>I thought this hobby was all about acting stupid in front of other hobbyistsonly when the camera rolls
>>94284923Depends on the group.
>>94284923Depends on the group. People are also way more prone to act in character in text games. Pic unrelated.
>>94284923>delete list That was retarded. You could have posted it here.
>>94284953This kind of thing would be very appreciated in a mud or similar rp text game, for sure. In person or voice though, most people get too stuck on how they sound or how what they're saying would seem to an imagined audience.
>>94285112No he couldn't, the story is fake as fuck. Stop taking the bait.
>>94285128What makes it fake?
>>94285127It's why some improv classes are a good idea. Even if theater makes you roll your eyes, it helps you get over the 'speaking to a group' jitters that plague even players who barely talk in character.
>>94285141Having a functional brain.
>>94285218Having a functioning brain makes things not real? Shit I did not get psionic powers like that.
>>94284923theatre kid behavior might look fun in a podcast, but nobody actually wants to deal with that shit in person
>>94285128>>94285112I lied, still have it.It's not in English, so doubt you will get anything out of it.
>>94284923>oh hey guys, our support is not useless, yeah.
OPs example is a bit much, but honestly it is shit to play with a group who have steadily been less and less in character as time goes on and players come and go
>>94285358Post it esl liar.
>>94285370Alright, there are two lists, one being curses, the other prayers. It was for a WFRP campaign, and the priest being a priest of Manann (which is how I got the inspiration for the HARK TRITON HARK in the first place).The idea was to have three parts for each, so you rolled 3d6 and see what random prattle you got out of it.Fuck, it's actually too long for a post.
>>94285411Curses>1 Höre Manann, höre! Mögen die Wellen sich schwarz färben, seinen Körper verschlingen und ihnin die Finsternis ziehen!>2 Manann, höre mich an und siehe diesen Sünder an deinem nassen Reich!>3 Gott der See und Stürme, der Fluten und Wellen, des brausenden Wassers, sehe dort den Feind deines heiligen Reiches!>4 Oh Manann, dein ergebenster Diener erbittet deine Segnung gegen diesen Unhold!>5 Höre, Manann, höre! Ich erbete deinen unnachgiebigen Schlund, dieses unreine Wesen zu verschlingen und nimmer auszustoßen!>6 Manann, was siehst du hier? Erzürnt dein göttliches Auge nicht gegenüber diesem unheiligen Feind der Seen und Wellen?>1 Möge er vom Seetang verschlungen werden, so stark wie Riesenarme und so giftig wie das Blut der Merwyrms!>2 Mögen Sirenen an seinen Gliedern zehren und ihre Schreie seinen Geist fluten!>3 Mögen die starken Arme des Kraken seine Brust und Rippen zerquetschen und ihn in die tiefsten Schlünde des Meeres ziehen!>4 Möge unerschöpfliche Wassermengen seine Lungen füllen und zum Bersten bringen!>5 Mögen Sturmwellen ihn erdrücken und zerreißen, und seine Glieder über die weiten Meere verteilen, auf dass kein Grab ihn jemals betten wird!>6 Mögen tausend Mäuler von tausend Fischen an seinem Leibe knabbern, ihn über quälende Stunden hinweg sich einverleiben und der See übergeben!>1 Auf dass er den Tag verfluche, die heiligen Weiten der See verunglimpft zu haben!>2 Auf dass sein Geist und Brust erfüllt sei von der Wut der heiligen See!>3 Auf dass die salzigen Fluten seine unheilige Wesenheit hinfortspülen!>4 Auf dass die See ihn verschlinge, einsauge in die unendlichen Tiefen und der schwärzesten Abgründe!>5 Auf dass die Fluten ihn hinfortspülen und selbst seine Erinnerung in Vergessenheit gerate, als hätte es ihn nie gegeben!>6 Auf dass die Wellen seinen Leib zerquetschen und unter ihren Fluten zerdrücken, bis keine Überreste mehr übrig bleiben!
