There's *always* 'that guy' and he sounds *always* like a genocide enabler when talking about doing harmful things against elves. When asked why he'll be genuinely shocked. Only now do I know this is something Turkish.

Like maybe this was something I remember happening once or twice when I was in high school but adults don't do this, right? Like even if your GM is a grown-up still living at home he's not actually getting into shouting matches with his parents in front of you, right?

>>92486813
This isn't from any one session, except for the making out, the depressed guy was talking about slitting his wrists while the actual real biological girl was tongue wrestling the newish player. Shit was sad. Right now I'm actually trying out doing some remote play as a keeper in a CoC one shot.

Anon, this isn't even just a /tg/ thing. I've seen so many fuckers showing their power level in real life and openly talking about 4chan and 4chan adjacent shit, it's gotten worse in recent years but I remember even back in 09 it being a thing. Its not the subtle shit that bothers me, it's the full

He called his mom a fucking bitch (I guess to show off for his also-adult players) and that set her the fuck off. Like beet-red screaming, telling him to get out on his ass. I finally managed to pull myself away from the train wreck when the dude started crying. Good DM thoughbeit.

>GM has you roll for everything
Want to pick something up? Yep that's a roll
Want to stand up? Yep, that's a roll because all they know is their own anemic ass that has a 5% chance of just falling over every time their fat ass attempts to overcome gravity for a second. Worst fucking one was when I was trying to save a party member who went unconscious in a fight, I had to roll to not only pick them up but set them down again. Of course I failed so I dropped them and killed them with 2d6 damage. It was my god damn first GM too, first time playing tabletops.

So, I joined a new group. In the first session, my warlock was harassed by a belligerent drunk. I cast Suggestion on him and told him to go fornicate with the nearest barnyard animal. The DM proceeds to describe how the man runs to the nearest market, buys a big, takes it to a barn and fucks it, going into some detail about the last part, imitating the pig's squeals and everything.

Mea culpa I suppose, but I still never went back.

I'm the other Canadian and I know exactly why he's obsessed with genocide, I just think he's being a nerd with no self awareness for letting it bleed into our game. About as much self-awareness as most Canadians have, really
Another player invited his girlfriend to the group and she would be a perfectly acceptable member of the group if she didn't get unreasonably upset when bad things happen to her character, and if she would actually read her character sheet once in awhile instead of expecting us to have it memorized for her

>>92499076
The communicator on the original Star Trek was a small handheld box with a gold colored metal "lid" that flipped out and turned into a sort of antenna.

>>92499106
Unironically this.

>>92499076
>explain
So basically this guy (who is something of a That Guy, in terms of personality and his understanding of personal hygiene) creates a human ranger. Some slightly atypical skills and interests, but okay - the guy's an autist, so the odd discourse into botany or geology or creatures is expected. He insisted on having this box - black, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, gold lid with circular holes. GM asked him whether it had any magical powers? "No, it's just my good luck charm." So he got it at character generation. Otherwise the only noteworthy things about the character were his sky-blue tunic, and the gold arrowhead he wore pinned to his cloak - the guy said it was in memory of the ranger's great-grandfather, who was an archer. (And if you get that on first reading, you're about fifteen steps ahead of our table)

So, long story short, we get through the campaign, tolerate his character's autistic idiosyncracies, and we're squaring up for the last push towards the big bad. And he whips out the box, which was a 1960s style Star Trek communicator, and says "Come in, Enterprise. Lock phasers on..."

At which point we all got pretty much righteously PO'd at him. Once the argument had died down, the GM rewound time a few minutes and had him killed off by an elvish bowman, headshot, claimed it was a nat 20. Which sparked another argument over GM fiat, but at least the space case left in a huff.

Kind of ruined the mood though.

It'd be fun in the right group and if agreed in advance with the GM. When most of the group are pretty serious fantasy enthusiasts and committed to playing the campaign "straight", and when it blindsides the GM, somewhat less so. In other words, it's a "learn to read the room" moment.

A player and DM roleplayed the player brutally torture an NPC to death for an hour. Then the player anounced he had to get going after the scene was done. It was extra wierd bc the PC was roleplaying a sweeter old dude in imteractions beforehand.
In a prior game their roles were switched and there was some heavy family abuse for like half an hour.

