'My mother was slut and my high school sucked.'
Definitely a justifiable reason for a completely normal person to go and beat people up with a baseball bat. Truly he has seen the stinking darkness of humanity's true nature now that he's 18 years old. Tell him to redo it and use this character as a supervillain that won other villains over to his side by being utterly unrelatable and subscribing to a poorly understood, bankrupt philosophy. You know, like Donald Trump.
>>46754821
Psh, nah, that sucker isn't worth even as a villain. He's a miniom.
>>46754136
Almost expected a "Linkin Park blasting in the distance" somewhere in there.

>>46756085
Was that a roll20 thing? Because I swear to god I've heard stories about a guy like that before.
>>46754136
Turn him into Jacket.
One hit-kills and ability to respawn, but dies from one hit.
>>46757076
They are everywhere.
>>46757164
But that's having POWERS and being able to actually DO THINGS, how are you supposed to relate to such unreal character?!
>>46756085
Ok I only played Vampire once and also that famous videogame, WoD is really not my thing. But isn't the point of the game about being edgy monsters/wizards and shit? What's the point of playing with mortals?
>>46757429
Being hunters I guess? Or CoC-like investigators?
>>46757429
The only time I ever ran wod (my party convinced me to despite my protests) the characters were vampire druglords working with the mexican cartels in miami. Turns out wod is ok when people aren't trying to be "NyghtFyre, Prince of Drakness".
>>46756085
Are playing with Steven Seagal or one of his scriptwriters?
>>46757657
I actually ended up in a campaign like that once myself, but we did have one Nyghtblud Ravyn, Dark Midnight Husband to Lady Death type character in the party. However; the player was super self-aware and the character ended up being incredibly funny and sometimes a great help to the party.

>>46758285
Batman has the power of putting everything into skills, knowledge, and perks. I don't think you can relate to a billionaire martial artist master who also has a doctorate in every subject imaginable while also being a inventor.
/tg/, am I that guy?
I think my DM is getting annoyed that I keep derailing the campaigns by turning them into impromptu musicals.
Sometimes I go ahead and prepare scripts for the other players, and we'll turn the session into a sing-along.
Last time I did this, the campaign kinda turned into Legally Blonde: The Musical...
>>46758437
Yes and no.
Although that is hilarious and if the other players like it, that's fine. However you are still derailing the campaigns on purpose.
>>46758437
If you're sincerely worried about being That Guy, you can't be That Guy.
Talk to the DM to make sure it's not getting on his nerves. If he says it's fine, don't worry about it.
If he says it's fine when it clearly isn't, that's his problem.
>>46758437
You're pretty That Guy.
Things like this are amusing once in a while, on a small casual scale, but if you do it more than once, and you do it often, you're derailing the campaign, and you're doing it on purpose.
>>46756085
>>46757861
>>46758437

>>46758437
If your DM spends any time at all on prep, that is going to be pretty obnoxious if it happens regularly.
Like, I'm assuming he's not in on the joke. He came to game night thinking you guys were going to chuck dice instead of karaoke.
>playing GURPS
>guy got mad OOC anytime someone would RP disadvantages

he also got mad at choices some people made in combat cuz they weren't being helpful enough. He also blamed other people for that campaign failing for the longest time.

/tg/. Does diverting funds for weeks on end, learning dark magic to summon a skeletal army, managing finances and secretly buying construction materials, purchasing obscene amounts of alcohol, and various other things count as being "That Guy"?
Does it make me "That Guy" if I used said skeletal army to build myself an beachside pool and hotsprings through a dimensional portal in our base?
And then had the skeletal army throw a rave (it was for their union required break) and then challenge the party to a dance battle to keep them busy while the rest of them finished building my beach side pool?
>>46758776
None of that's funny or clever. Just so you know.

