>>94420743Nobody ever found a worthwhile game throught this. Give it up.

>>94420993You haven't. And we all know why. The rest of us do just fine.
>>94420993Found a pretty good ICON game here around 3 years back. Went well but fell apart when one of the players left rather spontaneously midway through. Party was too small and too deep in the plot to just have someone else join so we called it.
>>94421007I wanted to be the one who gets to make the passive aggressive post about how it's all Anon's fault and all the rest of us stunning and brave transwomen don't have any trouble finding games. Can you delete your post for me?
>>94420993Fuck off.
>>94420993I had two games from a gamefinder thread. One was a 5e game, it was terrible, filled with trannies and underages, the other was a DH game, I was ghosted after sending my character sheet.
Are the discords even around anymore or did they all die to clique activities?
>>94421328They were shut down for posting CSA content.

I'm down to GM something. The things I have ready to go are D&D, Mutant Future (as a game of Mortal Kombat) or VtM. Could also have Stars Without Number ready to go shortly. I'd be up for starting this weekend and playing on Tabletop Simulator over discord voice. If enough folks are interested, I'll run one including for new people. Drop a dicord and what you're interested in and if we get 3-5 let's do it. I can pull up-to 5 other players, depending on what folks are interested in. We already have a regular Wednesday night game, but I have more than just what we're playing prepped and I'd like to run one.>>94420993I used to run lots of one-shots for new people off of these. But the discords made these threads icky.

Game runs Sundays at 3 PM PST on Tabletop Simulator. Discord: Kickflip89All core material is allowed but the other 3 players are mostly noobs to PF1 so you're asked not to make a crazy ass OP character.

>>94429163Would you be ok with using text till you heal up friend? I've had a few players with similar issues in the past, so I'm more than happy to accommodate. And good news, we got three players already and we can always use more!

>>94424514>Mutant Future (as a game of Mortal KombatNever heard of the system but the mortal kombat bit interests me, how would it work?Never tried online games honestly, but a friend swears by them, I'm kinda willing to try them out if schedule allows.
>>94431992Attached is the overview. My group is no-longer in the same city, so we're resigned to Tabletop Simulator. It's not bad.Mutant Future is an OSR/retclone of Gamma World. The no-art-edition is free on drivethrurpg. It's mostly just d20 with hitpoints being static (almost everyone starts with Constitution in D6 hit points) and mutant powers (some good, some bad).Game is set post MK11. So there are lots of worlds and this one had the invasion of Earthrealm, which failed, resulting in civil war in Outworld (ongoing) and things like the Special Forces back on Earth. Players are hired by an Earthrealm nation to locate means of travelling between Realms. Dungeon delving, politics, exploration and fighting, oh my!
>>94431992>>94432482Oh and I'm in Eastern US time. Evenings or weekends. I'd prefer weekends, but Tuesday, Thurs or Fri also work for me.
>>94432482Last MK I played was years ago, and the one I played most was deadly alliance, so not really up to date. Never expected to have to catch up with the MK plot of all things.>>94432488The main problem I have is that I have a shitload of work hours split in different times of day, basically every day. I'm in yoroppa so your evening should be my afternoon, kind of a stretch. >tabletop simulatorThat I don't have.>discord voiceMight require some getting used to, my spoken english gets rusty. I'd rather use text honestly.I don't want to sound defeatist but these are the main factors that prevent me from playing more than once a month with my irl group. If I really could go around during the week I could go to some gaming clubs.
>>94434879Bummer. I'd really love to run it. Good luck, anon.
>>94421328It is indeed still up. However, if you're not interested in interacting with people and being social in some way, you probably won't get into any games. https://discord.gg/EWcrT8ET
>>94421328Seriously don't do it, anon. These discords are the absolute worst of /tg/. Shun them. Run. Try anywhere else. Roll20 applications, lfg on reddit. Anything. The gamefinder discords are just... really icky.
>>94435092Also, not as many people enjoy running voice games as text games, but both get ran. If you wish to talk about anything related to tabletop, you'll find people to engage with.
>>94429310Thanks to everyone who showed interest, this game is now full.
>>94434879>I'm in yoroppa so your evening should be my afternoon, kind of a stretch.Isn't it the other way around? Afternoon in Burgerstan is evening in EVROPA.
>>94436902Right, I switched that, it was late. So evening in east USA is...the middle of the night here. Fug.>>94435007I will keep an eye out if these threads continue, you never know. Good luck anon.
>>94423896Yes and they are awful. One is extremely clickish, while the other will fully outright ban not only from their server but ban you from other servers if you don't play there game of we're not worthy to play with the popular kids.

