I wouldn't call Yorrik a That Guy.
Of all the advisors I found him the most level headed for all that we argued on some key issues. He was well meaning, of strong principles, possessed moral integrity and never seriously tried to weasel out of things.
The dwarves on the other hand were a different matter.
>>48110407
Except Yorrik was never on the reasonable side of the issues he brought up, while being more level headed in other people's issues.
>>48110450
This is true and I wonder if it was intentional.
It took me some time to figure out why undead support never dropped lower than 80 despite throwing out most of his suggestions.
Also undead bride in painted body is best queen.
Would go as far as to suggest that undead were most loyal allies.
>>48110529
Possibly. Perhaps since he was the outsider on the other's issues he could use his noggin for them, but the issues he brought up usually concerned his love, passion and unlife: religion, at which point he threw logic out for his own emotions and world views.

Thank you

Divinity: Dragon Commander.
This game always interested me more for the strategic elements than the action or RTS parts, would it be possible to play effectively auto resolving those to focus on management?
>>48110529
Fact of the matter is that his religious advisement was 100% correct and fully justifiable in the long run. Going against the gods gave you a very real debuff.
>>48111396
Very possible.
During my play-through of it I went in to battle personally once, realized how terrible I was at it and never did so again.
You have generals for a reason.
>>48111396
If you are willing to throw throngs of your troops down the well. In the RTS parts you can easily win fights deemed already lost based on the troops by sheer force of your dragon farts or bottle necking their big boys and using artillery to murder them.
>>48111396
Plus you would miss the lovely grenadier quotes such as "Walking beer kegh reporting fer dooty"
>>48110407
I found myself disagreeing with him on basically everything. Even when he was on my side of a debate, I didn't agree with his rationale.
One exception though; the Imp version of "here's a policy I'm only going to suggest because you got to 80% approval with us that everyone else will hate", the one that involved exhuming elf skeletons because apparently they're made of uranium. I was on the Imp's side through the counter arguments of "muh ancestors", "maybe we shouldn't make superexplosives in the middle of a war" and whatever terrible argument the Dwarf had, but Yorick pointing out that some of these guys would eventually get back up if left interred made me go against it.
I would happily play a game that abandoned the lackluster RTS elements and just focused on making interesting decisions in a fantasy setOH WAIT.

The weird part: Out of character these guys are really good friends and the gnome was played by a really, really nice guy.

The Twist: It was actually pretty cool. It's always fun to do something interesting and player-driven with the plot, the whole thing was really fun and memorable and it made for one of those good D&D stories worthy of it's own greentext. And the campaign actually improved after that. I felt bad about throwing the DM's elaborate storyline out the window for the sake of one vain character whim, but he actually handled it really well and the campaign improved in some ways after that.

A word on thatguy: I never would have known. He was a fairly normal/nice dude. He could be a dick at times, but so could I, and it wasn't to an unusual extent. I guess he just gets really callous and self absorbed when he's into something. He almost recognizes it himself that he's a thatguy... He admits that he can't help but gravitate towards the Chaotic Neutral murderhobo rogue-type character, and wants to try something different. I sympathize because I'm the exact same way with cheesy Chaotic Good "huzzah!" warrior type characters, to the point where I actually struggled to be evil in the evil campaign.
The current campaign:
>Also evil, also Eberron, takes place a few years after the events of the previous campaign
>We work for the criminal organization our previous characters made. Joker, and the other PC's, are now NPC's, controlled by the DM to be parodies of their former selves.
>Dm is stricter now, knows when to say no and when to tell us that our bullshit won't work
>Thatguy's new character is still a murderhobo, but also practical, chill, and sane, and we all get along
>He still tries to sublty suggest things to the DM for the way he wants something to go "the npc's are probably going to [react in way that would be to his advantage] because that's the only way it makes sense, so let's count on that happening, right party?" but it's not a big detriment to our experience and the campaign is good. All is happy, even though he still inevitably gets on my nerves at some point each session.