>>94285416Prayers>1 Höre, Manann, höre! Dein ergebenster Diener ersucht deine Hilfe für diesen Streiter in deinem Namen!>2 Oh großer Manann, spende uns deinen Segen, wie du uns Wellen und Wind sendest für die gute Fahrt!>3 Manann, oh großer Manann! Leite diese Seele über die stürmischen Weiten des weltlichen Wandels!>4 Großer Manann, ich erbitte um Beistand in diesen stürmischen Zeiten, wie du deine Schutzbefohlenen durch die See geleitest!>5 Gott der unendlichen Meere und Weiten, gib diesem deinen Gläubigen die Kraft der brechenden Wellen!>6 Oh Manann, gebe diesem einen deinen Segen, wie du die Fischer mit reichhaltiger Fischernte segnest!>1 Möge die Reise und das Unterfangen dieses Dieners der Wellen gesegnet sein von gutem Gelingen!>2 Mögen die Winde günstig sein und sein Weg über die Weiten der Meere glückvoll ihn ans Ziel bringen!>3 Mögen die Wellen ihm gewogen sein und ihn sicher tragen durch die Unwägbarkeiten der Welt!>4 Möge das Schiff ihn sanft tragen, der Mast den schwersten Winden standhalten und der Rumpf eine undurchdringliche Barriere gegen die salzigen Mengen darstellen>5 Möge der Albatross ihn führen, als würde Manann ihn selbst anleiten, aufdass er auf sicherne Buchten und geheiligte Strände anlandet!>6 Möge der Fischfang vielreich sein und die Netze sich füllen wie das Deck auf stürmischer See mit Wasser!>1 Auf dass der nächste Hafen am Horizont erscheint, wie der Sonnenaufgang den nächsten Tag kündet!>2 Auf dass Manann das Schiff auf den eigenen Händen tragen möge und beschützen vor jedweden nautischen Unbill!>3 Auf dass die gefräßigsten Haie, vielarmigsten Kraken und giftigsten Seeschlangen von ihm ablassen!>4 Auf dass die Güte der See großzügig sei und die Schätze des Meeres zahlreich!>5 Auf dass die Wogen des Schicksals ihn durch die Unwegsamkeiten der Gezeiten verhelfen!>6 Auf dass die Segel sich aufblähen und das Schiff wie der Albatross über die wildesten Gezeiten gleitet!
>>94285428Happy now? Translate it yourself.
>>94285416>>94285428>Listen Manann, listen! May the waves turn black, engulf his body and drag him into the darkness!These are dope. You might have been too fun for other Germans though. I am under the impression they take fun very seriously there.
>>94285442Nah, if anything, I'm the one focusing more on the campaign and goals while getting annoyed that the other players fuck around with roleplaying that leads nowhere.
>>94285438Based OP delivering. Wish these ever-present no-games doubters would relent.It's always a struggle trying to read the room with stuff like that. You could try slowly increasing the gusto instead next time. Or just risk making it awkward again if you have the balls, not like anything major was lost
>>94285456Sorry its under appreciated. I've copied them and will be mixing them into my game as zuhanden table for various priestly requirements. Thanks anon, glhf with your game.
>>94285492Thinking about it, I could have informed my group that I prepared something like this. Could have helped.>>94285495Maybe this shitty thread was then good for something.
>>94285416>>94285428This is the kind of culture you want from good WFRP players.
The eternal struggle. I'm a rollplayer, my friend is a roleplayer so ultimately you have one guy matter of factly stating actions and one guy screaming loudly.I wouldn't change it for the world.
>>94284923Some people aren't going to be operating at nearly the same level as you, for better or for worse. Further, people blindsided by what someone else is doing are typically going to hold their tongue until they actually form an opinion. Honestly, lean into it for a couple of sessions, and if you don't get any kind of response, then feel free to resent these people for being shitters. Personally, I see this sort of behavior (passive silence) mostly come from people very new to the hobby or very new to the group, who aren't entirely certain exactly how to take a situation they weren't prepared for. Typically, such people either take a couple of sessions to get into the flow of things, or realize TTRPGs aren't their thing and leave on their own terms.
>>94285517Just keep a few of them to mutter under your breath during play. Start as the enthusiastic but becoming embittered priest. Shit's classic.
>>94285128>No he couldn't, the story is fake as fuck. Stop taking the bait.Based vigilante moderator hanging out in the thread he hates to seethe about the thread.
>>94285358Why did you lie?
>>94285416>>94285428Your group doesn't deserve you.
>>94285416>>94285428I might get a little nervous too, if one of my group members suddenly started shouting in Deutsch.
>>94285872>Where'd you guys get the armbands? >I don't know, they were just handing them out at a parade
>>94285416>>94285428Shit's nifty, don't know what the rest of your group's problem is.
>>94285416>>94285428So fucking cool, I'm keeping the idea of having a list itself.
>>94285926Hey, I'd be just as nervous if anyone started yelling in Hebrew or any other non-English language.My suspicion is equal-opportunity!
>>94284923why are you trying so hard, weirdo?
>>94285428not much going on in your life, huh? lmao
>>94285416>>94285428>German groupThat's your answer
>>94285416>>94285428>Sit down at the table>Bro next to you starts screaming in german(?)I'd stare too, ngl.
>>94286809Why aren't you trying at all?
What are these nuns and ducks doing outside the fatloss thread?
>>94287043It was either ducks and nuns, or bunny nuns with guns, anon.
>>94285428>>94285416Forgive me for saying this op but I think your issue was that you got too emotionally invested in front of other germans who aren't as familiar around you as you thought. Germans and Nordic people in general tend to be very reserved so don't take it personally. Not trying to be racist it's just a cultural thing I've noticed when interacting with germans. They aren't very expressive.