GMHosting a GURPS game 1 Pm sundays. setting will be my version of delta green (i skimmed one lore book). Discord for voice, Discord for rolling and VTT. Tone is action/pulp horror, Resident evil, Men in Black (the comic and show not the will smith comedy.) Disc : fsdefde>RIP gifs i guess
>>94420993Games are only as worthwhile as you make them. I'm having fun!
>>94420993>ThroughtMaybe you have difficulty finding games because you can’t spell simple words?
>>94437591The best filter for players is to see how they act and interact in the wild. If you’re a GM who puts hours into prep and effort into running the game you want players who are a good fit and players who you enjoy spending time with. If you’re rejected from 99 games, I would examine the constant between all of those games.
>>94437482I can already take a guess as to why you weren't invited to any games.
>WHAT?! PEOPLE ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER IN THE SOFTWARE MADE FOR TALKING TO EACH OTHER?!> RRHGHHHHHHHH CLIQUE!! CLIQUE!!! CIRCLEJERK!!
>>94439463It's a poor substitute for Gamefinder threads, anon. You can keep on grooming--no one cares. It doesn't need to replace Gamefinder threads.
>>94438113>If you’re rejected from 99 games, I would examine the constant between all of those games.Cool it with the anti-Semitic remarks.
>>94439463It's a clique because they'll treat you like shit until you leave if you aren't part of it.
>>94439531It's just the next form of the socialization forum. It can and will replace other avenues, otherwise we'd all still be playing games via snail-mail, MUD, irc, etc. Wanting to participate in only those is your prerogative, of course, but there is a reason why these threads rarely get made, and are becoming more and more dead. Times are always changing.
>>94439738Just because you give examples of other things that have gotten better over time doesn't mean the thing you like is therefore an improvement. Discord is a massive downgrade from gamefinder threads. But that's alright. You'll be contained, we'll have our threads, everyone is happy.
>>94439990The same can be said about what you like though, it's a moot point. It's also reductive when you could be utilizing more mediums that people are using more and more. Still, I understand the culture on 4chan has changed drastically even from just six to eight years ago, but I think it's worthwhile to reach out even if it takes more time to find people here.
>>94439738The times changed nearly half a decade ago. These threads went to shit long before the Gamefinder discord started up, way back in the days of TheUltimateFiction, Touhoufag, Dorian, and the Bastardland skype group. At the end of the day, having a place where people talk and form a community just is objectively better for finding games, because it gives you an opportunity to actually see who you're inviting and screen people better. This is a hobby where you are spending large amounts of time with other people. Vetting is important.
>>94440181>At the end of the day, having a place where people talk and form a community just is objectively better for finding games,The thing is, nobody worthwhile is going to just sit in a chat room on the off hope that someone will eventually form a group to play. They already have friends and other hobbies to spend their time on. It's better to know someone before inviting them to a game, but you're going to severely cap the quality of player you get, since most people will be NEETs with limited relationships. In my experience just churning through 10-15 people over the course of a couple of months is better, since you can find people who fit much more easily and like half of the ones who don't are so autistic they sperg out immediately, often during the first messages, and never see the game at all. My current game was started in gamefinder threads, and we've all met IRL and known each other for years now. We also had more than remained come and go quickly or never make it to a session. Not a single one of us has ever used a gamefinder discord, and asking nobody said they would either.
>>94435092why would I want to go to a discord dictate by gay furry?
>>94440280I've had a very similar experience using Discord, from following the link years ago in these very threads, even. The various forms of meeting worthwhile people can absolutely exist in the same sphere, I'd argue it's necessary to prevent this fading, effort intensive hobby from being completely left behind as we have to compete with more and more instant gratification from entertainment.
>>94440923If you can't write in coherent English, you shouldn't. I'm sure there's plenty of servers for whatever your maiden tongue is, though.
>>94440280>They already have friends and other hobbies to spend their time on.Then why would they need to look for games online?
>>94441006Shut up gay furry
>>94441067Yeah