My only experience with That Guy ended with said That Guy kicked. Of course, he was kicked for throwing a massive fit when we didn't let him bring his magical realm into a fresh campaign.
The character was a warforged prostibot, if anyone was wondering. You read that right. Prostibot. He wanted to play a Warforged hooker.
>>46758705
>a PC being self absorbed and putting his party in danger while simultaneously destroying the encounters he's presented with
DM changes "That Guy's" alignment to Chaotic Good / Lawful Evil. Don't trust him around explosives. Taking it out on the player IRL is just idiotic unless they're actually ruining the game. Sounds like he's just being a clever cunt.
tl;dr :: IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A PLAYER IN-GAME, SOLVE IT IN-GAME WITHOUT STOOPING TO THEIR LEVEL.
>>46758945
They DID solve it in game. After he proceeded to do it again, after it being made clear that the party and GM disapproved of his actions, then they kicked him. Actually read the post before commenting.
>>46754136
>nope, he posts how he can only relate to completely normal people that only have common sense to rely on and how that will be adding a valuable dimension to the story
>Life has been hard on him, and constant psychological torment has mutilated his conscience to the point that it is difficult for him to empathize with people normally.
One of these things is not like the other
I've had a few encounters with either that guy, that girl, or that GM.
1. I did a Rogue Trader game that ended when the GM decided to go full magic realm. Invited a trap friend who became the ship's Missionary. They decided that the best way to honor the god emperor was with orgies on my ship's mid deck. Then the GM and the trap turned on their webcams while they described the sex. Going to let you all draw your own conclusions on what happened next.
2. Had a warhammer fantasy game with rotating GMs. Their biggest sin, to me, was this. I once asked one of them for an opportunity to be presented that would give my character the chance to develop into a better person. They told me "It's not my job to develop your character for you". One session later, the GM's GMPC was swarmed with refugees from his country who helped change his way of thinking. Later, the other GM's GMPC found a representative of his character's God in a country where there was no feasible way for it to be there and became a priest.
3. In a Pathfinder game, the DM allowed his girlfriend to play. She proceeded to be unsatisfied with every class on offer because she wanted to heal and only heal. DM had to find her a 3rd party class. She then decided she wanted to be the 'face'. This caused dialogue to come to a grinding halt. When my character, who had max ranks in diplomacy, spoke to speed things along, she got very angry.She got passive-aggressive and quiet every time I did anything other than hit things.
4. When I was playing Mage 20th, a guy decided he wanted to play a genius who was a master of forces, specifically fire magic. His character worked to be the best fire mage ever his whole life. He began to get really snide OOC about how awesome he was. During the first combat encounter, he killed half the party with a fireball because he didn't devote a success to keeping it off of the party. Then he acted like it was our fault, got pissed when we explained he should look up mechanics and left.
>>46759023
>drop him into a dimension and fill it with skinrending spiders
because that's supposed to solve the situation without alienating anyone :^)
>>46759250
I know it's Rogue Trader and Imperial restrictions are somewhat "looser" but you really could have resolved that by granting the obvious Slaaneshi cultist impersonating a Ministorum official, the Emperor's mercy.
>>46758776
Probably. Unless you're playing a really shitty freeform type of game with a bunch of 13 year olds.
>>46758942
Why would you not allow that?
>>46759515

Because none of us share his magical realm. and because he was obnoxious about it and kept asking questions on how big he should make her metallic boobs.
>>46757076
Yes, roll20. That fucker has been doing the rounds there for years and every second group I find, has a story of his faggotry.
I think another anon once posted a story about him trying to enter a serious politicking game as a teenager that was the best sniper that ever lived and his rifle was made out of magic. And yes, he was serious about it.

Batman confirmed as "That Guy".
(AKA Techno-Ninja Sherlock Holmes)
>>46759795
I had met a girl ST that told me in her group's first game, he was playing a werewolf and put in his backstory that he killed Bin Laden.
I called bullshit, and she sent the proof.
Sadly she removed me from skype now, so no txt for /teeg/.
>>46759979
I simply can't believe that this person isn't a troll.
>>46759930
Except that Batman is the "hero" of the story. He has plot armor, PCs do not. The POINT of comic books is that whole "justice prevails" schtick. The point of roleplaying is invinite possibility, not one.
>>46760036
Apparently not only is he not, but he also gets GREATLY OFFENDED when things go bad for his characters.
Which reminds me of another WoD related That Guy, but I'll give you the works tomorrow. It's about 4 hours into the "why am I awake" hours over here.
>>46759979
Yeah, there is no proof anyone killed Bin Laden.
>>46760289
Can we at least agree that whoever killed Bin Laden wasn't a werewolf marine?
>>46760322
Of course.
Could have been a werewolf SEAL though.
>>46760436
>>46760194
So PCs aren't the "heroes" of the story? kek

