Ever had a tryhard goth(boy or girl, doesn't matter) at your table?
How well did they do?
Back in highschool I played D&D a few times with this goth chick who only ever played elf druids or elf rangers, and always had a wolf animal companion. She was pretty bad at roleplaying but wasn't disruptive, just bland, and always played the exact same character.
Out of the game she was tiresome to hang out with because she was a lazy environmentalist -- she'd talk for hours about how important the environment is and how it's bad to litter and how we shouldn't walk on the grass, but then she'd go home and play PS2 games for six hours straight and eat a bag of chips.
I fucked her much hotter cousin who was also a better roleplayer.
I'm gunna need you to be a bit more clear with that question...
Is the person in question trying hard to be goth?
Is the person in question trying hard to RP as a goth?
Is the person in question a goth who is a try hard when it comes to RP?
Do their aesthetic preferences really even relate to how well they do in a game?
>>47669996
I have a goth as one of my regulars, she plays dread necromancers, warlocks, vampires, Abyssals, the kind of shit you'd expect, and she can get a little moody and can have a short fuse sometimes, but when it's her night for snacks she shows up with like 3 pizzas, or something she baked herself. She makes sure to get the kinds of soda everyone likes, she's always 100% involved in the game, and doesn't mind people staring at her cleavage, which is ALWAYS on display.

VTM is practically cheating. The game is basically tryhard bait and it attracts the worst, edgiest kind of kids. The worst VTM players are the 30-40 year olds, though.

Don't worry brogrammer, I laughed.

This is nice.
>>47671778
No no, anon, it was pussybait. If you had a thing for goth chicks, like I do, it was a nice, pleasant way to get into their pants. I played with 2 goth chicks who were excellent roleplayers, in their preferred zone, and had no problems being hands on with their rp. I have fond memories of a session where we were all trying to seduce each other with a combination of veiled threats, seductive touches and honeyed promises.I took the shorter one home that night, and the tall one got so jealous she practically crawled into my lap while the shorter one watched and clitterbated.

That was your first mistake, anon.That said, they were cool with each other, and me, because, according to the tall one, "I didn't treat them like fucktoys, and gave as good as I got". The game went on, and so did we for a couple years, then we all moved on.
>>47671234

You do realize there's probably quite a bit of her blood in that, right?

Hi /g/

Man, if I were there I'd totallyenjoy some high quality baked goods and a pleasant evening of immersive roleplaying

>>47669996
My group had a dude who was a complete fucking munchkin. We'd start out at level 5 in a campaign, and he'd have studied the rule books and expansions so well that he'd practically solo our five man encounters before the rest of us could do anything. Our GM tried to balance it out by making the enemies beefier, but it just ended up being too hard for the rest of the group.
>>47672090In a grave

Wouldn't that make it salty?

Too soon.
>>47673219
Well, she isn't actively detracting from the game, right?
Engage me, what is the first letter of her name?
i never saw a single goth chick in my life
goddamn i want a goth girl to play magic with and talk about music and shit
>>47673320
You must not have been around for the '90s. It was a glorious time if you're into cute goth girls.

Vampire players are usually embarrassing
Werewolf players are usually oblivious, but charming enough
Mage players are usually boring pompous assholes

Provided they put it in BEFORE it got cooked: I'd be extremely flattered someone was enamored enough with me to offer their blood as nourishment.
>>47671087
Found the goth.
>>47674342
In my experience Vampire players are harder to pin as one thing because it's the most popular system.
Old Werewolf players literally fuck dogs. New Werewolf players are pretty much your standard harmless furries.
Mage players are usually boring pompous assholes.

