Post things you'll seriously consider leaving a game over, either from players or a GM.
Making red flags threads on /tg/.
>>96790902Playing with women Playing with men who play as women Playing with faggots Those are the only three hard No for me
>>96791011So you are nogames and a retard.
>>96790902Not actually running a game is a good way to get me to leave.
>>96790902When the GM has private sessions with one of the other players (romantic or otherwise)always turns into that guy becoming super important to the plot and also suddenly knows 3 times as much about what's going on yes this has happened many timesyes it's the same guyyes they're both hard gay for eachother
>>96790902Being on /tg/>>96790964Fippy bippy
>>96790902
>>96790902Anyone with leftist views
>>96791011Based>>96791117Reddit
>>96791011>>96791276>>96791361These guys get it
Anyone with right-wing views. It's not a guaranteed thing they're going to be a dick to my trans or gay players but it's likely.
>>96790902>if one of the group brings their so to watch a session
>>96791011You haven't played a game in the last three years.
>>96792532You're a shit GM for allowing trans and gay players
>>96790902>primary RPG interest outside of actually playing games is a podcast or stream (usually critrole, adventure zone, etc)>active redditor>has strong opinions about which BG3 companions are the most fuckable>thinks drag queens are cool or otherwise fun>active bluesky user who talks about what other bluesky users are saying about things
>>96791011>>96791381>>96791361>>96792488You guys should make a group and play together.
>>96792671Nah.
>>96790902People who use anime profile picsBad spellingToo much humorPlaying as women being menWoke/trans players (played with a trans "woman" and kept coming onto me and designing detailed sex mechanics that could only be avoided if you described how you stimulated the woman's pussy to prevent her from getting hurt while fucking her)
>>96792671Why does it bother you that others play differently than you do?
>>96791163i did a private session when one player got extremely separated from the party. we agreed to not tell the party whether or not he survived until the next session. the suspense was very high while they waited to see if his character would return or if he had to reroll a new one
>>96792671You don't even play games.
>>96792759That's a good idea. I'm down.
>>96790902Well I GM and it is my table so it is more the case of shit that I won't play with people over. If someone has ever given an indication that they actively use /tg/ I won't let them play at my table.
>>96793571Heathen! Heretic! Hypocrite!
People with furry tendencies are the biggest red flag. Homos can keep it contained and troons can be gatekept. Furries act normal for a while, often sneaking in by playing a basic rulebook race with anthro features, and then end up worse than anyone.
>>96791381>t. Based on reddit>>96792488And by getting it he mean nogames or brain.>>96792759They are too stupid to play anything,
>>96790902>character name is real name but spelled differenteveryone i have met who has done this has either been a rookie (in which case it's forgiveable and not all that unpleasant) or the most insufferable fucker ic/ooc blending fucker i've had the displeasure of roleplaying with>main and only character trait is traumatic event which is talked about early and extremely oftenusually extremely one-note characters and more often than not a way to turn a campaign into an ersatz therapy session>entire personality outside of character is all about how much how others don't quite get ttrpgs like them/like youhaving a strong opinion is fine but when it comes to these folks in specific it's always extremely grating to be either the audience or the recipient of the most gratitious self-glazing known to man over a hobby we all share. extremely prone to crashing out, usually accompanied by talking shit of strangers i could not be paid to give a shit about who they likely have no creative differences with other than socially falling out with them at some point
>>96790902>Red flags for players/GMsTransgender.

>>96794073I'm over half the things on this list lol. God it feels good to not be a closeminded reactionary.
>>96790902>wants to play as a Drow or any other generally evil creatureThis is the main one for me. I have never and will never see it done well.
>>96794120Well then I m not playing any games with you you fucing LOOOOOSER. Hahaha snort haha. Look how totally pwned you are right now. Come on tg, let's all laugh at this dweeb.
They imply that Eurasia was ever not at war with Oceana.
>>96791011>>96792975>>96794073Being one of those people. You're not really gonna meet them in any of your games since they are nogames chud faggots.
