xp and make sure you have about 120,000gp in liquid assets, make sure you get the craft wondrous Item feat along the way an make a phylactery.

I know, right. Straight fucking casual. Shit was probably all vanilla Butterslut and Rambo Dosh, too.

Really only DMed 2 games, but they tend to feature lot of female antagonists, many of whom are fetish fuel, and many of those are underage.
Most of these are subtle enough its not obvious, and arent involved in every adventure, but the main antagonists for the final arc were a rather OP custom race of demonic warrior women (the males were all slaves)

That's actually really nice of you. Players don't want to get killed by luck and even if the threat is false, watching their faces of absolute relief feels good. You are prioritizing that your players have a good time rather than your story goes as you want.

I am unironically going to make my next character an anime catgirl for partial magical realm reasons when the game is not anime and the anime inspiration is at a minimum. I feel like a piece of shit for doing it because beast races do not currently exist in the setting so I am asking my GM to do more work and alter his setting for no other reason than I want to make my waifu and he is open to doing it.

I hate degenerate furries but I really like mutant animals ala Teenage Muntant Ninja Turles & Other Strangeness, The Mutant Epoch, Gamma World. T..they aren't the same. R..right!?

>>55284472
I'm not going to defend your "anime catgirl for partial magical realm reasons" but a lot of people running custom settings actually want their players input, even if it's just "Hey, why don't we add this race so I can masturbate to it later?".

I end up improving every sessions despite telling everyone that I put a lot of effort into world building and story crafting. I do this because I hate ever seeming railroady.

My players seem to fucking love it so far.

>>55284421
While it's not the best idea to force a swarm of disposable enemies at party, you could say directly to them, that they should be more clever with their tactics and use their environment.

If your party just loves to rush without much planning, you should give them some hints about possible drawbacks of straightforward action. It doesn't have to be a direct warning. You can do it in a more subtle way, i.e. a visual clue in environment or remark from NPC.

It's just a matter of communication with players, there's nothing railroady in that.

>>55284693
I'm pretty sure my DM does this, even though he says he's got everything "in his head" when asked why he doesn't ever look at any notes.

Nah they usually manage to be strategic just fine. Its at that point where it comes down to them having gained thier strategic advantage, it just become a slog of them taking down mooks.

The problem with making up shit on the fly is continuity between sessions (and we play every week).

>>55285025
So, write it down.

Better yet, get one of the players to be the campaign's chronicler and write down what happens. You're doing enough work already, let one of the players pitch in.

I get drunk during the games I run because I'm always nervous about them. I fear that my players always lying to me when they say that they had fun. I also kinda had a relationship with one of my players that ended poorly and now I focus down and mess with his player as much as possible. I hate the fact that I'm into so much /d/ stuff because I always catch myself either almost, or just barely slipping magical realm stuff into my games.

That's about it

DM was a closet actual fag, which I knew and he also mentioned me being attractive at some point. My bard started hitting on some elf girl in the tavern in the town we saved. I rolled pretty well and was all in on the RP. Eventually we go back to her room at the inn and the DM takes me aside. We RP the entire sexual encounter where I start off gentle and reveal my foot fetish and then turn rough and start chocking the elf while I thrust violently. I describe myself unloading in this elf chick and leaving the room. The DM has to "go to the bathroom" and I walk back to the group with a stupid grin on my face

I haven't played a tabletop game in my life (excluding, you know, board games), and I'm too shy to even use roll20 to find a group, but I always like to ask questions on and get help with the hypothetical characters I'd like to make for various systems discussed here. Maybe someday I'll get to make them for real.

I started coming here in the first place because I heard tales of this board's monsterlust in the olden days. It was the Thri-Kreen erotica that brought me around.

I don't even like tabletop games, except Go. I just like painting and the communities and companies around that. I still don't even really understand the rules of 40k.

My gaming sin is I also have fetish for tall strong women, being a forever DM I have to constantly stop myself from putting too many in, often changing them on the spot to a man or different height etc.

I introduced my gaming group to tabletop games, but I'm also a family a man without much time to play and in the five years we've played together most of them have more game time and experience than me now. I'm also a charismafag irl and even though others ha e tried DMing, we always go back to me doing it even though I have collectively less rpg experience but started playing at a younger age.

