Have you ever played literally yourself in a tabletop game before? How did it go? Any stories about it?
Yeah, I convinced the party that DnD was a waste of our time that night (half the players didn't even have their characters ready) and we should play Smash Bros instead.
I must've rolled a 20 on my Diplomancy check, because everyone agreed and it was a pretty fun session.
Stop posting photos of me.
No, I'm not comfortable with volunteering some defining traits real me with my gaming group.

I call bullshit.

Sorry it's not hardcore League of Legends sessions, Drew.
>>45742839
No, seriously, Smash Bros is like... the Monopoly of vidya games.
>>45742851
monopoly the video game is the monopoly of video games you retarded fuck
>>45742851
Hey man, monopoly is fun when you're not playing with the competifags who always pick the top-hat playing piece because it's S-tier.

We once did a zombie apocalypse campaign, where we played ourselves.
We all had known each other for 10+ years, and made each other's character sheets as exaggerated versions how what we'd be in 5 years. Turned out into a really fun campaign.

Monopoly is like the Monopoly of video games.

Sort of, a while ago we played a Zombie Apocalypse set about 7 years in the future and we all made characters based off ourselves. Granted we decided to allow everyone to change their real life back stories/previous occupations before the zombie outbreak for the sake of the game (ex: I was working in fast food irl, but wrote in that ingame I was a field medic) . I think the only person who didn't change their occupation was the girl that used to work at Game Stop. Allow me to say that it was certainly an interesting group make up.

"Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning..." Damn Looney Tunes sure got as dirty as they could.
In my area there is a Con with a Tournament where you can bring in any character whatsoever, or any character concept and play it. One year I went with "The mayhem goat controlled by myself playing goat simulator" Things got ridiculous In short order.

Play myself personality wise, technowiz halfling artificier. Name is a remix of my actual name for fantasy appropriateness.
Party betrays me, first time I ever lost a character.
Not quite, but I introduced myself as a creator god - it was a flustered straight-up version of myself who'd somehow written the world into existence and was severely upset to encounter the PCs, as it proved that he was in a campaign written by another version of himself (and thus was "not real").
They chased him around his pocket dimension for an hour, each door leading to either idyllic havens (giant, partially-flooded libraries, shacks on frozen lakes, tropical beaches) or real-world locations which the PCs didn't recognise, by the players lost their shit over.
Eventually they tracked "me" down and, convincing him that they weren't a threat, he realised that they'd reached the point where the party sort of needed an extra boss fight, or the end of the campaign. Refusing to make it so abrupt, he distilled an evil version of himself - essentially an evil version of me, as well - and fought the party, ending in an argument over moral quandry as so whether or not this created evil version was ACTUALLY evil or an emulation of evil.
In the end, the creator god gave them small gifts, then kicked them out of his domain and wiped their memories.

That's the Candyland of video games.
Pic related.
>>45742707
Yeah. I was playing Modern d20. I died in the first encounter, due to having no relevant skills in a firefight with Russian gangsters.
To be fair, everyone died since we were all playing ourselves. It wasn't that fun.
>>45742707
No
Oh God, don't tell me you did?
i played an exaggerated version of my self in risus, being an over the top ass hat is pretty fun

Who HASN'T done the "lets play ourselves in a zombie apocalypse game?"
Be honest.
>>45742707
Playing myself in games never works. The whole "no real consequences" thing in-game doesn't work well with what makes me who I am IRL. Those games always go off the rails as my inner bastard runs amok.

Isn't that literally the point of the FFG Apocalypse games?

>tfw haven't played monopoly in years
I'm stuck with a mobile app game called rentos

Yeah i'm actually in a 3.5 campaign right now in which the players are themselves sucked into a fantasy world by some kind of portal.
We even took this online quiz that assigned us stats and classes. I'm a wizard with high wisdom and low everything else
>for the first session we were just confused people running around a forest
>meet two wizards
>ones a blind dwarf, the other is a half giant who can't speak
>they make it there responsibility to teach us the ways of the world
>three in game months later we are now functional level one characters
>except me, i'm still shit.
At this point the fact that we are playing ourselves has no impact outside of roleplaying. But the roleplaying is always super chill because nobody has a role they feel like they need to fill. It's really nice actually.

Nah, DMs always demand point buy, I wouldn't be able to get my stats high enough.

This is the one we used. I don't actually recommend using it for what we used it for because it's easy for a powergamer to inflate there stats.
Mostly it's just fun seeing what alignment and class it gives you.
