Who do you exclude from your tabletop games?Why?
>>96650400People with spelling mistakes, meme players, freakshitters, wokes, otakus that speak like an anime character in real life, people under the age of 22.
>>96650426I didn't read the why.Spelling mistakes reveal they're kind of dumb.. I like people who are deeper that that (it doesn't mean making everything emotional, just not being shallow and dumb).Meme players want reddit humor and lightheartedness and I take my settings seriously. For instance, plot holes out me off and I don't like comedy in general that much.Freakshitters just aren't my type. I tend to prefer human-only settings with fantasy races being NPCs. Aarakocras, aasimar, demi tiefling demons dual wielding kensai with two pistols half-beast demonblood folks put me off.Wokes are excluded because I don't want to play with people that make the game about their political views and would put me in a reeducation camp for speaking the truth.Otakus make the game too childish; too much marvel humor and wacky nyaaa :3 ^///^ characters. Usually overlap with frerakshitters and meme players.Finally, I just don't feel comfortable playing with very young people, for some reason. Not too old though. The age gap for some reason matters to me.
>>96650454Of course he's the best roleplayer, he's been pretending to be a woman for years!
>>96650426>>96650454>>96650473Careful with that (You) farming, but here, know my pity, samefag-kun
I would exclude exactly the same people as >>96650426 would for the same fucking reason.>>96650454 would be excluded with extreme prejudice and vitriol
>>96650487Proof of >>96650454>>96650493Sorry, I'm just not gonna hate my friend over her gender. Sorry hahaha but I'm not!>>96650492I am not a samefag holy shit
>>96650492I swear to God that wasn't me. He was joking though.umm sweety you're no longer included in my table since you did a heckin' fascism... my setting is about finding your own gender identity as an oppressed otherkinfolx because all games have to have a subtext about my personal political views and the villain is called Lord Drumpf... we haven't gotten past the session zero though because I'm respecting their boundaries and triggers because of consent.
I have a friend who says he doesn't like ttrpgs so I don't play ttrpgs with him
>>96650536None of that is even close to my game lol. I am running a 3.5 game (Age of Worms) and a BX game (B4), and I daresay we have more actual gaming than you.
This was bad OP already, but holy shit, those posts are some real starvation for attention
>>96650567Yeah, you do have more gaming than I do because I'm not playing anything these days.>>96650585swear to God we're three different people and I'm starting to suspect he's not joking... either way do not feed the troll no more attention to these woketards
>>96650400Anyone who talks about politics at all. I don't give a fuck what they are, if you're here to talk politics get out. This is a tabletop game not a debate club.>>96650473>>would put me in a reeducation camp for speaking the truth>implying you don't want camps for those who disagree with you tooTwo sides, one coin.
>>96650619tl;dr I am retarded nogames and no one wants to be around me.
>>96650473>For instance, plot holes out me offI sure hope you didn't meab to say that plot holes put you off, because if you did, that would be a spelling mistake.>>96650473>Usually overlap with frerakshitters>frerakshittersYou do exclude yourself from your own table, don't you?
>>96650400I only game with friends or friends of friends. Anyone who doesn't fit tends to filter themself after a while.
>>96650745>>96650619part 2:>You can go roll dice and play pretend with your crew of gays and troons over thereThat's what I do lmao. This is a thread describing who you exclude from your table, and I choose to exclude the people who hate my friends. If someone is genuinely confused or clueless I don't hold it against them, it's elfgames half of us are socially inept or autistic. But if a guy is going out of his way to be a dick again and again, whether that means stealing from the party, being on his phone during his turn, or yes, calling my trans player slurs, I will boot them.>5e 2024 is fucking straight raw AIDS because of the woke gay troon agenda.I don't even play 5e anymore, it's a compromise edition that doesn't do anything well. I play 3.5 or OSR depending on what I'm in the mood for.
>>96650400Naggers, they're people who annoy me.
Generally just people who are disrespectful. If people show respect they are generally good people and good players.
