Probably shit that never happened. Probably b8. But if it were real then that is terrible GMing.

>>46277555
We're on /tg/, when has it ever mattered if the story was true?

If this is bait it's pretty bad. The worst I would do for that guy I don't like is combonation of a 1d6 fall damage, can't see because dark, caught in a tree, and party is 120-240 feet away- enjoy the return to the party.

>>46277584

Since the beginning. It's only shitposters and b8ers who think otherwise.

But for the sake of argument, let's say it doesn't matter, and that the thrill of the narrative rollercoaster is all we're here for. Well if so then OP fails hard, since his story just rambles on pointlessly up until we reach a single failed roll followed by a lolsorandumb.

>>46277422
That's not even a Critfail roll. You don't take modifiers into account, it's only on a roll of 1.

Don't use crit fails, normally. I DO alter projectile attacks based on the roll, but it's just to keep the archer from firing into the crowd.

OP here
Nah, not really a bad GM, trust me. I've played with some pretty shit-tier GMs.
This game was started as a shits and giggles sort of thing.
The rambling is indeed rambling. I'll control from now on.

Back to GM stuff, though.
GMs played with that I hate:
>"I'm always against the players" mentality
>Furry loving GM who always tries to get your character seduced by some kind of fox girl
>Self-righteous GM who doesn't allow any sex in his game because it's against his personal views, so obviously everyone else must cater to his views.

Current GM is actually a huge improvement for me because here in NC there's a small crowd, if any, to play with.
I know he's not the greatest GM in the world, but he's better than anything else I've found and I'll admit, we end up with more laughs at the table with this guy. He's a safe place to stay til we find something better.

I guess I'd like to ask for Good GM tips considering I'm currently realizing I have only one frame of reference since the best GM I ever had moved to Florida.

>Probably shit that never happened

I dunno. This seems like the sort of thing my DM would say as a joke, but wouldn't actually make it happen IC. It's implausible, but I could see a sufficiently lolrandum group doing it for a oneshot.

>tries to get your character seduced by some kind of fox girl

I have never gotten into a group that had any magical realms, ERP, or waifus forcibly thrown on me or anyone else. Similarly I've never had /v/irgins suddenly try to ERP with me after I add them on Steam. I wonder how it keeps happening to anons.

I secretly want some of it to happen to me.

>>46279161
>>Self-righteous GM who doesn't allow any sex in his game
Oh no I can't force the group into terrible ERP, what a bad referee.

>>46283011
Trust me, it's actually not fun. I usually turn those games into massive cock-blocking sessions or I just ditch and don't come back until they start a new game.

Aside from that, having your character having to check for will save against seduction rolls is really annoying when it gets in the way of every conversation you have while trying to get your next quest.

>>46284557
Having a player rules lawyer with the GM and the GM doesn't know the term "GM's Fiat" gets old fast.
Especially when your GM is only denying whoever it is whatever action they want based on his personal views.
When sitting in a pub/tavern/bar/whatever-the-fuck-you-want-it-to-be and there is no alcohol, only milk, you must ask, "Are we playing a Legend of Zelda campaign?"

>>46283011
You have to understand that the people who have the mental deficiency to think to unironically initate that sort of thing in a group of friends is 1) going to do it poorly and 2) is going to be a real ugly son-of-a-bitch, a definite 'neckbeard'.

>>46284614
You only mentioned sex, dipstick, I get it.

>>46279161

>"I'm always against the players" mentality
I've never understood the players vs gm mentality. Mainly because I can't help but see that the GM shouldn't be able to lose if they are actually trying to kill the players. The GM can always throw whatever he likes at the players. The closest the GM can get to losing is failing to kill the players with one attempt. But the GM can always pull the 'I win' move of putting the party against two copies of themselves.


>Furry loving GM who always tries to get your character seduced by some kind of fox girl
Furries don't worry me. But I can see how the constant seduction would get annoying really quickly. But, if the rest of his GMing was decent, I'd probably respond by trying to get the seduction over with as quickly as possible. Maybe even try to have it happen in the backstory to reduce how much time the GM can talk about it during play.

Though I would be pushing for the sex to happen during a "fade to black".

>Self-righteous GM who doesn't allow any sex in his game because it's against his personal views, so obviously everyone else must cater to his views.

Some people are just uncomfortable about having certain things in an RPG. If it's easy to avoid mentioning them during play, then I consider it polite to do so. Though if removing one element does harm how much you enjoy the game, quitting the game is also polite.

Sex is something that's easy to simply not mention in a game.

>When sitting in a pub/tavern/bar/whatever-the-fuck-you-want-it-to-be and there is no alcohol, only milk, you must ask, "Are we playing a Legend of Zelda campaign?"

Yes, that would be annoying. If it were me, one of two things would happen:
- My character would drink something from the bar, without going into detail about what it is.
- If the GM wants me to select a specific thing to drink then, between sessions, I'd ask the GM about why there is no alcohol. I would force the GM into making it a plot point.

I'll post a story. It did happen. It was pretty silly, but in line with the entire campaign.

Fuckin' players man. Good times tho.
