Pretty sure you did. Please fuck off forever already.

What game?

>>98004331
Depends on the setting
>>
>he comes online and immediately starts shitposting in every thread
kek
>>
>>98004493
You missed your general.
>>
>>98004331
He isn't wrong.
Any question pertaining to TTRPGs will absolutely depend on the setting, and also on the game.
"How to kill a werewolf" has different answers even across the different editions of fucking D&D, for example.
If you have a question, name the setting and name the game, or fuck off. There's no such thing as setting agnostic or game-agnostic, no matter how many retarded faggots screech otherwise.
>>
>>98004687
>He isn't wrong.
He is completely wrong + kill yourself. General discussion is fine, especially now we have 900 "generals" on the board which we did not have in the past. Your attitude has completely choked the life from this board.
>>
non-topic/offtopic survey threads absolutely should be banned on sight. the board is deader every day because of the constant unchecked spam. posts labeling them so people can avoid them like this is a public service
>>
>>98004714
The board is deader every day because the response to literally every single thread is some variant of traditional games/what setting/what system/no games thread. The spam has never not been here, people just used to work with it.
>>
>>98004510
Post models.
>>
>>98004692
General discussion about a broad range of topics that can cover LITERALLY ANY KIND OF FICTION AT ALL cannot be given specific answers. If you do not understand this, you are not intelligent enough to be on this site, let alone be allowed to browse the internet unsupervised.
>>
>>98004747
The point is and always has been to have a discussion, not to secure one specific answer. Your position is even more bizarre now that we DO have setting and system specific threads in the general, which were never a feature of pre-catalog /tg/.
>>
>>98004352
reminds me of the Dark Tower.

(newfags won't get this)
>>
>>98004722
>REEEE PEOPLE KEEP TRYING TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC GAMES AND SETTINGS ON THE SPECIFIC GAMES AND SETTINGS BOARD
Whatever discussion you think you are entitled to on this board does not exist because that's not how traditional games work. If you just want to vague riff on fantasy cliches and tropes without committing to a specific context, this is not the board for that.
>>
>>98004692
>Your attitude has completely choked the life from this board.
No, that's puckee, Literary Lord, and the faggot mods who defend them.
That's the vocal minority of faggots who got quests pushed out to their own board.
That's the demoralizing party sent from WotC or other companies to tell homebrewers nobody cares about their creations, so as few people are detracted from their corporate slop as possible.
That's the governmental agents trying to get more people to go to /pol/ or Blackrock to push queer and racial inclusionary agendas.
That's the fucking retards from sharty, who, despite almost destroying 4chan entirely, still continue to rampage and turn the board against each other.
That's the posting bots, who ask questions but won't offer their own thoughts, and won't respond to anyone taking the time to legitimately answer, but will ironically give more discussion to people critical of them for damage control.

Go fuck yourself with a rusty rake, shitstain.
>>
>>98004755
>The point is and always has been to have a discussion
You can claim that, but when someone goes
>what are wizard chastity cages like in your setting????
Along with dozens of other vague iterations on that exact format of question, that is not a discussion. No discussion comes from extremely vague and SETTING DEPENDENT questions because there is nothing to discuss. The threads aren't being derailed by the meanies saying "it depends" because if there was anything to discuss, other anons would just keep replying and talking amongst themselves anyways. The sort of shit you're bitching about is so nonsensically retarded because it requires there to be a silent majority that wants to discuss nebulous bullshit with you, but they keep getting terrified into silence by someone posting
>what system?
>traditional games?
>kill yourself puckee
And it works 100% of the time, somehow, and forces retards like you to hurriedly make another vague thread about some general fantasy nonsense, which no one else will genuinely discuss either.
>>
>>98004761
lurk more newfag, or kill yourself, whatever is more convenient
>>
>>98004770
>That's the vocal minority of faggots who got quests pushed out to their own board
As usual, it's the questfag. Get over it already.
>>
>>98004761
People are perfectly entitled to talk about specific games and settings and we now have an infinite number of cancerous circlejerk generals in which they do so. People, even before these, have always been able to talk about specific games and settings. They have just also been able to talk about general games and settings and ideas until it became a prevalent discussion-choking meme to protest that here.
>>
>>98004781
You have always been able to ignore any thread you don't like. An ignored thread will die. The kind of person making wizard chastity cage threads will be so glad of even the negative attention of one of those responses they will just keep making them. You can clearly see nobody is "terrified into silence" by it just from the current board.

>>98004822
NTA but the only issue with quests was poor moderation.