I simply don't understand people who enjoy that kind of thing. To me it's just horrific. I am fine with having it in a story, but to have the focal point be cathartic or just to inflict psychic pain on the audience turns my stomach.

He should have waited until AFTER the big threat was dead and that arc of the campaign was over to reveal himself. If it happened like in the story, he turned a funny little thing into a climax-ruining deus ex machina.

>>92486786
Goddamn it feels good to play with functional adults.

Had a guy join a 1st Edition dungeon crawl I was a part of and he showed up on session 2 as a Drow with a bunch of spells not in the core rulebook and a bunch of magic items not approved by the DM. He also didn't declare his spells ahead of time and I'm pretty sure he cheated on one of his saving throws at some point.

He kept making a point about how "My character wouldn't even be here, he wants to go home, he's leaving" and indeed did leave to the surface once he got hit by one enemy and got poisoned. Spent the entire rest of the session silent in the VC while we continued the crawl without him (because we had 0 incentive to follow him due to extreme time limitations placed on our characters), then declared "Yeah, I'm NOT coming back next week" when the session ended.

I don't understand what this guy's deal was. Who shows up to a dungeon crawl and then makes a huge deal about why their character wouldn't stick around and wants to go somewhere else? It's a fucking dungeon crawl, that's all there is to this adventure. You can't walk off and play Hello Kitty by yourself. The worst part was that we had to spend an entire session looking for his character after he had ran off due to being feared at one point, then he repays us by voluntarily running off once poisoned.

Why are Drow players like this?

I wore a hoodie once to my girlfriend's family function (I can't remember the occasion) that had pussy juice crust on the hem in the front since I had fucked her while wearing the hoodie next to my car the night before and I didn't notice I got it on my clothes.

>>92500365
Sounds like an attempted breach of the Prime Directive. Also, during the TOS era his communicator is from the symbols were embroidered on the uniforms instead of being pins, so at the very least the character had to have it made by a whitesmith at some point. But all joking aside, this sounds like a guy who thought he had a fun idea and misinterpreted how it would be taken by the group. I'm not a fan of a GM retaliating with an obviously fudged roll. I mean, you could just talk to the guy and say that shit is not happening. Campaign ends, and dude walks away and is never heard of again. Maybe he got beamed up, maybe he truly was just a loon.

To me, this sounds like a fairly typical mistake mostly seen among first timers, but also more experienced players. That is, assuming a continued agency over the world past the limits of the GM. I've been there as a GM, and it can be annoying. But just revenge-killing someone's character with no recourse means they're not going to learn, and if anything will be telling stories about That GM if they do keep playing. One thing I've learned from playing is that it's common for people to come to the table with different expectations and desires, even people who have been playing together for a long time. And part of the GM's job is to work with that.

One of the players made a paladin but he allocated stats really badly and was useless in combat as a result.
Me and other players started making up funny "epic" scenarios in which he fails, like ave maria playing as he slips, clouds parting and divine ray of light blinding him causing him to miss etc.
One time he got really lucky with rolls and he got so excited about it that he stood up, started prancing around the room describing how awesomely he wrecked the monster, doing pirouettes and shit for like 3 minutes straight.

>>92519023
Educated guess, he misled the DM? He was certainly quite vague in character with the rest of the party... and the setup of the party was closer to a "you all meet in a tavern" than "you all grew up together"

I don't think anyone came out of that little incident covered in glory. Perhaps the GM would have been more forgiving if the player hadn't been That Guy, albeit one with small but frequent red flags (and a chronic Sheldon LARPer, which was just annoying - especially the rules lawyering). The GM was pretty righteously PO'd at someone doing that kind of tonally inappropriate ass-pull without prior discussion, and I understand that - but I do agree it could have been resolved much better, perhaps by just calling the session and letting the two of them talk it out. GM fiat is divisive even when it's properly applied, just like VAR in rugby or football.

It's actually something I'd like to see played well, you know? Maybe it's also an example of why you need Session 0, and why (if you have a fun idea you want to spring later) it's important to be upfront and honest with your GM.

As for joking... it was a literal arrowhead. It was only about a week or two after the incident that I understood his reference to his ancestor the archer - or, more accurately, the Archer.