I once knew a guy who went to my college who was legitimately the worst M:tG player I have ever seen. He was also literally a retarded autist who stank of filth, but that's tangential:
>Only played with pre-made decks or decklists he got from top 10 tourney lists that he'd drop over $100 on
>Still lost
>Played the game for two years
>Still struggled to understand even basic mechanics (like the fucking mana economy)
>Played with card sleeves
>Still managed to get the actual fucking cards greasy
>Got assmad when I beat his tourneylisted deck with a store-bought constructed
>when he wasn't actually using any of his deck's comboes
>got EVEN MORE assmad when I started pointing out what he did wrong and how he could have beaten me several times
>Now refuses to play with me
>does this to every M:tG player at our university
>Literally saw him trying to rope people who had no idea what Magic even was into playing him so he could win.

Nah, the really great part of the game is that everyone is just as much of a caricature as the other, and they happen on reasonable arguments mostly by accident, with a few key exceptions.
Yorrick going into a meltdown when he hears about the fanatic, and Edmund's reaction to them were great, and the Imp general thanking you for refusing them to perform certain experiments was God Tier.

that weren´t true, indeed all the people at the wall were only like "true" nerds, geeks and gamers, even /b/tards, not the cancer ones (its funny because the cancer and retarded-run-like-naruto fags gathered at a place called by themselves "the counterwall") and for the virgin part, im not shitting, The wall had more sex than the entire higschool, however we didn´t get bothered by being called virgins and betas because that help us to keep undesired people away, anyways:

So you gave the Imps access to Uranium because you disliked a dude.
Congratulations. Victory is irrelevant at this point as the sequel is going to be Fallout: Magical Desolation.
Okay so this is more of "That Girl" but I need to vent.
So my long time roleplaying group, which consists of my older brother and several of his friends who play weekly over Skype, recently got a new player.
It's the girlfriend of one of the guys who has been in the group the longest.
You can see where this is going.
While she's not -terrible- personality-wise, I've met her in person and she's alright. It's just that she does not understand Tabletop and RPing at all, and REFUSES to learn the system/lore of whatever we're playing. She's constantly having to be told what to roll even though it's been months and we only use on system for all our campaigns, it isn't that hard. She literally cannot into RPing, she just basically plays herself in the characters and will get mad at players for doing stuff in-character that negatively affects hers. Example: one friend started up his first campaign as GM in the group, an Exalted game. I was busy at the time and didn't get to join till later, and when my character was introduced the characters were engaged in combat with an enemy group. My character, who knows neither of the groups and has no reason to fight, sat it out and watched from the sideline. I was in character. She gets pissed and is constantly saying shit like "YOU CAN JOIN IN AT ANYTIME AND HELP YOU KNOW". Like jesus christ.
She also says shit like "I walk up to the guy and kill him". Not "I swing my blade at him" but just straight up says "I kill him".
Recently I started a new Werewolf: The Apocalypse campaign, and she wanted to join. But the thing is, she REFUSES to read any of the source material. She's a part of several of the other members' werewolf games but refuses to learn anything about it. So she's forced to make a character for my (note, HIGH-LEVEL) game, and she sends me a character with incorrect stats and a backstory that if you read it you wouldn't know it was a Garou character it was so bland.
The game started Sunday, and she didn't show.
>>48116326
I'm so fucking ready
>>48116298
>sex part im not meaning in a promiscuous way, i mean, in between us, and more often.
Like orgies? What the fuck are you saying anymore. I don't want to imagine the people from the images you've shown to us fucking, because they're all dorks and losers. You're just a fucking liar trying to make sure no one bullies you for being a fucking weine
The first part isn't really even a response to anything I've said at all besides that maybe you mean there's a lot of fucking liars and you're one of them.
>>48116389
Shit, forgot image
>>48116381
Oh, and when I told her to flesh out her Garou's backstory some she got whiny and bitchy and was making snarky remarks like "he wants me to fill out the character's whole family tree or something" to the others. No bitch, I just want you to actually show some interest in your goddamn character's backstory and the lore of the world you're playing in.
>>48116230
>>"REALLY? REALLY? REALLY YOU GUYS WANT TO FARM IN DUNGEONS AND DRAGOONS? I MEAN, ITS OK IN GAMES LIKE TIBIA OR WOW BUT YOU DONT WANT TO FARM IN DUNGEONS YOU GUYS CAN´T DO THAT"

So basically you let this assclown kill party members, act like an asshole and piss on your character and you did nothing because you didn't want to confront him.
Goddammit man, he was literally asking you to stop him; grow a spine next time and fight back!

This is a pretty legitimate precaution when somebody tries to have Evil character in a standard good-leaning game.