>>96794073The funniest things on here are "makes less than 20 dollars an hour" and "is estranged from his family"
>>96794635i like the dollar one because most people don't even make dollars but i think he'd still stand by it regardless
>>96790902I can tolerate only one joke character at a table. Also if the DM has no interest in fitting my character and their backstory into the world.
>>96791117Did no one ever teach you not to feed the trolls?
>>96794073> DM, DM, DMOh, boy...
When the player has no interest in fitting his character and backstory into the world.
>>96792975I'm genuinely curious about these sex mechanics. Elaborate.
>>96794882You've just replied to one.
>>96794936>When the player has no interest in fitting his character and backstory into the world.Ah, the memories of That Guy of my group wanting to play some variation of Spock or some other member of the Starship Enterprise in D&D...
>>96794073well lucky for you 3/4 of the list is only found within terminally online discordfags. Just play your games irl and you should be all set.
>>96794936That too
>>96794635Thing is I sorta get where he's coming from.I've played with brokies and there was constantly a debate about money when it comes to stuff like getting dinner and drinks for the game. Playing with people who can afford a decent meal, and get fuel for their car is much less stressful.I also get where he's coming from with the estranged from family stuff. If you're so insufferable a human being even your family doesn't want you I don't know if I want to deal with you for several hours at a time.That said I drink the fuck out of energy drinks - though I'm willing to admit my job isn't "REAL" by any metric other than the fact that it exists and pays me money every month.
>>96790902Houseruling without realizing they're houseruling and a lack of understanding of the implications of the houserule. Prime example is le nat20.
Why keep making these threads? They're always the same, faggots ragebaiting for easy (you)s.>women>anyone on the right>anyone on the left>anyone centrist>trannies >niggers>storyshitters >roll players>D&D players>non-D&D players>freakshit>HFY white male fighter playersIt's so tiresome.
>>96791011>playing as faggots explicitly not mentioned
>>96791011I've noticed that all the people you listed tend to play totally cowardly, anti-adventure characters. They never dive into fun stuff and always just want to rp in safe locations
>"I just like playing because it means I get to hang out with friends"
>>96795870As long as they aren't disruptive there is nothing wrong with that
>>96795767You're a red flag
>>96794572>>96794120Bluesky would be more up your ally, transnigger
>>96795904Wrong>they are completely silent unless directly prompted, bringing down the energy of the table>they don't track anything, so you constantly have to repeat yourself>in combat their turns are the longest as you can play for years but they still don't know the basics of the system>basically just a more cumbersome NPCThey're even worse if you're playing something like a wargame>minis: unpainted>rules: unknown>time: wasted
>>96795741>B-BUT I ROLLED LE HECKIN NAT 20!!!!!!!! DM YOU HAVE TO LET ME DO WHATEVER I WANT NOW AS REALITY BENDS ITSELF TO MY WILL!!!!! I HAVE REACHED GODHOOD AND ATTAINED A LEVEL OF POWER MORTAL MINDS CANNOT COMPREHEND!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT GET AWAY WITH KILLING THE KING AND RAPING HIS DAUGHTER AND TAKING THE WHOLE KINGDOM AS MY OWN????????? ITS A NATURAL 20 THAT MEANS I'M THE FUCKING DM NOWI blame 5etards for this shit. The rules go out of their way to mention that le epic nat 20 has literally no effect outside of combat and somehow these faggots came to believe it's an instant success no matter what.
>>96795944People were doing this back in the 3e days as well, and probably earlier. It's not new by any means.
You people are fucking spergs
>>967959445e subhumans were already coming into a hobby that had been making Nat 20 jokes for 20 years. By the time 5e came around and then several years later when a freak accident of converging events put 5e in the hands of so many faggots, we were seeing the monkey experiment meme in real time. People repeating memes that had been repeated by people who heard them from other people who actually knew that the meme was not meant to be taken seriously. By the time 5e became huge and popular, the general understanding of the game and the hobby were so far removed from their origin that every new player just believed that this was the real way that true, veteran fans played the game.