I had the opposite happen, instead ff cringe it was epic. ugly roastie was playing a sexy toreador, her ghoul was an attractive body guard. my character was about to hunger frenzy, so roastie toreador commands her ghoul to allow me to feed from his girlfriend.

what ensues is the most detailed description of my character (narrated my the roastie player) feeding on the ghouls girlfriend while roasie toreador makes out with women being fed on. she also narrated the ghoul being impressed by us feeding on his girlfriend while it was happening. VTM cuck scene was executed flawlessly.

I still laugh about it to this day

This is an odd one. This is Wild Talents, and a fantasy setting. This entire subplot made me really uncomfortable.
There's an evil, expansionist empire that has military superiority through the ability to control dragons. Unfortunately, only those of a certain bloodline can control dragons, and the blood is thinning to the point it's unusable. So they capture a group of elf women and try to breed them to create both immortal rulers and to 'fuck magic back into the royal line'.
We team up with an elf freedom fighter who wants to destroy the empire, because one of the women captured was his wife. So when storming the castle, we find out that one of the breeding experiments was successful, and his wife / girlfriend had a son with the Prince. She doesn't want to leave, and in the fighting the elf guy gets shot in the back with a flintlock.
One of the PCs is so disgusted by the miscegenation, he kills both mother and child. Like, he was a swashbuckling Han Solo-esque rogue, but he shot a woman and a kid in the face.

I mean that was kind of fucked up.

There are also a bunch of old school nerds who hate session 0 because they don't need it. Rolling up a character is quick, backstory is for faggots, and if someone is unbearably autistic you just kick them out right there and then and carry on because you weren't raised by hippies and are actually able to tell people to fuck off. All this passive aggressive "I need to screen who I invite" shit is a result of gen x-ers lacking a spine.

Wouldn't budge about even the slightest detail that was left undefined allowed to be defined by anyone but him.
Wouldn't engage with other PCs... Would just vomit up these "back"story details like he was reading off a script...
And if someone tried to engage... He would just shut down because he didn't write what they had said.

Back in my day we just fucking talked about shit like normal people.
"Hey, what are you playing?"
"I'm thinking this, you?"
"Oh if you're playing that I think I'll try this."
"Oh hey, you wanna make them related?"
"Ah that works, less for me to do that way."

And the whole trigger card nonsense... Like... Why the fuck is rape even on the table to begin with that we have to have a discussion about the nuance and availability of rape in the campaign?
Christ. It's like people are 5.

>>92519886
>I don't understand what this guy's deal was.

>>92547456
I don't get it, either. I've been doing session 0s for years without calling them that, I just called them prologues and set up a group chat for people to hash things out and ask questions before even coming to the table. The other day I had to explain this to a new player by saying 'it's like if session 0 was over text and lasted a week' before they got it and it made me feel old for the first time.

>>92547550
Yeah. Nowadays it's over a messaging client. Works really well and is simple.
Back then we'd just see each other and talk at lunch or recess.
Still, the need to formalize just having a conversation, not being a shithead... And those cancel card things? Can't people just use their words or did everyone get lobotomized at 5 when I wasn't looking?

>GM starts arguing with their parent
Kek

>>92547597
I can't really speak to the cancel or stop cards or whatever they're called, but the idea that it's because people have locked up... I don't know, it feels like too neat and tidy of an explanation to be true, you know? I'm sure that people are using them because they're too shy or nervous for confrontation, but I feel like it's something that is formed between two extremes of comfort. You have the people who take the written word of games extremely seriously and go way too hard on doing things 'authentically' - and I think are the people that are actually being complained about when people talk about storyshitters - and then the weirdos they have to find when nobody wants to play those sorts of campaigns with them. Like, the flags seems like the kind of system you wind up with when you both don't feel like you can actually have a discussion with the other players in the group AND you can't just kick problem players out, because if you did there wouldn't be much of a group.

It seems like it's maybe a young person's kind of thing. I work with young people and teenagers at a volunteer center all the time, and they are the exact demographic that would be pulled into this sort of thing. Just getting old enough that they're starting to have convictions, but not yet mature enough to avoid taking them so seriously. They would read some old school setting and go 'this setting deals with the complexities and trauma inherent in rape, and so to accurately represent this setting in play I must thread the needle on presenting this to my group of dungeon crawlers' and it's like... Forgotten Realms or something. I had plenty of garbage like that I got hopped up about when I was younger, too, so I have a hard time blaming them, but I feel like that's where the groundswell on it comes from these days.