How has no one mentioned Critical Role fans as a red flag yet???
>>96650473Based and well reasoned. I also exclude anyone who brings up Critical Role.
>>96650631No, I just want you to shut the fuck up.
>>96650853I am pleasantly surprised. Glad to hear it.
>>96650510Enjoy your friend while you can, you got around 50-50 chance they won't be around much longer.
>>96650473>Spelling mistakes reveal they're kind of dumb.. I like people who are deeper that thatK W A BWAB
>>96650400Contentious assholes. Anyone who's going to repeatedly pick a fight with me over any decision I make that doesn't go their way can get bent.People with repeated scheduling issues. If you don't value my time enough to either make time for me or gracefully leave on your own, you get the boot.People absent an imagination. I can help you with ideas and figuring out how to take the concept in your head and put it in the campaign, but if you genuinely can't think of a single concept or idea that draws you in as a player, I'll have to remove you from the game.Similarly, people completely devoid of initiative. I get occasionally finding yourself in a situation where you're not sure what to do, but a big part of having players in a TTRPG is seeing their decisions and how they pan out. If you can't or refuse to make decisions, there is little point to me running a game for you.
>>96650619tl;dr i am a chad yesgames and i have more friends than you
People who think that >>96650426's pic is a real phenomenon. I just know this kind of person will absolutely shit his pants in a screaming rage if he sees anything that isn't up to his standard.
>>96650631>Implying you don't want camps for those that disagree with you tooNTA but I just want to play games. I've had retards throw bitch fits at the table because the players killed a female antogonist that was a literal baby murdering witch because "it is sexist and mysogonistic to harm women". I've also had a literal "white pride worldwide" white supremacist and black people at the same table and game with no friction at the table at all because they didn't bring their beef to the table. They sure as shit weren't hanging out afterward, but they played the game fine. It is very much a one-sided issue of people injecting IRL social bullshit at the table. If your trans friend can play a ranger and not do social commentary? Pull up a fucking chair. That's all I give a shit about.
>>96650426>when your dom makes you have the proportions of a fucking ghetto rat black womanso long as they're happy i guessgod damn that dude has some hips tho
>>96650400Cis peopleEspecially cishets
>>96650745>I don't do an ideology test for my players.That's because you're a normal person but WOTC has been doing that to players. So does Mork Borg, or Kult, Hearts of Wu Lin, Games Workshop, and RPGNet forum and reddit RPG communities. Wokes are the ones policing ideologies and putting their diversity in non-political settings, banning those who don't play along.>>96650631No, I wouldn't bother with camps.>>96650746I'm sorry if you're one of the excluded players :/ those are just typos, you got what I meant.
>>96650970I've had people ask me for my pronouns in discord servers and heard of people using DnD as "therapy". There are plenty of stories around. Most people aren't that weird, but I want them out because they're the bad guys irl
>>96651101>using DnD as "therapy".dnd is not therapy, and these players will impose their mental issues onto you through their characters rather than seeking professional help or even talking to a friend like a normal person. Avoid at all costs
>>96650400Trannies, mentally ill people and commies, because they will inevitably inject their personal mental illnesses into the game and create game-breaking drama among everyone.
Women. If they’re single they’re looking for a man and will ditch as soon as they get one. If they’re not its because they’re looking to cheat on their man or they’re getting dragged there by their man. The latter one is typically fine, women are pretty good at pretending to like things.
>>96651484Women are not the reason you keep getting kicked from groups, retard. The reason is because you keep acting like unlikable moron.
>>96651513I don’t get kicked from any of my groups and I don’t hate women. They have their own spaces and if they come into ours it’s because of the reasons I mentioned. It’s no different the other way around.
>>96651574So yes, you are a unlikable tard without a group because you keep losing your shit over stuff that other groups do fine with.
>>96650400People who talk out of character. One warning and then they are gone. Zero tolerance for that shit.
>>96650454Reported you to the fbi for hate speech
>>96650400Only people with autism. Is a hard filter, but it works.
