This thread is already a failure, no one here advertises games anymore and they’re like five billion different “gamefinder” discords filled with drama that seems like a bizarre fever dream because no one wants to put in some community engagement and actually run a server about finding games.

the threads used to be pretty decent, they're just not anymore thanks to the discords giving gamefinder threads a bit of a bad wrap. i feel like the people that post gamefinder threads are trying to cling to the old culture of them

For all of you saying you can't find games on discord servers or accuse people of being in "cliques" in a discord server. Or that discords are a waste of time. I have something that is going to shock you and may blow your mind.

Simply being in a discord server isn't enough to get you a game. You still need to speak, talk and be social. You can't just lurk and expect to get games. Most DM's don't post games publicly, they go headhunting for people they get along with in voice channels or chat. Think about it, if you are a DM looking for players, who are you going to pick? A person you know you get along with or some random lurker that never posts or chats and maybe a turbo autist?

You need to talk and socialize, if that scares you, then play solo games.

>Anyone that disagrees with me a is a tranny

You are clearly unhinged. As if I give a fuck about trannies or niggers. You can't get a game because you are turbo autist not because of a politics. Literally every discord linked here lets its users say nigger and are not particularly welcoming of people who chop off the dicks of kids. You are just retarded pal.
>>
>>92719010
I play though
>>
>>92720032
I've found games in the discord servers, it's really easy to do, just socialize without being retarded. People naturally filtered themselves into the discord servers that best fit their disposition and the kinds of games they want to play. The ERP'ers went to the ERP server, the grognards went to the grognard server, the trannies went the the tranny servers and all of them did it to avoid people like you and other trolls. Also why are you in an lfg thread if you are not looking for games? Really must be just to shit post.

Good luck with your life, but personally if I were as retarded as you, I'd fucking kill myself.
>>

It's alright, people only get mad at them because they make fun of ERP's and lolicons. If your a lolicon ERP its not the place for you. Thankfully you can just go to the ERP server if you are.
>>
>>92720640
What’s the deal with people on this board doing ERP with other men anyway? I’m not a prude but it’s such a weird fucking thing to do, especially when this is a board for tabletop games and not online hookups.
>>
>>92719725
Wrong, you need to not ever engage in conversation because then you might say something that someone disagrees with and they'll resolve to never let you into games. Stop trying to trick people into blacklisting themselves from games.
>>
>>92720685
TTRPGS are about power fantasies and those fantasies also include sex. It really isn't surprising to see the two mixed. Most ERP is between two guys but you don't think of it as another guy you just read it as a novel.

Is it gay to jack off the porn written and drawn by a man? What if that man only draws the porn for you and its a CYOA? What if you just remove the art? is it gay? Even if it was, why is that a problem? If anything I think its weird people have such an obsession with two guys just having fun. Literally why do you care how to guys have fun?
>>
>>92720754
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No problem but I like taxonomy and want people to be accurate about it. And I care because more people should realize their homoerotic tendencies so we can drop the pretense as a society that bisexuality isn't the majority.
>>
>>92720778
You sound like one of those people whose sexualized taxidermy. Like one of those Russian sex dolls made from human skin and bones.
>>
>>92720754
>TTRPGS are about power fantasies
I have never approached a tabletop RPG this way and it sounds incredibly boring.
>>
>>92720691
Don't ever, ever, ever, engage people in conversation. In fact never even apply for a game, otherwise you might get rejected and black listed.


>>92720778
I think you are trying to categorize everyone as bi as an excuse for yourself because you harbor a deep insecurity.

>>92720933
Glad you found a way to make it fun for you? However, power fantasy undoubtedly a pull for many.

So from what I can gather, the people who WANT to find groups are literal sewer-people, and you just have to get lucky and:
1. Have friends
2. Have friends that want to play TTRPG's

This is impossible.