Aaaand there we go.
>>48118346
>So players rejecting your attempts at changing a character's backstory for them is cause for being booted out?
Yep. Because the original backstory (or more likely a total absence of one) is shit and is already being rejected and the GM is throwing him a lifeline. If he refuses the helping hand, he gets the kicking boot.
>you can't just talk to your players and see if there are other ideas that they might like to explore then you shouldn't be a DM.
Except he WAS talking to the player and seeing if he had any ideas on how to make character that isn't a mindless murderhobo.

I found my playstyle (sending the basic units in waves to grind down/tie up the enemy, and get massacred) until I either got enough good units to make a decisive push or the wave managed to grind down the enemy) to fit the general theme of "war is pretty bad my man" the game had.
Made the RTS aspect more enjoyable, especially once I got gas and massed artillery so I could make fantasy WW1

No, "friki" is a rough translation of "freak", and is meant as anyone strange, geeky or nerdy, more nerdy actually. Seeing how the whole fucking world is on the internet nowadays I wouldn't, by far, say that frikis are people that like either videogames nor the internet culture, but more like people on /tg/.
>>48116160
oh fuck not this again
None of my That Guy stories are particularly interesting.
Played with a DM once who insisted on bringing a DMPC into the game who was massively overleveled and was always trying to force the party onto the railroad, killing anyone who even got close to resisting.
Unsurprisingly, that campaign only lasted for one session.
Later learned that he always plays grumpy kill-your-own-party-at-the-drop-of-a-hat characters as a player.

This happened last night.
Visited a friend for a barbecue and decided to play DC Deckbuilder by cryptozoic. Fine, game was much better than street fighter and characters actually feel unique.
But That Girl starts bitching and whining up a storm about how people bought stuff before she did, the First Appearance attacks kept upsetting her plans, and how it wasn't fun and the game was stupid. This was while she wasn't distracted with candy crush or outright trying to skip my turn because "I have this cool combo to buy the thing". Even says, "I'm not going to block anon by buying this critical card because I am not an asshole."
Like isn't that the point of a deckbuilder?
Took the fun out of winning and the difference in points between me and the last placer was six points.
We play again because I don't know brain damage. She's stomping us down...
Not a single negative peep heard all game. None. She's fine. She's attentive. Host even makes fun and is like "This game sucks, boo, we should play something else. I should play candy crush."
That Girl even takes the time out to explain why she's doing the moves she does or what abilities are oh so good.
She wins, with the difference in points being like 45 to a second place 31.
Host calls her out like "Oh so now you're having fun right? We've only been saying you're winning since turn like five."
Her response, "Well, I didn't know I was winning. I thought I only got two of the major point cards."
I get social responsibilities to take part in things as I host so I don't blame the host and she was my ride since my car's dead. But dammit, woman!

I agree with you to an extent but you're proven mostly wrong by the fact that your post is preceded by many decent that guy stories.

>>48124068
It does. The amount of virgins on this site is staggering. Also, tons of people get offended here if you imply manlets are less than real men (which they literally are). This isn't a coincidence. They can't get laid because they're manlets. The real men that make fun of manlets (at least 5 foot 11. Maybe 5'10" if you're really attractive) don't have problems in the lady department. If this wasn't true manlets wouldn't get offended at being called out. You can't say anything about a tall guy's height to make them feel bad. That alone proves my point. But hey, there are always fat chicks. If you fail at that you could always join the beta manlets in r9k.
>>48125774
It's just like how only guys with small dicks say "size doesn't matter" in reference to their junk. Like microdicks manlets are a joke to both women and real men.

This is all your fault. You're worried about offending him. Put of character he literally asked you to fight back, in character he's the kind of person who's more offended by weakness, which you displayed by letting him do whatever, and the player LITERALLY TOLD YOU THIS.
I'm surprised your friend isn't here complaining about how "that guy" can't deal with conflict in a fucking conflict based game.
>>48117098
Umm... What? He didn't killl any party members, he didn't piss on my character, and I did confront him. That's why he stopped.

