What was the worst idea you or your players had come with? Did it miraculously worked or it failed?
>>48207085
My worst idea to date as a GM is my planned Mass Effect/Mutant Chronicles cross over setting. It's a loose collection of notes right now and I doubt I'll ever try telling my players about it. The whole thing spawned out of a conversation with a friend after a game of warzone about what would happen if the main antagonistic force(the Dark Soul and it's apostles and legions) of Mutant Chronicles was unleashed by some of the Mass Effect races after first contact with humanity.
I think I'll leave it to rot in my notebook, most of my "original" ideas end up flopping, this wouldn't be any different.
I had a player who once tried to do this:
https://youtu.be/-pUhraVG7Ow?t=1m6s
Without taking cover
Trying to fight a Lasombra Ancilla with a hand help M2 machine gun. I did this by charging into an obscured building, with no visual on the target and without even trying to lay down some suppressing fire. Needless to say I got ashed in one round of combat.
>>48207085
Walked into a room that was obviously a crypt, and found a coffin that had no dust on it when everything else did.
They opened it because they just wanted to end arguments, one player thought it was obviously a trap, one thought it was a bluff, and one just wanted to move on.
They unleashed a terrible evil upon the world, which they bound themselves to serve.
>>48207085
Our bard jumped into a megaladon's mouth with an axe. She actually survived the teeth part somehow but drowned because she jumped in screaming and didn't actually stop to breathe before going under. We managed to kill it while she was flailing around in there. Later we had my fire bloodline sorceress pretty much roll a flame orb over her on a makeshift pyre... which eventually resulted in the bard's fat, bloated corpse exploding once the superheated chainmail we left on pressure cooked her. Our paladin got hit in the face with burning fat.

And by "We all" I meant "except the guy kicking the grenade". It was also a really bad roll.
>>48207085
Get to a warzone
Sell shitload of coke they've stolen from a local king-pin for instant profit
Support local underdogs and play it a la "For a handful of dollars"
Before they've reached the area, they've sold the drugs first chance they've got, changed party composition (one of the PCs was torned apart with horses as a punishment for offending a diplomat, they've got a new PC with only half of the exp the rest have), get tangled into local noble infighting and by the time they've reached the warzone, they've literally no longer cared nor remembered their original plan.
So they've rolled over it, fighting their way throught marauders.
... and I've ended up with 30 pages of preparation for the massive war campaign that went to shit without any use whatsoever.

That's why you shouldn't be too forward in your prep man. What system?
>>48210429
>That's why you shouldn't be too forward in your prep man
We were all planning that campaign for 5 months, as a massive build up and everything else was a filler to just get to the place. So nice knowing having a big campaign prepared for your players is "too forward", you mong
>What system?
Witcher TTRPG, the old one, not the one they are working on
Brokering a marriage between the orc queen and the human noble kid.
We've definitely done stupider things on the fly, but this plan we actually worked out and hammered out. I was certain it woud fail, but somehow not only worked, but worked well for everyone involved.

Not that anon, but I doubt that, PC actions are really erratic if everyone were in on the planning for 5 months. My guess is that you did all of the work.

Well, can't argue with results, can we?
I was like you not so long ago, realized the games my characters preferred were those were I half-bullshitted through (we call this improv). So as of now, I mostly prepare generic stuff I can use in a pinch and roll with the players.

It is unless you're 100% sure you're all in-line with your expectations and hopes for the campaign. Otherwise the players will do what they find the most fun regardless if it lines up with your vision or not.

Another moron...
In fact, not counting local power-play, everything else was planned by the guy who invented the whole get-the-coke-for-some-army-so-they-will-fight-better. I was filling his gaps, not the other way around. Meanwhile, rest of the team was busy with helping fluff out the geo stuff (happens, when you have 3 people from Geology in the group)
But sure, it was all just my work and you know that better, because you read a single sentence, which you not only didn't understand, but misinterpreted the way it suited you.

