>Why do I attract my own kind?

>>96531157
LOL

Idk man I just don't know where to find people online anymore. It's just a cesspool everywhere.

>>96531134
Usually by finding them through other friends. If you're speaking strictly online, typically what my friends will do is make friends on various online games (Foxhole being a big one) and from there will begin to share interests. Two of them are in a 5e game and another in a PF2 game in the Regiment's server. Personally I just get invited to those places to lurk, join calls, and make friends by just sorta being present, then either invite or get invited from there.
I guess my point is that you kinda just have to go out and do other things to make friends and then filter them in as players over time.

>>96531205
This is good advice. Thank you, man. I suppose I'm just struggling to find friends in general. I'm definitely getting myself out there more but it seems like it's gonna take some time until I get to find a proper table of players. The resources available to finding players out of the blue aren't very good as I said before.

>>96531205
This. I found most of my initial ones from a public forum we all hung out at, then after that we just made sure to invite mainly friends we knew or people that were vetted fairly thoroughly beforehand. We did used to invite just anyone who asked, but dealing with a few headache inducing individuals helped make it clear that there's a benefit to being more selective about that shit.

>>96531303
Are there any hints you can give me when it comes to navigating forums? Like what 'genus' of forums I should go for? I'm just looking for any kind of light for this.

>>96531325
Depends how 'serious' you're trying to be with it. There's quite a few dedicated roleplaying game websites, though depending on how old they are they can be...stringent. (Read:Dictatorial and cliqueish) But a fair amount of forums did (or at least used to) have "off-topic" sections where they play simple forum games and then sub-divide that into their own autistic corner of roleplayers. One of those is where I hung out, a long-gone video game enthusiast website, and in a way it kind of helped that it at least ensured that we had a shared interest in something besides just roleplaying games. Really, I don't have a magic formula or a special method for you, I just found that it was a lot easier convincing my friend group to give a particular game a shot than it was trying to make a thread roll20 or any other lfg thread on the internet and dealing with strangers that way.

>>96531379
That's alright and helpful. There really is no streamlined way of finding decent people online, I suppose. I'll follow your advice and see how it goes. Thanks for your attention.

bump

>>96531420
Oh yeah. It's easy to just find people through any kind of "looking for group" threads, it's a lot harder to find ones that you know you'll get along with without taking the time to properly get to know them first. Good luck to your endeavors, anon.

I do. Just trying to reintegrate into society after a long decade of severe illness.

>>96531134
In my experience liberals make for better players than conservatives. Best players are libertarians though.

severe mental illness (ongoing)

>>96531879
Stop trying to play along, faggot. You will never fit in here, you're not cool, and no one enjoys your company.

>>96531883
I tend to agree. They're a lot more liberal in their creativity and modes of expression. Unfortunately that usually comes with those big social complications. Drama tends to happen extremely frequently in those circles and it's walking on eggshells all the time.

they dont enjoy yours either lol

>>96531134
In my experience conservatives make for better players than liberals. Best players are fascists though.

>>96531907
I tend to agree. They're a lot better at everything, especially social skills. Fortunately, it comes with no complications at all, and there's never any drama.

>>96531883
>Best players are libertarians though.
Last libertarian player I had had a meltdown in a separate game, started loudly complaining about it in the GC, and then stopped playing mid-session so he could go argue with some guy that george washington was actually an impoverished hemp farmer and not at all wealthy.

>>96531907

Never had the honor of playing on a fashy table. I havea couple of friends who come close though and they're really fun to be aroundm

I only have the one involving Libertarians. All my other encounters with prospective libertarian players were as a GM, and they never got past my autism filters.

>>96531947
Projection because you got molested once and have a fear response to religious people.

notice how the molestation victims had to reply to this lol seek help not god

I skip the Session Zero enabling bullshit.

>>96531966
Could you elaborate a bit?
Is it just not letting people get away with shit often?
The system we use is generally balanced for small groups, so kicking someone out could really throw a wrench in the plans.