Not to mention hard. Starting a forest fire isn't just fireball ing a tree and hoping it spreads, unless there's a rare extreme drought there's enough ambient moisture in a forest to shut down fires.
He'd either need a dry season or literally months of preparation to pull that with standard fire magic.
>>48117006
>crying because he couldn't be a hero and save her
I'm trying to imagine a thought process behind this. Did he call 911? Think this story needs some elaboration.
>>48127188
No.
If he's the type to do bullshit like this, why would his word? Do you identify with him or something?
He said we just had to confront him in game, but that was bullshit. He was a dick anytime he was defied or confronted in game. He said we just had to confront him because he was trying to excuse himself a little, to avoid having to admit that he was just an asshole.
What's more is that I already had tried this, that's how I know he was full of shit. I literally kicked his character in the ass for doing something shitty. The thing was that this character was very well established as the "type" to kill someone for looking at him the wrong way, to not fight me was metagaming. But he didn't, and he was visibly unhappy, as he was any time he was ever confronted or defied.
>I'm surprised your friend isn't here complaining about how "that guy" can't deal with conflict in a fucking conflict based game.
Are you actually retarded?
I literally explained that I confronted him and it stopped. We had like a twenty minute conversation about it and he felt really bad, and then he stopped. His character was still an obnoxious murderhobo but he got along with every party character (we went through like five) perfectly after that.
And again, the only reason we put up with it was because it was only mildly annoying once every other session, and because we were all good friends trying to have fun. The only time I remember getting actually angry with him was for rolling an intimidate check on me and I failed the save. He was like "lol you're scared of me now" and I'm like "the fuck I am" and continued as if it didn't happen. And since I was visibly annoyed no one said anything and let it slide. You know why? Because we're all good friends trying to have fun.

Fuck I'm stupid. I'm so used to duking it out with 4chan over everything that I fell for it
>>48127671
Oh, we totally are. The act of complaining about it threw me.
Here's one.
How do you run a game where there's a blatant and clear division in players. They simply do not like each other OOC'ly.
One of my friends decided to take a leaf out of my book and run a game. That's good. The intention? To bring together all his high school friends. Oh no.
Long story short, there's a lot of bitterness between everyone. There's token efforts to co-operate, but the moment somebody makes a mistake, everyone piles on them like a cunt.
The sole reason I go is because I like this guy, despite thinking that he's wasting his time trying to pander to a majority jealous, bluecollar fuckwits who have nothing to do with each other out of game and in game can't help but vent their RL frustrations against each other. It's a shit state of affairs.
>>48127830
The ship has sunk, abandon it
>>48116406
In my high school it was the band kids, the girls specifically, who were known as being whores. I don't see how a bunch of nerds fucking nerds is all that strange.
Since I've only played with newbies, including me, no one really knew how to properly play or DM so it always fell on me to read the rules and make campaigns for us group of friends. The guy who bought the books and got us started was present in every group the two of us managed to get together. You'd imagine him being a serious player considering that he was the one that got us all into gaming, but no.
He always played the same character in every game. A metagaming, dumb, emotionless jock of a hoarder that didn't get along with any other character. He never cared much about continuing the adventure and would sometimes act against the other players just for the sake of slowing down the progress.
As a DM I tried punishing him several times but it never amounted to anything. Either he didn't care and just found another way to continue his antics, or it would become too boring for all of us if he always ended up in an empty jail cell.
During one session every time I tried to punish him for his actions one of the other players got all of the punishment while the dumb jock walked free. We thought it was hilarious though.
He didn't care about consequences one bit. If he needed something from a store and it was closed, he simply picked up his axe and started chopping down the door, even if it was in broad daylight with citizen and guards patroling the streets.
If they had to pass a room full of undead he didn't bother with trying to think up a tactic or an alternate route. He simply opened the door and started chopping by himself. Due to lucky rolls he was the only one who walked away unharmed from that encounter. Another player lost both his arms...
When another player was hanging from a tower with a rope he simply cut the rope for no reason. I didn't allow it though.
Despite him making it near impossible to DM we all thought it was hilarious, mostly because his characters should have died a dozen times over but he always came out on top despite not trying to.

Yep. Otherwise I'm in favour of imp policies in general. Uranium isn't bad. Explosions are only bad when they're not made by my armies. And my armies aren't bad by definition, because I'm king. I personally believe in democracy, but fuck implementing it when I am both king and dragon.
That entire system is so pointless. You can safely ignore all of the decisions, and the most popular policy will be adopted by default, which is always to your benefit. But if you play the game like that, then you have to hand in your /tg/ pass, because you're in the wrong place.