>Anon, you should run Star Wars!
>They have a specific era, scenario, and cast of characters that they point out.
>If you love this setting so goddamn much, why don't you run it?
40k is trash anyway, Anon.
>>46763135
The fact is, time after time nobody ever wants to run their dream RP. They want to participate in it, be one of the characters in the group that goes on all the adventures. I'm not going to lie, I even do this as a GM and usually roll an NPC that is basically my character and they join the party and everything so I can play along too, but it's just never as fun as being unaware of the grand story as it unfolds before you.
GMs are best as keepers of secrets. Sure, there's an art to setting the encounters right or making sure everybody gets to use their skills or giving each character a chance to shine-- but the thing that really gets RP going is holding onto those plot points and drawing everything into the web of story, creating a rich and interactive world for the players even if it means you have to write material that will never see the light of day.
>>46762818
Pardon my ignorance, but how is RT easier to manage? Aren't things less structured,yhat they can pack up and leave and pursue a greener opportunity pretty much any time they wish?
Furthermore, I think some or all of my problem is systemic; just not getting the logic of 40k rather than anything in particular. For instance, this was the overview for my last aborted attempt.
>Acolyte players investigating this one planet where things have been going on a bit weird.
>The system is reasonably well developed, no hives or anything ultra-specialized, a "normal" world.
>One of the few features of wider note, however, is a couple of ad-mech shrines, where they principally did research in development/creation/enhancement of Skitarrii.
>A couple of decades prior, the Orks invaded, pretty bigtime
>There was a response, Astartes and tons of guard, who beat up most of the Orks, but didn't fully wipe them out before having to be yanked out for other commitments.
>The remaining Orks have been a nuisance for ages, but haven't risen to the level of existential threat that would justify further intervention.
>Planetary governor is trying to fix things, in between screaming for help, but eventually realize that it's beyond his capabilities and the wider Imperium doesn't care.
>Eventually manages to obtain a bit of some of the processing that the AdMech uses for their Skitarii, and applies it to certain units in the PDF
>Enhanced PDF members are finally able to deal with the Orks, wiping them out about a decade prior to them being sent in.
>However, they can't really adjust to a non-war footing, and are causing more problems, but of a different sort of Ork raiding.
Players got sent in because of a sudden decrease in Orkish attacks as well as request for help, following a sudden rise in internal dissatisfaction and sabotage and terrorist attacks, leading to worries that someone else from outside had subverted the planetary government.
>>46761257
>responding to your player's express desires
That was your first mistake.
>>46763652
I'm not seeing a problem there.
>>46754136
>Incognito/Anonymous, for his identity is concealed. We are anonymous...
The cringe is real.
>>46763898
According to my 2 40k players, it is "bullshit on several levels"
Apparently, a planetary governor is supposed to be way stupider and more useless than the one I played as, and would not have the resources or capabilities to steal research from the AdMech, or to enhance his own soldiers if he did do so. This is also apparently "too small beans" for an Inquisitor, or in their case, his staff, who apparently aren't supposed to be doing investigation and trying to puzzle clues together, but rather just shaking answers out of people and blamming the heretics or blowing up their world. And there were also objections that I "didn't include Chaos" which would undoubtedly get all up in some sort of enterprise like this.
I don't really have enough perspective to determine how reasonable any of these complaints are, but it was bad enough that it started another set of arguments and them pulling out of the game.
>>46758945
>forced alignment change
>in a system that doesn't use alignment
dumb D&Dposter
>>46758351
holy shit son
>>46764018
they sound like fucking niggers
One of the players in the L5R game I'm running has interpenetrated "Lol scorpions are assholes" as "I should blatantly insult the local damiyo we were sent to assist to his face.", and literally the only reason I didn't murder his character is because the party currently works for the Otomo princess, who the damiyo was terrified of. Am I justified in having him be challenged to a duel if he does something similar again?
>>46764018
faggot players detected. While incompetence is systemic in the Imperium, it isn't omnipresent. As for it being "small beans," while it's true that it's a bit small for this to have been brought before the inquisition, an inquisitor who just so happened to find out about it would be free to investigate. And as for investigation methods: inquisitors do what they want. If the inquisitor wants the investigation low-key, then it'll be a proper investigation, not just a series of shake-downs. In fact, most of the Black Library books involving the Inquisition that I read had them sing spy networks to piece together clues, only using blatant force when unavoidable. So fuck your players. As long as the governor gets in some serious shit for tech-heresy (for stealing admech tech and using it inappropriately), I see literally nothing wrong with what you ran.
>>46764246