When you plan the whole campaign in advance, it doesn't leave room for player agency. You just want to railroad them through your novel.
>>48210814
Not those anon but I have a question; what exactly were those 30 pages of notes if you were being reactive with your GMing instead? i.e. "I filled in the gaps." Like how big were the gaps?
I storytimed this once
>>48210892
>it doesn't leave room for player agency
The entire fucking campaign was player agency, you moron. But you would have to read more than single post to know that, which is too much work for a sperg
>>48210894
Like setting up what is the real power of each local faction involved. See, the whole point of the campaign and the war (or rather local conflict) was about control over strategic point(s) on trade route: four cities and fords next to them, combined with the control of the river forking in the area.
So the gaps involved stuff like measuring local powers, giving stats to important NPCs, giving agencies to the less obvious elements and basically crunching the shit out of it. Out of those 30 pages, roughtly 25 are crunch.
>>48211000
Oh, cry me a fuckin' river. If you ended up with shit your players weren't interested in you got ahead of them, period. If you got 30 fucking pages ahead of them you'd fuckin' forgot you had players to start with.
And the fact that you can't admit that to yourself just means you won't learn from it, either.

Best storytelling is organic and take into account player agency. This anon's game is basically a Vidya.
What I argue is that the medium (TTRPG) is ill-chosen to make that kind of preparation. Then again, you can blame the players and stubbornly keep what you're doing or try to work with what you have.

To be completely honest I like the idea of you trying to blend in with the bandits so that you can kill most of them in their sleep but why the fuck do you have to steal from the people who hired you to get rid of the bandits? Why didn't you just ask them to play along with your plan?
The plan almost worked but when the bandits didn't take him in the second he reached them he started to throw daggers at them.

Party got pulled over for doing something small like speeding. One cop from cop car moves to talk to driver while the other remains in the car (running plates and such). Before even trying to talk their way out of the situation, driver dominates the cop with the power that is a single word (I believe level 1?). "Sleep". His partner just sees his counterpart drop to the floor. He calls for backup, pulls his gun, and a crazy shit show ensues from there (which invovled machine blitzing the helicopter that eventually started following them and having it crash into the city). I believe I had to wipe the whole party because of it.
>>48216828
Other than a few plot things happening, some key npcs and a few good hooks/missions/adventure ideas prepping way in advance is not likely to produce better results. And it increases the likelihood of heartbreak, disappointment and burnout significantly.

His mistake was that he should have just dropped them in media res after they sold the coke into the battlefield and proceeding from there, not that he planned a campaign in the first place. You bring your players to the point immediately if that point is crucial to the game, not expect them to get to the point on their own. Also, he expected his players to be intelligent enough to be drug dealers when they sound dumb as bricks (guess that's why he was given the inglorious task of running the game; there's no way they have either the patience or mental capacity to run that shit on their own).
We tricked a 6th generation Tzimisce into giving a rant in the middle of a battlefield, let the Nosferatu sniper pick him off in a single shot. Was absolutely hilarious until we realized he could regenerate from near death.