Meanwhile I'm running another game with four lads and a lady and we're having a magnificent time, no problems with that group yet. Thatguyfaggot wanted to join but I told him no, so he got mad and showed up one night and interrupted the game to try to force himself in. One of the players felt bad and asked if he could join, I told him to look at thatguy's character sheet. And by sheet, I really meant that nine-page monstrosity with a fully-roadmapped min-maxed to fuck belt of battle celerity white raven tactics "got all my gear and levels in order" piece of shit.

A lot of people on 4chan are grown ass adults that somehow can't get laid and get angry if anyone else mentioned that they've had or, in especially pathetic circumstances, convinces themselves that these other people are lying to seem cooler on an anonymous board, telling themselves that everyone on 4chan is a permavirgin.

Then either get that mouse hand ready and burninate the shit out of all you see, or prepare stacks in advance.
Usually, you can pull off a win as long as you can survive the first onslaught
Remember that you can use Unit commands while in dragon form, which helps tremendously when getting hit by AA fire.

Dude, if you don't want this chick in your group... You can just not have her as part of the group. There's only so much you can do about the other games, but if you're running a campaign you can add in and boot whomever you choose, within reason.
To avoid a dramasplosion though, I'd ask her, politely, to go back over the character and correct the mistakes, and even offer to help out with making her background more fleshed out. During games, ask her for more details when she blandly describes actions or puts minimal RP effort into the game.
If she fixes her shit, awesome! But if she's as crazy as you say, then she'll get bitchy and you're well within your social rights to remove her from the group. It pretty much sounds like she just wants to spend more time with her boyfriend and would be more comfortable with a video game that's less numbers/RP intense than tabletop.

This is why I hate Paladin players. I have never been in a party where me and the Paladin didn't have serious issues between us.
>>48135797
Oh no. The paladin smited evil.
You know, I once had a party where the wizard cast a spell. it was awful.
>>48135967
I'm fine with smiting evil but not when that evil is another player, it's a team effort, not a pvp free for all.
>>48135997
then maybe, just maybe, you should consider that the paladin literally can't NOT smite evil, and make an effort to get along with them.
amazingly, acting immorally amongst moral people has consequences. either stealth harder or don't make an edgelord.
>>48135797
>Get revenge on the paladin
I'm pretty sure this is bait, but murdering the lady who you robbed to get back on the paladin when her only action was reporting the theft is pretty much the definition of evil, and Paladins are kind of supposed to smite that.
Not really sure if it's really worthy of a full story, but I managed to turn a party of That Guys into This Guys, through having my character be the Party Dad, by teaching all their edgy orphan mary sues/stus important life lessons, cracking dad jokes, protecting them at all costs, scolding them when they misbehave, and other sorts of fatherly dad shit, so that by the time we finished them campaign they grew up into respectful, not edgy well developed characters with actual personality besides "orphan horrible past so dark and edgy".

Nobody likes having their character killed, I have had 3 or 4 die at the hands of a Paladin (different players) If you aren't allowed to play an evil character why is it an option in the first place? If you do evil things that means the Paladin has the right to kill you? Paladin players only play Paladins because they get off on killing other player characters

You're That Guy, right? Why are doing shit that forces the Paladin to fight you, and then complaining about it? You should have learned your lesson after the first time.
>>48136663
He is totally That Guy. If his evil-aligned characters don't work with a party, I bet it is because it wasn't him being evil-aligned, but his evil aligned character doing stuff the rest of the party had moral obligations (pala, cleric) to stop, so removing him from the party makes perfect sense. Honestly, if your evil character is in a party with a smite happy pala, it would be in his best interest not to trigger said pala. And the core motivation of evil-aligned is, even fluff wise, selfishness, and self preservation is part of that.

I hate how utterly ineffective it is to actually talk with people about problems. I could just have done the schoolyard standard and gotten everyone onside behind closed doors, but when you actually ask people to deal with problems in the open now you're the bad guy.
I feel like I've been going backwards. Back when I was in my late teens I did all that manipulative shit and got my way a lot of the time. Then I moved out and tried to rise above that stuff. Deal with things like an adult. I can't decide if it's because most people who play RPGs are still in the highschool state of mind and I should find better friends; or if that's just how people are and I was naive to stop using a method that worked.
>>48140869
It's just conformism, nobody wants to rock the boat, and when you suddenly do so they reflexively lump in with the status quo.
Or the GM is attached to "tim" and they all know it and they know that trying to do anything about it will get them kicked as well.
Don't slide back into passive aggressive and manipulation, anon, keep rising above.
Although a little bit of gauging opinions beforehand wouldn't hurt. At least you'd know whether the others care or not.