Yeah, that has always been my problem.
Either I had friends that hated TRPGs or friends that played exclusively TRPGs that I loathed.
Forced myself to play out of desperation, but I only managed to last few sessions before throwing the towel.
>>
>>92726259
I think my issue is I grew up rather normally and did all the stuff ''normal'' kids do, was social, played sports, did activities and stuff, but no one else was interested in TTRPG's that I knew of.
Finding just a group of even halfway decent humans to play with is impossible.

And I'm not saying even ultra nerds, ultra dorks, fine, I'm talking like, these people don't shower, walk around with headlice, don't wipe, enter session 0 saying they want to rape and kill and play chaotic evil characters, start spewing the N word as soon as they see no black people in the party, etc.

It just gets really disheartening.
>>
>>92726560
>walk around with headlice

Yeah, it does.
I resorted playing online because it was the only way left for me.

>>92727674
Nah it's a mixed bag. Some of the best players I've had came from tg. There were autists sometimes, yeah, but more often than not they see themselves out of the groups they join.

That said, finding a nice game to join on the other hand is far more difficult.

D&D fans will literally stick to their preferred edition for decades without spending an additional dime while Warhammer fans will buy all the latest editions and codices while whining about how the rules are getting dumbed down, how the lore is getting destroyed and how their army is getting shafted and then just line up to buy the next new product anyway. People who played the old White Box D&D in the 70s meanwhile are still playing it to this day.
>>
>>92728034
Wtf wrong thread
>>
>>92726560
It really comes down to luck. I grew up in a religious household with parents who literally believed that D&D makes you a Satanist. I couldn't play until I was in college, where I met some guys at a Gunpla store who had played homebrew RPGs and wanted to try D&D. Those guys were great players, and we still play years later (online because we spread out over time). But a lot of the other guys I met at the same Gunpla store were horrible players, including one AD&D geezer who thought he was tough shit for killing his PCs with random falling rocks.

Ultimately, I went to a place where there be nerds, talked to them and got to know them, separated the wheat from the chaff, and made a long-term group
>>
>>92719725
>You need to talk and socialize
Why? Nobody in the entire history of playing RPGs has had to monkey-dance for the privilege of being let into a game, you either played with friends or posted a flier and played with the people who showed up.

Play with your friends, running for randoms isn't fun. Trust me, I did it for 7 years at my local store. Find people you vibe with and convince them to play. In 7 years of running for random people at my local game store I only kept in contact with 4 and only consider 3 true friends. Which is sad considering I DMed for at least 100 people.
>>
>>92736633
It's like, the opposite of survivorship bias. Unselection bias? If you run with randoms, the only players you get are the ones who can't stay with a long-term group, and there is usually a lot of reasons why a long-term group won't let them play.
>>
>>92737109
This 100%
The people looking for games are people who are not in games and don't have a friend group.
You have to ask yourself why that is.

>>
>>92737109
That is 100% the case, and why I dont post my games in LFG type settings. If you can't find a group to play with, chances are there is a reason for it.

Personally I like playing with and finding new people mainly as a way to socialize and make new friends. which is why I always run 2-3 games.

>>
>>92737137
They didn't leave, you probably just stop staying in contact with them, or didn't have time. From my experience with the same situation, if you say no to hanging out enough times, people just stop inviting you. Not out of resentment, just as a passive way of accepting you can't hang out. Sometimes, out of politeness of not wanting to put you in the position of choosing between your friends or your family.

No DM wants a player that's going to miss 50% of sessions and no players want to be in a game where the DM needs to cancel 50% of their sessions. While its true that real life is more important than games, people will still get upset at cancellations.

I was also raised a JW and am no longer, so basically just me and my wife and kids.

>>92737250
>I'm too old to make new friends.

That mind set is what makes it so you can't make new friends. I'm 35 and I've just discovered a new group of friends. You just need social skills, talk to everyone, all the time. Last Saturday I went Dunkin Donuts for a croissant and black coffee and ended up chatting with someone about Warhammer 40k for about 30 min. A Complete stranger mind you. Just get off your phone and interact with the people around you.