>>94422423>>94423896>>94424414>>94435092>>94437482>>94437591I'm glad to see other people shit on these servers. They are sizeable enough that I get a good amount of applicants from them and have gotten good players through these servers since 2020, but never the regulars. I think cliques are inevitable, its human nature but the ones here are particularly insufferable and mean. Lewd Dice Shenanigans is decent. Erotic Gnome Finder should be avoided. EGF has porn nazi mods, and they frequently say "who are you?" to newfags who just try and contribute to conversation. Mods act like mini celebrities and everyone has to suck their dick or get warns till banned. These people have some kind of delusion that you **have** to nolife the server to have fun and get into good games. Despite it being obvious that most server members have 0 interaction outside of posting game ads/player ads. Evidently the regulars don't play all that much in each other's games and for all that "getting to know each other" I've recalled quite a few spats between regulars ghosting one another. I treat these servers like extended /tg/ threads with LFGs attached. Conversation meanders between useless and mildly interesting, sometimes there is art to steal.
>>94441040Sometimes your friends don't like every single thing you do. Or there's issues with time commitments, or a variety of other things.Someone with no friends is a huge red flag though.
>>94441165This is true of them, but there are people working to change this sort of thing in some servers. People will always have fights when they're invested in each other, at some point. I'm glad the threads have worked out for you, though.
>>94441165The need to chat is overstated. I posted an ad a while ago and was very surprised to see so many lurkers who were very good writers altogether.
>>94424072If any other anons are interested I'll reach out. Otherwise I'll keep your dc on hand and check on reddit/the official lancer discord for more players. I've never played either so inexperience is no issue.
>>94437728>1 Pm sundays.Timezone?
>>94443095>the official lancer discordJesus Christ anon don't do this
>>94443095yeah, no worries and no rush - feel free to reach out whenever if you're able to run it. Best of luck!
>>94441246what about is poor bastards live in the middle of nowhere like Montana, Alaska, North Carolina?
>>94441165I think the problem is just that no one online seems interested in building a community for the sake of it anymore. The only ones putting in the effort are permanently online people with huge egos, everyone else just gave up and thinks shit like this is inevitable for whatever reason.
>>94446377Kill yourself.
>>94446400Case in point.
>>94420743>>94420993>Nobody ever found a worthwhile game throught thisNot when 99% of the fags these days want you to get on Discord. At this point we should set up an IRC and use that as a lobby in addition to these threads.
>>94446416Whats wrong with disc?
>>94446440Too many trannies. IRC keeps things straight to the point. I use it to pick up pdfs and share in the PDF/cyoag threads. Usually IRC are chill people there.
>>94446467I'm honestly kind of flabbergasted that IRC isn't used more these days. Even the old IRC communities have all died, and it makes no sense to me. IRC still works, and it filters out all the horrible normies by default. If we went back to using IRC, we could have the old internet communities back in a flash.
>>94447403>it filters out all the horrible normies by defaultThis. Going to discord looking for decent sessions is like turning a garbage can upside down looking for gold. There were very good chatrooms from this board where you could set up with other GMs and players a few years ago for 5e or whatever but now it's awfully rare.
>>94447403Had to check because you made me curious.The /tg/ IRC channel is still up and folks are in it. Not posting it here because you know: discord kittens. But if you ever knew it? It's the same one.
>>94420993I found my very first game here. That campaign didn't go more than a few months, because I was really sick of the group in the end, but it gave me the courage to play and look for more.Eventually I returned to the GM who ran that original game, and we've been playing together for 4 years now. Longest campaign of my life.
>>94447601>But if you ever knew it? It's the same one.I didn't, because I had never thought to look, but I will find it. Thank you.
>>944476976667. Port 9999 appears down.
>>94447729Cheers.
>>94447601>Discord is le bad>Being social? Cringe, gay, it's stupid just like roleplaying>Why does nobody use IRC anymore>Hehe, I still use IRC, but I'm not gonna tell anyone where>Cliques are bad :^)(But not my clique)
>>94448488I think you're confused about the number of people posting in this thread.
>>94448488It was always a matter of preference, that's why everyone has moved to what works best for them and said damn the rest.
>>94424514>>94432482That sounds sick.
>>94448488Cliques are good.
>>94448945Not for this type of thread, faggot.
>>94441165I completely agree with you except that Faggot who fucked up these threats to begin with came from Lewd Dice Shenanigans.
>>94448779Well, I'd be excited to run it.