Long story short, she won't come back for a 2nd session because "her other tables take up too much time and she won't have room for another game".
Why the fuck did she come, I'll never know.
But I'm pretty happy I'll never see her again, because she left a bad impression on everyone.
>>48136881
Not him, but my cleric is lawful evil, and she's the god-damn party leader of a bunch of good PCs. What so many players don't somehow realize is that being blatantly evil in any society will end poorly. You've got to be smart, and be self-serving when appropriate. I've killed innocent NPCs before, but only when necessary and it can't get back to me, and the populace herald my character as a defender of the lower people in society.

Honestly, if your male character is in a party with a sjw with PTSD, it would be in his best interest not to trigger said sjw. And the core motivation of male is, even fluff wise, selfishness, and self preservation is part of that.
I did some substitutions to show you how stupid this whole argument is. Nobody was forced to do anything, they have control over their characters.
Both of the players went against the flow of the group. Nobody asked the paladin to go annoy the rogue.
The paladin went out of his way to find the rogue because he wanted to go dredd on him (it's very much meta to interrogate everyone in town to get a justification to fall upon the faulty player). Even after that, forcing the rogue to buy back the brooch was essentially playing the morale police on the rogue with no way for the rogue to escape it (provided enough time the paladin would have found out eventually).
note: I am not taking the side of the rogue player, the vengeance of the rogue was petty, innapropriate and reckless, he's also to blame.
A better way to handle it would have been for the paladin to froce the rogue to steal back the brooch and then give it back.

Do you have to try to be this fucking retarded? The paladin gave the other player an out to the situation that wasn't just fighting, this is exactly what a paladin would do, make the wrong-doer do the right thing to make up for his acts. The thief went full fucking retard after that.

>this monday
I'm DMing the first campaign that my current group manages to play for more than a month without interruptions
last week, THAT GUY, responsible of fucking up every single one of our games since he was the perma-dm, started yawning and lyied his fucking head on the table, making me interrupt the session there to avoid slapping his fucking face.
to give you the measurements of the character, he's one of those autistic cunts that says stuff like "magic is stupid because you can't explain it with physics", and spends all his fucking time talking about genres, settings and roleplay systems without having ever managed to reach the end of a single goddamn campaign in his lifetime, both for his inability to DM and pure laziness ("I don't draw maps because its too much of an hassle")
"come on, maybe he was just tired by the summer hots, next time will go better"
I repeat to myself naively.
this monday, we were saying.
>wait for all the players to arrive.
>game starts from the battle they left
>autist start yawning
>I pretend to not see him
>they enter the boss area
>I describe it. and there is an goddamn bloody fucking obvious giant door that leads to the boss
>autist, with crossed arms, half asleep face and paternalistic voice: "And now I guess we have to find the key hidden in a magic chest to open the door that obviously lead to the boss"
I lost my shit. boss was behind the first door they opened. it dies instantly and congratulations music starts playing
session over.
after this, he accused me to have dirtied the manual, that is not even his possession, with the most annoying fucking attitude one man could stand, and I swear to fucking god if I wasn't inside the home of a friend that lives with his mother, I would have punched that faggot to a bloody christfuck pulp.
the outcome is: I'm done. three years this group managed to play a handful of games that led only to boredom and getting pissed. next week, fresh start with a new group. FUCK YOU
>>48130053

>>48147143
>stealing is wrong, so go steal the brooch again
stealing rom a fence?
Moral relativism is a slippery slope I give you that, but the premise of the rogue is pretty much sneakery and thievery.
If the paladin must obey law to the point instead of adhering to a moral code and protect justice, he's lawful stupid.
Either your paladin has a bit of leeway in how he defends justice either, there's no point in playing a paladin since all your actions are defined in a book and you play like a little programmed drone.
Needless to say, this kind of paladin is incompatible entirely with rogues. His fault for playing a paladin then.

