Can we just call these threads "Bitching Threads" or "Whining Threads"?

Can we just call these posts "Bitching Posts" or "Whining Posts"?

How about "Posts Asking for More Appropriate Titles."

You're trying too hard, and failing.

good to see that /tg/ is not lacking in the autism department. O and go ahead and respond with sarcastic dismissal because you have to keep that ego up
What do you guys do when the DM is 'THAT GUY'?
He injects his fetishes into every element of gameplay and has even railroaded the entire party into sexual situations, like full on "Magical Realm" tier stuff.
Here's a rough list of the shit he's made our party do without any input of our own:
>Make our Cleric a pedophile (possibly) in his backstory, he is also never allowed to take off his gimp suit or his balls will fall off.
>Made the Druid and the Paladin fuck goats (possibly the same goat)
>Made our Sorceresses entire family a cult of nymphomaniacs who attempt to fuck the party to death.
>Have the Clerics evil religion actually be a cult of people who have sex with farm animals.
>Link everyone's hand movements together (magicdon'task) and gets one character to jack off.
>2 of our boss battles have been against a really fat lass we know IRL who is, admittedly a fucking disgusting person in reality, but in-game is a terrifying flesh golem who tries to eat people with her ass.
>Also pubes golem
>Magical loss of genitals and body hair
>"Happy Sacking"
>Making a primary quest giver in the hub town an old racist rapist (who our Rogue ended up killing)
I'm probably forgetting a few, they all sort of blend together after a point.
Any advise?
>>43599725
Stop playing with him and find someone else to run games.
>>43599725
Happy sacking?
>>43598670
How do I become That Guy?
>>43599725
>"Happy Sacking"
Should I know what this means? Would I regret knowing?
>>43599682
>I need to preempt against any replies
Are you really that afraid of people?
ok what do i do with the guy who keep calling me wolf boy. my ranger rolled to be raised by wolves so i have gone with a bit of a feral child approach. the only time i was nice to wolves was a time i would be nice to anyone else. He harps on about me being a furry. DM is a lot closer to him than me and i am the new guy, He is suppose to be lawful good but will insult my guy and be surprised when the chaotic neutral ranger responds with a growl or not helping him with anything
>>43599859
>>43599725
Find a new DM. There are regular gamefinder threads on /tg/, or you can usually find ads in your FLGS.
>>43599862
If he's giving you shit out of game, talk to him and the DM about it.
>>43600186
but i am right that i am in charecture to be a dick back right?
>>43599842
By being a colossal fucking autistic faggot.
>>43600204
Sure, that's what roleplaying is about. If he takes offence to it, tell him that he's been giving you shit as well. Just be careful that you don't disrupt the entire party dynamic under the guise of "It's what my character would do."
>>43600262
i didnt get him food when my charecture when out for food because he called me wolf lover. is that going to far? i am a wood elf so a dragon born bard insulting me wood be something i can be that level of dick to right?
>>43600324
Sure that's fine. It's not exactly PvP, is it?
>>43600324
Your character can be pissed at someone else. If another PC start to piss you off you're right to piss him off too. It's fair. Just don't go overboard and kill him at night because of a yo mamma joke
>>43600362
>>43600369
thing is he says that he is only being a dick to me because i am CN so he does not see us getting along
>>43600369
After getting harassed by a fellow PC in a neutral aligned party I asked our dm in private if I was allowed to kill him.
>Catch him off guard after long encounter
>both of us almost dead already
>roll natural 20 like Gruumsh himself supported the bloodshed
>put his gnome head on a fucking pike
>continue game as normal
>>43600395
Being a dick to you because of out of character knowledge is metagaming at a That Guy level.
I'm fairly sure he play Lawful Stupid AKA "Do what I say or I smite you lol"
Talk to your DM about it. Characters should get along or not for RP reasons not out of character knowledge reasons
>>43599268
>>43599125
>You're the DM
>You let it happen
>It's his fault
Okay then.
>>43600453
he also encourages our lawls random wizard he keeps wondering off before fights
>>43600437
Best part of this was the fact that his death was completely justified RPwise since our Gods were mortal enemies and my Half-orc warrior thought very lowly of anyone who ran from battle, as our rogue was known to do.
>>43599725
>What do when someone ruins our game?
Is this really that hard to know the answer to?
Stop.
Playing.
With.
Them.
Im in a weird situation where the player is a really cool guy mostly but he plays table top like a video game and his character is fucking insufferable.
Insists on killing everything in his path to the point its a little obnoxious
It doesn't help hes the party's face.
So I Set up an entire campaign in which a bunch of local factions are manipulated by a drifter into infighting and war with one another. He fights with the upset factions escalating violence. Until he eventually discovers what the drifter is up to. Its revealed the drifter is a worshiper of a local death god that feeds on death chaos and violence.
He's been playing into the villains plans the entire time
Ever since then he's been more measured in his decisions to fight.
>arrive at friends house to play 40k, friend says "my list is done, I'm ready to go!"
>i haven't had the time to make a list, so quickly get to work writing down all important shit i can

