Let's play the hits.

>Constantly pings the group about new systems and games coming out.
>Catagorically refuses to learn any of those systems when given the opportunity and only ever plays 5e/5e-like systems.

>Minmaxes the fuck out of every character
>Bitches that nobody else pulls their weight in combat.

>Makes an asshole character.
>Intentionally fucks up the parties plan.
>"But it's what the character would do!"
>Bitches when his character gets kicked out of the party and is forced to make a new one.

>Makes a character based on a video game/anime
>Constantly tries to do stuff that's absolutely not in the rules of the game.
>"But the character in the anime/game can do it!"

>"I am not being the main character!"
>Takes over every single talking encounter and refuses to let any other character get a word in edgeways.

Any new "That Guys" you had to deal with recently?
>>
That guys don’t exist in person they just exist online I have never met a chud or asshole in person outside of a person can’t shower

One that happened recently along the lines of that first one that happened to me:

>Insists on everyone playing this one system.
>Constantly pokes and prods the group to play it.
>One guy finally agree's to run it.
>Constantly pokes the group to make sure they are ready to play.
>We all sit down to play.
>That Guy makes a character who's schtick is that he REALLY doesn't want to be here.
>Constantly has to be dragged on the adventure by the party.
>His character constantly wants to go home.
>His character is essentially "Guy who's far too above this whimsicle bullshit."
>Barely contributes to the RP
>Has to be constantly prompted to roll
>Spends the session scrolling on his phone and barely paying attention.

Why?

No, my group's good.

I don't understand why murdering people in an RPG is so looked down upon. It makes me antsy to even attempt a rape.

Depends on the setting. CoC or WoD or maybe even Cyberpunk it kinda fits the setting, but at the same time, you need to remember that the average human being is HIGHLY aversed to rape and you will find your ass getting kicked A LOT.

In my experience I have to do this otherwise they pissfart around for 20 minutes

>>97750640
chuds or assholes are not your problem when it comes to that guy, you truly have no idea how bad of a person this hobby can attract at times
>>
>>97750653
What system?
>>97751321
Murderhobos are overgrown toddlers who never got past the testing what they can get away with stage.

e20 My Little Pony. I am not a fan of MLP, but i'm the kind of player who's up for, literally, anything.

>uses words on the sole basis that he hears others smarter than himself use
>except he blatantly misuses them

>says he's going to run a game known for exploring and fighting
>bitches that his players build characters that can survive exploration and combat
>spends hours on and encourages not playing the game

>gets uppity when players don't roleplay according to his single correct way

>makes a character based on comic/history/literature/movie/tv show
>constantly tries to do stuff that's absolutely not in the rules of the game
>"but the character in the [other media] can do it!"

>claims to play and run games
>hates to actually play or run them, because he constantly fudges things either in his own favor, for nepotism, or some "narrative" whim that isn't even narratively consistent

>claims to enjoy storytelling
>will choose a system full of ludonarrative dissonance, and run his plot full of holes, with contradictory characters, no through-lines between story beats, and vaguely according to whatever the last flavor of the week or "celebrated classic" he recently partook in