>NTA but the only issue with quests was poor moderation.
Maybe, but not the point here. He's been on a quest for vengeance for years now.

>>98004830
The generals are about games, some of which have settings, which you'd know if you weren't a retard.
>>
>>98004842
>The kind of person making wizard chastity cage threads will be so glad of even the negative attention of one of those responses they will just keep making them.
They will continue making them one way or the other, because they're made by bots, which is why the mods never clean them up, but will show up to ban people who point out that shitty off-topic threads need to be removed.
>>
>>98004920
>my shitposting is banned!
Good. You should be fellating the mods day and night, considering some of you fuckers are so disruptive that any other community would have banned your ass permanently by now.

Your concession is accepted.
>>
>>98005055
I have no interest in the rest of your ramblings

Why do you guys get so mad over the fact you dont play games and then you get called out for it? Why even post on a board about games if you dont play any?
>>
>>98005097
Oh, is this the part where we dunk on the nogames? Post about your game. Models, character sheets, campaign notes. Don't forget the timestamp.
>>
>>98004722
we've been over this bumpfag. i DONT LIKE your threads. noone does. deadness is not a lack of engagement with your spam. if we wanted to talk, we would talk whatever the first post may say. deadness is people avoiding you.

>>98004692
He isn't. For example, advice applied to a supers setting would be incompatible with a low-magic fantasy setting. And all of that advice is, of course, useless without mechanics - hence why you need to know the system too.

You and your ilk are worthless shitposters looking for an excuse to argue over nothing because you don't run or play games, so you wouldn't even know the first thing about how a system affects the tone and themes of a game being run. Oh, but of course, you and your ilk are also the same retarded faggot who thinks that a TTRPG is just rolling dice and doing math and that the RP part is just using your character to act upon the world rather than that character actually being a character whose identity should inform your choices as a player.


>>98004714
This board is deader every day because 99.9% of the posters don't play games; myself and maybe 3 other posters I've seen post proof of their games aside, this board is full of the most nogames /pol/faggots ever.
>Inb4 the /pol/shitter posts his stupid wojak meme comic
/pol/ is not the heart of 4chan, /pol/ was never the heart of 4chan, /pol/ is a parasite created by a cannibal pedophile and anyone who defends that board's continued existence and refuses the idea of nuking anyone who posts /pol/shittery from the site with a range ban is advocating for child rape and cannibalism. If any board is the heart of the site, it would be pre-2012 /b/.
>>
>>98006230
Then you need to go to /lit/ instead you nogames faggot.

>>98006209
There are sadly systems that are generic, though they all suck massive cock because they're so obsessed with doing everything they don't do anything well.
>Inb4 GURPSfag
GURPS is a toolbox, not a TTRPG. You have to sit down and use the over 9000 splats to make a system from it (I know basic exists but it's more like basically useless), and at that point just make your own from the ground up to cater exactly to what you want instead of wasting your time with GURPS.
>>
>>98004934
Are you reporting their posts? If you don't report their post and just reply to them you're falling for it. They already have plenty of "traditional games?" Nuked in the archive meaning this backseat janny is bannable offense.
>>98006246
Because I want to use /tg/. I know that your mom let you fall off to a pool of liquid dogshit when you were little and that's why you think you're special, but nobody here gives a fuck about and you have told plenty of times by the native community of this place to fuck off. You get deleted, banned, reported and you're still here stirring shit. So why you just don't leave the fucking place once and for all, bitch?
>>
>>98006793
I'm the native community, retard. Not you. Leave or I'll kill you.

>>
>>98004822
>Antiquestfag STILL seething that his actions are viewed negatively by history
lol
>>
I've noticed that this subhuman also has the habit to, once called out, start repeating what you say to him. Like the other anon told him to kill himself and now he repeats it. That the fucking moderation don't ban a potential LLM bot that is just disruptive to the community means they don't give a fuck about this place except as a source of revenue to gook moot.
>>
>>98006961
What are you talking about? Nobody was told to kill themselves. Did you reply to the wrong thread?

This describes all magic, too.

It’s whatever the fuck.
>>
>>98006934
Why aren't you using /qst/ if you love quests so much? Why come here to bitch and do this historical revisionism shtick? I've never seen you once explain how you can believe quests were so beloved by all of /tg/ but the second they got their own board, a thing even many questfags wanted, quests died off and /tg/ kept going. It doesn't make sense. Without your imaginary group of quest-loving fa/tg/uys, /tg/ should have seen a precipitous drop in activity while /qst/ should have flourished. It didn't. Explain.