>>96532001
What system?

>>96531134
My advice is to find the nearest brick & mortar game store. See if they run games there. Join a couple and then run games with the folks you click with there. Tests the waters without having people know where you live until your comfortable with them.

Eh, fuck it. If anybody wants to chill my secondary discord tag is deemo1826. We're trying to run Lancer. Hop on if you'd like.

>>96532017
Your advice is outdated by like 5 years.

>>96532018
>Deemo
Is this the same Deemo that got ran out of the gamefinder for flaking?

You have to be at least 18 to post.

>>96532025
Legit never heard of that. I just named myself after the mobile game.

>>96532031
Got any stories of games you've played in before?

>>96532038
You mean tabletop rpg ones? Plenty. Pretty gnarly, too. But most of them revolve around unbearable players. Some stories I'd rather not share on a forum out of nowhere due to the sheer shock factor of it.

>>96532045
Mhm.

Unless you mean good ones. Plenty of those too. Just been a rollercoaster, really.

I don't think you have any stories, nogames.

>>96532027
Guess you should fuck off forever, then.

>>96532290
What a defensive response. Got booty blasted by your old group, if you even had one?

>>96531918
>Never had the honor of playing on a fashy table. I havea couple of friends who come close though and they're really fun to be around
NTA but one of the guys in my group describes himself as an 'esoteric fascist' and he's easily the best GM I've ever had the pleasure of gaming with.

>>96532394
Anon he's going to eat your nethers. In the unfun way.

>>96532432
That if he can find that anon's nethers.

>>96532432
If that's the price of a good game these days then so be it.
But I doubt it, the guy's never been without a girlfriend for longer than a month in the 10 years I've known him. Right now, for all his talk about the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race, he's dating some Argentinean chick. Apparently his political beliefs don't extend to hot blondes.

I've run around 20 open tables on discord this year using a bot that just spreads the call to other servers. I haven't had any issues. You just need to make it clear you're running the game the way you do and they're going to play that way and see how much they like it. That's it. Lefties will tolerate a nazi hiding his power level and nazis will tolerate a marxist leninist as long as the game is fun and it's not about things that are unfun like discussing your personal tastes on politics, music, sports or whatever.
Just play a fun game and you'll be fine.

>>96532526
Could you name me that bot, please?

>>96531134
>>96531201
By not looking online. The people you'll find when looking online are the people who weren't able to get into groups normally, and that should already be a red flag for you.

>>96532526
>Lefties will tolerate a nazi hiding his power level and nazis will tolerate a marxist leninist as long as the game is fun and it's not about things that are unfun like discussing your personal tastes on politics, music, sports or whatever.
Honestly, the greatest disaster of the internet has been enabling people to filter and ghost their interactions so much more effectively. People are losing the ability to hide their power levels and focus on their commonalities, since they're now conditioned into the idea that you can drop people at the slightest difference and find a replacement within a day or two. Not only does that result in a loss of civility, but you also see the resulting communities--on both sides of whatever aisle you want to focus on--undergo periodic purity spirals.

We've gone from
>Oh, yeah, Bob's a swell neighbor. Don't get him talking about politics, though--I'll just never see eye to eye with him on some things.
to
>Bob? Ugh, why would I talk to Bob? You wouldn't BELIEVE what I heard him say about [topical political figure or event].
Agreeing to disagree has fallen by the wayside, while the very idea of compromise has been trampled into the mud.