>>47673348
Yeah the 90's truly were alt heaven. Nowadays there's a shitload of semi-prominent alt girls, because of my job I've hanged out with the steampunk crowd, Emilie Autumn's crowd (when it was a crowd rather than just Mark), and countless "models". But it just doesn't feel like the 90's, it's just costumes and crafted personalities, nobody is sincerely feeling outcast and trying to find themselves hanging with other rejects all brought together by one song or one book normies just don't get.
Fucking nostalgia sucks.
>>47669996
Does black fingernails, trench or otherwise lengthy coat, and an upside down cross necklace on a man count?
And the answer is poorly. Fantasy game set on not earth, the world is low gritty real fantasy, the players have fucking superpowers because that book told me not to combine it with other rules sets.
He makes a little demonic kid that telepathically breaths on the back of everyone's neck within a several mile radius for shits and giggles (and didn't take the hint until the 2nd time he was punched in character for it. nor did he put 2 and 2 together when wondering why town guards tended to be on edge so often (other players did, hence the punching)).
He also tried to abduct orphans to convert into a cult of the biblical satan. Because that was totally a thing in his mind despite "generic fantasy light based religion" being drilled into him.
Character died after attempting to take on a sizable chunk of the bbeg's city watch at night, alone, despite all of his combative powers being of the sneaky runaway sort (he was trying to murder a shopkeep).
The replacement? The legendary birdman. Whose talents included having the eyes of a hawk, and demanding notice checks every 15 minutes. AND NOTHING ELSE.
I've seen him in other games too, always tried to play something dark brooding and completely incompetent (that actively avoids cooperating with the rest of the party).
>never had a goth gf
>don't know any
>over 25
end me senpai, life isn't worth it
>>47671803
Well, we had a Tryhard Goth Gm who was really into making things dark and gritty. As a whole the group rather enjoyed playing the oddballs in his world of angsty edgelords.
In particular me and a friend, who played our pair of vampires like some sort of mobster lackeys.
He was the short fast talking, easily angered Brujah and I was the huge, thickheaded Gangrel that always carried a Shovel. We just treated their working for the local prince like just another job and refused to refer to him as The Don.
>>47669996
The only goths I've ever had at my table have been black. All the whites were neckbearded trailer spawn.
>>47675368
>Black goths
Aren't all goths black?
wait...
>>47675095
>an upside down cross necklace
It always kills me when people (ie the guy in your story) think this is an anti-christian or satanist symbol. Traditionally it's the cross of Saint Peter who refused to be crucified the same was as Christ, so he was instead crucified upside down. If anything, it's super catholic.
Everything that's been said in this thread is why I've never been able to pull together a WoD group to be storyteller for. Too many fucking weirdos and kids who can't bear the prospect of roleplaying anything short of the darkest, most miserable, cliched, cringe-inducing shit character possible. Or you get the oddball manic goth kid who insists on being the most manic, insufferable, story-derailing, limelight-hogging Malkavian they can.
I still have my old Tripp pants buried in my closet somewhere, I lived that goth life. But when I played my character was a small-time weed dealer at college in Boston who got scooped up and embraced by a Caitiff one night, who afterwords just bounced. Having no guidance in the world of the supernatural, he clung to a coterie of sympathetic Brujah. No dark and mysterious, no rape backstory, no special snowflake syndrome- just a regular schlub who got tossed into this new world by some jackhole who didn't wanna care for his spawn. Why are normal, believable characters so hard to do for the people drawn to WoD?
>>47674485
Nice story thanks for sharing famila
>>47676343
See the weird thing is that no matter what kind of WoD game I find, it's always good, and all the games I find are exclusively from /tg/. I've tempted fate so many times and it somehow manages to work out.
I've played:
2 games of VTR, one with a super cool group that was so dedicated to having a good game we once spent an entire Saturday just doing Climbing The Ladder, and another that was set in Japan that fizzled out before the first session but at the same time not a single player was a weirdo despite it being VAMPIRES AND WEEBS TOGETHER.
1 game of nWoD mortals / Genius: The Transgression. We were playing as cops and the antagonist was a Genius character. Super fun game that was felt like a bunch of sessions of True Detective.
And 1 game of Vampire: The Masquerade. The GM basically started out the campaign with "fuck the metaplot" and let us all play in modern times without Gehanna happening. I played a ghoul among a gangrel and a tremere. The gangrel player was really in to his martial arts fighting hobo gangrel, and the tremere player moved the plot forward. We later had a Malkavian join us and things still didn't get fucked up.
>Ever had a tryhard goth(boy or girl, doesn't matter) at your table?
Nope. If anything, I'm probably the closest to, based on my music choices.
