So naturally, I had to kick his ass out of the group after he didn't correct his behavior.
We have a bit of a falling out after he demanded his character sheet back, which I told him that he could come to my house if he really wanted it for organized play events, which he declared a "waste of time"
One week, he sends me a message on social media during one of the worst flu bugs I've ever had in my life, spoiling for a fight but being too passive aggressive to actually engage me directly, leaving messages on my DEAD phone that I was a "coward for avoiding him", eventually starts posting personal attacks on social media, I call him up to talk about, we have at it for a bit and then...
Is it okay to kick people out of the group if they're THAT bad without "the talk"?

Don't think of it as a corrupted old image! Think of it as a relic of the past, with a patina that shows the weight of the years that make it noble and memorable. Why, it's a moment of nostalgia for how things once were! A treasured artifact of yesteryear.

FFS, why do people feel entitled to others energies and attentions? Some of us play once a month or have to wait even longer before we get to game, if someone acts like an annoying twit that makes that special once in a blue moon night of D&D or whatever really unenjoyable, they shouldn't be so shocked and hurt when they get kicked out of the group.
Oliver Perez
Here's the difference, if it is a matter of playstyle difference, you talk to your problem player or BETTER YET, talk to every player before the game starts and discuss everybody's expectations. If the player is terrible for OTHER reasons, then I'd say boot 'em out.
Austin Miller

That's not what they get blamed for though. That's a straw man put up by liberals. Bad things that do get attributed to immigration are large scale things like a flooded labor market and increased crime rates.

Nathaniel Barnes
I'm running a 5e game and one of my players is a 3tard who just can't fucking stop theorycrafting. It's a game where I've emphasized social interaction and exploration as being just as important as combat, but he doesn't give a shit and just wants to do with 5e exactly what he did with 3.pf: try to break the game over his knee. He doesn't give a single hot fuck about who his character is, how his character fits into the world, or why and how his character learned his skills and abilities. His character is numbers on a page and he has put zero effort into anything unrelated to combat, and he chose the hermit background because he thought the Discovery feature would give him a mechanical edge, and he said the other background features suck and aren't worth taking.
It's been non-stop complaints from him about how 5e has no options, it doesn't have enough variety, there aren't enough splatbooks, there aren't enough spells, the feats suck and you don't get enough of them, you don't get bonus spells for having a high casting stat, and so on and so forth into infinity. And boy oh boy does he ever hate bounded accuracy.
I didn't think people like him existed, I thought they were just strawmen people made up as fuel for edition wars, but nope. They exist, and there's one in my game right now, and I kind of want to kill him and eat his heart to gain his power.
Eli King
They always talk like this too
Samuel Cruz
>Giant run on sentences.
Kevin Diaz
I wouldn't handle it in game. I would just talk to him out of the session privately and just offer him a way out of your game if he likes 3.x so much more (It helps to tell him that you aren't his fucking jukebox and you're running a 5e game because YOU like it).
Also, it is a bit more prep heavy, but you should look into running your 5e game in a more old-school fashion. Even though it has tools like CR to make it into a strategic miniature fighting game, 5E runs best when your players are active, not reactive and actively searching for solutions outside of combat, because it will not solve everything. Just discuss your expectations beforehand and make sure your players are on board.
You told this one recently, didn't you? He's just being an Internet Tough Guy. Egg him on and see if he'll do more stupid illegal shit.
Adrian Fisher
Whew, what a guy
Levi Collins
You know what made me really happy the other day in my 5e game? One of my players took the dueling fighting style for his fighter but roleplayed it as him finally mastering a fighting style of a particular culture taught to him by a contact/patron in the large port capital city the party currently operates out of.
I'm just going to pull a Shadowrun next time and make a stupid house rule about being able to have a number of contacts equal to your CHA modifier, with scaling costs for more important contacts..
Samuel Cox
Yes, when you talk with someone that knows what is he talking about. "X" blaming is generally used to talk about shifting blame for unrelated things. When you are talking to Whaleman the GUO, and he says he can't find a job because there are too many Venezuelans in the country it's clear he doesn't know or care about actual immigration problems.
Eli Wood

Tyler James

Jace Flores
Thanks, this thing is good reading and good advice.
My current 5e game is heavily modeled after early 90s JRPGs so I think I'm going to start making some changes to how I run it to make it feel a little more old-school.
Mason Edwards
There's an old dude who's the dad of the chick who DMs SKT the table across from ours. Can't tell you how many times he interrupts his daughters game to go on and on about "well back in my day in AD&D your character had to go out and make her weapons and armor them selves. It was uphill both ways and blah blah blah. " Who are these people that just love to suck the fun out of the things I love?