>>55289637
I am genuinely baffled that someone would consider themselves good but not know those basic rules. I'm pretty sure that's been in the game for ages too, so it's not like he missed a rules update.

That one's on your GM for letting you roll.

My group played multiple campaigns of naruto d20.

>>55282530
Is this not standard? Who's going to stick with their first roll if they get 4 INT and are playing a wizard?

>>55292280
people normal roll once and assign. If you roll more then once you might as well use point buy.

I had a group that would for pathfinder roll 4d6 real rolling 1's dropping the lowest and rolling an extra 4d6 to swap out. Then rolling two sets and picking what one they want.

>>55292358

>>55292780
I roll at the table but of course I get to re-roll if the results don't suit my build at all.

>>55292846

There are exceptions, but the simpler the system, the better. They're roleplaying games for a reason, not "roll and consult 3 different charts and books, then roll 8 more times while sacrificing a virgin goat".

I played grand total of 7 game sessions in my life.
I'm playing since March 2006.

On the plus side, just last year I didn't went below running three games a week, so I guess I'm suffering from gamemasteris eternalis.

Also, I've been running only one system for all those years. It's the shitty Polish Witcher TTRPG, because I've got the book to it for a pack of smokes back in the day.
And I played only two system in those 7 games - the aforementioned Witcher and once bumped on people playing FATE

>>55292977
I take the first roll I get that isn't bad for my role. It can be low in irrelevant stats.

>>55293016
Huh

>>55278665
I really didn't care one way or the other whether or not quests were on /tg/. I just trolled questfags because they were thin skinned bitches.

For stat rolling: maybe try 6+3d6 drop lowest. You get stats from 8-18. Good for higher powered games or for newbies, and offers a better distribution. Or go 5d4-2 or something.

>>55293316
Why waste the time rolling if none of you are actually going to live with those rolls in your key stats? Just use point buy since you said yourself you don't care about dump stats, or have everyone at the table agree "ok we want 16-18 in main stat and 14-16 in secondary" then roll whatever.

>>55278665
I'm a terrible roleplayer

I haven't played a single session since I discovered League of Legends in beta.

>>55293441
Point by is where your stats start at very low level and you add to them from a cost pool.
Some systems like d6open just have 18d6 to put into diffrent stats. (You dont roll them, its what your stat is. So agility can be 4d6)
OR
D&D where you start with 8(?) in all your stats and spend points to level it up. As they get higher it costs more points to increase them

Rather then rolling down the line. Pick where you want your stats to go. You roll 8, 10, 15, 12, 18, 13. And want to play a fighter. You put that 18 into str.

Some systems WANT you to roll down the line, but in these systems you are just ment to build your pc after you see their stats.

I pretty much improvised a boss fight because I was too lazy to take the hour or two it'd take to properly prep it.
And I copied the most common WoW boss mechanics for it. Players thought it was great, somehow.

>>55293556
Nice, thanks!

>>55293566
My improv always goes over much better than anything I plan out. This applies to my life in general, beyond tabletop.

I get semi-autistic with making my various custom fantasy settings (realistic maps, various societal structures, history of the various locales, etc.), fully aware that almost no one in my gaming group will care about it and think I just bullshit the entire time for the roleplay sections.

From a player side of things, I let a group of newbie players hang themselves on stupid decisions early on to guilt trip them into eventually learning to rely on my guidance. It also helps that I'm playing the party Wizard in a group of meatheads (including the Cleric), so eventually I will be relied upon for all the magical answers.

I have lots of energy for actually running and getting a game together, but when it comes to writing adventures I can't think of anything interesting and I burn out super hard.
I would love to run a hexcrawl with all the supply management and minutiae but I think I'm the only person who enjoys that stuff so I stick to running heroic, high-improv games like 13th Age and Risus.

After GMing for almost 14 years I just can't find any joy in playing anymore. I was waiting all those years to be finally relieved of my duty and get back to the player position, but it bores me and I'm often ending up forcing myself to attend games.

I never highlight my minis.

Whenever I DM, I tend to roll my dice in my mouth and drop them on the table behind my screen. It feels too stimulating for me to be able to avoid it for more than one or two rounds of combat.

