>BBEG
Fuck this is so cringeworthy. Just call them "bad guys" or "villains" or something
What an odd thing to get upset about.
>>43929039
it's a naming convention, there is no harm in it.
>>43929039
Does it frustrate you? Are you upset? Having a bad time, perhaps? A little bit perturbed?
>>43929039
Why? Villains and bad guys sound like henchmen.
Cultists are bad guys, Satan is BBEG just to give you an example.
>>43929164
anon, stop feeding the troll

>>43929119
>>43929151
It's really lame though, especially when people use it to try and "fit in."
It really was one of the more cringe-inducing things a newfag would do in the past, and to watch them keep doing it now is just sad.
>>43929164
How does villain sound like a henchman?
And how does BBEG sound like anything aside from that you're lame as fuck?
>>43929229
So, your only problem with is that it sounds lame? Who is judging your hobbies, anon?
Want to talk about it?
I'm not a fan of the term just because it promotes the pardigm that RPGs have to be like video game levels, with a powerful boss fight at the end.

>>43929039
>Bad guys
Sounds like you're 12, and usually refers to grunts and henchmen or the evil organization as a whole.
>Villains
Better, but you want to make clear this is the end boss, the most important villain the party will face, more than the random minibosses or minor villains in the campaign.
"Antagonists"
"Opposing Force"
"Hostile NPCs"

That's dumb.
Don't be dumb.
>>43929684
Wait, just to be clear: is the complaint about BBEG being used on /tg/, or just being used as a term in RPGs in general?
>>43929161
what's this semen demon
You can have a villain that isn't the BBEG.
The BBEG is the first villain's superior. That's why this naming convention works.
>>43929606
>>43929846
Wait shit its Big Bad Evil Guy? I always thought it meant Big Bad End Game
>>43930278
Nah, it really means Big Buff Elven Girl.
Why you think OP gets triggered?
>>43929928
>The BBEG is the first villain's superior. That's why this naming convention works.
Except 99/100, it's not used that way. It's just used as a stupid way to say "villain."
>>43930317
Well it's not the word's fault then.
>>43929039
But stories have many antagonists, not all of them actually relevant to the plot.
BBEG is a easy and dependable way to identify who is going to be the ultimate antagonist of the story, rather than a lackey or a bandit.
>>43929897
It's a girl.
>>43930392
It's the fags that use it.
Also, even Whedon used Big Bad as just the "villain of the current arc," rather than the "Final Boss."
>>43930459
>is a easy and dependable way
Except it's not.
Beyond needing to explain what it means in the first place, you then have to follow it with "Hey, I actually mean the final final BBEG, not just the main BBEG."
It also makes you look pretty stupid for using it, and also really stupid for assuming everyone uses it in the narrow definition you do.
>>43930278
I for real thought it was Big Bad Enemy General. Huh, I dunno.
>>43929846
>>43930278
Big bad evil guy is pretty stupid, but I've never met anyone who uses BBEG to describe anything other than... well, the big bad end game.
>>43930300
I thought it was big breasted elven girl
>>43929332
I agree entirely, /tg/ is really tumblr-tier in its humor and lingo, and a lot of people literally use tvtropes memes. Fuck, half of threads these days are based on being triggered by 'magical realm' nonsense that never actually happens.
>>43931981
So, you haven't been on this site for longer than a day.
>>43929039
>>43929332
Let me fix that for you.
>BBEG -> Recurring villain/Main villain
>Mooks -> Goombahs/Cannon Fodder/Flunkies
>Demonic Spider
I have literally never heard anyone use 'Demonic Spiders' to identify enemies in an actual TTRPG. Maybe somehow my newstripes are showing, but still.
>Dragon -> Lieutenant
>>43930624
>final final BBEG, not just the main BBEG
You don't understand what a BBEG is.
The stereotype of a BBEG is basically something like Satan or Sauron. The evil overlord sitting on the throne made of pure evil, to whom all other lesser evils bow.
Even if a minor demon like Beelzebub is a major antagonist for your party, he's not the BBEG, because he works for somebody. The BBEG works for nobody, at least not in any way that matters to the current campaign.