>>92547842
I don't feel right blaming the kiddos about it, because I see it mostly from people my age (filthy millennial here).
Your example of near autistically following some random text to the extreme WTFiswrongwithyou end point makes sense to me... I was a dumb child too.
But even as a dumb child... I would talk to my group and be all "hey, I'm not really down for graphic rape scene, so let's NOT do that since that seems to be the direction we're heading"... though I guess I've been fortunate enough in my groups over the years to not have run into Piss Wizards so everyone involved has been really above board.

Except one.
That gross fuck made a terrible self insert character who was a cisgender transwoman, painted in the trans flag colors, whose backstory was a cringefest of insult and weirdly homophobic and transphobic.

>>92547916
I can't say I've ever seen it in actual play, from my experience at least it's something that people mostly talk about, but never do. However, I tend to get into a lot of games via the players in previous games recommending me to the GM or inviting me to play in whatever they're GMing, so my groups tend to share the same rough values. In terms of Piss Wizards, I've met a few, but we tend to run under the assumption that your magical realm is fine so long as you aren't demanding other people help you make it real. One player wants to play a genderbent girl looking to get her tits back? No problem, they'll even get in on it and have some fun bringing it up every now and then. Another player wants to dramatically sacrifice their life and have a huge impact on the party? Reception gets frosty pretty quick, even though it's way less degenerate.

>terrible self insert character who was a cisgender transwoman
...isn't... I could have sworn cis and trans were opposites? If you were trans, but also cis.. you were always a woman, but transitioned into... a woman?

>>92543118
>"industry standard is $30"

>One player wants to play a genderbent girl looking to get her tits back? No problem, they'll even get in on it and have some fun bringing it up every now and then.
See, it's fine when it's just one person doing their own thing with THEIR character... The Piss Wizard becomes a problem when they're the DM and forcing that fetish onto your characters without your consent.
>Another player wants to dramatically sacrifice their life and have a huge impact on the party? Reception gets frosty pretty quick, even though it's way less degenerate.
That's definitely cause of how awful Main Character syndrome (now called That Guyism) is for a group.

>...isn't... I could have sworn cis and trans were opposites? If you were trans, but also cis.. you were always a woman, but transitioned into... a woman?
Oh yes. You are indeed correct.
Buckle up, buckaroo.
She made this cisgender female character with a backstory of having a wife and a son.
And the explanation was that one day she was magically transformed into a man.
Somehow.
Which she then ran back to her lesbian wife to have heterosexual intercourse with, making her pregnant.
Then got magically changed back into a woman.
Somehow.
I can only imagine, assuming that this wasn't a gross fetish thing, that she thought the group was such inbred retarded chuds that if we saw two women and a kid we would shit ourselves in need of an explanation for that.
Instead of just going "ok" and moving on.
I assume it wasn't a fetish thing because she always talked down to everyone in the group like we were all retarded.

>>92548138
>The Piss Wizard becomes a problem when they're the DM and forcing that fetish onto your characters without your consent.
Apparently my fetishes are pretty tame, in the opinion of my group. They keep telling me to include more of them, and I'm starting to suspect they might just have a thing for boobplate and operator girls.

>Which she then ran back to her lesbian wife to have heterosexual intercourse with, making her pregnant.
>Then got magically changed back into a woman.
>Somehow.
Strangely, I think I would have respected it more if she just got turned into a futa or bought the potion on purpose.
>I assume it wasn't a fetish thing because she always talked down to everyone in the group like we were all retarded.
I knew a guy when I was in high school who always went on about the -4 Str thing and how it wasn't real, and in retrospect I think he was grappling really hard with the hard truth that people aren't equal. This smells similar to me.

>>92544964
I'm with you anon. I can see how the rogue's killing of them could make others uncomfortable, but as a scenario it's pretty interesting. My only question is why the empire didn't find some willing elven women instead of provoking a political conflict. Surely a few, at least, could have been persuaded with money and promises of nobility.

So many noncreepy not gross options that are infinitely more respectable.
Like we didn't even need the explanation for her lesbian character having a wife and child.
But she sure thought we did.
I think that's what annoys me about it. Cause she clearly believed all this convolution was necessary for her character to make sense.