You really didn't read this thread at all. The original anon produced crunch notes for fighting armies. Then the campaign never happend at all. And you are complaining about him doing a railroad. You can at least see how unrelated those things are, right?
>>48219392
>Planned campaigns are bad
My mistake was assuming that /tg/ is not swarming with incompetent morons that play TTRPG just to kill things.
And the amount of implying in your post is just insulting. Not to me or the other people around, but to fucking human intellect.
As storytellers in a "return of the gods" larp on a homebrew system... We decided it would be a great idea to have centaurcycles show up in 1976 NYC. Half man, half motorcycle. And they'd kill a helpful NPC, leave his head for the players to find. The players would have to go deal with it on downtime. Which was all well and good for some conflict until we realized that being motorcycles with torsos attached, their only combat tactic was charge in a straight line forward on flat pavement. And they were damn unwieldy. Players absolutely decimated what was supposed to be their first "you're not as powerful as you think / there's other dangerous stuff out there" moment, to the point where they were like "man, how did they kill that NPC, he must have been weak sauce"
>>48222624
No, you illiterate dumbfuck, that's not what happened:
"Before they've reached the area, they've sold the drugs first chance they've got, changed party composition (one of the PCs was torned apart with horses as a punishment for offending a diplomat, they've got a new PC with only half of the exp the rest have), get tangled into local noble infighting and by the time they've reached the warzone, they've literally no longer cared nor remembered their original plan.
So they've rolled over it, fighting their way throught marauders.
... and I've ended up with 30 pages of preparation for the massive war campaign that went to shit without any use whatsoever."
All that shit means the campaign happened and the characters did things like "sold the drugs," "changed party composition," "got tangled up into local noble infighting," And further shit. The campaign fucking *happened* it just didn't follow the DM prep so he's crying bitch-tears about it. The game got *played* it just didn't go how the DM wanted.
This whiny little cunt overshot his players by 30 pages and now he wants /tg/ sympathy points for it. And he's not gonna get it because he should have known better. And your dumb ass selectively reading a thread so you can accuse others of doing is probably close enough to that to encourage the fucktard to keep begging for it.
>>48223916
>The campaign happend
Only it didn't. And here is the GM speaking.
How dense montherfucker one must be to not understand that:
1) War campaign didn't happen
2) Scenarios before it were completely unrelated shit to fill the time passage and movement
3) The whole war campaign was PLAYERS idea
4) There was no railroad, you dumb fuck, it was just a shitload of stats for all the possible NPCs and groups the players might encounter in the area (which was a given for a five-direction struggle and them being a wild card in it)
But here you are, knowing better what happend, what is in the notes and who did what. Why don't you just declare yourself the God Almighty already?
>>48223916
>>48224135
Also, futher explaining for such tool like you:
Some people DON'T just play unrelated, disjoined set of adventures, but keep them coherent. And if they are two months away from their point of destination, then they might ask you to role-play through all that journey. Meaning a lot of filler scenarios and micro-campaigns to finally start the proper campaigns.
The sole fact that for you it makes no difference between a scenario, mini-campaign and campaign proper is the best proof you are a fucking pleb that can't into fucking roleplay and just goes from one adventure to another.
And there is only one type of PC that fits that - a murderhobo. Which lo and behold, is fucking missing in that specific group. They are playing a fucking Witcher TTRPG WITHOUT a witcher in their party, for starters.
But here, go preach me how the preparations were one massive evil railroad. Because surely you can railroad through player-invented scenario that is all about players initiative and decisions. That totally will work.
>>48224135
>>48224167
Other guys, but let me get this straight:
They went from point A to B to start the campaign, only to go futher after reaching point B and just ignore the whole thing?
Then why going into a fucking war zone in the first place? I mean why they even bothered to go there, if the deal was off earlier and one of PCs got replaced?
I guess this is the biggest problem with player-reactive games. People change their mind on a whim, unless doing really in-depth character RP
>>48224203
Ironically, this is a great case for railroading. Players are frequently dumb, easily distracted, and if they could come up with good ideas, they'd GM.
I've been sidetracked in a similar matter, where I listened to one of my players who wanted to play noble politics in my D&D setting, so I wrote up a whole bunch of stuff about the noble houses and histories of a region, which then didn't matter because the player in question only wanted to lecture NPCs on proper etiquette for hours and then spent no actual time playing politics.
Much like how any author or creator should not ever directly listen to their audience's feedback, GMs should never give players what they say they want, because the players frequently don't know what they want.
>>48224203
He's just ass hurt that his train de-railed and he wants to be all "the REAL campaign never happened, what my players actually did was an INFERIOR, FALSE campaign. Fuck you if you can't see that."
>>48223015
There's a difference between planned campaigns, overplanned campaigns and murderhobo games.
You can run a compelling story focused campaign planning a few sessions in advance or with loose end goals and improvising to fill in any blanks. You do not need massive folders of prep. Been there, done that.
>>48225167
>Being this mad about other people and their GMing style
>Pulling things out of thin air to rant about
But why?
I can get why the original poster was mad about the campaign going to shit. What I don't get is your passive-aggressive bullshit.
>>48225406
I has nothing to do with playing style and everything to do with his attitude that his prep was wise and flawless and the filthy players ruined it y not doing what he expected them to do.
It grew from there as he continually piled stupid arguments on top of each other to shift blame by claiming it wasn't about player agency, that somehow the fact it was crunch made it different, or that his notes were the real campaign that never happened and what the players actually did was something different.
The truth of the matter is that players do have agency and in this case they spent it going in a different direction. There were a lot of ways he could have handled that, including discussing it OOC with the players, pocketing the prep for future usage, attempting to use as much of it as possible, or any combination of the above and several others besides.
What he did do is come to 4chan looking for sympathy and threw a fit when he didn't get it, responding like a petulant child to any suggestion his own choices were poor or any suggestion that he could have handled it differently. I have no patience for that.
And please actually bother to look up the words "passive-aggressive," I think you'll find it much more accurately describes your greentext than my profanity.