I drew porn of some of my rpg characters.
I once played my magical realm as a PC. But to be fair, I discovered I had this fetish *because* of this character.
When I DM, I improvise far too much. I only plan for something like 25% of a scenario, the broad strokes and nothing more.
I rarely stat anything myself, I just use the monster manuals.
I hate level design and I'm jealous of my DM bro who makes beautiful, detailed maps for every environment.
I bought Kingdom Death: Monster but I'm awful at painting miniatures.
I frequently create new rpg systems and settings on an impulse and never use them.

A good DM is flexible. As long as you don't get caught with your pants down, you're good.

>>55295004
No links, sorry. There's not much of it and I'm not extremely proud of it.

It's actually pretty hard to draw correctly. It's tricky to keep the anatomy correct when you've got characters interacting intimately.

I'm a first time DM for a close bunch of friends. I'm terrible at it but they seem to have fun. I got hit with a curveball a while back and needed to come up with a quick sidequest for them while I thought of what the fuck I was going to do next. I sent them them to catch animals that had been let out of the local zoo by fantasy-PETA. One was Harambe.

I'm so ashamed of myself for putting fucking Harambe in my campaign.

When I was 17, I used to swipe mtg booster packs from Target and resell the contents for profit.

Every now and then I'll see kids swipe packs while I'm shopping and think "Man what an idiot".

I think Frostgrave is a poorman's clone of Mordheim (read: utter shit).

I'm entirely afraid of even the slightest possibility of failure, so I often see myself not taking any initiative and falling into the background while playing.
The only way around this, that I know of, is for me to drink alcohol, but I tend to get really annoying and overbearing, so I only drink soda or water at the table.

I basically decide how an encounter will go before dice are rolled, and let the players get through it with a predetermined amount of damage taken so that they are in theory using a certain amount of their resources each day and everyone gets to shine and do something.

I only take their rolls into account really, I just consider mine a "suggestion."

Yan Dynasty confirmed necromancers with undead army?

I'm now playing a bard/cleric/illusionist multiclass in 3.5 that, everytime he needs to do nothing but stay still and sing with no interruption, or just stay still and continue casting for keeping the spell effect from ending, I just cheat my way out creating a simple lv2 still image that can "produce sounds", and letting it do it while I do other stuff, and it keeps up the singing or the spell until I decide to turn it off, or it gets dissolved by enemies. Our DM is a greenhorn, hence why I feel bad taking advantage of this in every fighting encounter we have, but I just can't help myself.
Now, just to be sure, is there some way to make this in a honestly way? Is there a spell in any edition or in pathfinder that would make me do this FOR REAL?

When I'm making rolls behind the screen, I just pick the values I need, rather than what was rolled. I also often adjust encounters on the fly when things get too hard or too easy.
One of my regular players knows that for years, but never told anyone else in the group, so they are convinced the epic encounters and special things going during the games are just all lucky coincidence.

The setting I run with all three groups of mine is not in fact a spontaneous creation nor it is based on their input on the game (at least not for the most part). It's just me using a fluff from a never published indie game I've helped to create between 2009 and 2012. That's why I'm always prepared for everything and know the world by heart without need to wing anything. My players just think I'm really, really good at improvising and unfolding the world in front of them.

When I'm playing the game, rather than running it, I cheat with dice, since I've trained how to cheat with standard d6. I don't abuse it, but always roll the right numbers when they are needed. This gives me a reputation of being super-lucky every time shit gets serious.

Once I based a campaign on a song that was basically DEUS VULT. It was the most fun game I have played to date.

I've never really bothered with DC's for things like skill checks or traps, It's not even like i don't know how they work, but if I don't have a table with the relevant numbers in front of me I just go off whatever they rolled and see if it fells like a success. As a result basically everything has the same effective DC.

Thank you for your service.

I enjoy playing more than DMing. Not only do I feel like I'm a better player than most of my group, but a lot of my group defers to me as the most "experienced" so everyone agrees to have me DM more often than not. We've tried other DMs, but everyone always wants to go back to me DMing, and I'd much rather play.


But I put everyone else's fun ahead of my own, so I acquiesce.

Since I'm not a native English speaker, this is a phase that means absolutely nothing to me, despite best effort to remember which one is which.

A while ago our DM pulled some ridiculous shit on us and I ended up fudging a few rolls in order to beat a dungeon. It was only 2 rolls against the fucking dragon he put us up against at level 3.
On one hand I feel bad, but on the other I see it as payback for lumping me with 2 swords of vengeance.