>>46763652
Would you set that up as roll20 campaign and post the application link here? I sense a lot of interest.
>>46761257
Why would you even kill the guy's character in the first place? I'd have told the group to man the fuck up and talk to him about it, and if they refused basically just drag them and the other guy together and start the conversation for them.
Passive-aggressive stuff like killing peoples' characters is likely to both have them not get the message and get people pissed off, as it sounds like you saw.

>>46768592
Well, you've gotten into quite a pickle. If you boot him based on bare suspicion, it'll sour the moods of other players.
How would you feel about other players waifuing NPCs? Have they done so in this game? If disapprove and haven't, you can put forth a total ban to force him to back down.
>>46764018
Please ask your players "what is the Severan Dominate?" and proceed.
This isn't complaining about things not being canon, but not being typical, standarized trash.
>>46768652
I dont mind romancing of NPCs, but previous experience of furries and from hearing others accounts, he wont stop obsessing until he gets more than just "fade to black"
Also like I said he keeps going on about her to me, which Iv already told him to cut out
>>46768684
Well. I presume you've already removed waifu from ever showing in the game.
After that, just repeatedly tell him to shut up about her. Just ironclad "she's never showing up, forget it".
Alternatively, have a villain kill her.
That may make him explode and give you a chance to boot him out.
Alternatively, let him waifu, boot him the moment he goes above the ftb line.

>a planetary governor is supposed to be way stupider and more useless than the one I played as
Your players need to be gently shaken by the lapels and asked what they have been smoking. If idiocy was a prerequisite for governor-hood then literally nothing would ever get done in the Imperium fucking ever.
> would not have the resources or capabilities to steal research from the AdMech
Again, there's Governors and then there's Governors, all with different backgrounds, talents, political connections and opportunities. For that matter, there's AdMech and then there's AdMech. He could have swiped it from a smaller sub-faction without the mainstream resources to protect themselves, or maybe, given that he seems to have put the tech to practical use, a lower-level TechPriest might even have jumped ship to the Governors side and brought the tech with him.
> ''too small beans'' for an Inquisitor
Inquisitors are the ones who decide what size the beans are. If their Inquisitor thinks there's something worth investigating, they investigate.
> ''didn't include Chaos''
A canny and intelligent Planetary Governor is involved in a treacherous plan of some kind. Even if there's no Chaos CULT directly involved, I still smell the foul feathery fingers of Tzeentch in this pie. Expose the ruse, reduce the amount of deception and lies in the galaxy by a miniscule amount, your still fighting Chaos, even in a tiny way.
Shake the players. SHAKE THEM. And then explain that if they spot something out of place or confusing in an investigation game, they should INVESTIGATE IT IN CHARACTER, not complain about it.

>>46760271
Once upon a time, in the faraway land of roll20, some faggotry was afoot. This anon had decided to induct people to Vampire: the Requiem. Most of my players were shitheaded flakes, leaving me with only two for the starting session. That Guy shed his disguise.

