i've discovered a new type of player
the shitplayer. like a shitposter, shitplayers are people who fuck up the game because they can.
See, you might be thinking that i mean a That Guy, but a That Guy, in his retardation, believes he is not a that guy. "Oh my god my character is chaotic evil, of course I'm going to rape the cleric!" "What do you mean I died? I ran in first and tanked all of the hits as a level 2 wizard! IM GONNA FLIP THE TABLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" etc etc etc etc.
Shitplayers are people that are entirely capable of knowing that what they are doing is fucking factually wrong and improper, but they didn't get their way, and now everyone has to suffer. This isn't autism and lack of self awareness, this is petty hateful playing.
With that, let me tell my story.
>dnd, homebrew, good party
>sorceror, pally, bard and war domain cleric
>not bad
>sorc has fucking high charisma
>he wants to be the party's face, which is fair, he rolled an 18 for CHA while the bard rolled a 16.
>decides that rolling a 20 means that you automatically succeed on anything you try, and super do it
>meet villian of the first half of campaign, an insane, specifically killing elves and using their blood to paint a ghoulish mural on a living canvas that feeds on fey blood dark paladin
>"i roll to convince him to stop doing this."
>rolls 20
>villain takes a couple minutes to ponder, but he's so far gone it doesn't help
>in the minute he really, really thinks about it the party can prepare their escape
>time to kill the bard
>WAIT WAIT WAIT
>what is it, sorc player?
>I ROLLED A 20.
>yeah but you can't change his alignment
>WELL...WHAT THE FUCK...
>stays quiet and sullen the entire rest of the campaign
>>46537956
>next week, shows up
>midway through getting quest reward he announces he's not chaotic evil and promptly slits the mayor of the town's throat and declares his raping of the daughter
>paladin tries to stop him
>sleep
>slits the paladin's throat
>DM: no you dont. you dont rape the woman either.
>WOW FUCK THIS GAME IS SO RESTRICTIVE
>decides to be good
>but constantly fucks around in combat
>"for my turn I do nothing while the wolves eat the bard"
>actually rolls a crit
>refuses to roll the extra damage die because "nat 20's don't mean anything in this game :^)"
I HATE THIS FUCKING KID.
He's not a that guy, because he had a really fine character concept, he was playing along, but the second he didn't get it way, he decided to nuke the game. For no reason.
>mfw he has a smoking hot gf that is the cleric and she just fucking defends him, even defending him on the violent raping thing
>>46537956
>but they didn't get their way, and now everyone has to suffer.
Sounds like /tg/.
>>46537960
just fucking kick him, you weak-willed cuck
if only you hustled as hard as you hate, you weak, low-testosterone beta
With friday night just around the corner, what tabletop you're planning tomorrow?
>>46536042
>With friday night just around the corner, what tabletop you're planning tomorrow?
Ryuutama.
>>46536042
Getting my players together on Saturday, because they are all notorious flakes
>Already had to drop 2 to scheduling
>Already going insane
>I hate myself yet can't stop
>>46536042
Gon' play some deeundee.
We have many threads about That Guy, That GM, and Epic Fails. So I want to hear about your favorite PC's finest hour.
"What do I mean by 'finest Hour'" I don't hear you ask because it's the internet and we're not on skype?
well, Encyclopedia.com defines it as:
"the time of one's greatest achievement..."
So share your story(s) of greatness and glory.
> a thread that isn’t completely negative
Awaiting fake stories.
Low level game and I was playing a bard who used the skill performance (Sing) instead of an instrument. His greatest moment was getting a modified 41 on a performance check while under a modified version of the spell shout (giving his song a truly huge range) when defending the capital from an army of dragonborn orcs.
The reason this was his finest moment?
Because the +4 to all rolls for 2d4 ( rolled 5) minutes bonus that it gave to every ally within song range we dessimated the enemy army to the point that we could actually stand a chance of a counterattack against the draco-cleric who spawned the now-dead army. Still playing the game.