>>96794936lol story shitter
>>96795767mad cuz filtered
>>96790902Well when I advertise on roll20(shut up, if I could do it irl, I wouldn't be here in the first place) I look out for the following things>Played 1000+ hours GM of 0 gamesIt tells me you never tried to read a whole rulebook, and there is like 80% chance you're gonna be an entitled bitch when the dice doesn't favour you>Can't go a single session without complaining about the system and rulesNo system is perfect, and while some houseruling is okay, if you're gonna mostly accept it, you are better of playing another game. That alone doesn't mean the person is bad, it just means we are not going to enjoy ourselves playing this campaign. I've had good friends whom I still play with, but fell into this when I was trying to introduce them to a new system.>Can't shut up about the profane trinity of conversationsNo politics, no religions, no sexuality. My god, you're gonna be cancer whether you bitch about trump or democrats non-stop either way.>Massive jealousy on other PCs being better at the things they do.Just not a good time. I get the fear of being turned useless in the party, and not being able to contribute but there are clear lines between that and whatever this is.>Being an egghead while not being the GM.You probably met them. The guy who knows a lot about ships and nautical navigation than the GM, and thus will try to empirically prove that they can travel more in a day than what was declared. Bonus points if they try to bypass the rules in the book. Insert this to know any field that can come up in a campaign. Architecture, Metallurgy, Chemistry, whatever.This is based when they are the GM, but when they are jus a player and can't let it go, it's a bitch to play with.
>>96794120>God it feels good to not be a closeminded reactionary.How does it feel being a faggot though?>>96794572>You're not really gonna meet them in any of your games since they are nogames chud faggots.I'm a chud and I have 3 different groups. I have too much gaming in my life if anything. Just like them all too much to cut down. At least they don't all meet every week so that helps me not get burnt out.>>96794658I play IRL and I'm in America so I don't give a shit about foreign currencies.>>96794635>The funniest things on here are "makes less than 20 dollars an hour" and "is estranged from his family"Why? Because both apply to you and you're butthurt about it? >>96795003>well lucky for you 3/4 of the list is only found within terminally online discordfags. Just play your games irl and you should be all set.The sad part is, you're right, but I've also met loads of these people IRL. They play IRL and it sucks.
>>96795922>chudfag can't even write/pol/ is a septic tank, go back home, shit.
>>96790902Anime avatars. If somebody doesn't have one, I won't play with them.
When my players have zero self-preservation and then dare bitch at me for having their character die in the mouth of what might as well be an undead trash compactor cause that retard was clearly the chosen one and the sky would have split apart and the fucking pantheon would have saved him.I can twist the universe only so far until something breaks.
>>96790902not focusing on the game, on their phone or some other distracting thing.endless complaints about any complications or inconvenience, monster is too tough, gorge is too wide, npc is uncooperative, my rolls suck, etc. especially if their character dies.too little or too much roleplay, either not participating or taking up all the space.being a constant comedian and unable to handle tension or pressure/stakes.favoritism or malicious targeting.terribly constructed encounters, such as everything being whiteroomed.showing little to no effort to learn the rules.
>>96797531>How does it feel being a faggot though?Pretty good, girls and guys are both hot
>>96795922Nah. I come here because I am here to play tabletop games, unlike (You). You're here to culture war.
>>96795922>Bluesky would be more up your ally, transniggerntaI play Daggerheart.I've seen a few episodes of Crit Role. How does that make you feel? Do you feel strange emotions as you call me a faggot? Something deep and unexplored, bubbling out as you utter the word that gently escapes your lips, held there for but a second, like the tip of a nigger dick that nearly went in, but then the feeling goes away, and you slink back to /pol/, confused, yet aroused.
>>96794073missing>no phdThere's no point in playing with retards.
>96799932guys get the sedatives the faggot is dissociating
>>96790902>GM wont let me be a cute loli cleric >GM wont let me buy slaves>GM wont let me colonize new land>GM wont let me fondle the barmaid's breasts>GM wont let me rape and murder NPCs>GM wont let me sodomize land owners, seize the means of production and kill every single member of the aristocracy by skinning then alive with a blunt spoon>GM doesnt keep track of when our characters have to shit / piss / cum
>>96800506There needs to be a system with fleshed out, well-balanced rules on these basic things.