>ask host if he has all his stuff written down, "yes, I've been waiting on you so come on hurry up let's go!"

>>43600686
lets go back to the ego stroke part
>>43599801
>>43600556
He's one of our best friends, genuinely nice guy, and he almost always hosts. He's just a lousy DM, and he's a sensitive little fucker too.
>>43599806
>>43599846
You know what we never found out either, as soon as he introduced the concept, in the form of a creepy plot device carriage driver who demanded the act as payment for a lift I immediately rolled to stab him to death, Nat fucking 20. We'd been down that road too many times, now Happy Sacking will remain a mystery, probably for the good of all.
>>43600666
Nice trips.
Sounds like that guy needs to learn to list.
>>43600713
I would still stop playing. It's clear you aren't enjoying it that much. The mere explanation that you aren't having fun would be enough to convey your feelings on the matter to him.
If he's sensitive that probably isn't going to work in his favor.
>>43600666
it's not too late
quit now, Satan!
>>43600748
Recently we all agreed to run a new campaign that someone else would DM, run it pretty normally and hope he realizes how much of a tit he's been when he's actually one of the players. That's the hope anyway, either way he won't be DM'ing for us again I don't think, But we don't want to stop playing with the guy altogether, we like the fucker, just an awkward situation.
>>43600788
That's probably a better way to try and fix things. Who knows how well it'll go.
>>43600644
I wish I could DM like that. I just had my thatguy-esque player make a character with an explicit order from his Harper bosses to help the party.
>>43599725
desu I would play this game
>>43599862
I think you are 12
>>43600851
>>43600851
>>43600713
Your nice guy bestest friend is a child, anon.
Tell him you want an actually serious game without all this goofy shit or leave his game.
>>43598670
Was this guys name gage by any chance? Cause I screencaped some stories of a guy who acted similar to that
pic related that guy incarnate
>>43599125
> Paladin sees valuable enemy in precarious position
> Bravely attempts to capture said enemy despite the difficulty, and danger of the situation
> Unsurprisingly, both fall during an altercation *while attempting to fight on top of a ship's mast*
> Enemy unfortunately dies on impact
> WOW FUCK THAT PALADIN WHAT A FUCKWIT
seriously what about that situation wasn't 1) appropriately in character 2) appropriately dramatic 3) unreasonable or surprising?
Fighting on the main mast of a sailing ship during a goblin invasion is exactly the sort of thing people play these games for
>>43598670
>he rides away on his heelies
I don't think this happened, anon.
>>43599464
getting two legitimate posts out of the one That Guy moment is the kind of dream /tg/ is made of
>>43599464
Got a link to the other /tg/ post you made?
>>43600713
Tell him you want to try your hand at DMing, and explain that it would give him the chance to be a player. That might at least tone things down since he'll be controlling a single character rather than the world.
>>43599725
you should have your character start exhibiting signs of trauma due to stress from sexual abuse:
mental illness, impulsive/chaotic behavior, violence, paranoia, hostility, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and self destructive behavior
and/or go the extreme path of making your pc turn into a psychopathic pedophile that literally attempts to rape every single underaged being he sees
that oughta show the dm
>>43599464
Pray tell
we often have changing players during the same campaign and new ones participating once in a while
>friend of my friend plays with us , nice guy , no sign of weeaboo or neckbeardery

the girl looks like she doesnt feel safe with us andmire
>>43602997
>the girl looks like she doesnt feel safe with us andmire
Because you condoned that guy's actions for too far.
Should've told him "you bring rape up any more again and you're booted" after first incident at the very least, if not an immediate boot.
At the very least now, do that declaration; also ban any mentions of pork dick or anything related to the accident. Just let it vanish from memory.
>>43602997
You're pretty retarded senpai
>>43599610
you can fake it.
They all do.
The emperor has no clothes.
>>43599725
Things that never happened.
>>43598670
I think I might actually be the That Guy for the local gaming group around here.
I maintain proper hygiene, and I'm thin, and I don't talk much (I certainly don't sexually harass people, or spout racist shit). But I did just recently move to a town full of people who've lived in the area for their whole lives, after I've been working in Korea and traveling around East and SE Asia for the last five years, so I've picked up some annoying habits like talking about my travels, and not thinking the same away everyone around here thinks.
So... shame on me.