Give them a test interrogate them and don't be afraid to say no you were given the ability to talk and communicate in order to get points across for a reason

" So you wanna join my game? Cool call me a faggot"

" Hey anon thanks for taking a interest in the game and setting before we get started I have to tell you that the people you'll play with are racist you WILL be hearing the occasional word faggot,nigger,retard, etc etc even from yours truly you cool with that? If so call me a faggot right now "

They refuse then they were probably a going to be a whiny little cunt and that's about it this method has worked and I've found a decent group with it

>>96531904
>>96531883
In my experience:
>Liberals are more invested and creative with the game, but are significantly more unstable as people with a significant chance of destroying the group with their neuroses assuming nobody else is willing to help you put a foot down (that may also make them flaky or cause them to drop when you really don't want them to). Always play with them in-person rather than online if you can help it - they WILL try to get you banned if they suspect you have badwrongthink
>Conservatives are more stable as people and generally punctual, but also stubborn, kinda dry and too passive - and a lot more prone to distractions like kids/dogs mid-game

>>96531883
>>96531904
>>96533022
I never understood this stereotype, where does it come from? Nobody on the right I know would call themselves or their group less creative, and while I admit the split of people I've played with is probably 80/20 for conservative/liberal and maybe that sample size and ratio isn't really sufficient, but the latter were either not notably creative at all or were fairly 'normal'. Most actual play groups on youtube I've seen have been very clearly liberal and most of them weren't creative at all, which I attribute to being youtube fags more than I do their political inclinations.

>>96532959
Based solution. I might implement this.

>>96532959
This is actually really smart. Thanks anon. I'll implement this filter from now on. Lifesaver.

>>96533631
I think it's because it's a little hard to find conservatives in this space hobby space anyways. They're typically hidden in my experience. But when they get going they get going. So people tend to have experiences more often with libs than not.

>>96533631
Actual individuals probably are all over the creativity spectrum, the stereotype come from long standing culture war stuff (art is bad, you shouldn't study art, artists starve and that's good), and some particular contemporary examples for different generations (IA eliminating artists now, political cartoons bein more on the right and very awful like all political cartoons in the 00's, evangelicals hating on whatever hobby was popular up to the 90's)

>>96533631
Conservatives are defined by their inability to be creative, they usually just make meme warhammer characters or “John Fighter 3”

It's hard, I decided to gm and made a google form with questions that mostly filters massive fags. But they're still modern liberal fags, just not obnoxious trannys. So it'll have to do.

Make sure to use a secondary discord account. Otherwise you'll get reported and banned by their admins.

>>96534237
>This is actually really smart.

this is why people say right wingers are uncreative.
Wait until you hear about CATS

>>96532715
the one I really hate is when someone wants you to tag yourself before they adress you. They hear you say something and instead of skipping it or asking for clarification they ask you to identify as something. I've seen it on the left and the right, young people really want you to identify as something they either agreed or defeated in their heads.

>>96534749
What type of discords do you look in?

>>96532526
>Lefties will tolerate a nazi hiding his power level
I've never seen that happen in my entire life

>>96534860
then you didn't see a nazi hiding his power level properly, people used to coexist in society before the internet made you think you could do whatever in public.

>>96534807
I don't search on discord, I just post an invite to the secondary account in one of the /tg/ generals, using a virtual machine through a VPN to cover my tracks. Then I vet them and all is good. I haven't done it in years since I got a good group out of it, but if it worked for me it should work for you.

>>96534869
I think we might be working with different meanings of the phrase "hide his power level". When you say that are you describing a situation where the leftist has no idea the 'nazi' in question holds the beliefs or views he holds, or do you just mean said nazi keeps politely quiet about his views during interactions with the leftist?

>>96535459
so you're not a non-faggot gamer either?

>>96534891
nta but it's easily both. I see a lot of lefty's try to claim they play with nothing but an inclusive etc etc group. But I can guarantee many of them are playing with people ideologically opposed to them, some of which are the precious "queers" they adore so much.

But also do we mean actual nazis, or the people that retards label as nazis? Important distinction I think.

>>96539115
I've always thought that nobody who uses the word nazi to seriously describe or defame someone has ever actually met a nazi, and I assumed that anon was using nazi as shorthand for person who is right leaning and racist, the anathema to your average righteous and impassioned leftist.