>>98007623
We've been discussing this stuff here for more than a decade anon, you guys can complain all you want about it, things are not going to change
>>
>>98007735
The last decade is maybe the worst one in 4chan's history, typified by an immense drop in quality and IQ. Shittier moderation, dumber users, and a near total eradication of the oldfag population necessitated the allowance of low quality "your setting" or "your character" threads, because otherwise, the mods would have to delete most of all threads made for being off-topic spam. However, idiots benefited from a new mod team that generally doesn't know shit about, nor even vaguely understand /tg/, and as long as the site looked active enough to be valuable to advertisers, Hiroyuki did not fucking care.

While backseat modding may be quite pathetic, what's far worse is being the kind of gormless faggot who would keep coming here to spam vapid, pointless threads, only so you can cry about how you're trying to have a real discussion about some vague fantasy bullshit. The users of /tg/ do not want to discuss your vapid bullshit, but you keep telling those same people that you are, for some inconceivable reason, demanding to talk at about things that those people keep shitposting at you about and telling you to fuck off over. 10 fucking years of this and you're still angry and still whining that it's /tg/'s fault that you keep coming here to make pointless threads?

Just open up a fucking AI chatbot of your choice and ask your stupid questions to your heart's content, and fuck off.
>>
>>98007835
You can go look at the board on 2012 in desu and see that these exact same one line generalistic threads led to repeated interesting discussion with the userbase of that era.

>>98007961
>I've been here for a decade!
>Did I say I decade? I meant since 2012!
>I'm an oldfag, really!
Point still stands. If the repeated response to your vague threads is dismissive shitposting, why do you bother to come back and demand the people who shitposted at you respond to your vague questions with specific answers? Explain yourself, retard.
>>
>>98008002
I'm not the anon you were previously talking to, I'm just pointing out that as far back as you can look in the archives we had the same sort of shit but people just ran with it instead of making stock responses.
>>
>>98008015
/tg/ used to be able to turn shit threads into genuine discussion on occasion, not always. That was not a sign that /tg/ genuinely enjoyed vague threads and repeated "tell me about [stupid bullshit] in your setting" threads, which were not common or normal back in the day.
>>
>>98008031
Spin it however you like, your shitposting is still shitposting
>>
>>98008002
>demand the people who shitposted at you respond to your vague questions with specific answers?
no one did that, we're telling you to stop shitposting if you have nothing else to say

People didnt spam the board in those days. People didnt try to harvest content for sloptube channels either. The commons have been tragedied. (You) tragedied the commons.

The prevalence of it changed. There is a difference between one stabbing per year per 10,000 people and 10,000 stabbings per year per 10,000 people.

There is a difference between threads being harvested and threads being CULTIVATED. this is no longer a site where people SHARE entertaining posts, its a site where people DEMAND entertaining posts and offer nothing in return. Thats you by the way.

I dont care. I get nothing out of it and its my time, so you can cry to the mods all you like, but banning me will just make the place even emptier. You want me to entertain you? either start sucking or do it yourself

There's still several stories posted around here, retard, several of them by me. There was a thread from one anon that played dark heresy a few days ago, it slid off right away because there was almost no engagement apart from mine. At least you didn't have the balls to shit that thread up I guess.
>DEMAND entertaining posts
No one does. And you would have a point if you guys stayed the fuck out after you see the thread has already begun rolling, either on topic or derailed, but no, you have idiots coming in after tens of posts to shit everything up regardless.
>Thats you by the way.
Baseless assumption and a good dose of paranoia and victim complex
>but people used to entertain me for free!
Who said that? I'm here to discuss things, something that can't be said about you. Feel free to prove me wrong.

You can waste your time without bothering everyone else.

Too many nogames. If OP doesn't mention a game or setting that means it's time to start shilling your own homebrews and opinions.

No, that means it's time to report and hide the thread, since it's not related to the topic of the board. Obviously.

>>98008391
What's off topic about asking how to do something in an RPG? Is it triggering your autism that they aren't saying "in a tabletop game" at the end of their sentence?
>>
>>98006246
I am a nogames faggot, but I almost never post on /tg/ because I almost never have anything to directly contribute, so I just lurk.

>Why don't you use lit?
I'll be honest, I forgot that place exists. Most of my interests for creating a good setting have a lot of overlap with /tg/ related material - I'm making a medieval fantasy RPG video game - so I didn't really consider trying to look elsewhere. Is /lit/ good for such things?
>>
>>98008418
Everytime someone mentions /lit/ is to say how shit it is, so I'd be willing to say no. Don't let the retards influence you, anon, keep lurking here, and feel free to post as well. Chances are they play less games than you anyway.