>>46533275
Okay I'll be the first to ask. How the fuck did you get a 41 on a performance check?
Rolled 5, 38, 45, 10, 38 = 136 (5d100)
Who would of thought the creation thread would of died on me...first time that has ever happened.
Civ type selected is Megacorp remnant.
HQ is megatower.
Homeground is undecided.
Terrain is undecided.
Hero is undecided.
Previous debate was between mountains and canyons for terrain or homeground.
Name of player faction and hero is still undecided.
Rolled 81, 75, 29, 89, 62 = 336 (5d100)
>>46530066
Last thread: >>46510945
fluff has not been decided but good fluff may provide special bonuses.
As a megacorp you get to treat ordinary resources as a specialized material in terms of usage. This both boosts their use making them more effective but also raising the resulting quality.
Naturally this makes you quite the target in the post apocalypse. The only other faction with a target sign painted on them bigger or roughly equal to a megacorp remnant is a think tank remnant.
So beware the greed of other factions as bandits more likely then not may not be your only concern in terms of potential threat.
>>46530066
Desert Canyon is my vote.
Homeground if mountain with canyon terrain
Does GW unironically expects us to believe that Space Marines don't fuck?
Men have needs. Supermen should have super needs. It's such an obvious issue, why do they stubbornly refuse to address it?
>>46529678
Because they don't want their 13 year old audience to blab to mommy about giant Space Marine wang, since then she won't buy him any more of it.
There's already plenty of subtle clues and scattered sources that space marines are capable of doing the sex. Why do you need it spelled out?
>>46529746
as if 13 year olds were able to afford their shit
most w40k players and fans are adults and I want them to start treating us like adults
>>46529800
Hence why I said their mother's would stop buying it for them. Kiddies love Space Marines and GW knows it.
>I want them to start treating us like adults
Then stop having the reading comprehension of a child.
This question popped on /v/ so I'm curious.
You're either a DM or D&D player. A new player joins your group, he's never played any tabletop. He wants to be fully immersed in the game, including:
>he speaks with his character's accent
>he comes up dressed in costume
>he insists on never breaking character and doesn't want others to either
What do you think of this player?
>>46539264
I think he's acting stupid and should cut that shit out and tell him so.
Players are not their characters and vice versa.
Nah man, we're pretty casual at my table. It's more of a beer & pretzels type of game that he wouldn't fit into.
>>46539264
>he speaks with his character's accent
Excellent.
>he comes up dressed in costume
Over the top, expect some playful jabs. Not a deal-breaker.
>he insists on never breaking character and doesn't want others to either
Fuck off. Things need to be discussed or cleared up out-of-character sometimes. This is entitled and demanding.

Why do SJWs and feminists have to invade every refuge for white men. By the one of the guys in my DnD group is gay. He just isn't a flaming damn faggot that makes everything about he loves the cock.
>>46536959
>every refuge for normal men
>2014
it's been that long since 5th edition?
Felt like it was released last week.
Guys... I want to do a campaign set in this world. I'm thinking modern noir with mild fantasy elements (such as everyone being a talking animal). My group is all on board and we're willing to learn pretty much any system but nobody really likes GURPS. What other good systems are there for us to use?I swear we aren't furries.
>>46534138
Any generic system could work really.
Since fights weren't really a focus of the setting I'd recommend something narrative like FATE/FAE.
>>46534187
We actually just finished a long campaign of FATE, so I don't know if they'd be up for another. Thanks though.
Bump because I need ideas

wtf canada? you let a bitch like this out?
>>46530592
Don't blame me just because I was born behind enemy lines.
>>46530619
but seriously, is this common in the great white north?
"I am thirteen years old and in a game store for the first time. I examine their selection of dice and take them to the counter to pay.
"How old are you?" asks the balding, middle-aged man behind the counter.
