My last guy was a semi-reformed ex-necromancer (human because i needed the feats). It would have been fun if the party had found out and started some drama, but it ended up being a 1950s NASA type of situation and i cruised under the radar for the whole campaign.

I don't think anyone calls characters like those reddit. Mainly because no one calls shit reddit anymore, but secondly because people only ever called that kind of humor reddit. Like the dialogue, jokes, etc. But the characters? They're basic as all fuck.

Oh the big guy is an idiot barbarian? Half elf rogue and ranger? Elf druid? The bard is a pervert?
How the fuck is that reddit, that's just dry and unoriginal. There's not a single tiefling to trigger the fags on this site. Get this guys, would it be reddit if my wizard had a beard and a pointy hat?
>>
>>98605176
My suggestion is a slaver who both roleplays and rollplays very well but is too taboo for most tables, a joke character who ruins immersion, an ultra-min-maxed character who both ruins immersion and forced the DM to change the setting such that a certain multiclass would be possible, a shapeshifting prostitute (original form unknown but the current form is from the MGE), and a homebrewed spellblade who casts spells by drawing his own blood.

Porn addict that genuinely needs help.
Anime fan that knows entirely too much anime lore and terminology, but is otherwise probably the most normie of the group.
Someone's dad that is entirely too old to be there with the rest of the group but won't let go of memory of the fun times they had when they were younger, brings up old memes no one else gets because they are 15-20 years out of date.

Reasonable takes. Then again, is that just the stereotype or what would be your typical guilty pleasures? I think I have a certain tendencey towards "Haughty Tactician / Thinker Type, with a little hint of irony about it, usually a mage or dex fighter" or "Strict & Harsh Inquisitor, Vigilante or Bounty Hounter" or "Dutiful Servant" or some kind of "Based Retard" Barbarian Type recently - and was for evil characters, they tend to end up a bit flamboyant.
>>98613180
Fair Point. I started the animated series with a buddy recently and I think the last time I had such a headache as in the first minutes, was with Dragon Age Absolution, though maybe it will get better than that. The druid girl is kina cute, though so far my main problem is, that everybody kinda wants to be the snarky vulgar sarcastic one, with the party lacking a clear straight man - pun intented.

My second thought on this was, that you would propably have actually funny banter, if you took replaced like one or two of the party with your typical 4chan character or atleast wrote them more fitting this sites humor.

I watched the first two episodes sober and didn't like it. I was not sober when I then watched the first two seasons. It wasn't nearly as bad the seasons after, mainly because the humor is toned down and the characters feel more grounded in their roles.

The newer show is much easier to get into even though some of the characters are more eccentric. But it does have THE tiefling who possibly inspired every bad tiefling player people on this board complain about seeing. She's not nearly as bad in the show and it's balanced because it's just the one class clown and not a party of class clowns.

You’re too self-conscious, and aware of genre convention on a meta-textual level rather than on an ingrained contextual one, to ever play any character that fits a classic AD&D book art style party. You will always come up with something straining for this but never reaching it, because it is meant to be effortless. Your modest but aspirational fantasy setting self-insert is poisoned by the understanding that “fantasy setting self-inserts” are a thing, and that you are aiming for it.

Socially maladjustes misfits that have esoteric knowledge that sounds absolutely insane but they have a tendency to be right about the darndest things. They wield weaponized autism and have an obsession with repeating digits. One minute they're on a quest to save the world, the nex they're hexing prostitutes into wearing shoes on their heads. Why? Nobody knows.

Their wisdom can be described as "imagine a hobo talking to himself, now imagine him actually being right"

No, I see the attitude of people who think they're somehow better than others because they've unhealthily fixated on some game, and realized that they're just the kind of losers who are bullied everywhere they go for having no redeeming qualities, and they try to repeat what's been done to them here under the idea that meeting the bare minimum of "playing games" warrants acting like elitist assholes to everyone while (almost always falesly) accusing them of not meeting that low bar.

If the kind of insult you reach for is "nogames" because you only happen to be one rung above that on the ladder, you're a sad little shit.

>The Cleric is constantly spouting his religious takes in conversations that didn't ask for it and chances are he's misquoting his verses anyway. His God doesn't talk to him and him and the Warlock are constantly arguing about Religion. They're both wrong

I was actually posting here since the first few days of this board.
I actually can pinpoint exactly when people like you went from a mere nuisance to invaders. It was 2016, when /pol/ literally tripled in size over the course of a few months.
Back then, /tg/ would routinely be plagued by raids from /pol/. Declared raids, with little anyone could do about them because the mods were overwhelmed and also the entire website was still going through a transitional period thanks to moot selling the site in 2015.

At no point should you imagine that you will ever be recognized as being a part of the board. Even if /tg/'s body becomes 51%+ tumor, you are still the cancer. Even if it's 90% parasite, you are still the worm.

Oh yeah, that's another big stereotype, the smug pragmatic practical tactical intelligent cool-headed smooth operator who constantly tries to use outside-the-box thinking to outsmart the GM and avoid actually risking their character in any shape or form.

There's not really a way to gauge what a "4chan party" would look like because 4chan doesn't have an easy, mindless approval button that enforces a culture on the site.
Reddit has upvotes and downvotes, so if you post your party on Reddit and someone else calls your party dogshit, whether or not your party can be considered "Reddit" would be determined by who has more upvotes.
If you post your party on 4chan, anyone who likes it but doesn't have anything to say about it will just keep scrolling. Thus, you're more likely to get negative feedback than positive. And without votes, it's usually not clear whether consensus is in favor of your party or the person saying your party looks like dogshit. Especially not on a board as slow as /tg/.