Keep coping, the ones telling you to fuck off already proved that they engage in the hobby more than you shitposters, the ball is in your court. You keep bragging about playing games, and all of you together can't produce one piece of proof. You are so allergic to talking about games that you can't even post about your own, but you spend your days complaining that no one talks about games. Completely idiotic.

You're hallucinating again. And for all your bluster about how you claim to play games, you've still refused to answer even the simplest questions about what you're actually playing. (You also still haven't posted a timestamp despite demanding it from someone else, but I'll let that slide since you and I both know that was just a failed attempt at diverting the conversation away from your inability to discuss anything /tg/-related.)

>>98010395
NTA but there are many threads on this board that people post in happily. Even when someone tries to derail them with "trad games?" Nothing happens and people continue talking. Do you know why? Because those threads actually have substance. Your threads arent just off topic, they are also empty, AI-equivalent slop. When this is pointed out you seethe infinitely and demand we bring forth content to your empty threads. How about instead of complaining about "in which setting?" And "traditional games?" You just continue to discuss things in the thread? Why are you unable to do so? Its because there is no substance to the thread, and because you dont play games. As such it is impossible for you to make that thread interesting enough for discussion.

TLDR: interesting threads will be discussed, empty threads will be shitposted. The solution is not making more empty threads

Yes, you might have not noticed, but the new shitposting wave is asking for model pics, that get ignored when provided, much like answers to what game and system is played, and on top of that the ones demanding pics never provide their own. So yeah, now the shitposters are asked to provide proof that they indeed engage in the hobby.
>your inability to discuss anything /tg/-related
Says who? I made threads, posted stories and shared PDFs, you guys can never point to one post you made to discuss anything in good faith. One would expect the ones so vocal about caring of content quality to be the ones providing some of the good one.

I did. >>98008347

>you guys can never point to one post you made to discuss anything in good faith
Because anyone who isn't a newfag understands that's not how anonymous imageboards work. I've got three threads up right now, see if you can guess which ones are mine.

Not really, but ok. Currently I play L5R mainly.

Exactly the point, fucktard-kun, so all this posturing about "real games" and posting models and all that that you fuckers started shitposting with is asinine, and the best part is that you started it without being able to live up to the standards you wanted to impose on others, and now you backtrack with a "uh, that's not how it's supposed to work"? Well good job looking like an idiot and wasting even more time I guess. (and I'm saying "you" as a stand in for others holding your same position, you being personally involved is not the point. If you are genuine, realize that you're sharing opinions with some real retards)
>I've got three threads up right now
Good, I trust you.
>see if you can guess which ones are mine
Not really interested in this to be honest, carry on.

>>98004755
no, the point is to make a lazy shitpost, i'm 100% okay with general discussions of /tg/ fluff that doesn't relate to any specific game, but asking for a specific answer where none exists is literally the opposite of how you need to go about creating such a conversation

there's enough nuance in the world for "traditional games???" faggots to be wrong while the "depends on the setting" chads are still right

>Not really, but ok. Currently I play L5R mainly.
See, was that so hard?

>you started it without being able to live up to the standards you wanted to impose on others
My "standards" are that anyone who's making a thread about something should be able to engage in discussion about it. Answering a single question is the lowest possible bar to clear and yet you still chose to spend multiple hours of your life throwing a fit at the idea of anyone being asked to contribute to their own thread.
>>
>>98010395
If you were actually discussing games, we wouldn't be having an argument about why your threads deserve to be here, instead of you seemingly arguing in favor of why /tg/ should be "/tg/ - tedious vague questions about non-specific fiction"
>>
>>98010549
All I'm hearing from you sounds like
>I show up into random threads that I don't want to contribute to, and don't actually care about at all, so I can try to glean a self-righteous high off loudly complaining and arguing with everyone for days, while no actual discussion, game-related or not, actually happens in the thread I was enough of a hypocritical faggot to defend. I do this endlessly and for no specific reason.
>>
>>98010646
But when the one asking gets an answer, he then contributes nothing anyway, so what would be the point? It's just posturing.
>>98011154
>your threads
Every time.
>>98011166
Well anon, get your ears checked.
>>
>>98004687
this
>>98004692
This isn't the generic fantasy / scifi writing board, despite of what the jannies and general populace here think.