"Thirteen."
"Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed!" he chuckles in glee. The Warhammer 40K gamers at the table behind him take up the refrain. "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed! Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed!"
I run."
The article notes some readers of her tumblr post consider this story unbelievable. I agree.
Even men with no class or morals are limited by fear of retribution, for starters, wouldn't the employee and the nerds be scared her father and uncles would come beat the shit out of them? This presumably took place in the 90s or 80s, back then harassing adult women was considered more acceptable, but not children.
It seems that alot of /tg/ dislike having females in their campaigns.
Yet a select few do enjoy having them.
Tell me your stories tg about having females in your games.
Have they been good RPers or bad time wasters. Let the world know!
>>46538827
>invite girl to game night
>she drives, we get lost, she can't read maps
>arrive, starts talking about how I need to mow the lawn, and how next door neighbor is on the school board
>wont make me a sandwich
>has pms, just wants to drink chardonnay and watch american idol
>told i can't go.to next session, have to go to yankee candle instead
and if you think that's bad youve never met the mother in law
I got 3 different girls in the various games I'm playing or DMing. It's all good.
>kid dragonborn thief in 5e (the socerer want to make her his pet)
>human rogue in 5e
>drow assassin in 5e and shaman/face in SR
They are actually pretty good roleplayers, even if they are sometimes lagging behind in terms of game comprehension.
>>46538857
7.5/10, not terribly original but I laughed
DnD greentext anyone?
Make sure somebody puts Sir Bearington in here.
>>46529756
Jesus christ, that's the most evil thing I've ever heard
Someone post Edgardo to trigger anons.
So, hypothetically speaking, how would one run a magical realmy fantasy game? My two players and I have joked around about fetishes at the table and we've decided to try a mini campaign of pathfinder where nuns are sluts, dragons are sluts, mindlflayers are slutsand bards are chaste less they become impotent.
Thoughts and suggestions?
>>46531116
LEAVE THIS BOARD NOW YOU SICK DISGUSTING FUCK!!
>>46531116
Why Pathfinder? There are better systems, anon.
So, which is more powerful. Hulkamania or a waaagh?
>>46528737
Whatamania? Why did you post a picture of a blurry crowd?
>>46528737
Orks didn't kill Gawker
Waaghs win wars
Pre NWO Hulkamania could destroy planets.

Oh fuck my whole connection.
This is a thread to fluff up the Sanguine Shields, a chapter created using the Space Marine Creation Table, specifically about their vehicles and relics, as well as chapter culture.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Sanguine_shields
>Blood Angel Successors.
>Pure Geneseed.
>Founded as a Counter to new Xenos that Hypastistai Maximus the Furious became our figure of legend for driving to extinction.
>We live on a Feral Wasteland, ruling with a Stewardship.
>We like Armored Assaults.
>We are Codex Divergent.
>We have Totemistic Charms in the form of the silver skulls of our fallen brethren and the preserved hearts of our enemies. Keeps the bad luck away.
>Purity of Man.
>A little less than 2000 Marines in the chapter.
>Owned and controlled in secret by the Officio Assassinorum.
>We hate Chaos Space Marines, and they hate us.
>Warcry: Shield to Shield!/Mártyras Mou!
Run down crusaders, with a regiment's worth of warboy neophytes, Macedonian influences, and dark conspiracy behind it all?
What's not to love.
Remember to update the wiki and archive threads when possible.
>>46460980
Some discussion starters.
>How does the chapter reconcile their use of armour and specialized equipment with their relation with the Mechanicus?
>What vehicles do they usually utilize?
>What tactics do they use that utilize their armour?
>How many relics does the chapter have?
>>46461142
>>How many relics does the chapter have?
Fuck ton, I'd say
>>46461201
But...why?
The Mechanicus hates them and apart from two Super Specul Dreads to reinforce their image and force the Admech's cooperation they are in general pretty worn down.