>>55307910
One possible way to distinguish between 'latter' and 'former' is to remember that 'latter happens later'. In this case, the former is "mother", and the latter is "'mother' in a vampiric sense".

>>55308517
Trust me, it translates poorly into my language, which is the reason why I always get confused until someone number those things.

Sent four unaffiliated adventurers into an office building and had them fight a file cabinet that spat out the night shift workers who were trying to nap. Lazy writing at its finest.

At least they had fun.

>>55308623
That sounds fun and neat, I don't see a sin here. You can make something nice and simple on the fly and be a good GM.

All my characters are deep into my magical realm.
But since that involves clothing choices, nobody even notices or cares, since how many people even mention what their character is wearing?

>>55308823
Appropriate clothes are hard to dream up.

There are many advantages to playing a robot who wears one piece of fabric.

I cook for my group a lot, and one time I fed a vegan dairy ingredients (pancakes). He still doesn't know, was like years ago. He said he loved them.

Making vegan stuff for real has been pretty fun though, it's all very good once you try it, it was just the one time I forgot and used regular ingredients.

I have a crush on another player but haven't told them. Normally this isn't a bad thing and people start dating through gaming all the time, but I'm too awkward and shy to be forthright.
Our characters are sorta dating, but not really since her neutral/neutral evil fighter is mostly just taking advantage of my cleric's crush on her for her own gain. It's pretty fun to roleplay and the rest of the party trying to convince her it's an unhealthy relationship but the cleric being so sure that someone wouldn't do such a thing has been pretty funny at times. The confession part is that her taking my stuff and telling me to do stuff for her and her being demanding and all those sorts of things is kinda hot.

--
I would rather cheat than see my character in trouble or get hurt. It's not a matter of wanting "win" or anything like that, I like realistic consequences and potentially making things more difficult for myself by being stupid or whatever the situation is, is great. I've lost arms and teeth and I've added extra quests on top of what we were already doing for whatever reason. but when it comes to actually dying or raped or something like that, I chicken out. It's technically bad roleplaying since those are part of the game but I always make characters I really like and always kind of do things I would do so I don't want to deal with actual bad stuff happening to them.

It is okay. I play a mutant psyker from a daemon world cause I get a rush from being kept on my toes at all times even if it causes some trouble for the party. It is not sexual for me though...

>>55278665
I put very little work into my character's backstory and personality. It's because I can't roleplay anything at all, but that's hardly an excuse. That's a lie I tell myself to pretend it's not because I'm incredibly lazy.

The closest I've come to an RPG is either three sessions at a friend of a friends that never got off the ground or erping with people online.

I have a bunch of stuff for different systems that have never been built or painted.

Have you niggers heard of using the internet to find games?

I give certain npcs ridiculous powers for no reason other than to give the players something they can't do, and instead of having hp for boss fights I just let them wail on the boss for a while until I think of a way to end the fight.

>>55315581
Anon, have you ever heard about the following concepts:
1) Not willing to play via net
2) Living in a sparsely populated area
Those are fuck-huge important factors. Also, in my country, there is NO fucking way of looking for games via net, doesn't matter if you want to play them in person or via skype. Because the RPG scene itself is so fragmented you can live in a one mill city and never meet a fellow player. No forum ever emerged, no facebook group grow beyond the party members, no "real" blogs exist. Just a lot of teeny-tiny groups that already have their players.
So I'm really glad the cultural center helds "tabletop Saturdays" and there is bunch of people who come play TTRPG rather than Settlers of Catan and Agricola

tl:dr - it's not as simple as you think it is

>>55315581
Neither of them, but I have nothing but the worst experience imaginable from games found this way. It's like the net adverisements are just a collection of /d/ cucks looking for erp and long list of That Guys who were banished from every other group and now are desperate to get on nerve of another group.

>>55285129
Been there. Either take enough time as a player to remember you hate having only one character, then use that drive to GM again, or do some thorough overanalysis of your previous game to find what worked best, then repeat or twist as needed.

Either way though, you need to do something different to get out of your rut.

>>55285129
Honestly? Tell your players straight that you need time to prepare another epic campaign and meanwhile each of them will be "GM for a day", running their one-time scenarios. They will fucking HATE this (most likely), so they will be glad you will return to GMing, no matter what you will provide. OR they will love it and find inspiration for themselves and you. OR you will find a new wild talent GM in the group, that person will pick up and you will have time to be a player this time around.