>>48224135
Trying to distill the issue here, I've got to say that if 30 pages of prep went to waste after the first few bits of unexpected player agency, you were assuming far too much. Perhaps you weren't railroading, but were definitely expecting the players to go along with the whole thing with the initiative of a lemming.
As a couple others have said, being too specific in your preparations tends to be wasteful, and your plans must have a degree of elasticity to accommodate for players being players.
If it's just stats more than preparation, then I'm sure it's possible to guide the story to lead the group back to the area and make use of all that work. Adapt and repurpose.

>Players have moved into this abandoned wizard's tower.

They've tried to counter us by forming a special reaction force. They've also given everyone important a stone that can smmon said special reaction team almost instantly.
We then flip one of their generals to our side, he gives us his stone.
We brainstorm a plan to trick the Khan of Khan's.
We teleport into his throne room, and tell him all panicky that said country is going to assassinate him, and we trigger the stone.

Since this thread is already pretty much "That one particular guys and other anons", he later explained that out of those 30 pages, 25 were crunch for fighting armies.
That leaves 5 pages of scenario.
And the scenario itself was players ideas. So when players dropped the scenario, there was no point playing it, leaving the guy with 5 pages of prep (a normal amount any scenario takes if you ask me) and a 25 pages of scenario-specific cruch. Which means he wasted a lot of time on having a sheet for NPCs that never happend.
It has absolutely nothing to do with railroading, players agency or any other thing people claim
And the best part of your post is how you first talk about evils of railroading, only to... advice railroad to get players into something they clearly didn't want.
>>48239405
No, dumbfuck. We're saying never spend a moment's prep on anything you'll be begging 4chan for sympathy grade assblasted over if it doesn't actually come up in the game.
I don't give a shit if he wrote a 250 gaming supplement and drew a 22 page comic book to go with it and had both professionally bound, that ain't the direction the game went and that happens. You prep what you think you'll need, you recycle what you can, and you make peace with the idea that it may very well get left by the side of the road, or else large portions of /tg/ will call you a whiny faggot, you whiny faggot.

I'm currently going through the worst idea I've had. To preface the Cleric and Wizard players (voices of reason) were gone last session. So that left me the Gnome Fighter, Elf Rogue, and Half-Orc Monk free to act dumb. Though the Cleric player was there physically he was out of it mentally, and the Ranger didn't show up because the stars weren't right or some nonsense.
Last session the party finished helping reopen a mining town that had an abomination, hydra, and poor local government trash it. Seeing as the GM loves throwing monsters out that squish our group in a stand up fight and then have npcs or other monsters come save our butts has been disheartening. Secondly nobles the party have encountered are some combination of retard, slaver, rapist, or coward with mountains of gold. I figured extortion by some form would be the best way to get money for the group, in the safest possible way. Of course it wasn't as planned as I make it sound. The party was looking for another Wrong to right and some gold to pay off debts when the monk, rogue and I stumbled upon a young noble that was being an asshole to old people after returning to the city central to the campaign. In a spur of the moment idea I suggested we kidnap the guy and get money out of his father who is a lord of a nearby port town, the group agreed much to my amazment. So after a brief discussion on how we'll capture him, the rogue walked up to the young noble and pretended to be a fellow noble, and said come with me and my friends into this alley and beat up old people with us. Of course nobility being as dumb as rocks in this game, the young noble followed us and the monk punched him till he was unconscious. The rogue and I spent no time stripping him of valuables and writing a ransom note that we immediately sent off. Now our plan didn't stop at ransom, we plan on killing both of them and installing the Rogue as the new ruler of the port town.

Seeing as we barely have a plan, limited resources, the GM's fondness of bullshit hard encounters, and I expect the other half of the group to reasonably stay out of this, I figure I'm as good as dead next session. Suicide by GM if you will.
The PCs tried to infiltrate a group of criminals who they knew were working for the cult of an evil god.
One of the PCs was an Aasimar.

I did a similar thing in my first vampire campaign. I used the 2nd level to make him leave us be but when his partner asked what had happened he got his senses back. By the end of the night we'd been on local news and had to run my car off a bridge. We were the first kindred who had been permitted sired under the new Prince and the god damn sheriff had to pick me up and make me wear a bin bag so as not to ruin his car. Our sire was not happy. The other character crawled out on the other side of the river.
Accidentally burned down an orphanage and stole one of the orphans to give to the clearly retarded blacksmith for a discount on some shitty weapon