>>92547431
Kek is the player short? My sister has a height complex because she's 5' and I'm 6'1. She's always going on about how she wants to steal my height and how it isn't fair that she's small. I guess that kind of thing is real on a girl's psyche.

>>92548755
Yeah agreed, seems exactly on the level with every other edgy thing mentioned in the post

Not any particular one scenario but I've noticed a weird phenomenon in my years of play.
People always poke fun at the idea of men playing female characters and that its always some weird magical realm shit. Funny enough I've almost always seen the inverse and its always the most uncomfortable cringey shit.
>Men playing women.
>Usually RELATE to the persons tastes, but are often just regular people/characters. Worst is maybe silly #girlstuff like wanting to go shopping or lightly flirt with an NPC
>Women playing men
>Fujo tier wish fulfillment. Guy is clearly their ideal male they want to fuck or a massive twinkish fuccboi. Usually "super misunderstood" and "tragic" but always "a sweet guy underneath all that darkness" that "just needs someone to fix them."
Has anyone experienced this at a table or do I have the worlds weirdest luck?
I swear every time Ive played with a female player thats piloting a male its an extremely uncomfortable experience and theyre dripping with magical realm while dudes playing girls has been corny at its absolute worst.

>>92549754
FtM troons are always batshit too, women don't understand men at all and are tremendously unempathetic.

>>92549754
Something I've actually noticed is that I'm actively awful at playing interesting male characters. I don't know what it is, I just sort of instinctively slip into bit character mode. Sometimes that's what's called for and I have a blast doing it, but if it's a more story-heavy campaign I just... flounder unless I'm playing something more removed from myself, like a woman or an alien or monster race.

>>92548934
Actually, no. She's one of the taller women I've known at 5'9", but it's like she actually believes the 5'11" vs 6'0" meme and thinks she's not really 'tall' unless she has a head on other people. I've known she's had a predilection for wanting to one-up people for a long time now, but I've never seen her have such a... bizarre and frankly kind of pathetic meltdown over it.

>>92548819
Also that, but presumably someone like that would want a reason for her character to be 'naturally' a woman.

I’ve joined an online game just so I can participate in these threads. I’ve been playing TTRPGs for twelve years but nobody’s ever done anything remotely cringe cuz it’s all my mates.

It’s weird being in a campaign literally just waiting for something cringe to happen. Nothing even close has yet. I’m honestly having a nice time. Maybe I’m just lucky as fuck?

>>92550047
>bizarre and frankly kind of pathetic meltdown over it.
It's funny that that's what triggers her. Every enemy is now a woman slightly taller than her.

>>92549754
Women don't have to have a filter any more because society coddles them, so they are able to shit out cringe more unapologetically then men. Men will notice or get shit on by the other players for doing cringe shit so they either correct their behaviors or are not invited.

>>92548026
hes unemployed and lives on a disability pension. and yes he is totally out of touch, has no common sense or lived experience. he has played with people online only before he decided to play with us and he was forever having falling outs with them and leaving camaigns

>>92550427
Yes and no. Theres a million variables in finding a social circle.
Hell, cringe MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED, but maybe you all just laughed it off or are on a similar enough wavelength that its your flavor of fun, and theres nothing wrong with that.
Alot of these stories and complaints are of or about people who just cannot take a hint, or were raised in an environment where certain behaviors were never moderated.

>hell, cringe MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED
I guess I can see this. Like, there was a time they fought some harpies, and a player rolled to see what their character would know about harpies, and they rolled the max possible so I just let them see the Monster Manual. Well, another player caught a glimpse of the bird titties in the art and immediately decided he wanted to seduce the harpy, which I can see being deemed cringe at some tables depending on how it was handled.

But at mine, everyone came together to help him out, the Druid gave him a shiny moonstone to attract her attention, the warlock gave him a severed toe to propose with, and he illusioned himself to be a muscle bound mothman, and totally won her affection.

She carried him off to her nest, but once he heard chicks chirping he was like “nah, I don’t wanna be a stepdad” and noped outta there. He was then able to drop a rope to the others and they circumvented a ton of the dungeon, which would drive a spergier DM insane. But I just thought it was cool, they turned a silly meme seduction into constructive problem-solving teamwork. I don’t really see how it could be cringe, maybe at other, more autistic tables it would have been weird or awkward.

