My PCs specifically respect authority and aspire to nobility whenever possible, specifically to piss off contrarian players.Whenever possible, I consider nobles as the highest form of life. Both because it helps move the plot along, and makes other players squirm.
You would be delight to GM for.
>>98282642Yeah, generally I like to work with the DM whenever possible instead of going on odd tangents. The real meta is dragging the retards over the finish line.
>>98282621>squirmOkay new TQ anons, why do trolls love to use this word in their bait posts? My theory is this: Because it compares the strawmen they construct in their fake scenarios to worms. Therefore comparing any reasonable person who disagrees with them as low and slimey things that are categorically gross and subhuman.Or perhaps, more interestingly, because they themselves know they are worms, trapped in the dirt of the internet, perpetually devouring the very dirt they produced as feces not even a day ago. Endlessly recycling the same slop over and over again, desperate to feel the little tingle in the backs of their heads trolling once gave them. I smell the desperation in your sweat OP, your joy in this will be fleeting and shallow at best. Whatever meagre joy you feel will be as nourishing as hard tack, which has been eaten through by the worms you evoke in your in-eloquent condescension. Go and find god.
That's neat.My current PC hates nobles on a primal level despite having been one and currently adventuring with one, and has made it an open secret that he plans on eradicating all the current nobility including the entirety of his fellow party member's family.He's also been built so that if he expends almost all of his daily abilities, he can effectively guarantee that any creature he deems should die will die, regardless of how well protected they are. So, while he's rather unexciting in ordinary combat, he could annihilate any boss-type enemy in a single nova turn (though I've kept that as a semi-secret since it's not been neccesary to do yet) while also making him a lethal threat to literally every single NPC noble we meet unless he was bound, gagged, and unconscious for good measure.This makes the DM a little uncomfortable, because I've killed important NPCs with pure luck in the past in other campaigns, and this character has nearly eliminated even the need for luck. I'm a more mature player now and I don't plan on flipping the table on the campaign just for kicks, but I also don't act like I should be afraid of anyone while having the confidence that everyone should be afraid of me.
>>98282621How did your last session go? What system? Care to post character sheet?
>>98282768Why does he hate nobles so much?
>>98282621>aspire to aristocracy Immersion breaking. Nobility is in the blood, not something you can aspire to be. Best you can "aspire" to be in a wealthy member of the yeomanry
>>98283249Probably a hundred different reasons.His noble family had long since degenerated into a cult trying to resurrect a long-dead empire but with itself in charge, and he was raised to believe in the superiority of his own blood, even above the blood of other nobles. But, when his grandfather tried to gather other noble families around him, his grandfather was betrayed and almost the entirety of his family was killed, with only a handful remaining and forced into hiding.Having to re-evaluate everything my character had been taught, he had to come to terms with his all-but-extinct family not having been innately superior, and that all nobility must therefore also be a lie. When faced with the inequality that nobles created and maintained, combined with many of them having personally betrayed his family, and still trying to figure out what his place in the world was after having lost the path his grandfather had been raising him towards, the only conclusion he could reach is that his personal superiority came from a force more powerful than nobility, and his role may be to try and use that greater force to cleanse the world of the disease of nobility.He's basically dealing with family-induced megalomania that convinced him he would one day be an emperor, with the power to slay any individual he might face, forced to live in a world where his true name must be kept hidden because the nobles in power would never fight him in the manner he considers fair.Throw in that every encounter with a noble in the game so far has been at minimum unpleasant, and he's really just waiting for the right moment to explode one of them as a way to light the powderkeg of revolution.
>>98282621I want to win the countess of wiessenlands heart for her and not her lands.
>>98283216Ah no answer because no games.
>>98282621One less person to split the loot with then, and an easy distraction to leave behind when the GM forces you to make a new PC that fits with the group or boots you from the table for being That Guy
>>98282665> The real meta is dragging the retards over the finish line.
>>98283281Unless you're playing an inherently anti-feudal game like D&D. Especially older editions or OSR games with domain level play where characters are guaranteed status when they reach a high enough level.
>>98282621>I want to make people squirm and piss them off>but THEY'RE the contrariansno wonder you love aristocracy, you drooling fuckup moron, you have the IQ of a Kardashian fan.
>>98282665Having a group that works with the gm and each other without hiccups, to the point that it's truly collaborative, is honestly better than sex.
>>98282621why do you have to act as a bitch-ass reactionary instead of just playing a royalist character because its interesting?it always has to be a "gotcha" to other players and not a way to make someone interesting
>>98282758I’m not even the OP and I felt that.How do I fix myself now?>>98283630It isn’t just lads like OP.Practically everyone is trying to do a subversion character that stands out. We’re probably at the point where making a character look like a background npc will make said character very unique. Or we’ve been stuck in there for a decade or more.
>>98282621>pedo artist
>>98283806>Practically everyone is trying to do a subversion character that stands outPeople like to stand outEven the people who want to make generic characters to fit in do so with the intent to stand out from other playersBut people act like this desire to be noticed is some immoral or immature act and not some inherent part of human nature
>>98282621Based
>>98283829It is true that people like to stand out. After reading your post I think maybe the problem with trying to stand out is that it is done so at the cost of one’s dignity through trying to be unique at the expense or their dignity or the comfort of their peers.But in the context of ttrpgs a lot of people make their characters stand out like a billboard advertisement in the middle of despoiled natural land if that makes sense.This sort of way people always make their characters stand out may have contributed to the concept of “freakshit.”
>>98283467Sounds incredibly based but also his story ought to climax with either apotheosis or mental breakdown
>>98282621>plotOh you play shit theatre kid games lmao almost took you seriously.