>>96800366More like /tarded. You dumb nogames.
>>96794073>>makes less than 20 dollars an hourWell excuse me
>>96794572> Y-y-you guys are ch-chuds!!! Le trans people are loved and heckin' valid!picrel is what you people play when you pick up your 5e manual (assuming you even play)
>>96794939At first, I thought s/he was a woman, s/he could really pull off the female voice. The game was set in GoT world with a few added continents like Joseon (Korea) and other stuff. One of the NPC was a time traveler who brought a bike along. I found it weird that she would pay so much attention to sex mechanics. You could either roll for sex (if you failed you could cause tearing) or simply describe what you did in order to stimulate your partner (s/he gave the example of mentioning sucking on an NPCs labia to make her wet and thus more lubed up) to prevent tearing. Now I'm Argentinian and s/he's a Spaniard, and s/he made a comment about how we have big dicks (we do,in case you're wondering). At some point s/he mentoned she was a post-op trans and it all made sense. I ended up ghosting them.
>>96799698Sorry fag your people shoved your politics and fetishes into a normal game. People are just reacting to your invasion.
>>96790902a DM who thinks players are capable of any sort of independent though, thats a big one for me.
>>96800180Associates degree > Phd candidates
>>96802082I actually prefer 3.5 and BX 5e sucks lol>>96802137Oh no, a single paragraph saying it's okay to go against in-universe norms! The west has fallen! And it's TOTALLY unique to the left to do stuff like that. We noble conservatives would never!
>>96802184>piclmao did rightoids really put shit like that in their games?
>>96802193way less than the leftist political cringe boilerplate, though equally retarded
>>96803085>though equally retardedrightists>this books is kind of biased. if you don't agree, please don't buy it. leftists>ARE YOU A CHUD? NO PASSARAN>YOU HEARD ME. WE DON'T WANT POS LIKE YOU INFESTING OUR HOBBY. >GAMING IS ALL-INCLUSIVE BUT WE CAN'T TOLERATE INTOLERANCE. SO KILL YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T AGREE>BLM. TRANSFOLX MATTER. EAT THE RICH. TUCK FRUMP
>>96803378sorry, feeling a need to shove your garbage politics into a context where they're irrelevant is maximal retardation either way, none can be worse than the other
>>96790902Everyone ITTYou niggas are socially autistic and unlikable. I hope I don't get to meet anyone here irl.
>>96803430everything is political, leftists told me so
>>96802184Considering how Jaquays ended up, this passage is really funny.
>>96790902>GM doesn't own his own homeThat's not a meme, it's how I truly feel. How am I supposed to accept you as the master of the game if you're not even the master of your house? >Players have no fashion senseIt's not that hard to get a style guide on a budget. You can never go wrong in life dressing business casual. I've seen people that think they're still in high school at the table. There's no excuse not to level up taste. >Political topics are forbidden That doesn't mean arguing about them at the table which is cringe. I mean exploring them in game which is based and adds life to interactions. A topic as simple as slavery has become forbidden ground for many and that's terrible.
>>96790902>Tokyo Ghoul game>Told GM that my character has a loving family in his backstory>Also explicitely told him OOC that I want nothing bad happening to them>GM has every family member brutally murdered, except for two>The one that I liked the most and the one that I liked the least>The one that I liked the least was maimed and out of commission, but his life wasn't in danger>The one that I liked the most was on the verge of death and needed immediate treatment>We were in a medical facility and my character has medical knowledge, so I roll>Got a critical success, in our game (not D&D) it's an automatic win as well as results above and beyond normal>"Actually anon, nothing you can do seems to be working, to succeed you will have to let a party member do it for you.">The other two players are playing psychos. One is commited to the bit (and has no medicine skills) so she does nothing. The other hates me irl>The guy who hates me irl intentionally fumbles his roll>The relative that I liked dies>After the game ended I told GM that if he ever pulls that shit again I'm quitting his gameI'm not at his table anymore. Dude has an habit of alienating everyone, and because I am friends with everyone and didn't decided to break years long friendship, he decided to ghost me.I'm pretty sure I told this story before
>>96802110The tranny sounds like a... DILATEANT amirite???