>Spooky Halloween one-shot session

>That Guy is a pretty cool dude but he can be a bit childish with his "pranks" when he gets in a mood
>Tonight he's probably high on sugar
>Being pretty nervous about pulling the whole "rat" thing, I don't pay much attention to the pre-made characters the players pick

>After the intro, I describe a scene where they're all eating together and I ready my spooky sounds
>That Guy immediately cuts me and rolls to attack the colony leader
>They start fighting, on paper they are pretty matched with a slight advantage for That Guy's character, since the alpha had to spend a bunch of points in charisma and wisdom stuff

>I decide it's time the scenario began, cue monstrous construction vehicles wrecking their shit
>Finally the ball gets rolling

>Since the leader still insists on not fighting, That Guy is never wounded and never stops
>This goes on until the players reach their limit and ask That Guy to stop ruining the session
It all went pretty well after that,, but God damn, never again will I let players pick their character sheet.
>>43604521
>never again will I let players pick their character sheet
What, you're just going to decide what character they play for them?
>>43599725
>>43599125
I fail to see where this is a That Guy thing. It's awesome as fuck. You as a DM should have kept the hobgoblin inconscious or some shit.
>>43604565
Only when we're playing with pre-made characters, and I wouldn't straight out hand them personally but rather veto some picks.
>>43599725
This sounds fucking hilarious. Roll with it.
>>43602997
>Bringing women to dnd night let alone actually letting them participate
Stop ruining my hobby please. It's bad enough girls constantly come into my flgs and ask to join our group all the fucking time and my DM actually let's them.

>turn 5: 'zerkers manage to kill riptide, with the help of the last cultist squads, and some lucky dice rolls. They get murdered his shooting phase.
I mean, I know my list is shit, but it's fun to play. Having someone bitching me out for being broken while destroying me was almost surreal. He literally lost one riptide compared to a board wipe.
>>43604721
>tfw my girlfriend says she wants to join me and the lads' dnd session
>DM is keen for her to join because he barely ever hangs out with any girls, plus I feel like it's a bit of a dick move to just say 'no, sorry'

>DM does a good job of introducing her to the party, everything seems to be going better than expected
>our cleric has previously exhibited 'that guy' tendencies, but only in small ways
>now he goes full-on fucking 'that guy', RPs that his character fancies the sorceress' character
>fair enough at first, just does stuff like prioritizes protecting her in fights, etc, which isn't bad RP
>ends up pulling shit like killing unarmed prisoners simply because they hurt her in combat, even though we needed to interrogate them and he was supposed to be lawful good
>makes the game more and more about him showing off and doing 'lol so random' things
>when our mage was unconscious at one point he said he wanted to make it look as though he was using a heal on him, but was actually using a damage spell - for no conceivable reason (as I say, he was Lawful Good, and his character hadn't had any previous dispute with the mage). When we all said how ridiculous that was he said we were meta-gaming and using player knowledge rather than character knowledge. DM, for some reason, lets him do it.
>Later on we get to a new town late at night, find tavern to rest in/find out new info etc.
>Clear that the DM has set this up and that things will progress inside
>Insists on throwing a flaming torch onto the thatched roof with no justification after some of us had gone in (LAWFUL GOOD)
>succeeds - we narrowly escape, but pretty much everyone in the tavern dies
>the party basically split up because half of us ran away from the first guards on the scene and the homicidal cleric who then randomly started attacking them
>>43604888
We had to stop playing because there wasn't really anywhere we could from there.
In my experience there's nothing intrinsically wrong with girls in games, you just have to make sure you're not playing with guys who will completely change their playstyle/railroad potentially good sessions just because a girl is there.
>>43604818
Taufags: not even once.

That man is a hero. Keep him.

Your story is now amusing me on a very meta level.
>>43605168
Not sure what to think desu.
I dont think he was a That Guy 100% of the time but he did piss me off with that one session.
>>43605195
IMO he lost it at making a cleric lose favor for failing to see through an absurdly powerful illusion and then Fenthicking the cleric when he return to answer for the crime.
>>43605115
Yep, he's still a shit GM.
Take off his GMing hat and his GM screen and make the world a better place.