Also had another point to make, and maybe not a positive one. You may just have to accept that this particular game just won't happen in any satisfactory kind of way.
40K is one of those settings that A - attracts a notoriously nit-picky and anal-retentive crowd when it comes to canon, and B - shot itself in the fucking face when it came to pleasing that sort of fanbase by contradicting it's own canon left, right, and centre. Any individual fan of 40K is going to have their own personal view on the way that the setting should be, influenced by which edition they started playing the game in, which army books they read at that time, which authors novels they chose to pick up. The setting is rife with details that have become outdated or outright impossible as new writers and developers have made their mark on the setting, from minor things like ''of all the Blood Angels only the Chapter Master may wear golden armour/they have have a whole specialist Honour Guard wearing pimp gold'' to really major, profound background information, like ''The imperial creed has major catholocism parallels and the commoners of the Imperium honor the fact that he sacrificed the wholeness of his body in battle against Horus/the Inquisition supresses knowledge of the Heresy totally and no-one knows the Golden Throne is a life support system, they just think he's sitting on it for reasons they can't know''.
You will never be able to weave a cohesive picture of the 40K setting that will satisfy everyone at the table. In my experience, it takes a certain degree of mature agreement at the beginning of the game to acknowledge that the GMs knowledge of the lore is going to take priority over the players, because if it becomes a debate, amongst 40K players, you'll never actually get to play the dang game.

>>46769220
Fair enough, good luck dealing with him.
I've have two players who repeatedly mispronounce terms even after I've explained them, piss off npc's (i.e. 'me') by ignoring them when they're speaking or wasting their time by badgering them with pointless questions, the players ignore blatant plot points or adventure hooks, or they even just flat out go off-rails despite having the flimsiest of in-character reasons, and all this for no other reason than because they know it annoys me, and they find amusement in watching how angry I get.
This is especially egregious because they don't do this for anyone else. Either they're subtly trying to get rid of me, or they derive a perverse pleasure from watching the building aneurysm in my head as I am mentally screaming "GET ON WITH THE FUCKING PLOT, YOU COCK-GOBBLING SONS OF WHORES!"

I mean, since you open up by being pissed about mispronounced words, I think you might be a little too analysis about things and probably do get entertainingly angry.
That, and you're getting angry personally OOC when your NPCs should be the ones getting angry.
I think you need to relax and have some fun bro. Then you don't get angry and can move the plot along, or semi sandbox the game.

Here's my recent story.
>Playing through the breach
>Group includes a mercenary shooter, an amoral doctor, a rail worker, an undercover construct, and That guy.
>That guy is playing a cowgirl who has the power of fear bullets, lightning bullets, and most recently invisibility.

>Whines about how her powers are not cool, despite accepting fear powers and being able to command the paralyzed.
>Whines about not getting why the plot exists instead of actually searching for information
>Whines about a corrected ruling that makes the game actually a challenge for all players
>Whines that "I don't know what I can do" when options aren't super obvious or designed so she can sit her butt down. For example, fighting's going on in a tunnel connected to a well. She stays at the top of the well and says "Can I shoot something?" No, you're at the top of the well and can't see anything yet. "Uhhhh I don't know what to do." Here, how about you help people climb out to give them advantage. "Okay! Glad I thought of it."

The one thing that really pisses me off is the bad faith in these stories. If you're a cunt, you're a cunt, don't try to shift the blame.
I never had someone be a complete that guy but I had a playing who got really close.

>says he was a soldier turn mercenary

>I hosted the games at my house and player ends up calling me stupid for not playing up to his standards.
>I get pissed and tell him not to disrespect me in my house and that he can fuck off.
>he leaves upset that I called him out on his rudeness
Later we hashed it out and he calmed down about metagaming tactics and focus more on making his character more of a separate entity instead of an extension of himself.
He is a pretty decent player now.
>>46770598
'Fraid not.

>>46768149
He didn't get mad. I told him I didn't fudge (not exactly true, if I'm being honest) and reminded him that he fucked up repeatedly by going into a room alone, triggering several traps on purpose because he wanted treasure, waking up the giant skeleton who was content to sit in his coffin until he tried to steal his sword, and then not running or calling for help when it was beating his shit to pieces. I only fudged when he finally did call for help, so that the other players, only one of whom actually responded, we're one round too late to reach him.