>>96806245Everyone here is terrible.>YouFor bitching about your imaginary people being imaginarily attacked in your imagination>GMFor doing this unnecessary shit presumably with no significance to the game, and making you fail what should've been an exceptional success>Other playersFor not helping you, when you should all be on each other's side and working together
>>96803378It looks like the retardation here is you
>>96806313>For bitching about your imaginary people being imaginarily attacked in your imaginationLook, we're all people playing a game to have fun. We're in a game where each of us has stories that they would like to see play and being involved with, so that's why we put some work behind each character instead of just being a class+race rolling dice and nothing else... or writing novels in our own corners. I left a single instruction and I made it clear to the GM concerning the backstory of my character. Going against it, and furthermore, going the step further of making it impossible for me to do anything against it is just egoistical and pure retardation. Especially when he's aware that one of the players hates me irl and would fail the dice roll out of spite.It's like if a player has an aversion of gore and extreme violence and the GM agreed that he won't do anything like that, and then not long after he describes a bloody scene during the game with mangled body parts and all the gory details.
>>96806245>GM has every family member brutally murdered, except for twoYou should've quit exactly then.
>>96806753I did consider it, but we were friends for many years and even if he raised some red flags before I wasn't totally convinced if I should quit or not. I was with that group for a long time and we did many fun campaigns that lasted over a year each. Plus after I gave him the stern that to never pull off that bullshit again he took it to heart.I told him if he does it again, I'll just play in the future murder-hobos with no backstory that will intentionally sink any narrative that he has crafted and lock every game into the worst bad-end scenario. I don't think that threat was necessary, but I was pissed off and needed to vent my frustration.Also the player that hates me irl... at the time I didn't know he hated me. The guy pretended to be my friend for years, and tried to gaslight the other players and GM to hate me and blame everything bad on me. It's once that the group split up that some of the other players revealed the truth to me. Really was a punch to my guts that someone I spend years with, went to my house multiple times and ate at my table, actually hated my face and was doing his best to ruin my fun all while putting on a smile and playing along as a good friend.
>>96806245When you hand over the backstory, the NPCs are in the GM's hands, so that waives any right to decide what happens to them.That said, its a dick move on the GM to not allow a "good ending" where you were able to save everyone.
>>96806730>It's like if a player has an aversion of gore and extreme violenceThis is also a red flag. Don't play with sissies, including you.
you all exclusively play your games on the internet with random people, don't you? none of you have ever actually played on a table, have you?
>>96792759I'm not in need of a group because I'm playing a game of Werewolf and D&D 3.5 at the moment. I just called someone a faggot in Werewolf last night, no repercussions because we're all adults.
>>96806864>When you hand over the backstory, the NPCs are in the GM's hands, so that waives any right to decide what happens to them.That I agree, but we're still people playing with each other. If there are some forbidden themes you don't want to go through, the GM can either:1) Agree and not play those themes so everyone can have fun2) Disagree but ask if you still want to play the game3) Disagree and ask you to change things in your bg so you won't encounter those themesAnd even then I think the shock would have been lessened if at least he let some of them live (not counting the guy I said I liked the least). Especially those I liked the most that I've written on the notes I handed to him.>>96806958Why? I've played with someone like that recently and she was quite a good player. In many ways better than I am.>>96807022I have mostly played live at a table. Though I recently joined games online for whenever my D&D sessions with my friends is canceled. I gotta say, I was apprehensive with all horror stories I've heard on this site but so far I got good people twice.
>>96794073>>DM that runs game with a laptop on at all timesCare to elaborate? Also that's where I keep my notes, which is the point above this one lol
>>96807079When it comes to forbidden themes, session 0 should have handled that. In your case, it seems like the GM wanted the shock value I'd imagine the deaths were described in detail and may have involved some torture.>>96807022Its easier to get a game going with randos who want to play and online than it would be to convince friends to play and meet at a specific destination.