>we get a messenger from one Capa Varsazi, a prominent local merchant, who tells us the Capa (a title the DM says is equivalent to "Don") would like to introduce himself and has invited us to his manner
>we figure their might be a good business deal in it, decide to take him up on it.
>we get to his mansion and see that it's fairly lavish. And he has a lot of servants and employees around, who look kind of like rough customers. Like they might be somewhat dangerous.
>none of them are overtly hostile though, they just lead us to the Capa, who they speak of very deferentially.
>Capa Varsazi greets us warmly and welcomes us to the city, thanking us for making time for a humble merchant like himself, and goes on this spiel about how we're obviously successful people and men of the world, and as an entrepeneur he admires that.
>But, he says, while we're bon vivants and worldly men, we can't be expected to know the state of affairs in such a rustic and provincial town as theirs. The economy could be de-stabilized by a sudden influx of coin, and the Capa expresses concern that we might cause just that if we share our wealth with the generosity of spirit he's sure we have.
>He says that while he's just a humble merchant, he has a deep love for his city and a great concern for its welfare, and hopes that if he isn't presuming too much he might offer us his services as an advisor in our business transactions. So that we buy from enterprises who can handle our trade responsibly and blah blah blah...
>>48159027
>Now the DM was delivering all the Capa's lines in his best Marlon Brando imitation and we're meta-gaming bastards, so we immediately meta-game that Capa Varsazi is the head of the Mafia. And that he is courteously shaking us down, and that we can assume the suppliers he suggests will be his business interests
>talking it over briefly out of character, we realize that we've never worked with the Mafia in a fantasy game before. Generic Thieve's Guilds, sure, but never actually Da Mob.
>if we can get off on the right foot now, we can have the Mafia as a contact, and that'll be useful if we ever need poisons, forged papers, contraband smuggled, or anything like that. Or employment as muscle, if we ever need some quick cash.
>the party face was just expressing our thanks that such a great entrepeneur and pillar of the community as the Capa would offer us the benefit of his council and our gracious acceptance, when That Guy announces his Barbarian will attack Capa Varsazi.

>we point out that we haven't actually been threatened, and in fact the meeting's been rather pleasant.
>"There's an implied 'or else' in his offer; it's an implicit threat."
>we point out that Groinslam the Barbarian has 6 Int and no ranks in Sense Motive, and any implicit threat is totally lost on him.
>"Well...he's weak and civilized, a decadent city-dweller. I want to kill him."
>we try to talk him out of it, we point out that we're outnumbered and the only weapons we have ready access to are daggers (the rest was in a portable hole the rogue carried concealed), and that the rest of us actually want to work with Don Corleone. We think the character's cool, the contact with the Mob could be useful as hell, and we really don't want to blow this and have to fight our way out of his stronghold because our savage friend suddenly tried to kill the fucking Godfather.
>"It's what my character would do."
>>48159041
Since our DM never compromised player agency except in cases of magical compulsion he wouldn't just shut That Guy down outright. Cue impromptu gangland hit and resulting bloodbath as we fought our way clear of a mansion full of thugs out for our blood, with only a few hundred GP worth of looted finery for our troubles. At which our party was friendless, in a foreign city, accessories to an unprovoked murder. The Godfather had had business arrangements with the civic authorities, the power vacuum we had just created was going to destroy the relative peace the Mafia had enforced, the status quo was fucked and everyone who had benefitted from it would want our heads on pikes.
The session wrapped up there and we discussed where to go from there besides fleeing the city and becoming outlaws, which appealed to no one. Some possibilities were raised, none of which were ever realized because the game just kind of fizzled out after that.
That Guy was not included in the next game we got off the ground.
>>48159047
Why didn't you just slap the barbarian down in-character?
>That Guy was not included in the next game we got off the ground.
If you were going to do that then why not retcon and restart with him gone?
>>48159074
>Why didn't you just slap the barbarian down in-character?
Because by the time we'd have had him subdued/dead, the Don would have already had at least one unplanned body piercing and the bodyguards would have been in the room looking to push our shit in. That's a situation that's hard to talk your way out of when your line is "The dumbass trying to kill your boss does not represent us", and we had no Diplomancers in the party. It was pretty much beyond recovery.
>If you were going to do that then why not retcon and restart with him gone?
Morale failure, I guess?
>>48111396
I ended up using console commands to cheat through all the battles, because the policy decisions/waifu crafting was infinitely better than the really, really shitty RTS mechanics in that game, though you could just cheese in your base with your dragon commander and win every fight.
The 'maximum amount of troops you can own based on the size of the territory' was a neat idea though.