It doesn't make anybody look stupid, because we all know what it means: the real villain of the campaign. And it's not always some demon lord, it could be a crime boss or a rogue mad scientist or patient zero of a zombie plague.
"BBEG" is a villainous persona equivalent to the word "macguffin." It refers more to a concept than an actual object or the qualities of an object. It's for the convenience of GMs and players everywhere. Yeah it's cliche, but it's a tool.
>>43932203
>I have literally never heard anyone use 'Demonic Spiders' to identify enemies in an actual TTRPG
If you actually put any ingame, the players tend to refer to them as "God damn it DM, why are you being such an asshole"
I usually just use "final boss" because it's prettry self explanatory to anyone who knows anything about games, but I really don't give a shit about what other popular terms other people use so long as they're consistant and clear with it.
>Big bad evil guy? Sure, okay cool. Let's get on with the game.
>>43929039
>having a plot so simple and childish that a "villain" even exists
>>43932290
Yeah, well, when I play (rather than GM) I personally like
>God dammit, why won't this thing die?
>>43932308
>I don't like thing!
>>43929039
>Trying to force others to conform to your standards
>>43929213
Its faster than typing Villain or antagonist. BBEG is just four letters, two of them are the same, and all of them are near the center of a keyboard, much faster and easier to type than antagonist or villain. This is like complaining about people typing IMO or DESU instead of spelling the words.
>>43932044
what's wrong with TVtropes tho?
>>43932478
/tg/, my campaign currently has two BBEGs.
My players complained that they weren't active enough and wanted a truly 10/10 rage-inducing bastard to hate, using pretty much any bullshit means allowed.
So, any tips on how I make their rectums cringe just by hearing the BBEGs names?
>>43932521
nice meme
>>43932478
A lot of the current constituents are apparently SJW or browse Tumblr or something.
>>43932308
This. Certainty is some bullshit mother told you about monsters so you would go to sleep.
>>43932534
ah, I thought it was a semi-obscure remnant of the old internet
that's a bit sad
>>43932523
Make it so they can never, ever harm him or catch him or inconvenience him in any way. Make him run from every fight and always have multiple backup escape plans that can never be fully foiled. Nothing frustrates players more than a challenge they can't solve.
>>43932523
Call them "BBEG"
>>43932523
He should hit them personally and hit them hard.
The sort of person you want to get rid of not because of some sort of sense of duty, but because that fucker stole your shit and killed that barwench you were trying to woo and ruined your reputation.
Make them difficult but not impossible to capture, and make them powerful. The team should not be able to win a scrap with them when they first meet.
>>43932308
>He doesn't realize that protagonist and antagonist is subjective
>NPC
Fuck this is so cringeworthy. Just call them "DM controlled fictional personas" or "Denizens of the game world that are strictly not the players" or something.
>>43932431
The problem is, all you end up communicating is that you're a fag.
And boss is also four letters, two are the same, and you don't even have to hit shift.
>>43932273
You are trying to create a definition, except no one uses it the way you do.
Seeing as this thread is shit, lts turn it into something productive.
Who are some neat BBEGs that you've faced over the years /tg/?
>>43932884
Evil Version of pic related.
He was nearly unstoppable.
>>43932884
Sadly, most of my campaigns have been shitty enough that we barely had any direction, much less a consistent enemy.
There was that one time the DM plopped a Mandalorian he seemed to be planning on making a recurring enemy in front of us.
Started up some speech or other before one dude decided he had had enough of playing his lolrandumb character and rushed said boss with all of his thermal detonators, blowing a hole in the side of the ship.
We got out, barely.
>>43932884
A guy who wanted to erase the concepts of grief and guilt so that he could escape the things he did in the past.
In his words