...but the genre doesn't appeal to everyone, and while one would usually take goths as being open, if not driving the hobby, I'd assume they'd prefer to go for franchises with... you know... gothic aesthetics like 40K, World of Darkness, Malifaux... something like that.
Battletech doesn't fall in that category. Even under the Catalyst banner, they'd be more likely to gravitate towards Shadowrun, I think. Not far from artists, I'd assume they tend to gravitate towards stuff that is low on crunch.
Never had a bad game of masquerade. We also never dealt with the metaplot, just rumors and myths. Never saw a canon npc until a One World larp, and our local group found it pretentious as fuck.
>>47671924
Something similar happened to me. Original early-90s VtM did great things for role-playing. Emphasis on characters, mood, storytelling. Frankly all thrown out later by WW, but great when it was out.
They also brought a quality of pussy that you kids can't believe. I means 9/10and 10/10 hotties who were dressed in hot clothes and reading sandman and playing RPGs. And by the way were into some pretty kinky shit. English majors and theater girls.
I had an (in game) sex scene with a stripper once. Damn those chicks were hot. Plus, feminism in those days wasn't sexless harridans filing rape claims because you didn't use her gender neutral pronouns. It was girls making out with each other, having casual sex, doing porn shoots, and having threesomes. If you didn't act like you revelled in that shit, the gender studies professors acted like you might be a secret homophobe/Christian Coalition member. Which is kinds of shitty, but man it those were great years for guys wanting sex. Especially /tg/ guys.
>>47677420
>It was girls making out with each other, having casual sex, doing porn shoots, and having threesomes
there's still feminists like that, dudebert
>>47677491
Not many. And academic feminism has turned firmly against it.
>>47676240
Are you the same St Peter's cross dude from the other thread where it got brought up?
>>47677635
You sound like you're just out of the circles breh
>>47669996
insisted on playing an evil fighter
I can't remember anything else remarkable about it
the campaign didn't last more that two or three sessions anyways
>>47677819
yea man, me and all my friends, and all the feminists i know really, are all the super promiscuous pro-sex bisexual feminists its pretty rad
>>47677641
He ain't. It is however a really prevalent pet peeve.
>>47676240
I'm not sure if the upside down cross thing started in the US, but if it did it may have been something started to piss off Christian parents that thought Catholicism = Satan Worshippers.
Because we have actual people that believe that in the US.
>>47678186
I legitimately pity people who think Catholicism is satan worship. Also, if they walked into an Orthodox church somewhere in Eastern Europe, they'd probably have like, three aneurysms at once.
>>47669996
When I first got into DnD it was Thursday night games at my local.
There was this, not exactly goth girl, but she always wore black and every game she played a pretty-boy vampire.
One of the other players, a stereotypical fat-guy in all it's negative intonations, who wouldn't stop the miserable pick-up lines and seemed to derive sexual pleasure in killing her pretty-boy vamp characters like they were sexual rivals.
She left soon after.
That's been the only 'goth' that I've ever played as.
>>47669996
One of my friends that I play with told me that I would look good as a goth, does that count?
>>47669996
Tryhard GOTH, no.
Tryhard EDGE, yes.
Lemme explain this fellow.
>Nicknamed My Chemical Romance, because he liked one song of theirs, but looked like he belonged in the band or was a huge fan.
>Morbid shirts, blood-red fauxhawk, piercings, the works.
>Bit on the dumb side, huge fan of [insert random screamo pseudometal band here], may have cut once or twice, unsure on that.
That last part plays heavily into the two RPGs I was a part of with him.
First up, Star Wars: Edge(lol) of the Empire
>Makes a dude with a fucked-up face(massive razor-teeth, heavy scarring) named "the rooster"
>The Rooster has a metal plate in his chest that is INFUSED WITH THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE that MAKES HIM EAT DEAD BODIES. Also, he cuts the ears off of the corpses as souvineers.
>We clear out a den of asshats with him, he starts sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth, staring at the bodies and licking his teeth(he had no lips, of course).
Second one, less stupid, but a good view into this kid's head, Iron Kingdoms RPG.
>One of the guys makes a character as a parody of MCR. Tharn Chieftan/Warlock, plays it full cannibal, massive axe for disembowling dudes, the works.
>MCR arrives to join the sesh, spots this character, and says "Dude, that character is awesome, can I play that?"
>Dude who made the character shares a look with the rest of the group as if to say "fucking nailed it."
>>47679595
>INFUSED WITH THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE that MAKES HIM EAT DEAD BODIES
Makes no seance how the fuck did the GM allow this?
>>47679934
GM just looked at him like "are you serious?"
Party also looked at him like "are you serious?"
Before the session ended he got bored and went to play WarmaHordes, so we left his character behind... I think in a den of Nexu or a crime lords hideout.
Second most retarded player in any group.
1st place in goes to the idiot who made a protocol droid who ran around healing everyone, including the guys trying to kill us, while also pissing away the time when it wasn't his turn either on his phone or distracting people with his dumb stories.