>>96650426Wow both of those characters look like worthless faggot shit.
>>96650400Theater kids obsessed with para-social emotive drama while eschewing abstract philosophical adventures
>>96651774No, the one on the left is good.>>96651779Never got the theater people stereotype, care to explain?
>>96650400Anyone who isn't my friend or a friend of my friends.Obviously, I would never have anyone from this board in my games because of shit like >>96650426 >>96650454
>>96652023> both sides!!!11
>>96650400There's no one specific descriptor for a type of person I disallow. It's more accurate (but maybe more vague) to say "I exclude people who don't seem like they'd be a good fit for the game I'm trying to run." As in, they don't seem invested in the setting, the system, the tone, etc. Why would I want to GM for someone who shows a really obvious reason for why they wouldn't enjoy being in the game? They're just going to end up dragging down the whole experience for everyone else too.
>>96652103Of the same coin, yes. Because both of you are would-be weeds in my garden, and I ensure that I keep my garden weed-free.You're just schizophrenic and perceive yourself as not being a weed.
>>96652103>"I'm not part of the problem because I said so" post
>>96650400Thiefling and Vampire players. Since I don't live in the US, I don't have the Weimar problems that I see the rest of you have in the thread.
>>96650835They play games?
>>96652272I'm Argentinian and have been in a handful of woke discord servers, all of them Hispanic (two Argentinian, one Chilean). I think there were other woketards in Mexico and Spain, land of communism, but I don't remember. Got kicked out for saying demons were inherently evil; bioessentialism.NWO wasn't just meant for America. And if it was, it trickled into the rest of the Western hemisphere. Even Japan.
>>96651064>No, I wouldn't bother with camps.You are a wage slave calling whoever cuts you a check sir or ma'am, blue hair or not. Stop acting like you are hard on 4chan. If you were hard, you would be in prison for committing to action. So how about you go home and get your shinebox, you meek, little babyback bitch.
>>96651484>women are pretty good at pretending to like things.I would say you know this from seeing a lot of faked orgasms, but let's be real. You've never gotten that far.
>>96650400People I don't get along withSimple as
>>96652616>Stop acting like you are hard on 4chan.> you meek, little babyback bitch.
>Normal gamesPeople who aren't able to go three to six hours without mentioning real world politics or separate reality from fiction and people who are a hassle to run the game for. Leave IRL shit at the door, learn how to cooperate, and let's play the game.>Lewd gamesThose who just expect a congo line of monster and bandit dick. If I'm really getting the dice out for ERP, I want some agency on the player's behalf.
>>96652647if you were ever in a relationship you didn’t pay for you’d know pretending to like things is half of it on both sides.
>>96652720And that is what hard looks like to you? Posting an image?
>>96650400>>96650426This and coomers. I fucking hate coomers.
>>96652867My point was that you criticized me for being tough on 4chan...while trying to do the same.>>96652852What's an ERP session like?
>>96652947It can often depend on the GM and setting. It's usually done through text such as play-by-post or in a chatroom because talking to another man about how orcs are raping his pussy is kinda weird. People usually play less optimized builds since rape and slavery often replaces death. Parties are usually smaller in order to make sex scenes not as intrusive. Sex can either be something that happens once-in-a-blue-moon or something that's baked into every session.I usually prefer when sex is a little more casual but not entirely intrusive. People can make some really interesting characters sometimes.
>>96653020They're all going to jerk off, that's why it's chat only.
>>96652947>What's an ERP session like?Long. It takes a special group for the GM to give you the time of his day just for that. Which is why it's basically exclusively online.The biggest issue with it is that it will detract time which can be used for actual roleplaying.I can be fun no doubt, especially if you're that close to your party to indulge that. But it's a growing problem if you actually want more of an actual game. And people tend to become tired and less interested rather quickly.