>>43932762
NPC is a technical term, not slang.
>>43932308
Why did you say that and post an image of a villain then?
>>43932884
My party had to deal with its former employer, an eccentric wizard moneybags who was purported to be sitting around a level 20, we were level 3 at the time
>>43932909
Judge Death?
>>43933002
And he never thought about, I don't know, confessing what he had done to someone and try to heal from there?
Destroying a whole emotion for everyone just to sleep better at night is just so far beyond overkill I can't even see it from here.
He better have done some pretty fucked-up shit to even begin justifying that.

>>43933050
Nah, dude was completely human just batshit insane and really really tough.
>>43932884
The only BBEG my group ever actually faced was some weirdo who could rework the Rulebook and whose endgoal was to kill us. Not the party. The players and the DM. It was all very strange and meta and it collapsed at the end because of real world drama.
>>43932909
Oh shit. Now I'm thinking about what kind of villain would be the evil version of this guy.
>>43932536The fuck kind of lame-ass mother did you have?
Sure. Which is why we would never encounter them in, I don't know, stories, fantasy, or the mythology and fairy tales that inspired them.
>>43929039
"Cringeworthy" is probably the most cringeworthy word I can think of. Just say "annoying" or "uncomfortable" or something.

>>43929268

>>43933064
>Implying that people who are powerful enough that destroying an entire emotion is a viable plan need to follow the same standards of overkill that everyone else does.
>>43933167
I have a villain like that, kinda.
He wants a world like that- just for him.
Like a little pocket dimension he can play Sims with forever.
Because he's a fucking control freak after going insane and believing he had the life he 'deserved' stolen from him.
>>43932766
Boss is less descriptive. Is it the big boss? Is it the midboss? Are the PCs working for some organization and anon is referring to their superior there?
BBEG is short and suitably descriptive, with only the downside of people need to already be familiar with the term (or use Google) to know what you mean.
As for people using it to try to fit in, that can be done with pretty much anything, so IDK why your panties are in such a twist over this.
>>43933180

His only real fault was being a terrible husband and workaholic after he found the Eliacube.
It was his wife's decision to move to an island barely above sea-level when the water levels were rising.
It sounds like Baba Yaga in Russian. Fuck off.
>>43933220
There's multiple downsides.
Starting with you sound like an idiot.
Followed by Big Bad Evil Guy is descriptive, but needlessly, and not even close to being useful for signifying "End Boss."
Why does he need to be Big? Or Bad? Or Evil? Or even a Guy? And what part of that signifies that he's the final villain?
It's like saying "Yeah, my HHWF is a... what, you don't know what a HHWF is? It's a Happy Human Who Fights. You'd know that if you licked cocks like I do."
Just call them PCs like everyone else, and don't be a fag.
>>43933167
>it was one of /those/.
Who?
>>43933262
I'm sorry, I really don't see how you could take it any other way.
/tg/ should get together and make an rpg we can all agree on. It should be all about defeating people's fetishes and correcting people's behavior ans language. We'll call it "I don't like thing", and the aim of the game is to be as salty about stupid shit as possible. Pic related, it's the cover art.
>>43933378
>Starting with you sound like an idiot.
No you don't.
>>43932884
My favorite BBEG I've ever run was just an omnipotent entity that gave the PCs whatever they wanted. Didn't even monkey paw them.
>>43932478
>what's wrong with TVtropes tho?
It's popular, so trolls can get replies by denouncing it.
>>43933378
So, what's your point here? That people should stop using BBEG?
Good fucking luck with that.
>>43933385
You know, those villains who "just want to make everyone happy" - usually by altering the basic nature of the universe and trapping everyone in a dream reality where everything is perfect.
This usually means the heroes have to make like pic related for a while and remind folks that reality is somehow sacred.

>>43932203

Alternatively: PC plans.

Usually they're differentiated form normal enemies or something.

I could see that, but it gets the point across and is semi-catchy. Plus I have yet to hear anything better.
>Or even a Guy
I've also seen it used where the g stood for girl or gal, so as an abbreviation it's relatively gender-neutral (I don't know of anything for it to be used to refer to agendered villains, but nothing's perfect).
>HHWF
PCs are not neccesarily happy or Human, yet the final villains of things have been referred to as the "big bad" or "big bad ___" for ages, probably due in large part to the Big Bad Wolf.

Because they make a couple thousand little vague boxes and argue constantly about which boxes everything belongs into, when most things are more complicated than their little boxes let on.
>>43933644
Basically, it means "annoyingly difficult common enemy". Think along the lines of Hammer Bros.; they aren't even bosses, but they'll kill the fuck out of you even if you are careful.
And yes, TvTropes has a lot of bullshit (actually covering fan fiction, postmodernism, lame attempts at humor, hugboxing, coming up with "witty" names for things that already have names), but it does have its uses. As a general rule, they'd rather gush about things they do like than bitch about things they don't like (the anti-4chan, in other words). At the very least, you can look at something they like and take it as an example of what not to do.

"Villain" describes someone's role in a story. The importance of a villain is that he's the antagonist and his actions drive the protagonists towards a resolution. He doesn't necessarily need to be defeated. The "BBEG" on the other hand is the final opposition to the protagonists. It's not as important that he be the driving force in the story, merely that he is the last obstacle to be overcome. A BBEG is always confronted at the end of a story, by its definition. It's big, it's bad, and it's at the end of the story.
The two are often the same thing but not always. Examples:
Most Mario Games: Bowser is the villain and the BBEG. He's the reason Mario is on his quest and you confront him at the end of the game. After you defeat Bowser there are no more challenges. The story is complete.
FFX: Seymour is the villain but not the BBEG, which is Sin. Sin's not really a villain though because it works more like a force of nature through the story than an antagonist with goals in opposition to the characters.
Feel free to disagree but that's how I see it.