Major problem is that HE is the ride for one of our far better players, and there's nobody else who can reasonably pick the poor dude up and bring him to the seshes.
I have experience on two goth players. Me, and my girlfirend. I've been playing for some years. Mostly DM:ing. When we got together with my gf, I wanted her to try cyberpunk 2020. She was quite bad, had no motivation to do anything (my players are quite... dominant, maybe that is the reason). After the session, neither of of had any desire for her to continue playing. She loves mtg though, she plays dragons(her little sister is a bit tryhard goth and plays vampires).
As far as I know, neither of us is a tryhard. We met in a (the only one) gothic club in our city. We are also old and mature enough to not just do whatever we feel like (music and stylewise).
>>47677819
There is a difference between it being "in circles" and it being the thing, son.
Back in the day, the sex part of feminism was not letting someone else dictate to you what is "proper" for you to enjoy. If you want that cute boy over there, go get him. If you want a dick for the night and that 6/10 will do, then he'd better be good for at least 30 minutes.
>>47671327
You. I like you
>>47669996
I imagine he used to be a goth but he's certainly an edgy motherfucker. We tease him about it, and about how he's literally the conservative boogeyman (he works on a conservative radio talk show but is secretly a radical socialist, atheist, former Satanist, and got certified to wed people so he could gay marry others). He tries to roleplay, and even though it's usually cringe levels of edge, that's a hell of a lot more than most of the group can say.
My first DM was kind of a goth, she was cool.
Her campaigns were a bit too melodramatic and magicalrealmy tho.
>>47680609
Depends on the realm and the game.
>>47671327
You could have just not answered the second question.
Maybe I'm just burned out from coding at work.
Yeah,all of us
Nah, we weren't that bad. Only a couple of our friends were really into the whole scene. The rest of us just liked metal and black.
I'm still friends with one of the goth girls from high school, she's still into it (we're nearly 30). But she's pretty cool and is a pretty interesting roleplayer.
>>47677635
I disagree. Most feminists I know (and I frequent a LOT of coffee shops) are still pretty free-love. They just, you know, also have a pretty strong opinion about rapists, too.
>>47674807
>werewolf
Please. All the furries go to be Pooka in Changeling, aka Otherkin: The Glamourbombing.
All the werebeast players I've had were either burly metalheads or wrestler/mma'ers. People who loved being physical. In saying that though, they were less enviromental hippy and more 'fuck the man' trashing the place.
I used to be one but this was almost a decade before I got into tabletop so I suppose I don't count.
I did play a game with one guy like that though, he played a rogue who only ever did dickass things if he knew no one (including the party) could ever pin them on him. He was fairly engaged in the game and RP'd a lot.
I don't recall him ever being a problem at the table
>>47671928
Hating yourself for taking about a week of Comp Sci 101 is a bit harsh, don't you think?
>>47680092
I read this with a very monotone and bored voice in my head. I'm sorry.
>>47674980
Blame the internet.
The outcasts and rejects still hang out with each other, but they do it through the internet on websites like 4chan instead of out in the real world. The internet fulfills almost all social desires at least well enough to cope while giving people the security of anonymity.
In the 90s if you were an outcast you still had social cravings to fill and were forced to find other similarly minded or otherwise rejected people to associate with in their local areas. These groups of people very rarely shared interests and instead learned to celebrate their differences and banded together against hostilities of the mainstream.
The internet removed all of this. Why put yourself at risk to find people who don't share your ideas when you can be safe and have an echo chamber? Why spend the time and effort getting to know people who might later change and/or reject you?
Perhaps most importantly though, the internet gives everyone a voice. Many of the problems of the 90s suburbia was the disconnect between what children believed and what reality actually held. Kids had dreams of being rock stars and politicians and changing the world, but the cold hard reality was that they never had a chance. The game was rigged from the start: only a few people they had never met could determine how much voice they had. Now people can upload a video to the internet and actually be heard. There is no more cruel joke of being doomed to live in obscurity without a chance. And while that's a good thing, it changed society.
>>47683978
The intrnet lets you be heard, but nobody is listening.
80-90's Goths, unlike punks, emos, etc. actually cared about each other either because they liked or disliked one another.
Gothic hangouts let you be an indivudual within a group of likely minded people and while banter was sometimes fierce, there was very little othering unlike within punk circles. Ironical "I'm so goth I shit bats" type jabs at how other subcultures competed were common and few people took "being more goth than you" too seriously. Being a fairweather goth didn't get you literally kicked out, and it didn't even matter if you didn't look THAT goth, so long as you could hold a nice conversation.