>>94452854Exposing gamefinder discord servers? Very cool.
>>94420743Hello
Are there other communities/forums with people who aren't super left wing politically correct?I don't mind not being able to say the nigger word but I don't want to be canceled for saying retarded.

>>94458469Added, sorry. Just saw this.
Is it some weird thread meme or did the gay nazi cabals who run all gamefinder discords stop being nazis or something? Good for them if true.
>>94471153>>94458469Well uh, that is kinda awkward, but I forgot I've put it here, so I reflexively deleted all invitations (I am not used to people friending me)

Serious question, how do you find random games online? I've only ever found one, it was decent, but the GM ghosted us after about 6 months of playing. Only luck I ever have putting a game together is with people I already know.
>>94477842Gamefinder threads have been best for me.I've also just taken random online friends from vidya and pulled them into TTRPGs before, with mixed success.I've never seen success on Roll20 or the like, but I'm sure if you're dedicated enough or have low enough standards its achievable.
>>94477842Playing tabletop shit online seems soulless. Why not get some actual friends?
>>94441165Can confirm EGF has extremely petty catty mods who have hair trigger tempers.
Fellow GMs, how hard is it to run for two groups in one week?
>>94477842My current group are a channel on Discord that coalesced around Overwatch. One day I asked if anyone would wanna play D&D. Had a hell of a lot of takers and we've been playing weekly for 9 months or so. Another group also runs, now, because we couldn't fit everyone who wanted in (I'm not comfortable running a table over 5 players).>>94478824It's not bad, honestly. I use tabletop simulator. We have cameras on and use voice. It's not as good as in-person, but it's pretty good. And it does have some advantages because of how easy it is to pull in resources like maps and minis.>>94480396You're going to eventually get buried under trying to write for two sessions a week. You'll try to compensate by winging more and the result will be both games petering out.
>>94480452That's what I feared. I think if I ran a single oneshot for the second group it would run okay but I wouldn't risk it for more than a few weeks, and not if I'm using something I didn't make well in advance.
>>94480477A one shot you could pull off if you're at that high point of creativity and investment. I doubt it's just me who goes through cycles where I'm writing and wanna run games, to where I'm executing on what I'd prepped, to weeks where I'm dreading the game and scrambling to prep, to those burnout weeks where you figure "fuck it I'll just wing it." I, at least, would end up in longer periods of "fuck it."
>>94478824Playing online is a different experience. I play with IRL friends but prefer online because it allows for a lot of different things.Remember when Hearthstone came out and it was neat to see all the new mechanics that could be added in a video game card game that were impossible to do with a physical one?It's like that.Perfect LoS and exploration (no uncovering the map with paper awkwardly), whispers where the other players sit there and wonder while you drag the guy into another room, easily incorporated art and complex battlemaps, automatic scene-based music and sound effects on particular actions, and more. Not to mention the time saved rolling and bookkeeping with macros and digital character sheets. It ends up being more work for the GM to make use of all the features, but a much better experience overall IMO. If you're lazy GMing then it's probably better to just be IRL.
>>94480396Pretty hard. The only reason I'm able to do so in comfort currently is one game is more experimental/loosey goosey, and the other is completely prepared for ahead of time. EVERYTHING.
>>94481776>EVERYTHING. How much of this everything?
>>94431326Adding a few more details for more visibility:>Timezone: GMT +1>Setting: forgotten Realms>Lost Mine of Phandelver + more stuff afterwards> If I get enough players I can start this week>variant rules I will be using: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/AeZXTgCEsi58

>>94491690EGF is *extremely* left wing
>>94478824Some of us are past our early 20s which is the last time people can still do that, you'll understand when you grow up.
>>94501531Yeah getting together with kids and jobs on weeknights is just fucking hard. Even when we can, some people are just too fucking tired or wrapped up in home life to be into it. We play on tabletop simulator, but still play in person on the rare weekend we can go camping.
>>94491690Both are tumblr diaspora masquerading as /tg/. You choose LDS if you're a furry or ponyfucker, or EGF if you're the more regular sort of sex pest. In both you'll find no shortage of trannies, attention whores, leftypols and reddit mods.
>>94501613Pretty much this + people move as life happens, but the game doesn't have to die.In the case of my group, it does help that we have something like 7 players and the group has a policy that the DM + 3 players is enough to get a session going.Since my buddy and I joined this group we've been gaming pretty consistently, even twice a week sometimes.Blessed be the likes of Roll20.
>>94501613Haha, imagine being a NEET in your 30s with plenty of time.
>>94505621Imagine being completely isolated in your house for 2 years during a global pandemic.

Has anyone ever run or played in a play-by-post type game from one of these?
>>94512848It'd be harder to say I haven't. Play by post is all the rage on discord these days.
>>94512848>>94512901Man, I used to love dumb roleplay forums back in like 2004.I wish I knew how to find something like this today - The social anxiety is too extreme to even use mic in Discord.
>>94513848A roleplaying forum was different because only a dedicated freak would ever even go there. Discord pbp people join and then just fucking mute the server until the gm @'s them to post and then they're all like "uhhh i dont know". Never mind that they're almost kind of right to react that way when most of the time GMs set the scenes with complete dud prompts that leave even the most active and introspective posters standing around with their limp dick out trying to figure out how to get things moving.Absolutely wretched format! Never get tricked into playing in one!