>>96650540best postclose thread
>>96650400My group doesn't formally exclude anyone but we're all mates and we've been playing together for years so theres no need to.If we did need a new player then we'd probably invite someone we knew socially even if they were completely new to rpgs before some random from discord or however people find new players today. Obviously we'd exclude anyone without basic grooming and hygiene, nobody wants to spend hours/week sitting next to some stinker. Being a tranny would be an automatic no, they're generally disgusting people. Faggots too. Non-whites are a maybe, we've got one latina player in the group and she's cool but a couple of the guys are pretty openly racist so we wouldn't want anyone causing friction.>>96650619 >You can go roll dice and play pretend with your crew of gays and troons over there, don't come fuck-up our tables with your fucking deranged politics. The hobby can be played by anyone who cares to try their hand, but you don't get to demand changes to suit YOUR insane sensibilities at the expense of literally everyone else. You WILL be Gatekept out. We have to do so to return thehobby to a stabl, profitable state where creatives dont need to bend themselves like origami to suit your in-groups fucking mentally ill demands. 5e 2024 is fucking straight raw AIDS because of the woke gay troon agenda.Based.
>>96650400Grown ass women who act like seventh graders and can't keep their feet to themselves.
>>96653201>Non-whites are a maybeNon-Whites can make excellent players.
>>96652188Shut it, centrist weed. Your holier-than-thou act is killing my flowers.
>>96650400Inherently evil races. If they're corrupted or artificial creations or something similar, fine. but a race just naturally being evil is a lot less interesting than just having an alien morality.
this thread is just sad
The right answer is women. You can survive political disagreements, but no gaming group has ever survived a woman moment
>>96653682Sure, like I said, the Latina chick is a great player, but two of the other guys in the group are known to throw around the occasional 'nigger' or 'kike' and if that's likely to cause friction with a new player then I'll side with my friends over someone I don't know.
>>96652616This is an intel agent trying to create 'violent extremism' where there is none.
>>96656169>t. retarded nogames.
>>96650400Children.>Exceptions being if they're cool, but generally pre-teens are too immature to do compelling stuff with, and teenagers that aren't autistic are too prone to poor RP, or shit character designs.Outspoken conservatives.>If they feel the need to bring it up in their first conversation they'll inevitably turn out to be overly judgy, critical of other players, and incredibly sensitive. This will all be done at the table because for some reason they don't have a filter.Outspoken liberals.>Never actually had any, but it's a boot for the same reasons.Human male fighter fags.>Equally as preachy and judgy as political conservatives. Also inevitably fixated on the idea of making a character with as few quirks, interests, traits or uncommon identity features as they're convinced this makes their character better than anyone elses.>They're neo-edgelords. Except edgelords actually make useful and engageable PC's with room to grow, instead of NPC's.Fat, unwashed 'game experts'.>Inevitably suffering from; little social awareness, shit PC making, compulsive powergaming, refusal to engage in RP, dice fudging, main character syndrome, or chronic phone addiction.'Confident at the outset' women who aren't fat.>Often very bad for main character syndrome, to the point they'll try hijack the entire genre with zero awareness because clearly people should be nice to them.>Doubly bad if; said woman is attractive, there's no other woman at the table, she's 'not like other girls', or she brags about herself.>Conversely women who start out shyer tend to make the best players.People who can't take tension and have to crack jokes at the first sign of it.>Had it before. Utter pain in the ass.People who bring up critical roll, or the idea of 'X cards'.>I don't care about what a table of pro's does, and you don't get to stop me in my narrative tracks because you felt a bit uncomfortable all of a sudden. Be an adult, talk to me afterwards.
>>96650400CHUDs, women, people under 30, new players...Might be all.
I know this is a reaction bait thread about players we hold silent grudges against but the only player we had to actually ban from the table was a chronic human male fighter player who’s only defining features for his characters seemed to be having no personality and contempt for the game.
>>96657542What about people or GMs who insist on doing silly voices or shitty voice acting?
>>96650426>>96650473There are spelling mistakes in your posts. I assume you don't play games then because you'll have to uninvite yourself.
>>96650400Everyone.
>>96659666based me too
