What Veeky Forums-subject issues do you just need an anonymous outlet to vent about?
I'll start
>Join a play-by-post game
>Really excited about it
>GM bows out
>PC takes over
>PC-turned-GM had developed an IC relationship with another PC
>Game now centers on PC-turned-GM and the husbando PC
>Want to keep playing, but this shit is getting ridiculous because 99% of updates are flirts between those two
>want to get new players for my game
>player who's house we play at is too scared of rapists to let me invite people she doesn't know
I get that it's her place and she's in the right that you can't trust randos, but god damn I just want some new players.
>Joined a game on an invite from a friend
>One of the players is a dick to everyone, really argumentative
>After two sessions, still couldn't tell if his character was a joke character or not, only just recently received confirmation that the character was indeed intended to be the way it is
>Even after having been confronted about being a dick, continued to be a dick to the other players.
I'm probably gonna drop the game, which is unfortunate since half the people in it are friends of mine, it's just this one rando the DM recruited off some gamefinder somewhere that is kinda ruining it for me, and the DM won't kick the problem player on account of "not wanting to exclude anyone."
And it's not just me either. The entire group doesn't like him.
>spend time putting together session
>only one player actually involves themselves in the game, another usually does but this week was tired, and another is completely fucking incapable of doing shit despite me intentionally creating an area and npcs specifically for them to interact with after they complained the previous session
asking the group what they want to do and getting complete fucking silence kills my desire to run this game
>Join game group

>Everyone else is excuses out the ass
>Some times "Why are you playing if life it's this hectic" levels
>Group has always put up with and had to deal with members who are retarded when it comes to scheduling
>Rescheduled game day multiple times to please these members
>Minor bitching on my end but put up with it because it's a great game
>Eventually have to ask if we can reschedule
>Gm "tries" to get the group to vote
>No one does anything
>Am fucked out of the game because of this
>Gm says I can join in if the schedule ever changed to a better day
>not planning on
A week later and I'm still fuming over shit cockery, guess that shows me to try and be a polite gamer.
That fucking sucks, dude.
>Change system
>GM wants to translate chars
>Try my best to translate char taking into account stuff that worked before doesn't work now
>"Shit, user, your character was able to do this minor thing that you almost never used and now he can't, you aren't trying hard, redoo"
>"If I spend every resource ever I might, and just might, be able to do that minor thing I almost never used and in the process literally lose everything that made my character my character and every key abilities"
>"Well, do that, after all this minor thing you never used it is what I think it's important even though I know you never used it"
FUCK YOU!!
>Start campaign at FLGS
>Super lucky—not a That Guy in the group
>Five great players who show up consistently each week

>Falling seriously behind in school
>I don't know how long I can keep up the charade
>too scared of rapists to let me invite people she doesn't know
Is it like a paranoia thing or does she live in a bad area?
I'm beyond mad, just goes to show you that someone can say every nice thing in the world to you and still stab you in the fucking back in the end.
Fuck.