It's a win-win.

Not him, but seriously, how many people need to tell you that not everyone is fond of online games so you can finally stop?

I never read rules aside barebone basics. Then I just roll and wait for the GM to do the dirty work. Eventually I'm figuring out the rules from game course rather than reading them.
Nobody ever noticed that I have no idea what I'm doing aside picking dice and rolling. And I've went through 5 different systems for past 2 years.

I write romantic stories for my male pcs, and even started making their waifus as well to see how well they would work together. Planning on posting one or two here on /tg/ once I'm done with them. I do it because those stories make me feel good, and I don't have a girlfriend to roleplay with, and the chances of me playing these characters is so low anyway, evwn without the romance. It's mostly pathfinder, but I don't care. I think it's fun despite the flaws.
I also improve my roleplaying by reading stories on /tg/. It's how I improve my character when playing Legend of the Five Rings, despite being only four sessions into the game. Memories of Stonewall is amazing inspiration for Crab players. I hope to meet a cute girl one day and court her. I want to have a family of my own.

I haven't run a campaign in nearly 4 years. I do like to GM, and I certainly think I'm a good one, my group more or less constantly probes to ask when I'll have something ready to go again. But I did a really, really good campaign a while ago, (or at least an extremely well received one), and I don't think I can top it. And then it becomes harder and harder to get back into it.

I think you mean "for a good group"

Two years ago I've run a pretty short and compact campaign for my group that is still praised nowdays. It had all the right clues and red herrings, it had nice balance between combat, tricks and diplomacy and it had interesting NPCs with agencies and personalities. I even managed to convince my GF (who doesn't play at all) to help me do female parts in the campaign, providing thus additional voices and making it more convincing.
Things is, the campaign was an introductionary scenario from the shortened version of the game we were using.

And before that, I've run a loooong-ass campaign that was almost entirely winged on spot (the start of it) after watching "The Propositon" a day before the game. The rest of it was also almost entirely improvised and it lasted us for 8 months, while my players were dead sure I've got everything planned ahead.

Those were my two most successful "runs" as a GM.

The two homophobes tried to rewrite their characters and make a 180 in alignment 4 sessions into the campaign.

Man I feel you on this anon. Last gf I had introduced me to her friends and we started talking about D&D at some point, and they were just the most insufferable chaotic stupid retards I've ever heard encountered. Sorcerer named after an STD, having a PC who was gone for a session get buttfucked by an ogre, just murderhoboing their way through genetic fantasy setting, etc.

Then years later I met my sister's husband and we started talking about Pathfinder since he's really into it but couldn't get a group to stay together. Turns out he's hyper no-fun allowed controlling autist who rigidly locks all of the players onto rails and bring in weird video game style things like sidequests and forces party's to rent any loot they find back from their adventuring guild.

It both makes me worried that people out there like this are active in our hobby and very thankful my group's only vice is being overly fond of Pathfinder.

Neither of those characters (as described) are particularly bad, you just seem to hate them. I could easily re-describe the elf as a wizard from a culture where everyone is at least a little bit magical, not understanding the fact that EVERYONE doesn't have mage hand I mean REALLY, and being kind of a weirdo/creeper is perfectly reasonable for an adventurer. You don't just wander away from home for no reason, and not fitting in to the degree that you unnerve people is hardly the worst reason you can have. Basically it sounds like you're a sulky cunt who's deeply bitter about things other than your actual RP partners.

>>55326339
I agree, but they're my friends and I loev them
>>55326742
It's not really that I don't like the characters, I just don't know how to interact with them and so I sit there like a sperg 90% of the time

It pretty much boils down to the fact that their ideas of fantasy don't interest me, and my ideas don't interest them, and we're all new to tabletop roleplay so none of us wants to be the autist that puts forth the effort to take it seriously

I do the "The monster dies" when I wing something, I like a good flow in my games and I feel shit when I have to look up things.

I play in a game that's pretty loose and easy on the rules. Not going to name the system because I know my players lurk.

I've never actually stated an enemy or an NPC. I just make an assumption at the time of what their score would be and roll with that. as far as I can tell they think I put way more work into this than I actually do. The compliments are nice but honestly, I feel like a hack at times.