They were truly the most supportive group of assholes you could find and there were hordes of smoking hot girls among them, without that much competitivon even because the gay population was high too.
Nowadays "goth" is just a costume camwhores wear to bait fetishists. Voltaire is probably the last of his kind.
>>47684318
I know nothing about goths, but if its become like that even for big subcultures like metalheads i guess its true and the surface is the only thing remaining.
My dream of meeting a girl that finds walks in the cemetery romantic is without hope
this thread is seriously making me depressed
>>47678577
It really is sad that so many people (both men and women) get turned off from ttrpg's because of fuckers like this
>>47680609
>Her campaigns were a bit too melodramatic and magicalrealmy
meaning what?
>>47684318
>The intrnet lets you be heard, but nobody is listening.
It's not about whether or not anyone is actually listening, it's about the fact that now there is a chance where before there was none.
Would Arin Hanson and his troll-thing wife be famous without the internet? Pewdepie? Markiplier? What about Miranda sings? The DBZA guys have done voice work in actual shows (one of them is in the newest DBZ movie). Hell, Journey searched youtube for people to audition for their lead singer for fuck's sake!
None of this was even imaginable to the common guy just 15 years ago. Every single person who wants to take a shot at being famous can. That's a big deal.
i played d&d 2e in the very early 90s and vtm in the late 90s and early 2000s
so yeah i saw my fair share of awful makeup and cardboard mysterious Lestats
>>47686212
Yes everyone can play a fake character for 15 minutes of fame or themselves for pity bucks.
Neither things goths ever cared about. Goth is dead because actual subcultural communities are dead and the most communitary, warm and supportive of subcultures was, ironically, the goths.
>>47686492
My point is that the subcultural communities are dead because the internet allows people to socialize without it.
The bit about the internet allowing everyone their 15 minutes are simply some of my thoughts on why this has occurred.
Being born too late for the goth movement is truly suffering.
Alt girls abound with the kind of people I usually hang out with, but most of them are broken sluts who just want attention. None of them even wear dark makeup or paint their nails black. It's depressing.
is there a place where the goth movement is still like it was in the early days?
>>47686134
Always female BBEGs with a tragic backstory and a romantic interest in a member of the party, for example
>>47686717
We don't socialize, we just shitpost each other.
We used to socialize way back in the old age of forums but social media completely ruined that, now it's echo chambers and ignoring all feedback but likes and money.
>>47687234
London and Vegas but the communities are small and mostly old people.
Teens and young adults just don't want to be goth no more. It's apparently too self-judgment heavy and too chill despite the gratuitious ironic melodrama. Not at all what the "I'm offended by everything, I'm perfect and the only person who matters" generation wants from life.
this thread is woefully lacking in hot goth girl pics
>>47688594
tbqh famiglium I'd be goth but it's too fucking hot for that shit
Still might do it tho
>>47688594
>"I'm offended by everything, I'm perfect and the only person who matters" generation
Describes most of my interactions with goths to be truthful.
>>47687234
Depends on what you mean by "early days." First wave goth was strong during the early 80s, waned as the decade progressed, then picked up again in the early 90s before fading. Second wave goth started in the late 90s and died out for the most part by 2008. It splintered heavily into other, related, music scenes like psychobilly, various electronic and dance subgenres, even some alt-country.
>>47683978
>>47684318
You guys have pretty much nailed it. I've been involved in alt gigs and clubs for the past decade and it's been a slow decline from the groups who genuinely liked being with like-minded people and were a solid community to nearly all newcomers holding the the 'How can i get noticed and show how edgy I am.' schtick. Sure those people were around before but they're no longer just 'These guys', they're all that's left.
I honestly don't know if there's any way to get things back the way they were.
>>47674980
>Emilie Autumn's crowd (when it was a crowd rather than just Mark), and countless "models". But it just doesn't feel like the 90's, it's just costumes and crafted personalities
This is painfully true about the 'scene', and especially so with the bigger name bands/artists. Emilie was super hot and an amazingly talented musician but the last gig of hers I went to was nothing but stripteases, dancers and squealing scene queens. My (now-Ex) gf and I left before half way through the show.
>>47689159
>Describes most of my interactions with anyone under 30 to be truthful.
FTFY
>>47689193
You'll always have costumes and crafted personalities within a subculture. The smaller, more intimate nature of a subculture breeds big fish, small pond mentality among those inclined towards it.
>>47689236
Most of the interactions with anyone over 30 too. That's the genteel areas of the South for you.
>>47678203
>>47678186