>>92737285

Wow why didn't I think of that? Just let me go get a respec potion so I can be a social butterfly like you!
>>
>>92737318
A person develops social skills by actually being social. Just like you get better at a game by playing it. Just like any other learned skill, its never too late to learn.

Whether you believe you can or can't make new friends, you going to be correct.

I don't know this is good advice or not.
But one advice I've heard that in a busy lifestyle is best to schedule enjoyments and pleasures. I once heard that how a couple kept their marriage together and keeping Intimacy in the bedroom was to schedule sex.
One could easily apply the same logic to hanging out with friends and playing games with them. The problem is sticking to that schedule.

>Some people just don't like to try new things.
That's true.
>The investment required to learn a new system is intimidating to some.
CoC is not that difficult to learn, I've managed to GM a group that never played before and it went well.

>>92747658
Original poster here, I think they mainly just wanted to try DnD because they were posers who had seen Stranger Things or thought DnD was ''metal''.
>>
>>92747658
Oh I agree, it was easier to learn than other systems I've played. But everyone is different, and some just aren't as keen a learning new things.

Would you happen to have a link to an ERP discord or six? I'm hoping to run Fabula Ultima with some at least as perverted as me.

Every time I get interested in MTG or TTRPGs I realize I don't have friends. I then go to a gaming store, cringe out of my skin at the general populace that fathers there, give up hope, and wait until next year when I try to get excited about them again.

I wish I were dead.

I have Bolt Action and Black Powder with TTS.

Find me by adding me via my Workshop upload of M Y F A R O G (I also made one for G A M M A ~ W O R L D).

That's why you should play online; you don't need real friends, and you don't have to look at disgusting freaks.

Pro tip: when you sound this desperate you're actually repulsing people because they think: "Why is this guy so desperate? There must be something wrong with him. I should avoid him."

It's like a cartel at this point. I mentioned Pathfinder once on the group FB and it got deleted and I was banned please send help.

Nah, just stop going to gamersexp.

>>92756934
Come to Memphis, I'll play other games with you.

>>92756934
That's super funny. Both that you think "I want a D&D alternative. I know: Pathfinder!" and that they were mad enough to ban you from their fucking social media club for suggesting it.

I didn't even WANT to play Pathfinder, I mentioned I had played it once.

I'll run an OSE one shot if i get 3 or more takers. I miss old late night saturday tg one shots.

If I'm trying to get into TTRPGs, should I start as a GM or a player?
I feel like as a player I could just walk away if the group was a bunch of weirdos, but as a GM I could control the environment much more.
>>
>>92765028
Normally I'd say as a player, since it's much easier, but for online play?
GM due to the reason you outlined. And because it will be a thousand times easier to get a game going. Players are a dime a dozen.
>>
>>92765425
That is also the problem I have locally, tons of players, no DM's unless it's for 5E.

This is literally my store's problem. I'm trying to get a monthly WFRP 4E game going, but the manager says everyone coming in is asking for a D&D 5th Edition game and "cannot be the DM."
D&Dfaggots should be shot.

>>Player or GM:
GM
>>Systems preferred:
Really autistic homebrew based on both D20 Modern/Apocolypse as the core and battletroops for more gritty wound/damage system for PCs. I'm still working on making this, it is not done.
>>Times available
Sundays, most afternoons, (I work second shift). Wouldn't be more often than twice a month. I'd like to do really long games maybe monthly, I grew up playing that way with ADnD and I enjoy it
>>Methods/tools
Discord, likely alongside TableTop Sim for a board, I hate most tools so I may try and find something else, I don't know.
>>Tone/Theme Preferred
Gritty and painful, but not grimdark. There are still genuine paragons of virture, but also cruel and rude people. Almost everyone falls somewhere inbetween.