>>96807079>sheFirst of all, women don't play games.Second of all, "she" will never be a woman. A sissy is not a woman, it's a small, feminine, limp-dicked man who's testosterone has been replaced with onions protein isolate.Third, don't be a sissy and don't allow them at your table.
>>96807514>When it comes to forbidden themes, session 0 should have handled that.The game was a two parter, so we had two session 0. Believe it or not, but losing family members quite graphically with nothing you can do about it never came up.To be fair, the first game we initially started as ghoul hunters who notoriously have no family since they were probably already dead. The second everyone but me was a psycho and probably never wrote about any family.Spot on for the shock value though.
>>96807763>t. faggot too retarded to play any tabletop game.
>>96807763I have years of experience playing with REAL women live at the table. Nothing distinctive between genders as far as I can tell, but those who are the gf of the GM, coworkers of the GM, or the latter about to become the former tend to not engage with the game much. Even the friends of those.Those who genuinely want to be there and have fun however are like any other player, and a real treat to play with.
>>96791011Based
>>96791011>Playing with men who play as womenUnironically this. Maybe like 5% could do it properly, but the vast majority it's closet trans or "playing my waifu" neither of which I want to get into.
>>96807951>I have years of experience playing with REAL women live at the tableStop making up stories, Anon. Those were just crossdressers. Women do not play games and as far as I'm concerned, women don't even exist.
>>96790902GMs>Allows options in theory just to disallow them in practice (yes you can use a gun, no you can't find, buy, or make ammo anywhere)>Too focused on NPCs, showing them off as though we're the side characters and they're the main character>Self insert NPCs>Will not make decisions on the spot, will spend an hour scouring the rulebook, errata, and reddit posts instead of making a decisionPlayers>Men playing women>Just an absolute brainlet who cannot grasp basic core rules after 1-4 sessions>LOLSORANDUM or generally doesn't fit the theme of the campaign (woodland critters game and one guy is coldsteel the hedgehog)Really it. If you're a player just don't be a retard and if you're a GM focus on players and not NPCs and just make decisions. If you don't want a class or weapon or whatever forbid it.
>>96806864The GM should then said so instead of agreeing.
Campaign designed to absolutely railroad you through their shitty story>the building only has one entrance and no windows or places to climb it>ok, i guess i go through the door>you immediately see 20 guards, way too many to fight. they take you captive>can i escape>no, all 20 of them escort you to prison and they took all your stuff>what's prison like>the cell is solid brick walls and an iron door. you can't escape. you have to wait there until your trialRepeat ad infinitumUnbelievably boring to have any attempt at problem solving shut down because they're not creative enough to deal with it. I don't care if they softly push players back on track after a scene because they want to use the content they've prepped for, but within a scenario when you straight up tell me there's nothing I can do, what the fuck is the point in me even being there other than as a captive audience to listen to your story
>>96806245>>Tokyo Ghoul gameYou knew what you were signing up for. if only I'd been there too
>>96810096Ironically, I've had players ASK to go to prison and wait out until their trials.Inevitably, they're always found guilty and executed, but it hasn't stopped them from trying.
>>96810136Minus that one blip on the radar… all in all it was an amazing game.First campaign started as us being CCG investigators. We were in Spain around the time there was a lot of manifestations in the streets. My character was called Jesus Santana and what was particular about him is that he was the only investigator who wasn’t on board with killing all ghouls. Only the bad ones… because his childhood friend and love interest was a ghoul. Esmeralda Rosa.We were fighting an extremely strong ghoul terrorist group, and we fumbled the die rolls so hard that we immediately got captured and turned into half ghouls. My kagune was shaped like angel wings, and after a few games where we got captured and tortured, it evolved into becoming able to emit light. Like staring into the sun. Jesus eventually managed to take control of every ghoul gang in Spain and he was called the Dark Messiah.Second campaign was in Japan right around when Kaneki left the CCG. My character was called Shin if I remember right. He was basically a full ghoul version of X-23, with an extended family of other ghoul child soldiers and their “progenitors”. At first my character was supposed to be Touka’s half brother due to the CCG recovering her mother’s body and using her eggs. Turns out that Shin wasn’t half after all since the CCG also had her father (in our game still alive). Unfortunately he lost his adopted family, though in our game we also prevented things getting worse than in the main story due to absurdly good rolls. Jesus defeated campaign one bad guy turning into a dragon, and Shin kicked Furuta’s ass with Kaneki.
