All of them you dumbass.

Y, W and T. Maybe H but T is basically "Retard who wants to hit things with a sword" already and without the chance of having a /pol/ melty at the table.

W, T, H are your party. A will, at best, make things weird, at most typical be extremely sensitive and require adjusting campaign and setting to align with their values, and at worst melt down and kill the campaign. Y grooms kids and can't be trusted with your pets.

>>98628335
>T is basically "Retard who wants to hit things with a sword" already
Unlikely if they're looking to emulate Critical Role.

>>98628328
How weird are Y's fetishes? How often does T bring up Critical Reddit or capeslop? How argumentative is W?

Y and H are instant no-gos.

>>98628451
Rather, A and H are the no go's.

>>98628328
T seems the best or at least malleable enough to become not bad with some guidance.
A has three red flags, so it's disqualified.
It's a matter of time before Y does something weird, but maybe you can have a short campaign before that happens.
W doesn't seem awful, but those types will slowly but surely erode your enjoyment of running the game. If you need players to fill the quota, you can keep him until you find someone better.
H's bullshit will become overdone after one session.

>W doesn't seem awful,
W will end up being the absolute worst.

The rest have issues and some even have signs that they are probably awful people, but their most severe flaws exist outside of the game and there's a chance they can just be left at the door. W's severe flaw extends deep into the game and the kind of stubborn willful ignorance that leads a person into becoming a grognard means that not only is he unlikely to "turn it down" when he sees other people upset with him, he's actually likely to mentally justify to himself that he needs to turn it up.

I've played with many different people who've had some of the traits of these caricatures, and by far the biggest red flag, the one that is an immediate deal breaker, is the "grognard".

>>98628328
T and Y.
>A
Will whine about their character dying. Also that's not Bipolar, that's DiD so they're literally insane.
>W
Will try to rules lawyer their way into unfair advantage. Won't make a character that fits the game.
>H
Too stupid to play traditional games. Will drag his shitty politics into everything.


the new player who's probably a kid will be more receptive to learning to properly play and if they say it's not like CR show them the post Matt made about not expecting your GM's game to be CR.

The furry knows the rules, but won't be as anal about it as the grog, and will at least probably add something interesting to the party.

>>98628328
To a party? Bring someone who'll put out. Id say A or D depending on what flavour of chud dick you want

>5 player party
Ew

>>98629650
Eh, you can manage 6 player parties easily enough if 3 of the 6 are wallflowers.

>>98629168
I agree, you can sometimes deal with others by making them quit their bullshit when we play and focus on the game, but if the problem behaviour is how they play the game, then it's most probably not going to end up well.
Also it's quite clear when other types cross the line, grognard's awfulness is death by thousands cuts.

>>98628328
W and H. Report A and Y to ICE and let someone else raise T.

>>98628328
T easily. W maybe. Skip the rest.

>>98629772
I can manage them fine, if the point of the thread is me picking the ideal party, they sure ain’t all making the cut.
>W to bite hooks, party face and keep things moving
>T to throw curveballs and bring whimsy
And I’m pretty much good. I’ll invite Y if T gets too discouraged with W but otherwise smaller is better

>>98629650
It's the optimal number for long-term stability

>>98628328
W and T are the only possible good players, and even they have flaws. A, Y and H are all absolute no-go.

>>98628328
A: hell no
Y: depends, could be totally fine or a detriment, allow but keep a close watch
W: usually a no from me, but compared to the rest here, completely fine.
T: of course allow
H: no, if i somehow know you are a maga tard on the first session, then you are too political to play with.

A: Hell no
Y: Sure! Easily.
W: Hell no
T: I guess, if I have a seat I need to fill.
H: Hell no.
If I needed to find three players in order to run the game I would just have to keep looking.

>by far the biggest red flag, the one that is an immediate deal breaker, is the "grognard".
Truthnuke
Playing with people over 25 is a mistake. They're too old for games, and anyone that old still playing them is unfit for social activity.

>>98628328
A: Never. Also will not socialize with.
Y: Depends on how much they try to insert their furshit into things, or if they give the impression they can't separate fantasy from reality.
W: Depends on how disruptive they are and if they're argumentative or constantly breaking verisimilitude. Leaning no.
T: Maybe, if they're not annoying and don't come off as a troonsky type.
H: No. Will be annoying retard to try to be funny.

Never ever play, socialize, or be near H without holding them at gunpoint.

A: they're trans too? We have something common!
Y: they're a furry too? We have something in common!
W: Mechanics focused autist too? We have something in common!
T: Young new player? Hopefully we can help him figure out what his gender was supposed to be, so definitely worth playing with.

That's looking like a good 4 player group. Thanks, OP.

>>98628328
>A: Probably a no. Unmedicated bipolar disorder is very annoying to deal with and I feel like living vicariously through a character causes issues in the long run because the player will never put their ass on the line/might have main character syndrome.
>Y: How weird of a furry are we talking here? If they just jack off to big bear guys, whatever, but I wouldn't let a diaperfur or some shit into the table.
>W: Hard no. I hate guys who view the GM as their rival.
>T: Depends on the campaign and how young the kid is. I'm fine with introducing a teen to RPGs, but I'd also feel weird if I was running some grimdark shit.
>H: Probably not. Ultra political guys tend to freak out over little shit.

>>98628328
>A
Kill it
>Y
Kill it
>W
Kill it
>T
Recruit it, or kill it if it doesn't join us
>H
Based. Finally someone I get along with. Hopefully he can purge trannies and libtards with me. Plenty of light posts around to share.