>>43605115
That's honestly some of the worst DMing I've ever heard of. No chance to resist the illusion, multiple people with divine powers not noticing anything wrong, apparently slaughtering innocents while being convinced they're fighting back, having your DMPC save the day, every single detail is a fuckup.
Please tell me you didn't play with this guy again.
>>43598670
Blonde with an E refers to a female, Blond refers to a male. This guy is male. Blond is one of the very few gendered adjectives in English. Get it right.
>>43604818
Similar happened to me but I was playing 30k emperors children and he had riptides, 1500 point game
>>43604265
I assure you, they fucking did.
Thanks for everyone's input by the way, I'll pass the advice on to the group.

I had a session last weekend where I sat next to a guy who was playing a paladin, started by cutting a guys hand off, stealing alcohol from the local tavern, and insisting we murder the defendant in a trial.
Then he grabed a model, put it on my shoulder and leaned in real close, mumbling something to me.
Also his girlfriend once asked him to take a picture of me naked 'wearing' a frisbee.

>DM allows it
>not telling him to get out
>>43606519
Here's why, he's the one who arranged us all getting together, this is everyone's first group. We're just a group of friends who decided to have a go and our DM put a lot of work into the campaigns, he's not good at it but we can all tell he's really trying and he personally is having a really good time. We've run a few campaigns with him now and it's usually the same story but we have spoken to him about it before and sometimes he takes shit on board, it's only super recently where he's gone full magical realm and everyone's gotten sick of it.
>>43604888
>>43604902
I know it's a /tg/ bugbear, but this is a case where the DM should have let the Cleric fall. The player is an ass, but the DM let it tear the group apart by enabling it.
>>43607842
>DM rolls with That Guy's lolrandumb bullshit
>is a bro
Maybe you know him, and he's a nice guy, but he needs to pick up on his game if he can't deal with this shit. That Guy fucked over the party, and that's just straight bullshit.
>DM asks us who's our character
>"He's a goblin thief with a dagger"
>"He's a human paladin with a great sword"
>"He's a dwarf adventurer with a robot arm"
>"He Xantar, a dark elf prince that also can transform into a werewolf during blood moon. He's also a scotch connoiseur"
>>43609026
>3 boring fucks who just give their race and class name when asked to introduce their character
>one guy with an actual fleshed out backstory and personality
There's definitely a That Guy in that story, but probably not who you think it is
>>43609081
>one guy with an actual fleshed out backstory and personality
Not anon. I only heard powers, race mix and titles but nothing from personality and backstory.
>>43609548
>He's a scotch connoisseur
>He's a Dark Elf prince
>His name is Xantar
Not that anon, but come on man
>>43609803
Prince is practically a sub class and really? A name is already fleshed out? You think anon didn't just overlook the others name to get faster to the point?
>>43604380
I was hard not to giggle manically during the time he spent 4 sessions throwing lightening around.
>>43609803
>>He's a scotch connoisseur
>>He's a Dark Elf prince
>>His name is Xantar
I've never met a That Guy, or at least, never confirmed someone to be. It's kind of disappointing, I mean I know they're bad but it's one of those awful experiences I want to be able to talk about in hindsight later.
>>43610011
Does this mean the Dwarf's robot arm is a dildo?