>>96792710>primary RPG interest outside of actually playing games is a podcast or stream (usually critrole, adventure zone, etc)As opposed to...what? Browsing wikis? Reading guidebooks you'll never use? Being here?
>>96792532It's not dickish to refuse to play with you.
>>96790902Both from a player and DM perspective, constant noise. Not like, subtle scene-setting stuff or random one-off shit either, but constant loud noises or annoying sounds that completely drown out anything else and just makes it hard to focus in general. Think kids constantly screaming and running around, as an example.
>>96803455Tranny
>>96810988>reading their RPG books>painting minis>drawing their character/party>sharing stories with other RPG players>running games of their ownIf their only vector into the hobby is being a fan of a podcast, then they aren't likely to be a good player. They care about the act of emulating their favorite e-celebs rather than enjoying the game for what it actually is.
>>96792982They don't deserve anything nice in life
>>96806864>When you hand over the backstory, the NPCs are in the GM's hands, so that waives any right to decide what happens to them.Well that's fine but if he is sadistic to my NPCs im slashin those tires, I checked out the license plate on his gay-ass electric car

>>96791011>Playing with men who play as womenTwo of my favorite characters were women. A female commissar who honestly just acted like a normal commissar, and a promethean who’s story is too complicated to really get into on here. I don’t think playing a female character is bad necessarily but can be a red flag.>>96790902Here are ones I’ve noticed>Vegan>Female>Septum piercings>Nazi imagery on their possessions>Indian accent
>>96812224>plays a female charactergay>doesn't use her to coomfake
>gm shows up with the official books for the game
>>96791163I do this and yeah, people will get slightly ahead, but I treat it as solo grinding in a multiplayer game. Knowing things as well. I've got another guy that asks me a ton of questions every week because it's got a fair bit of homebrew, trying to understand how I'd rule things and where he can get things. Not my problem if someone wants to play more.Making people super important to the plot is faggy though. That's the only red flag I see.
>>96792759As much as I'd like to drop some of my sessions with too many normalfags to play with autistic chuds instead, I don't feel like rerolling.
>>96794073I've got>anime profile picture i havent changed in ten years>like dark soulsWhy is hating Game of Thrones a red flag?>says sword and board>says "ill allow it" as DM>fudge rolls openly to save time>think I've allowed a pass when it was 1 awayWhat the fuck is reverse metagaming?>usually give fuck all for visuals unless asked but i should have an image for most things i consider important>wank powerful factions Why the fuck wouldn't you use a laptop?I was willing to accept most of those but the laptop thing marks you as an autistic retard.
>>96790902>"I do [extremely basic task]>"Ok, roll for it"
>>96792948>>96792982>>96792995fucking tourists leave
>>96807123NTA but there's nothing more disconnecting than watching someone scroll through their character sheet on a giant laptop with a loudass graphics card fan so they can add up 4+7Goes for players and DMs. I know that post is mostly a joke but the laptop DM shit is real. I've never had a good DM run a game from their laptop.
>>96806245Reading your replies, you're a retard for trusting him and a double retard for not quitting when it happened.I don't know why people stick with faggot DMs. My brother bitches to me constantly about his shitty autistic DM that he only met this year or something. It sounds so unreal.
>>96807022I've played with my wife next to me with her internet friends if that counts.No point looking for a real life group and deal with equally undesirable people when I can dig through a decade and a half of edgy internet friends I've cultivated or even roll20.
>>96810096Watched a friend playing when I was at his house and this more or less happened to his party. Talked him into quitting and now he's a retard in one of my groups, wonderful.