>>94287094funny gunny bunny nunny cunny
>>94284923That nun comic was supposed to be cute but it ended up making me sad
>>94285428>>94285416I see your problem. You're playing with G*rm*nsAs is well known, the Huns are a rather dour and humorless breed
>>94287136The best part is the use of cunny here is accurate since it means small rabbits
>>94284923It's a game not theatre. Shut up and roll.
>>94287431Roleplaying game. Playing a role is as intrinsic to it as rolling dice.
>>94285416Will you play WHRP with me in Germany pls. I don't live in Germany yet btw.
>I thought this hobby was all about acting stupid in front of other hobbyists.They're not acting
>>94286980Why are you, weirdo?
>>94287444Yeah, you play your role by making decisions on your turn. Not by playacting like a faggot. Faggot.
>>94285428>>1 Möge die Reise und das Unterfangen dieses Dieners der Wellen gesegnet sein von gutem Gelingen!What the fuck is this supposed to say.May the rise and fall of these waiters(?) of the tides be blessed by your success?
>>94288649>He makes decisions on his turn>He doesn't roll dice to determine what action he takes based on a chartWhat a fucking fruit.
>>94287877You can ask in the warhammer fantasy general if someone wants to run some games, but I'm still playing in my GMs campaign.>>94288938Already pretty good.>UnterfangenUndertaking>DienersServant.
>>94284923That's actually cool, your friends are faggots or you're just a really inept writer.I'm assuming it's the former, shame you deleted the list.
Oh, Germans. Well that makes sense, that's dope though.
>>94287397Ah, you know your Middle English well.
>>94284923I have no idea what this thread is about but I love Little Nuns
>>94285127I was WAY more of a melodramatic thespian when I did text-based roleplay. Back before IRC died and all those communities moved to degenerate Discord servers where everyone is a lunatic and/or transexual.Good times.It's way easier to roleplay via text because there's more distance between you and the cringe of actually taking it seriously, and your actual acting ability is irrelevant compared to your ability to write long-winded prose quickly.
>>94285416>>94285428Shit's based and your group is wrong and gay.
>>94290090>long winded prosegod, please, save me from thisAny system that doesn't allow me to interject at appropriate times is one that fails at the social aspect. Nobody talks to each other in big monologues, stop it.
>>94290249>Never played text-basedThat's just how it works. It's not doable unless you can get some meat on it. Generally speaking a time limit of like 10 minutes for really substantial posts, 5 minutes for somewhat meaty ones, and then like 30 seconds for one-line posts where you pretty much just say "I whack him in the face with my shovel."
>>94290300I've played text based, that's why I need to be saved from this.Also, 10 minutes a post is SO fucking slow.It would take you real life hours to finish a simple conversation.
>>94284923>I did the thing they do on youtube "play" sessions>Why nobody reacts to that by real table?
>>94290300>>Never played text-based>That's just how it worksAsk me how I know YOU never played text-based. The dialogues are normal, what's winded are the descriptions and intejects of character thoughts, aka things that don't work when playing regular game by regular table.>rest of the postYeah, you never in your life played anything via text, thanks for sharing your Platonic ideal of that concept
>>94291640You've created a whole narrative in your head that's completely divorced from reality. Have fun in the parallel nightmare zone you've constructed for yourself, because I can't even argue with you if your starting premise is based on your own personal assumptions about how things work in bizarro world.We'll just have to agree to disagree.>>9429033510 minutes is for multi-paragraph, significant posts. Openings, or significant plot points. 5 minutes is for setting a complicated scene, where there's a lot of moving parts that each need a sentence of two of legitimate consideration. This post I'm writing right now will have taken me just over 5 minutes because I'm actually thinking, for example. 30 seconds is for the workmanlike one-sentence replies that are meant to come out matter-of-fact.
>>94285416>>94285428I would legit suck you off under the table if you did this in my group. This is amazing.
>>9429170830 seconds is an incredibly long time for a short reply, even with captcha.5 minutes for the post you have written is fucking ridiculously long. You will NEVER accomplish anything in a text game like this.
>>94291804>>94291708like, fuck, this would make a petty argument take light ten times the amount of time it would in voice, and twenty times as long as in person.
>>94291634>oh noo imagine roleplaying in a roleplaying gameI haven't ever watched one of those d&d shows unless that old "magic missile to attack the darkness" counts.
>>94291804>>94291809Yeah dude that's one of the noted downsides of the medium. You have to accept it's a long-term investment.
>>94292217This.There's a reason some play-by-post games used to get like one post per involved player per DAY.on IRC taking 5-10 minutes to crank out some purple paragraphs was not unheard of. I feel like I'm being gaslit or something, I thought this was common knowledge.
>>94292427It's just zoomers and unmedicated ADHD patients being unable to comprehend people being fine with a slower rate of progress. But when you're only expected to post once every few days you're also gonna take more time to think about what you're putting out.