>Here's why,
And here's why that's bullshit:
(And to clarify, I'm not the anon you're responding to and I am willing to believe your tale might have happened.
But it's still bullshit, and here's why)
I would have gotten halfway through the first line of greentext before saying something and stopping it right there.
At gimp suit, you lost me. You have zero sympathy from me.
There is no reason to include even one line of any that.in any non-erp game.
All you have to do is speak up, say that it is unacceptable to you, and either it stops or you leave.
I don't care that he formed the group and he put "a lot of work into the campaigns." that doesn't mean you have to sit through his masturbation fuel.
>We've run a few campaigns with him now and it's usually the same story... it's only super recently where he's gone full magical realm and everyone's gotten sick of it.
See, this is like having your friend pull your pants down and stick his fingertip in your ass.
You can say you don't like it and that you want him to stop, but if you don't move or push him away, he's just going to keep his finger there.
He'll push a little more, and you'll complain, and he'll apologize without removing his finger.
Then he pushes further and and you complain again, this time he gets angry and points out that he's barely past his knuckle.
This continues and at no point do you actually do anything to stop the situation.
Then you come on /tg/ and ask if your GM is a That Guy because he's been fisting your asshole for 5 months and has begun refusing to pay for the lube.
This is all of your own faults for allowing it.
Wait....
>he is also never allowed to take off his gimp suit or his balls will fall off.
You all took of your magical gimp suits didn't you?
>>43599125
Well Frank, it looks like...
>>43610182
Human has strong sense of JUSTICE!
Goblin just likes to hurt people.
>>43610436
... the Paladin falls.
>>43610361
So none of us have any balls because we were willing to humour our friend for a while because he only did weird shit occasionally, but now that it's become an actual constant issue we're dealing with it, starting a new campaign with him as a PC not the DM, and are going about it in a way not to get him down because we're grateful he got us into tabletops and made a genuine effort whilst DM'ing for us? Yeah alright.
Enjoy dinner alone tonight, anon.

Did you specify that you were playing Hunter, not Vampire?
Also what the fuck is with WoD that turns people into complete edgelords?
>>43610796
you mean APART from most of its systems being called Edgelord: the Edgelording?
>>43599725
That doesn't even sound like Magical Realm,like he's getting off on it, it sounds like he's making really stupid 'jokes' about sex. How old is this guy, 11?
>>43610449
hee
>>43610796
We did specify we were playing Hunter. We also discussed the possibility of future crossover games, like a mage or other supernatural creature working with a Hunter cell or something like that. Maybe this person deliberately ignored the "future" in "future game".
Because Vampire games, especially nWoD Vampire, are the epitome of gothic horror, which played poorly (that is to say, most of the time) can be edgelord supreme.

Glad we got rid of him then and there. Don't want to deal with some fag who tries to rp a fighter.

Why would you touch a player's character sheet without permission? Also a WIS 16 should make him a better role player than any of your other non-cleric characters.
>>43612222
It's an obvious joke story.Nice quads though.
>>43611999
Lovely satire. On a serious note, I love how 5e allows fighters to RP so much more effectively and contribute in social situations.
>>43612258
I know it was a joke. I'm focusing on the logical fallacies of character sheets being ruined and stuff like that.
>>43610182
So you are going to make some smith that makes hammers that only are useful when you use the hilt or bonesaws that fire cocks when used on a piece of sheet metal?
>>43612352
I can't tell if you're repeating the joke, or trying to analyze it.
>>43610636
Not anon but literally (not even abusing that word) all your complaints can be fixed by getting someone else to DM. Hell do it yourself, you've just been whining about how bad a broken ankle hurts without trying to take your weight off of it.

Seriously dude, have you and the other guy not been reading my posts? We have decided to get someone else to DM, I was just asking for input on the situation. I've said that we're getting someone else to DM like 3 times now. I'm glad a lot of people are on the same page we all were, we just didn't want to be a dick about it to the guy.
>>43600686
This is now a cringe thread.
>>43610636
I am >>43610361
>So none of us have any balls because we were willing to humour our friend for a while
Yes. You are all without balls.
To reuse my analogy, you let him worm his finger into your ass and didn't stop him, you humored him instead.
You let him enjoy himself at your expense because you would rather endure a bad situation than risk offending him with the truth that it needed to stop.
That's a pretty decent example of "not having any balls."
I'm not saying you had to slap his shit or call him a creep.
Hell, you could have been as polite as a timid Canadian and still stood up for your right to not have your game filled with magical realm.
To use a more vanilla example, if am playing an rpg at the GM's house and they insist on blaring thrash metal at a volume so loud that it hurts my ears, I will not humor him.
I will, very politely, ask my host to change the environment to one more suitable to me, by lowering the volume and possibly changing the music.
If he refuses or stops only to start again later, I will, very politely, explain that if it continues, I will leave because it is ruining the experience for me.
Then, and this part is important, if it continues, I will actually leave.
I will very politely excuse myself and say goodbye to the group for the evening.
Any attempt on your part to say that you were incapable of standing up for yourselves, out of gratitude or out of a desire to wait it out until you could avoid confronting the issue simply makes you sound, well...
>>43611871
>spineless and sad
I am glad your group is finally somewhat addressing the issue by removing him as GM, but that does not mean that the entire time you were humoring him wasn't time that you could all have enjoyed more if you had handled things differently.

