Ever tried to teach your players anything through games?
No.
>>97729873What fucking for? Other than being an insufferable cunt, of course?
>>97729873Most people here can't even teach the rules of the games they're trying to play.
>>97729873Nah, the closest I get is actively trying to get them to cry at the climax of the campaign to prove they felt something real.
>>97729873How to do basic math
Common sense and humility.
Racism
Financial responsibility.
>>97729873I've turned all my players into misogynists by making every female NPC a scheming, evil witch
>>97729873I taught them about the power of friendship. And gangrape.
>>97729873You mean besides teaching them the game?Because I have had games with total noobs who had to be taught while playing. It's mildly annoying but not terrible in the games I have hosted that allowed noobs.Really would prefer if they read the basics and how their character works before the session though.

>>97729873no, I just make puzzles that I find neat. like a 4d labyrinth or some puzzle within a puzzle bullshit
>>97729873I rip off and mash together historical events a lot so I tend to talk about whatever the inspiration was after the game when we're eating and hanging out a bit. So they probably learn bits and pieces of history. I've taught some of them wargames over the years if that counts, and a few of them how to paint via wargames to the point they're significantly better at it than I will ever be and they really like that part.
>>97729873They've just about figured out addition, Next month I hope to move on to subtraction.
>Make own system in modern setting>Run it with friends>They ask about weapons, armour, vehicles, explosives>Sperg about /k/ shit>They now know how plate carriers work
>>97729873>Ever tried to teach your players anything through games?Yes,differential equations...
>>97752295I started running a modern setting game (using SWADE) and the campaign started with my friends thinking Assault Weapons were a real class of gun, didn't know the difference between an SMG, an Assault Rifle, and a Battle Rifle, and didn't even know what a PDW was at all.They now know.And they really like the cute anime girl gunsmith that sperged out on them in game about it.
>>97729873Have a plan to kill everyone you meet
I was a big x-phile a while back; never seriously, just for entertainment, but I did 'lore dump' via scenarios and handouts for same. Cryptids, aliens, toe-dipping into the occult, anything really. It was a conspiracy themed campaign naturally, so all in all it was some of the easiest game prep I've ever had.
>>97729873Common sense, but I failed.