>>47669996

Yet we didn't really end up infighting because of the ratio and arguing with us very quickly led to Wizardbro out-roleplaying the shit out of his character with complex insults and personal jibes about thatgoth's backstory and how he smells like farts and the paladin's good aura gave him a rash, but not worse than what whoring gives him, and looking back on it we were kinda harsh

Maggots is the only thing genuine about EA's show, she's a real life wandering clown that hangs out with circus crowds across the globe visiting workshops and children's hospitals.
When the aerialist and the dancer were still around it felt like a burlesque show with manic depression. Now it's Emilie and Veronica fake lezzing through feminazi music while Maggots akwardly tries to keep the show being a show.

Orc warlady, wanted to add the party warlock to her harem of husbands.
Lich queen, wanted the party to turn to her side and be the party mom.
Tyrant princess, was adviced to make the paladin her consort.
Mad sorceress, thought the bard was cute and wanted to lock him in her dungeon.
She never made them outright evil, more like justified and misguided.
When we did end up killing her BBEGs she always made a big tragic scene out of it to guilt us into following their footsteps.
>>47673348
My mum was a cute goth girl, in the vein of Lydia from Beetlejuice. This is probably why I'm a vaguely goth girl who is interested in cute goth girls. I was never part of any kind of alternative crowd, all my friends were vaguely hipster, and all the other 3 goth chicks i knew hated me.
I wish there had been some kind of dnd group i could join when i was in high school, even now the only games i can join are online. I love the story telling aspect of tabletop games, but it's so hard to meet and talk to people.

Did you go to a Catholic school too? Conservative religious people are the worst. No offense to any conservative religious posters on this American Christian Imageboard.
>>47693315
Yes. My parents thought it would "straighten me out".
Got expelled three weeks in.
There was a goth girl at my school who joined our role-playing club. To my understanding her parents pushed her into joining (her mom owned a bookstore called Baggin's Books and her dad made her charactersheet for her if that tells you anything). She played for a while, got pretty involved and seemed to enjoy herself, decided it wasn't her thing pretty quickly though and left. Me and some of the other members did play videogames with her sometimes after that though. All in all it was good, she was nice enough even though she didn't stick around.

I think tryhard usually means trying too hard to be cool or too much effort in the wrong direction. But fair point, half the time this is just kids who are trying to figure out life.

