So not exactly the best way to end a session. The humans say everyone who touched or cut something with a sword is at fault and has to pay my vet bill, don't know the price yet. That Weeb who doesn't know how to use 'whom' is most at fault according to That Sperg because he was the one who brought the prop sword there. As for me, I'm fine... EXCEPT I HAVE SIX FUCKING STITCHES ON MY FACE! FUCK ALL OF YOU, I'D TELL YOU TO SUCK MY BALLS IF I STILL HAD THEM!
TL;DR I got hit in the face with a sword and I'm gonna shit all over the floor for rest of the year.

What kind of shit-tier demon gets forged into a (FAKE) replica katana? You deserve every missed chance at weeb blood you get.

It's actually backwards, my straight-edged friend.
I was forged into a replica katana first, and then became a genuine demon blade because of my hatred for weebs.

Tanked hit like a champ, from what I heard. Got to local doggo cleric (a cleric that fixes doggos, not a cleric who is a doggo) and first aid check autopassed without complication. Now Cleric bill is being split between guy who brought sword and guy who swung sword. Doggo is resting to recuperate health.

While it's crappy that they fucked up a team effort this isn't necessarily the worst course of action if they're the party face and the bandits aren't cartoonishly hostile.
>>46619066
If the druid pretended to be alone that could work pretty well as a distraction too.
But considering that he didn't discuss this plan with the others I find the likelihood they thought it through to be slim.
To this day I have never seen a That Guy.most likely I'm one but no one has openly complained about me for the most part.. But the group is getting a new player and some things seems iffy to me.
Can you help me /tg/? what are the most common red flags?
Please enlight me so that I may mentally prepare accordingly.

Was a prewritten adventure, which said that the bandits attack on sight - and why wouldn't they, given their hideout has been discovered? I did need to fudge it a bit to let them escape, warning shots fired. Didn't help that he pulled the exact same shit the next session with a goblin and half-ogre.
Next time, I think I might just let him die.
>>46619632

I- I- I just think it's better to have more friends than less. Plus, in a murderhobo/nothing personnel kid group, someone has to try to ensure we're not run out of every town.

Is everything you do narrated in green text, do you keep seeing arrows pointing at you if you look to the right, and is the world you inhabit a fictional or exaggerated narrative?
If not, you're fine. If so, you might be encountering a That Guy.

They make decent projectiles too.

Trouble is, that he is turning the group into the complete opposite of murderhobo - I refer to them as my diplomacyhobo party right now. As I said, I am running a published adventure, which generally are written with Murderhobos in mind to make the most of the mechanics. I didn't think this would be a problem because I just assumed that they were going to go full murderhobo since it is their first time playing.
Plus, he wasn't doing it out of some attempt to lure them out; he told me later that he had no idea those were the bandits... He just assumed they were other guys, heavily armed, hanging out in the area where bandits have been attacking people...

And that is why the DM never describes writing that is not plot important

What happened next?
>>46620483
Last session, we ditched the town. Game's picking back up next thursday.
>>46620625
Tell your DM to keep doing this shit until rogue figures it out. It'll both be funny and educational.
>>46619164
Depends on the group about 50% of the time, honestly. What passes as obnoxious That Guy behavior in a FLGS group may be acceptable or at least easily tolerated in a group of your buddies you knew since high school.
>>46620391
Why is the rogue that guy?
Seems like an actual reasonable action, even though he could call for for back up.
>And that is why the DM never describes writing that is not plot important
How could this NOT be plot related, when the books describes their quest giver as vampire lichwhatever that might be
What compelled the dm to give the bandits this book, which does have such strange, yet false informations?

Not with That weaboo's katana you can't
>>46622171
I think you missed the part about where it's insane ramblings. If you find a book scrawled with STOLE THREE CHEESES RATS WONT FIND ME and LOCAL NOBLE EATS GOLD SHITS DEAD CHILDREN and decide to stab a guy over it, you're probably loose a few screws yourself.
Plus doing it solo. If he actually thought, hey, it's perfectly reasonable that this guy is a vampire lich bad guy, he'd probably have spoken to the team about it to figure out what to do. Instead he just ups and stabs the guy, without telling or consulting anyone. Why?
>>46622171
>everything in the world is relevant to the plot.
Stop this. Sometimes things are fluff. Sometimes you notice something interesting that is completely irrelevant to the storyline. The entire world revolving around your characters is the sign or poor and lazy storytelling.
Yes, the story is about the PCs but that doesn't mean that the world is all about them.
>>46620694
I dunno, one of the party members was pretty pissed because the noble did owe us a favor.
>>46622171
Basically >>46622251
The DM added the book for fun, thinking it would be funny to give low INT bandits something to do on their idle time
>>46622251
Thats not necessarily That Guy. Is ot something a rogue would do? Probably, because rogues like loot. Is part of the archetype.
Yes its a bit foolish that he believed in the incoherent scribbling of madman, but maybe he isn't the wisest of characters.

>>46623013

>>46622347
How should the players know that?
Adding fluff is Ok but what made the gm think the players don't consider this as a plot point?
Granted I don't know the closer circumstances what he wrote, but even if that bandit king sounds crazy he just might gone crazy from the revelation or something.
>>46622224

>>46623798
Oh, sweet summer child, you would go through all six clones in Paranoia in under thirty seconds.
The game master does not need to have all information written down be true; he can have some of it be false.
In any game of intrigue or even most murderhobo games NPCs may lie or be incorrect.
Would you complain if bandits searching for the party lied about not shooting them "on their honour as thieves and murderers"?
>>46625167
Uh, I think you got the wrong thread, /r9k/'s like two boards down.
>>46626191
>Oh, sweet summer child, you would go through all six clones in Paranoia in under thirty seconds.
A good thing I adjust my character to the behaviour.
>The game master does not need to have all information written down be true; he can have some of it be false.
You get something wrong.
I don't say the gm should never spread false information.
I say the gm was foolish to believe the player wouldn't take the information serious.
If he considered this possibility he is not foolish but the rogue is still not that guy if he wants to take actions against a possible threat. Rashly, yes but not that guy-ish.
>>46623798
Even if it is some sort of a plot point, why would he believe everything the guy they just shanked wrote in his diary as 100% unquestionable truth?
>>46623013
So, like I explained in a previous that guy/that gm thread, we changed system from Anima BF to PF, and my Technician/Tao is now a Monk, not even unchained because GM doesn't feel "comfortable" with so many manuals, so, how do you explain ingame that you went from facing straight any threat and be the best combatant in the country, to literally be useless as a toddler and probably weaker than the daughter of the blacksmith? Supposedly nothing change in the world, no magical storm, no spellplague, nothing. I was thinking all my life was actually a dream and in reality my character is paraplegic or something, like the end of Captain Tsubasa.
>>46626987
And by "we" changed I mean GM arbitrarily changed system becasue unexplained reasons, probably because he likes 3.PF so much.
>>46626987
Just quit dude, your character is completely fucked and your GM is either a moron or an asshole.
>>46626987
It's simple.
You kill the DM.
>tfw after so many bad experiences with that gms and that guys you have some sort of PSTD and you overreact at any tiny problematic situation
I became a That Guy
(This reply is made from the one that hurt the doggo) The entire situation went down hill so quickly because of one person. Yes, the person who brought the sword to begin with. He initially didn't own up to paying the vet bill, but as of recent events and hearing from other people he says he will. But the one thing he didn't mention was that he was drinking at the session when the swords where being played with. Hopefully we can all look back on this and learn from it.
>>46620391