yes, you're all wrong. deal with it. if it doesn't pertain to a specific TRADITIONAL GAME setting and system. it's worthless drivel.
>>
>>98011236
You clearly don't like it here anon, I would really suggest you find some other place.
>>
>>98011241
No. I get the resources here from the generals I need and post some stuff about the games I play there. When I browse the catalog and find a non-system specific thread that's still about traditional games (something like talking about dice systems, general rule design, class vs classess etc ) I participate while I tell para social faggots like you to just go on a discord to get your social needs met instead of trying to emulate idle chit chat on a board with a narrow and specific subject matter
>>
>>98011254
Not how the board works, but you do you
>>
>>98011264
Works well for me and anyone else who a actually engages with the hobby. while you're seething that people are tired of your desperate attempts to simulate talking to friends about things you enjoy that are not /tg/ related.
>>
>>98011279
Do you really imagine the ones engaging you to be raging, or is this another brand of sterile posturing to try to get under their skin?
Anyway keep leeching and lurking, anon, have a good day.
>>
>>98011306
I can tell when someone is butthurt, yes. And you're butthurt as fuck. Enough to reply to this post.
>inb4 not him but...
lol

At the end of the day, I always have a next weekly IRL session to look forward to while all you can do is make another thread asking people that look down on you questions like
>w-what would your character do in this situation?
to catch a glimpse of what actual play might feel like, nogames-kun.

Leeching off the actual experiences of gamers to fuel your fantasy of having a group... sad.
>>
>>98004822
I would have quests back in a heartbeat and still do not understand why they where kicked off. All it did was open the gates to spammers.
>>
>>98011327
>if you reply you are butthurt
Shall we apply the same logic to you, anon? How does this even make sense. And here you are arguing when you say that you don't come here for para social stuff. See what people are talking about? You would be taken more seriously if you proved you had some standards.
And do explain to me how engaging here precludes playing games, when as we established multiple times already, all the ones shitposting consistently failed to prove they play anything.
>>98011415
Didn't really follow the happenings at the time and I'm quite indifferent to them, but when at least one anon openly said that he keeps shitposting here because of that, I'm not sure it's the people we want.
>>
>>98010506
It isn't.
>>
>>98011226
>But when the one asking gets an answer, he then contributes nothing anyway, so what would be the point? It's just posturing.
Ah, I see. So what you're saying is that some posts are made by people who clearly have no intention of actually talking about anything, and you're not going to waste your time engaging with them.
>>
>>98011254
See that's the thing this spamming faggots never grasp: /tg/ does still have tons of game-oriented discussion. It's just in the generals where they feel like they pretend they are too good to use, but in actuality, it's because they know they cannot pull this "is your character circumcized??" shit in threads where people are actually talking about something on-topic. The generals exist specifically so there's a place someone can go right to for questions, news, and discussion about a certain game or setting. They're not great, but what thread on any board is?

So it's not fucking wonder that the people most loudly declaring their love of pointless threads have endless seething about the amount of generals that exist to keep them out.
>>
>>98012116
>and you're not going to waste your time engaging with them.
Instead of doing that, he's going to bitch at and about them as often as possible in as many threads as possible.
>>
>>98012315
You're kind of a dumb cunt.

Just straight up.

Generals are not supposed to be cages. They're not supposed to be "OH LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU" depositories. They're not supposed to be private hangouts or subreddits.

The original and only good purpose of generals is consolidating what would have otherwise been dozens of individual threads about particularly popular topics. All other questions, news, and discussion can and should be free flowing and part of a churning mess. That's how it was during the best years of /tg/.

Now, it's small cliques erecting walls and creating dead threads that just linger on this board. They're not making generals for popular topics that would threaten to overwhelm the board otherwise, they're making generals in a fake-it-till-you-make-it style that's created a culture that feels fake and artificial.

You have this weird shitty idea that discussion here has to be centered around a particular game for it to have meaning, and, frankly, that's an incredibly shallow manner of thinking that reveals what kind of retard you are.

Do everyone a favor, and shut the fuck up.
>>
>>98004331
Not sure if anybody else noticed butwe seem to be at all time low for puckee threads, so it looks like one stubborn autist might have actually succeeding in driving off the other.
Or just odd coincidence without causality...
>>
>>98012379
>generals are bad BECAUSE THEY JUST ARE
Nothing's stopping you from posting better things in them or making better threads. If you really want to discuss games, and not make excuses, you can just do that. You can just make threads about your favorite system and talk about it. If you want real discussion, you can just start one.

If you're only out there making threads to ask people if they have goth fashion, masculinity, or extremely broad and generalized tropey bullshit, you don't get to complain. You don't even get to have an opinion. You get to fuck off.