>too lazy to actually come up with a character so he just types in something generic on google and copies it when everyone else actually puts in effort to make PCs or alternatively >makes the same kind of character literally every time, just himself but as gnome or whatever This is especially true with how bat shit crazy it's been getting, especially in Europe. nationalreview.com/article/445237/sweden-crime-rates-statistics-immigration-trump-fox-news >These statistics confirmed that immigrants were significantly overrepresented amongst offenders, in particular in committing violent crimes. The foreign born were four times more likely to be suspects in homicide cases than those with Swedish origin, and 4.5 times more likely to be suspects in rape cases. Too lazy to look for the labor market data, but it's true as well. This shit is /pol/ 101.

I'm the kind of guy to come up with a minimalist background and flesh out the character through play. On a scale of one to ten, how okay is this?

His character is numbers on a page and he has put zero effort into anything unrelated to combat, and he chose the hermit background because he thought the Discovery feature would give him a mechanical edge, and he said the other background features suck and aren't worth taking. Have a guy like that in my AoR game, He pulled a fast one on me and managed to get all the tricked-out gear he needed to twink-out his character. Proceeds to, in the very next encounter march out in front of a company of 57 B1 battle droids planning to take them on all on his own, and proceeds to get turned into Swiss Cheese. I gotta tell you Munchkins get SUPER SALTY when things don't go their way. Hell I didn't even do any weird shenanigans, they were basic B1s with generic blaster rifles. Just a lot of them, and he knew that going in.

It's the best way, really. If you go into a game expecting your character to be exactly what you want, there's a lot of things that can go wrong, and that's before you even factor in your own ego or expectations of the character.
Owen Bailey
Cool, thanks. I often hear people talk about having a page or more of backstory and wonder how the fuck they can do that. I sometimes create characters even if I'm not in a game, and always paint their backstories in broad strokes in case I want to use the later.

I always balk at people who have over a page of backstory, or backstory that establishes their characters as way too important or powerful. Children of guild masters who control half the world, princesses in waiting, that sort of thing always sets off some warning alarms for me.
Elijah Robinson
I usually have nearly a page in backstory, but that's because I load it with hooks for the GM to use. To me, a backstory's purpose is to let the GM know what the character's origins are and why they are traveling to work it into the campaign. If your backstory has nothing the GM can use to involve you further into the game, you may as well not bothered turning one in. My last pc was a mountain guide whose village was attacked, most of it's people ritually sacrificed to power some kinda thing, and survived when an outside force routed the invaders. Ended up a refugee, and joining the outsider's military to pay for his remaining family's new life.

Next time you see someone ignoring data about climate change because of his own skewed beliefs, before you say anything, remember back to the time you ignored crime data about immigrants because of your own skewed beliefs.
Juan Brooks
>data presented in a vacuum and distorted to serve an agenda is the same as data gleaned from several hundred independent international sources Sorry, user, you aren't winning this one.
Kayden Turner
I'm trying something new in regards to my backstory with my current character. I have the general strokes made up and solidified in my head for a nice, simple backstory, but it's not written down anywhere. Instead, after every session I write a journal entry from my characters perspective about a page and a half long each detailing what occurred the last time we played. In addition to being nice reminders of whats happening for other players, as we don't play very frequently, it allows me to sprinkle indirect characterization into the writings. Stuff like what he's worried about and why, brief mentions of his older brother, his son, or home. Self-doubts and shortcomings, etc.. So far it's been a nice way to satisfy my 'tism for endless writing, flesh out my character, and help my party stay on track so we don't have to waste time every session talking about what we did last time.
Thoughts on this method?
My dm says he loves the work, and that feels nice too.
Michael Edwards

I fail to see whats wrong with how he talks.
as for the giant run on sentence, doesn't bother me, but I get off on torturing the English language. If it does bother you, do yourself a favor and never read "Repent Harlequin said the tick tock man". An entire scene is done as one sentence.

It's more the non-sequiturs than the run-on sentences. Also he won't stop mentioning the goblin thing? Not sure what that's about.