>>98283874How do you play a game without a plot?Thats pretty much just a boardgameHell, most boardgames have plots
>>98282621>>98283216I also wanna know.This OP post seems to be fabriacted to be emotionally gratifying for the average /tg/ chud who yells at clouds.
>>98283845>After reading your post I think maybe the problem with trying to stand out is that it is done so at the cost of one’s dignity through trying to be unique at the expense or their dignity or the comfort of their peers.i dont think anyones dignity or comfort is being affected by a guy who wants to play as something other than a generic town guard
>>98282758>an ancient troll stirs beneath youBecause "squirm" sounds gross. Like "moist". It's not that deep senpai.>returns to century of slumber beneath the earth
>>98283938Guys who play as town guards being known as arbiters of dignity and comfort of course
>>98283806Oh shit, wow okay I guess that one had splash damage. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t have any magic elixir, OP. The best thing I can recommend is reduce your exposure to the toxic parts of the internet as much as you can. Total severance from everything’s not helpful or realistic, don’t let any of the con-men convince you otherwise. As for what to do instead, honestly what I do is read. Whenever I feel the urge to troll or doomscroll, I just crack open a book instead. Like an actual physical book. Thrift books is great for this, just grab some cheap paperbacks that are fun for you to read. Not philosophy, not self-help books, fiction that’s fun for YOU. The point is to replace your brain’s current default fun activity with a different one, going with philosophy or self-help books will just reduce the amount of fun in your life, and you won’t be able to stick to it. So just, read something fun, and if you don’t know what you’d have fun reading, then I guess you get to discover what you really enjoy. Godspeed, anon. >>98283984Not that deep? Things are only as deep as we want them to be. Deepness is the function by which we map our own souls upon the words of others, to deepen our own understanding of our souls and also this world we move through. Deepness is not a sin, no matter how pretentious the fancy word vomit of those insufferable ‘media literacy’ types becomes. Don’t anesthetize yourself to your own soul just to spite some metrosexual faggots who won’t live past 40. The pain of witnessing yourself is fleeting, and once you learn how to see yourself with grace and charity (because it’s a SKILL, not a personality trait), your life will be much better. Believe me, that’s personal experience.
>>98282621Good for you, storyfag.My games don't include any authority figures or nobility, because they take place in the dungeons and ruins peppering the wilderness. And because my games' lore are built into each work, "moving the plot along" is emergent from each challenge the heroes overcome, not from hours and hours of exposition and retarded voices.
>>98283812Damn, that's one mature-looking child.
>>98283918>chud>>>/lgbt/>>>/pol/
>>98283984Moist isn't gross, only retards who don't know words think it's gross."Damp" and "dank" are a lot more gross.
>>98284656>he doesnt have a king interested in magic treasure at the bottom of the dungeon to provide a reason for the party to go down therewhy dont you just play a board game?
>>98283281I can get knighted, can't I? Alternatively, I could found my own kingdom and name myself king. Or I could marry into nobility. Or forge documents.
>>98284696>a retard making a shitty voice for a king for an hour is "providing a reason" to play the game, instead of just playing the game because the game is funWhy don't you just listen to an audiobook then?
>>98283938You are reducing your own dignity by being an obtuse shitbag.
>>98284805>, instead of just playing the game because the game is funletting the players talk to the king is playing the game and its part of the funits literally been there since the BX days
>>98283938Fair enough. I was tired when I was making the post you replied to.
>>98284672If you think chud originated from these places then you're the tourist you wish I were.Now, answer the question:How did your last session go? What system? Care to post character sheet?
>>98282621PCs gravitate towards playing nobles.
>>98284820Listening to retard voices for hours on end isn't fun, no matter how long it's been there. It's always been a slog, and brings games to a stand-still.
>>98285127so, you just play board games then?
>>98285127This is just proof you're a nogames if you think playing the role of your character is "retard voices". This isn't your hobby, so go back to /v/.
>>98283216bot post
good goy
>>98284680Damp and dank are good ones too. Musk was a good one before... well you know
>all these angry replies proving OP correct that a certain kind of people just hate nobility because of scathing envy making them squirm
>>98282621I personally won't go that far but my PCs typically respect nobility and authority.
Emmanuelle by Mossacannibalis if you all wanted to know, by the way.
>>98282768The local lord's network of informants has already tipped him off to your character's strengths, weaknesses, and wicked ambitions.
>>98283918>>98284872>erm did you know C.H.U.D. actually originated somewhere totally unrelated to the places you told me to go back to, even though I just used it in the exact manner those places popularised, chud?!>heh checkmateWon't be long now.
Mossa’s girls look like they smell bad.
>>98285316They hold unearned positions of power, and are weak, pathetic cowards hiding from the truly strong. Your average noble would get absolutely mauled by your average adventurer. >>98285962Too bad they can't do anything about it because they're a commoner in terms of stats.
>>98286520>proving my point>assuming things about a fantasy settingNo shit you marxists are unable to create fantasy worlds and always fall back to quirky chungus California style world building, all while trying to destroy all the other fiction and non-fiction around you to prop yourself up on their bones.
>>98286620>If you hate oppressive power structures you have to be LE MARXIST!You're no different than they are. Both of you want an authoritarian nightmare state. They want The Party you want a Furher. I, on the other hand, want neither.And if nobility in a fantasy setting isn't limited to highborn or """divinely chosen""" people, then it's not nobility, it's oligarchy which is just as evil.
>>98286852>a fantasy setting can be whatever you want>retard still makes the power structure oppressiveNot fighting the Marxist allegations very well, are you?
>>98286890Remember, they don't believe in non-political spaces.Therefore anything that doesn't cup the balls and rim the pucker of their gaylord prophet and his retarded ideology is against it and thus evil.
>>98282621Okay. By the way, the nobility of the setting are not even human.
>>98287050So you're saying...they're a higher form of life?