This isn't in the least related to your tale other than annoying 40k fans but I remember skimming through a vs thread of some sort (first mistake right there I guess) that was 40k vs Dune.
Dune has instantaneous, completely safe FTL travel and has an empire that literally spans several galaxies because of it. Most of the struggles in the setting are political because warfare had reached a point of mutually assured destruction to all of humanity even before the butlerian jihad. People were still arguing that the Imperium was bigger, had more people and would easily win by sheer edginess
>>46772362
>empire that literally spans several galaxies
I don't remember that when reading the books. I do remember the society being some kind of feodal empire with a limited Parliament thingy and the fact that using lasers and shield is a recipe for a disaster.
Anyway, the Imperium would lose, they only have one galaxy and are forced to share it with xenos.

The worst part is that this wasn't the first time the DM did stupid crap like that. He tried running werewolf and the gimmick was government testing labs with football fields to play and graze on and neat little cages bound by silver bars with silver dust.

When we decided "fuck this going Crinos and escape" he had silver dust touch our fur and sap our powers. Cause he thought that's how it worked. The game ended when he got mad at us for not siding with the scientists that captured us instead trying to escape by stepping sideways and other zany plots.

Most of the action happens inside the Milky Way on the early books, but it steadily expands through the series until by God-Emperor Leto II outright calls it a "multigalactic empire". Then, on the last two books, even that area is known as the Old Imperium and the overwhelming majority of humanity's domains and population are elsewhere.
There's also that the Honored Matres literallydestroy all the Bene Gesserit worlds from orbit, and from what can be seen in the destruction of Arrakis at least one method of doing so involves literally burning the whole planet to a crisp 40k style. On a individual basis Dune humans even on the first book are so much faster, stronger and smarter than modern humans (and therefore baseline 40k humans since they're largely the same in that respect) it's not even funny, and that difference keeps getting more and more pronounced with the breeding programs until by Chapterhouse, the people of the Scattering have evolved some sort of alien nervous system that allows for reflexes on par or superior to certain invertebrates. Then you haveMiles Tegand his Flash bullshit, to whom even the people of the Scattering seem to move in hyper-slow motion.
A Scattering Bene Gesserit trained woman like Murbella could most likely wreck anything short of a Space Marine. Even then the Honored Matres are implied to use augmentations, yet Murbella kills 3 of the strongest ones before they have a chance to react.

The worst part is this is why I was up until 4am. I don't feel right telling the captcha I'm not a robot.

Here's a That DM story in PF.
> DM sets up a very "Dragon Lord Whateverax is rampaging the land and it is up to YOU the heroes of the PROPHECY to stop him, but first, you have to get strong"
> We roll with it because who knows maybe it'll be better than the premise.
> Whole campaign is full of very conspicuous dungeons full of greenskins, we hack through them like a hot knife through butter.
> When we finally reach the Dragon Lord he calls us out on our bullshit saying stuff along the lines of "Prophecies are relative, I was trying to stop you from the slaughter but turns out I made the prophecy fullfill itseeeeelf!"
> We all roll our eyes
> Yeah sure whatever have at thee you humongous chunk of XP
> DM makes shitty rolls and we kick his dragon to a curb.
That Guy now feels entitled to look at us with angry eyes and call us out on our "merciless genocide of the orc race" everytime he gts the occasion. At least, he had fun.
>>46770992
OK that's not as bad as it sounds, but fudging at all to specifically kill somebody's character is probably something you should avoid.
If he runs off by himself and would definitely die, don't even roll for it. If the rest of the group has an OOC problem with his choice of character then they need to deal with it OOC.

>tries to "accidentaly" diablerize another vampire
This is particularly hilarious to me, since the corebook (at least the 2e one) explicitly states several times over several different sections that you can't accidentally diablerize a vampire, you can't even be forced into it by frenzying because of how instincutally revulsive it's supposed to be. It has to be a deliberate, premeditated act, which is part of why pretty much every domain ever has a zero-tolorence policy for attempting that shit.
>>46768792
>If idiocy was a prerequisite for governor-hood then literally nothing would ever get done in the Imperium fucking ever.
So, idiocy is a prerequisite for governor-hood?
>>46775628
It's a constant through oWoD, nWoD and CoD.
Frankly, the player sounds like a complete faggot that would refuse to play anything than vaguely regulated freeform.

what?
>>46758437
That's an odd habit of I've ever seen seen one. Me and most of my friends are into musical theater so we sometimes sing a little as a joke ("roll will ya roll will ya what's the matter roll the dice" when someone is taking to long on their turn, the opening to Beelzeboss whenever fighting a demon) but never to that extent. Even when we had that guy who'd sing when it wasn't exactly appropriate he never did more than a couple bars.