Orc Warlady kidnapped Warlock and rode him a couple of times, he then convinced the rest of the harem to escape with him under the veil of night, in the ensuing chase the entire party along with the harem and Orc Warlady died. Her less crazy sister took over.
Lich Queen made a very convincing case by being nice, doting and supportive. Party turns evil, become her lieutenants, really fun campaign.
Tyrant Princess met with Paladin to convince him to marry her, he turns her down, she brutally murders him while crying and spouting "men are all the same rhetoric".
Mad Sorceress captured Bard and locked him in her dungeon, he was an useless asshole so the rest of the party didn't bother to rescue him and he was never heard from again.
Incidentally that warlock, paladin and bard were my characters.
Her narrative had a very strong anti-authority feel to it, as well as a slight femdom vibe.
All of her other NPCs were crass and promiscuous, no matter the age or gender or alignment or relevance to the plot.

Like a dog collar? No thanks. I'm more interested in lacy stuff and long black dresses, or doc boots, tights, and a big sweater dress. I said vaguely goth. Go review a cartoon. The goths that wear dog collars are the crazy ones in my experience. The kind you expect to make a black and red oc character, or obsess about emotions and edginess. Ths kind who cut in a very visible place, so people know they're a cutter.
I wonder how many goths, emos, and scene kids there are that look back and cringe, versus how many of them don't drop the trend, and stay cringey indefinitely.
>>47696499
He's intelligent but sometimes he comes off as a little bit cringey. He's one of my favorite youtubers, but he seems like he's very close to tripping over his mom's spaghetti. I wonder what he's like when he's not 'switched on' for youtube stuff.
>>47696568
Have you watched his podcasts? He seems a bit more relaxed in those last time I checked, but I haven't checked those in a bit.

That's not magical realm at all. Christ, have you even read the comic strip this expression comes from?
>>47695609
She sounds like a realnice lady.
>>47699511
Half the people around here haven't, they've either only seen the single panel or heard it as a term. They think anything that panders even slightly to a fetish is "magical realm" instead of, you know, full on forcing the party into a forest made of piss. YOU HAVE TO PISS INTO THE OGRE'S MOUTH IF YOU WANT TO PASS. Kids these days don't know how good they got it.
>>47673348

My girlfriend goes to an all-girls boarding school and she tells me some fucked up shit about that place, not from the faculty but from the girls being monsters to each other.
She's a perky goth at heart but will only go as far as a choker and a slightly darker red lipstick so as to not paint a target on her.
>>47702553
I've heard that sort of stuff about all girl schools. There's one near where i live, the girls there have a reputation for being bitchy and slutty. And they're all rich, so according to stereotypes they're probably snobs too.
That's always the hard part of dressing goth or alternative, you stand out like a sore thumb. It kind of implies a certain amount of negative attention.

Girl-on-girl bullying is something else, bro. It's like wolves or piranhas and it always over the stupidest pettiest shit imaginable, I worry about my girl being around those harpies, hiding in plain sight.

>I wonder how many goths, emos, and scene kids there are that look back and cringe, versus how many of them don't drop the trend, and stay cringey indefinitely.
I'm still a goth in my late 30's. Then again it actually aids my business and the corporate goth look was even adopted by mainstream corporate fashion for a while.
Best thing about goth was how much you could stretch the community without breaking it. People from polar opposites of society in the same venue sharing a beer to their favourite song is not something you see everyday.
>>47703472
Be more scared that one of then may get a thing for her, women wanting someone get downright creepy in the long run.
>>47702979
Teacher here, the best teaching experience is at all men schools, they actually work like schools.
Women really don't belong in schools they should be left to private tutoring, their bullshit social competition and undermining ends up costing them a good chunk of their full potential. It's no surprise the best female athletes and artists train alone so they don't get distracted because coach sempai doesn't notice them enough.
>>47703721
That in particular I don't worry about, the "lesbos" are the bottom of the barrel there, literal pariah. But there's always the posibility that she ends up in someone's shitlist and then rumors of her being a dyke start flying around.

