I don't know this people and I don't want them to get the impression that I'm a hater, but I hate them so much.

Leave the group chat and don't associate with them then.

At least your FLGS has rpg players and serves as something besides a Magic/Pokemon/YGO dealer.

Showing agency for the self is toxic and problematic. You will now be socially castrated on approved social media platforms as an acceptable target.

There are also quite a few beggars trying to be as pitiful as possible to get into a table.
I'm waiting for either someone to make a call and see them fail/succeed, or being there for long enough to get a general idea of how they roll. If you try over and over again while failing to get players you start looking like a creep that people avoid for some reasson.
I'm sorry social cues are hard to follow for you or something.

>playing VtM with strangers
you either never played VtM or you're a huge creep that shouldn't be allowed near teens

Blind leading the blind. This has been a problem for a long time with 5e; it doesn't fucking teach players how to play or even what play looks like. It dedicates a ton of space to what combat abilities, about 2 pages to skill checks, and then just expects the DM to do the rest of the work, assuming they've read the DMG, which seemingly no one does.
>>
>>96479753
I run open tables on discord every week, I have at least half a dozen absolute newfags to ttrpgs every month. I'm pretty sure I can introduce someone to the hobby faster and easier than the PHB.

You're a fun guy

>>96479225
Nice. I just embarrassraped the co-owner of my flgs in front of all his tranny nutriders by telling him not only could he not join my game but that the group will no longer be playing in his store. Needless to say he will try to find a reason to ban me now, but it won’t stop me from walking in, browsing for 30min, and not purchasing anything as per my usual habit

Trying to find games online is hell, but it's a hell of the playoid's own making. If you ran games yourself you'd never have trouble playing games.
>>
>>96480381
I want to run a game, this group is one way to find players when you don't know anyone
>>
>>96479438
This sounds like begging.

based if true

Why can't he join your game?

What the fuck does this mean?

Christ I can smell the desperation
>>
>>96479438
>Hey, when do you guys play? I'd love to join

I'd reply with "hey fag, if you're that desperate to play, there's always adventurer's league!" Then me and my group would laugh at you and keep playing without someone who has to BEG to play games.

What are you retards on about? OP obviously wants to play and is bummed about "missing out," though he also seems to despise them
If you're so socially inept/pessimistic that you see a simple inquiry about potentially joining the group as desperate then you have a lot of work to do on yourself, as there's obviously something deeper going on

>>96480584
Silence, beggar.

>>96480612
You wouldn't note that they're not making a call for tables if you didn't have some interest in joining
>>
>>96479225

Honestly most content revolving around "campaign stories" is aboslute fucking garbage

> "Look how waaaaaacky and zaaaaany and heckin' cool our party is"

I don't fucking care, your story is only funny to you because you were there.

> "OMG Did you notice that [insert here stupid ass oversimplification literally designed to make something that makes perfect sense in context sound wacky]"
> [Insert Whedonesque cringe dialogue]
> [Insert le rool of cool dumbass exploit the DM obviously only allowed because they didn't have the balls to say no]

In case you cant tell I absolutely fucking hate the retards that make up the 5e community
>>
>>96480584
I'm not the one begging for games, keep the advice to yourself loser
>>
>>96480516
You can’t join my game because you enable trannyism and you worship criminal niggers, bud.

You absolutely can and most RPGs are intentionally very easy to learn, but I feel like it's more of a bug than a feature that D&D neglects effectively teaching how RPGs actually work because veteran players will probably handhold them through it anyways, so why waste the pages teaching anything?
>>
>>96480938
But they already waste a shit ton of pages! 300 pages is an absolute waste. WHFRPG is more or less as long and it includes setting lore, narrative health effects, crit tables, hit location, way more variety of shit you might want to buy at some point, classes. 5e's PHB is an absolute scam.

And probably in the way of wasting more paper the end result is that new players think they must be missing stuff because it's a huge book and it couldn't be as easy as rolling 1d20, adding what the class pages say and comparing it to a target number.
>>
>>96480938
You're massively overestimating people, veterans have to handhold them through it; reading is a gigantically difficult task for most people.
>>
>>96480938
>so why waste the pages teaching anything?
Hold-over from the 70-90's when anything that didn't was considered a unofficial splatbook.
>>
>>96479427
Two kind of people play tabletop games, bald fat dudes in their 40s and 20something gender creatures who got into it from Critical Role. I know who I'd. Rather play with.
>>
>>96480516
it means you are virtue signaling protecting imaginary “trans kids” from mean bullies that you also made up in your head because you have no legitimate life experience beyond the consumption of fiction. In reality you get scared by even the feeblest lankiest of pavement apes