What's a Stormraven? What's a Death Guard? I though it was an Imperial Guard variant.
>>46779018
Stormraven is a flying weaponized metal box that has the aerodynamics of a fridge.
Death Guard are a traitor legion who worship the bird flu.
>>46779129
Ha, I'm mistaking the Death Guard for the Death Korps.

has been taken down. Does anyone have a summary or copypaste?
>>46779957
Basically a character who was raised in a "school full of gangsters" and got mercilessly bullied, and that's his entire motivation for beating people up. Also lists a bunch of dumb aliases that the character has.
>>46758351
And that's why you always use sleeve all the time. I don't trust anyone to not fuck up anything.
>>46758437
>Sometimes I go ahead and prepare scripts for the other players
That's fucking awesome and if your DM is getting all pissy-pants that you guys are having fun then he is That Guy and you need a new DM.
>>46758776
If you haven't made them do the Thriller dance then you fucking need to right now.
Also everyone replying to this apparently hates fun in their supercereal important roleplaying games for dramatic people.
I make references to Starkid musicals at absolutely any opportunity. Does that make me That Guy?
>>46761733
Reminder that there is a sidebar in Danse Macabre titled "I'm taking my trenchcoat and katana and going home" and it's one of the most important things you could possibly read regarding running a game of any stripe.

Then deny them this, you dumbass. Bad gaming is worse than no gaming at all.
>>46769339
I think they're teasing you for being a stuck up. Not that I don't understand your frustration, but you might want to talk to them about it.
>>46781019
I wouldn't call myself stuck up for expecting the players not to act like a bunch of socially retarded autists who deliberately try to piss me off instead of playing the fucking game.
For example.
>walks into temple, tells priestess she's shit at her job, and then stands for asking her the same question over and over for five minutes until she calls a guard to get rid of you.
>deliberately ignores blatant plot hook that is dangling in front of their faces (plus admitting you have acknowledged the plot point but are ignoring it anyway)
>demanding a town guard draw you a route to your next destination even though it is right down the street and he is pointing at it.
>walk into a tavern immediately after the patrons have been to a funeral, and then smash the barmaid over the head with a bottle in the hopes of starting a fight.
>acknowledge all of these things (and more) and that you know it is annoying me, but keep doing it anyway.

Well at least the story has a happy ending, anon.
>Playing casual with friends.
>One guy is playing a life gain pillowfort with pic on the field.
>Everyone else is around 15~ health and he's at 40+ with walls and shit everywhere.
>Gets a shit-eating grin on his face after drawing a card.
>Plays beacon of immortality to one-shot one of the other 3 players.
>Has to shuffle it back into his deck
>Next on his turn he draws and plays it again.
>Motherfucker top decked the thing.
>Last guy plays a splinter twin combo and swings for something crazy like 30 trample damage.
>Dude soaks it like a champ
>Topdecked beacon of immortality again and kills the dude.
>Physically remove and rip the card after the game.
>>46781672
You ripped up someone else's card?
>>46781672
was he topdecking it due to the effect of the card or another card or was he intentionally failshuffling it. If he wasn't you're a dick.
>>46781808
He had one copy of the card and was intentionally shuffling it so it was put on top of the library, even going to the point of false-cutting the deck.
>>46781878
Isn't that cheating?
>>46781890
Yes. Yes it is. That's why the other three players got pissed enough to destroy a $6 card they didn't own.
>>46781944
He brought that on himself.
>>46781878
>>46782393
Agreed, this guy then deserved to have it ripped up.
>>46764018
Not reasonable at all. Governors can be as smart or as incompetent as anyone else in the setting. Being able to get the resources to upgrade their troops with Admech tech is a slight stretch; the AdMech guards their shit jealously. But it's not impossible, Chaos doesn't have to be behind every fucking thing, and Acolytes are sent to investiage all kinds of boring shit that the inquisitive doesn't want to bother with but might lead somewhere.
Your players are shit.
>>46782543