Basically this. This is how my group has always used the term BBEG.
I just call them antagonists and I've never seen the point in having some end boss villain pulling the strings.
>>43935734
It was a simile in a riddle, if I recall.
>>43935722
This.
"Final boss" or "Final villain" does not suit anyone's needs, as the campaign might not end with a fight, but rather trying to stop an explosion or cheat your way through a card game or pull off a heist. There doesn't need to be some fucking boss battle with the chief of police or whatever.
And the villain might not even be final. The campaign could continue with a new plot and new villain.

We never ended up really beating him, and only got into a physical fight with him once, during which he started throwing miniature black holes at us, so we just got what we needed and booked it.He was being manipulated by an ancient AI into starting a war with the ruling government as part of a science experiment, then left him to hang at the end of it. At the end of the campaign, my character, now a SPAAACE Overlord himself, set out to find him and stab him, repeatedly.

>I (and apparently most people on this board) disagree with you there.
No, only the idiots who actually use the term and are actively trying to defend it.
Most only silently judge you.

Both of you need to quit making up statistics to make it seem like you're the majority. A lot of fucks do that on this site too.

My last game went ok, I had fun with the players and went all out Xenogears on some shit in a setting with angels and demons. The Voice of God, who was also the prototype human, ended up murdered by Lucifer. That much was already setting canon.
I had it so instead of just dying and dissipating like most beings do, since she was the goddamn Voice of God, I figured she fragmented horribly across time and space. She went insane wanting revenge; that part of her ended up in Hell and served Lucifer trying to regather all her lost bits of soul so she could ascend back to Heaven and use her power as the Voice to basically shut God out and end existence so she'd stop hurting from being ripped across timespace.
One of her other major fragments was this forever wandering human woman who ended up with the PCs; one of the PCs all along turned out to be a failed experiment to clone the Voice of God to try to fix the slowly dying world.
In the end, they all chose mercy, and before the Throne of God after they chased the Voice back there to the start of time, they helped her become whole again and forgive Lucifer, who himself was slowly dying from being torn apart by the guilt of having murdered her (it was the only thing the Dark Lord had ever regretted in his entire existence).
There was a lot of crying and dropping of weapons. It was nice and a very hard won Good End, and also nice because it was the whole Hidden War theme where they were the only ones who ever knew this while all the big players went about thinking they knew the score.

That riddle Gollum asks. Thirty white horses on a red hill, first they champ, then they stamp, then they stand still.
There was an anon a few months ago who got really upset at riddles because their clues weren't to be taken literally.

The use of literally in that sentence is the correct usage. Literally means that it is actually occurring in the exact way described, which is what was intended by its use. People on /tg/ literally use tvtropes memes, as evidenced by this fucking thread, for instance. Pay attention.
Obviously I was using triggered in a facetious manner, to insult the people who are upset about something like that, and much of /tg/'s lingo and humor is indeed of the same caliber, if not based on exactly the same memes, as tumblr's.

BBEG was in usage before TV Tropes.

A lot of shit was in use before TV Tropes. That's how they got half of their shitty, watered down, and grossly banal catalogue of snappy phrases from to begin with.

Fuck this is so cringeworthy. Just call them "little girls" or something
>>43933378
>just use PC like everyone else
That's the same fucking thing as BBEG though, you shorten a phrase because it's applicable to so many situations. Pretty much every story ever has some kind of primary antagonist and rather than spell out the specific kind of character it is, it's easier to just type BBEG and everyone instantly knows what your talking about.
Your real argument is

You sound like such a faggot when you say fag instead of faggot, why don't you just type out the whole word, you cock sucking faggot?

>being this stupid
Are you attached to an assisted breathing apparatus? Because I have a hard time picturing someone as stupid as you even knowing how to breathe.
It's like you can read something and miss every point, but still have the confidence to make a stupid reply. A reply which is so stupid, that all that needs to be said in response would be to reiterate all the points you missed because you are just that goddamn stupid.
Holy fuck, I just can't get over how stupid you are. I almost wish some nurse would just do the world a favor and flip the switch on your machine.

Pattern them after Shane. It's not about raw power, it's about constantly slipping between their fingers and always being twelve steps ahead.

IIRC it's a doujin about this hero who attacks a demon (the loli) and she's like 400 years old and is making fun of the hero for being a failure and pedophile.

It's a bunch of people who probably register on the autism spectrum who argue about (sometimes very complicated) ideas in all of fiction and try to pigeonhole everything they possibly can. Then Wikipedia syndrome set in at some point, and aspies kept trying to one up each other by making up new pigeonholes just so they could get their "pages written" count up.

We once fought a floating consciousness of a long dead arch druid that wanted to return the world to nature. It would bring wooden buildings to life and controlled swarms of animals.
The final fight was something like a swarm of more than 400 owlbears