>>92550884
Ding ding ding. What a fucking loser.

>>92551628
Remember that cringe is very subjective, but if your table finds that kind of stuff fun and roll with it, thats all that matters. Alot of frustrations about cringe and uncomfortable situations is spawned from a lack of communication (on both sides).
From time to time you get a genuine sperg but thats par for the course.
I play in a game where I have two female players and all they want their characters to do during downtime is kiss and woo each other, but when its session time theyre actively engaging and participating with the party. I simply told them that I wont be looking at any of those specific chat logs, its not to my tastes, but if its the fun they want to have thats fine (as long as its not overtly disruptive.)
People doubt how far basic communication can take you in this hobby

>>92551691
I would read those chat logs

>>92546592
>contempt
It's recounting horrible shit, it doesn't mean all table experiences are bad. And quite frankly, anyone who's played more than a little bit has at least one terrible experience, unless they're strangely lucky and only play with stable individuals.

>>92547431
Tbh I'm actually surprised given it's almost always men who get asshurt over height. Is it an actual, biological woman?

>>92550427
To be fair, with remote games alot of the weirdness gets filtered out. You can still get some stuff but the kind of raw autism you see people bring to the table is harder to replicate. You can wear your cum-stained shirt in a online game and nobody will know unless you tell them.

Yeah, she's not trans. Scum's player is also female, Sororitas and our techpriest are men.

>>92553535
I just assumed most of that guys HAVE to be terminally online hopeless incels. Maybe I gotta show up to a FLGS for this kind of cringe. Or maybe if I stick it out in my online campaign someone will reveal their autism eventually.

I just want to bear witness to this shit in real life ONCE. Until then I can’t even wrap my head around all these stories.

>>92553654
>are the most efficient at absorbing
That’s not even true, a paper towel or washcloth would be WAY more efficient at absorbing, that’s literally what they’re made to do. Paper towels have the massive advantage of discretion, and washcloths can be easily used for multiple sessions as well.

Besides, even if you HAVE to cum in a shirt like a total retard, how fucking massively spaced out do you have to be to then go and put that same shirt on??? You have to be an absolute slug of a human actively dedicated to the admittance of all facets of hygiene from your life. In which case I’m shocked you have other humans willing to physically interact with you.

Untrue. A friend of mine is heavily filtered. On Snapchat and TikTok.

>>92553863
Depending on the FLGS crowd, some of them filter That Guys. Mine has Adventurers' League, and it's full of normies. I suspect the That Guys have either decided it isn't worth their attention, or been bounced from the table.

Now, when it's Magic or Pokemon, that's a different story. But for RPGs they seem to be in private groups. And trust me, that kind of thing is a special kind of hell and you are lucky not to have experienced it.

>>92553920
My apologies, I should have added most efficient out of washable options. While toilet paper and paper towels could absorb more cum, you're then wasting money. As for washcloths, that's still less surface area that requires more frequent washing.
>do you have to wear it
I'm not the one wearing their cum-shirt dumbo, I'm just saying that it is the best cum rag option.

Tell them the game is rated PG-13, and to treat violence and sex like they're in a marvel movie. Always used the movie rating system to prime my players expectations for how much degen shit they can get away with. If you want to kiss a character then sure, but full on making out doesn't fly. You want to punch a guy then sure, but smashing their orbital bones until their face is permanently disfigured isn't cool

Mostly it was weird in a party that doesn't really have that much conflict between themselves, but also she didn't just want to be tall. What I also left out is that she wanted to copy traits and characteristics with her studying bit, and she insisted that her Agility would HAVE to go up if she got taller. She'd already made a few joky attempts to study the techpriest's brain a few sessions ago, and that made it all make sense.
That's the thing that wound up triggering her meltdown, I told her it was a hard no, because she wasn't going to just copy every party member's best traits to become the best at everything. If she wanted more Strength, she could pay xp for it like a normal person. Really, I have to credit the scum's player for noticing the thread before I did- she asked what she would do if another party member was better with a sword or stronger than her, and she admitted that she would want to copy that too. 'with consent' my fucking ass