hoo boy
>>43599842
You don't, you're either born with it, or not. Some say you get it via playing Counter decks in MTG, or going Mary Sue at and RPG. But correlation is not causation, they're wrong.
He's always looking at his fuckin' phone when it's not his turn to do stuff, and when he looks up he literally has to ask for a recap of everything we just discussed two minutes ago. Unless he looks up prematurely to interrupt the conversation with an out-of-character question about one of the spells he doesn't understand how to use. We have spell cards, which are crazy convenient, but he insists on not using them because he totally has this app on his phone! Every time the DM needs to check one of these spells because, again, That Guy doesn't understand them, it's quicker for the guy with all the decks to pick it out than for That Guy to find something he was just looking at. Also yesterday we realized he doesn't actually prepare any spells, he just says he has whatever is needed prepared every day.
Really Craig, you prepared Locate Object? Really? It doesn't do damage or heal you, or give you a way to flee from combat, so why would you have prepared it? Liar.
>>43613590
>He's always looking at his fuckin' phone
Anon you are triggering me.
I am a recovering copypasta addict regarding this subject.
I swore I would stop once an anon got excessively butthurt over my repetition.
(If a butthurt asshat on 4chan actually has decent points against what you are doing, you probably need reexamine some things.)
I will just say this:
When you are at the table, put the devices away. The End.

I did play with him a few more times but I know better now. He was my best friend.
The wizard in our party lost his sword in a fight and ended up using the arms of a dead skeleton as a weapon, so in reality he was using the cut off limbs of a guard to kill other guards.
>>43599725
Full Judge Dredd mode anon, it is the only way
>>43599725
So to the first two points, did he dictate to players their own characters' backgrounds/actions right-out, or did he have them mind controlled and forced to being deviants? It's an immediate STOP either way, but I would like clarity.

>>43614767
He basically retconned stuff into backstories between sessions, but they were always played for humour and at the time we weren't being too serious about it. It was only later that stuff like this became constant. In retrospect we should have nipped this in the bud before it became a bigger problem, at the time it was kind of funny, a bit.

>>43619187
Music being to loud was just a serviceable example anon.
Loud music is fine in the right setting and I've actually liked some thrash metal I've heard.
But having it turned up to 11 while trying to game seemed like a good analogy for that nonsense.
Also, not sure what you mean by "hall" in post.

I think this is the part were you guys could have avoided antagonizing him specifically the dm, not really you since you are quite new.
Maybe that guy may be a hopeless case but right now how I see that, the dm shouldn't go with threads and forced apologies but explain that you managed to realize on your own that you are meta gaming.
>>43610725

He already must have felt unwelcomed because nobody told him they liked having him around. Plus they constantly told your character they enjoyed having him. He saw the fireball as a chance to get revenge. I'm not saying he wasn't completely at fault but in hindsight you and your party brought it on yourself and it could've been avoided. I've been in almost the same situation.

Then what you need to do is create a shovel based character, or a throwing weapon based character who specialises in forks. Trust me, it will compliment his character.
>>43622589
What...
No!
Look, he created a 4e Vryloka Warlord (vampire) who didn't wash her vagina in 200 years and was rubbing it against everything and everyone.
He created a Changeling Wizard with a parrot familliar who flew backwards. She stuck her hand in Green Slime and almost died because she was gobbled up. He threw a tantrum and blamed everyone for her (almost and in 4e) death. After she was saved he didn't thank anyone.
As a DM he just gave out a magical dildo, it was still wet.
His behaviour was so... disgusting that we dubbed it after his name.
>>43615131
Since its happened before the GM is pretty good with dealing with it. What he did was say look you've betrayed the bbeg by coming here so keep your identity hidden. Of course he was incapable of doing that so the next time the bbeg saw him he punished him stripping him of his rank on the spot and disowning him. Of course the kicker was that this was pretty late into the campaign so we as a part were pretty sensitive to things associated with the bbeg so we quickly didn't trust him and routinely told him in character that we knew he was going to betray us and we would be happy to put him down.
The bbeg wouldn't kill him because it amused him to see the group experience friction. In the end we put him right after we killed the bbeg in a desperate mass conflict struggle.
If he were a regular dude not a super special pc he would have been able to come along to that sweet sweet reveal with us. Unfortunately we saw literally no reason our characters would trust him so we put him out of his misery.
The GM softened the blow by saying "don't be disheartened you have a feeling that marnid (his first char) is watching and this is what he would have wanted"