1. Not building your character with respect to the implicit conceits of the setting.>Go back, do it again2. Tonal complaints>My table, my house, I decide what is appropriate here3. Cannot put down phone>You will be targeted by monsters until you start paying attention4. Distracting others from the game >I will quietly take you to one side and tell you not to come back4. Being a woke retard of any stripe>You never even got through the door; I smelt you coming and pre-emptively disbarred you
>>96791011I'm playing an out-of-time female PC because I don't think the some in the party could have handled, as much as they said they could, a male PC espousing 19th century period accurate ideas on how the world and people work. It comes off as more "quaint" and softer from her somehow.
>>96821344Been here since 2013, try again.
>>96821962Ok, but I can tell you aren't playing a toothless poorhouse doxy, with a walking catalog of sexually transmitted diseases, who is dying of rot-crotch at the ripe old age of thirty-three, and just wants to crawl into a bottle of gin and die.Otherwise it would be far more upsetting.
>>96790902Any kind of contrarianism. Dead or low magic world? He just has to be the very last wizard. Elf PC in the group? His character is racist against elves and he's -just playing his character-. Normie or geek with normie energy. Despite what the suits at Hasbro think, normies don't belong in TTRPGs. Normies think it's lame to actually care about anything so they dole out measured disinterest, purposefully try to break tension with inappropriate jokes, and otherwise undermine games from within like termites. MMO/WoW jargon like "build". Podcast/forum warrior who hasn't actually played IRL before. I guarantee they'll get mad and quit when the game doesn't live up to the idealized idea of gaming they've conjured in their head over the years.
>>96822344You have a twisted idea of what the 19th century was like.
>>96790902Me hosting a session only for the entire table to ghost me.Yes, it happened. I left the group soon after.
>>96794120>yet chooses to post on the most polar opposite place imaginable.
>>96822223>2013>Not a touristLOL. Great bait.
>>96802184>paul trooned out laterDamn shame.
>>96790902>GM wont swallow my cum and make ahegao faceBiggest red flag I've ever come across and quite common to spot in the wild. I blame the woke lefties invading our hobby
>>96791011you trannies are so funny
I'm a man who plays female charsAMA
>>96807970On stupid and fail.
>>96808116You being too retarded to play tabletop games does not mean someone is making up stories about the hobby.
>>96797361Good one. I'd personally add about three personal rules:>Doesn't get that words can mean different things in the different settings, especially when it comes down to the fantasy concepts.You know the type, "it's not a dragon, it's a wyvern" and "it's not a wizard, it's a sorcerer" type of guys who learned the term once and decided to spent rest of their life arguing that it should be universal, inviolable constant of the language.>Plays different versions of the same guy regardless of the setting.I mean... I can tolerate it to a degree, but it gets a bit boring when all guy's characters are copies of the same OC.>Unironically tries to force the memes into the game.This goes double for the game specific memes, especially stuff like "nat 20 lets me do anything", "orkz can do anything they believe in", etc.
>>96822555>purposefully try to break tension with inappropriate jokes, and otherwise undermine games from within like termites.Yeah, which never happened in the wold times. Like could you imagine games descending into Monty Python references? Good god. That would be so inappropriate and that just didn't happened before the "normies" showed up.
>>96794073I got 10ish, how did other people do?
>>96826858AYRT here, you're likely okay, depending what political argument caused you to be estranged from your family, and if you stopped having the anime profile pic. And no, Sword and Board became a gay fucking reddit phrase that people started using more and more, it's just stupid overly quirky and gay and shows that you're part of the reddit faggot demographic.
>>96794073No on everything. Based list. No, I don't want to play your game
>>96826760that shit ruined games too
>>96827127I've never been to reddit. I heard it in the mid 2000s from my DM.>depending what political argument caused you to be estranged from your familyWe still talk but they're pissed off I didn't support the voice in Australia. Literally giving aboriginals their own government council.>Stop having the anime profile picNo, pic related has been my avatar since the anime came out and it's iconic now