>>Other notes
I'm trying to get together a game for a Post-Post apocolyptic game set about 150 years in the future, and about 130 after a global catastrophy that set mankind back to somewhere around 1700s level tech. Black powder is common, although the information for smokeless and primers have been lost. The few engines that are still functional are guarded and maintained by somewhere between a Clerical order and corporation. Most societies exist somewhere between feudalism and oligarchy with some exceptions. If this interests you shoot me a message. Setting takes inspiration from the After the End mod and A Canticle of Lewbowitz, amongst others, it's a lot less technologically stagnate though.

What's the solution to the Discord problem? I actually fell for the meme and joined that one server with the red icon thinking it's an extension of this board/thread. I made an ad for my game a while back and of the people who asked to join I got a couple of trannies wanting to play their usual abominations, some highly-autistic furries, and some other undesirable retards. To think they have the gall to shill that garbage here, pretending like it's any good.
DO NOT fall for the meme like I did, avoid the discord server at all costs, it's a waste of time.

If I see one more stupid ass LFG post about 5e I'm gonna fucking lose it.
I'm tired of pretending 5e is good, why do people flock to this shit game? Is fake nerds that don't know anything else? Why are people so fucking obsessed with this slog of an RPG? I literally will play anything BIT 5e, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.
>>
>>92726560
I totally feel you anon, I'm the same way.

I was the kid in highschool that would have a rugby game in the morning, meet my GF for a lunch date afterwards, then I'd go with my dad to play AD&D with his friends at night.

It makes it actually surprisingly hard to find a game because Im not used to hanging out with people who crawled out of a sewer

I run WoD games for anons sometimes. I'm running Werewolf: the Apocalypse right now but I already have 10 players and 1 waitlisted guy and I'm at my limit.
I'll tell you this: I ran RPGs before I ever played one. I started with D&D 3.5e as the DM for my middle school friends. I ran WoD before I ever played it. I ran Vampire before ever playing it, I ran Werewolf before ever playing it, I ran Mage before ever playing, I ran Changeling before ever playing it, I ran Kindred of the East before ever playing it.
If you want a game, run one yourself. It's not the same as playing but it will fill the void better than nothing.

I run mostly for randoms online. I have a group of people I like but I still run games with complete strangers pulled from Discord and Roll20. I do it because it's fun to fuck with bad players by simply saying "no" to their outrageous characters (I recently spent 3 weeks with someone arguing to me as to why she [actual black woman btw she entered vc] should be allowed to be a mage in my werewolf game) but also because it's fucking rough when you haven't found a group yet and I view it as an RPG civic duty. /tg/ seems to be in agreement that most of the issues with the modern RPG scene is that nobody actually plays games, but the reason why nobody plays games is because nobody runs games.

too bad for you pal because I HATE anime! Hah!
real talk, most people would rather play face-to-face than online and people are talking about how to find real life groups and most GMs aren't going to add people to their games on a whim.
>>
>>92722093
the fact that you can say 5e without specifying the system is proof enough that there's two different scenes, an RPG scene and a D&D 5e scene. Nobody asks you to clarify if you mean Call of Cthulhu 5e or Shadowrun 5e or (shudders) Vampire: the Masquerade 5e or Dungeons & Dragons 5e, they just know.
>>
>>92776413
I feel the same, to me 5e is slop. just like the sloppy food of mcdonald's, but there's a car line on people hungry for the goy slop
>>
>>92727674
unironically I'm 50/50 with 4chan players being kicked after one session/becoming regulars, they're leagues ahead of Discord/Roll20 LFG players.
>>
>>92769722
To recruit players from non-Discord sources, like straight from /tg/.
>>92773668
"Lewd Dice Shenanigans," the erp server.
>>
>>92776413
reiterating what I said here >>92777071, it's because there are two different communities, an RPG community and a D&D 5e community. D&D 5e players are normalfag-nerds, the same type of people to watch streamers or play flavor of the month videogames, who latch onto what's trendy. They play D&D 5e not because it's good but because it's popular, as they play RPGs to hang out with their normalfag-nerd friends, not for love of the game. That's why they don't get into any new games, they already have their one-size-fits-all vessel for social interaction.