>>47701093
It wasn't rape, I wanted it too
>>47705104
One could argue they got so well because it was ironical that they did.
Goth had a lot of theatricality for theatricality's sake. Some guys took themselves and the woe is me deal too seriously but it's so easy to find perky goths because ultimatedly we were rejects having fun in our own creepy sub-society, what subcultures are meant to be but for whatever reason most never get to be.

Had one in college who played a Rogue who was the runaway daughter of a line of Counts who were renowned for being Paladins and Lawful Good Fighters because she didn't want to go into the family business so she instead became an actress and fencer.
She had the black hair, black clothing and black makeup and listened to music I found, quite honestly, bad. That said, she had her own PHB and didn't cause trouble. Her boyfriend was a dick, though. Thankfully she dumped his annoying ass a few sessions in for a much more affable and likeable Goth dude who also liked classic metal so we got on great. She played her character in an interesting manner with a Chaotic Good alignment.
Loretta von Strabe, the Violet Sash. I've used an older, now heading her own noble house version of her character as the patron of an adventuring party a couple of years back.
I do realize I probably got a lucky draw, but that's my experience.

Never been happier to be an oldfag, if I were a teen/young adult nowadays I'd force myself to be gay rather than waste a second on young american women.
>>47714001
My only hope for the future is that when I am older and wealthier, the late-teens/early 20s women of that time will be worth bothering with.
Because they sure as shit aren't worth it now
>>47714001
That's only true for white women tho.
Asian girls are still worth it, latinas have never stopped being top-tier, black are a new territory to explore and thanks to swirling you get their cream of the crop, even indian and middle-eastern girls are an interesting option.
Sounds like you guys should grab a flight over to Norway, goth and metal subculture still very much a strong presence here and without the weight issue that america seems to be dealing with.
Plus weve got a healthy amount of english speakers as well and Sweden right nest door which is a lot like.

Goth GM here, a few years and campaigns under my wing.
I'm part of the OSR crowd, I mainly do weird fantasy with a grotesque tone, my players enjoy it a lot.
Speaking of players, I take everything at home, my current group consists of another goth guy, a buddhist fellow, a punk-ish guy and an actor, it's a blast.
Hanging out on the indie/OSR rpg scene since back around 2010, i can say there's a lot of alt folks, probably drawn by the exploration of new subjects and the whole DIY part of it.
Currently running a LL/LotFP campaign set in 1525 italy where the inquisition is trying to eliminate all forms of non-divine wizardry, the pope is rumored to be a necromancer and the depths of the earth are a huge labyrinthine mega-dungeon filled with horrible creatures and strange, almost human societies.

Sweden is off-limits by now for us. Just don't go there and don't care about what happens there.

I'm 25 and she's 17, don't be alarmed since it's legal in Massachusetts.
What you should be alarmed about, and I know I am, is that she doesn't wanna go to college and instead wants to move in with me and be a housewife/breeding sow.
We're gonna go watch Warcraft in a while, probably have a quickie in the car on the way home.
>>47717250
Get that girl out the door, at least to community college. Though the feminist movement was very good in getting women closer in status to men it means that now you cannot afford to have kids without both of you working. Not unless you make some serious cash
>>47717250
>>47717390
What anon said, but I think you know it already.
As much as the idea of having a homely housewife doing that sort of stuff sounds nice, The wourld changed a lot, is more expensive and theres no way to you both and a little kid to live nicely together with only you working.
Also, I was the dm, and quite gothic. These teenagers who every other kid tought were cringy. Strangely my teachers said to me to never change. It was alright, my ground are a lot of metalheads tho,, some slides back to "normal" with old age, but end going back when any music or something happend around them, is quite fun.
>>47717390
>>47717517
I make pretty good money, with good chances of moving up, but you're right. I shouldn't let her take the easy way out, no matter how good she is at the whole housewife thing and she's great at it. Maybe some kind of compromise.
>>47717774
The compromise is the role you post on making her a breeding sow senpai.

Turns out, her mother conspired with another mother at her church, and that mother sent her Christian Chad son after our little goth girl. She didn't stand a chance, and now she's lost the goth appearance and became his Christian breeding sow, giving up tabletop for two kids.
