Cringeworthy players of your favorite system

Hate those fuckers who make everything about their most recent favorite powerwank fantasy anime and loudly bitch when anyone tells them it's other than perfect.
Lost a WoD game to JoJo, a DnD game to Sword Art, a Fate game to BoBoBo.

Sounds like your DM is a fucking weeb.

Fucking BoBoBo?

Tell us about their character pls

Indeed, please tell me he had a turd for a head or threw farts.

I played PF for the first time and my DM constantly referred to himself as GOD.

He also brought his trap gf who wouldn't shut it

It's like I lost my tabletop virginity to the fat slut at a party

>trap

>gf

you mean trap bf?

Well, yeah.

People who find a way to bring 2e and how much better it is in every conversation. Yes, it has its strengths, but we're not discussing it, sit down and shut up.

I Wanna Be The Gaijin.

People who won't shut up about their stats and bonuses. We get it, the recent level up made you better at combat. Can we now please get back to the story?

Theres a guy in my current game who does this shit. Worst part is he never picks one relevent to what we're doing. We started working for the spy corps, and i know for a fact he was one of the people who voted for that start, and the only weapon and proficiency he took was a massive fucking wall gun taller than he is. Oh and his character is a beautiful frail pale elf with great honking tits. Subtle. I wonder if she might be his waifu(spoiler: she is)

People who insist on playing a flawed character who's shit at everything and will never amount to anything important.

We're playing a roleplaying game, the GM PROBABLY has something in store for us. Why would you be out here if you weren't COMPETENT at something at the very least?

>tfw I do that merely as exercises in how well I understand character creation
>tfw I made an uncouth face for shadowrun because of a shitposter
>youtube.com/watch?v=bbkZx5QBCfI&t=214s

>a Fate game to BoBoBo
I don't know about the others, but that one definitely sounds like an improvement.

The only thing I can think of that irks me to no end is when characters act cognizant of in-game mechanics. Like a Barbarian who will actually say In-Character they need to back-up from the frontline because they've only got two rounds of rage left. I've got no problem with a guy saying IC that they're tiring out or that they can't keep this up much longer but actually saying it verbatim pisses me off.

Ok this guy is a mediocre player but I just have to bitch about him
> overweight dude with atrocious acme
> believes moon landing was faked
> believes most sports competitions are rigged (for money or something)
> believes 9/11 was a conspiracy
> let it slip he is 'open to the idea' the ISS is fake
> what you see through telescopes is just a hologram
We tried to show him that Wikipedia page 'proofs for the moon landings' but he brushed us of and just said he wasn't here to discuss that. He talks about it anyway he just shuts down when we try to prove him wrong.

Anyway he plays a meme 'DEUS VULT' Paladin. Legit played 'We Are Number One but its the first crusade' to announce the idea.

Doesn't matter what system you play there's always one asshole who decides that not only does the "party" need a "leader" but that it's going to be him/her/it.
Then they get all butthurt when the rest of the party prefers to work together to solve problems and overcome challenges instead of being ordered around by an idiot.

...

I will never understand why Deus Vult caught on as a meme.

I will also never understand why people want to play Meme: The Character.

I feel old.

>believes most sports competitions are rigged (for money or something)
this is probably more true than you think

If you think playing a crippled plague victim who doesn't know how to use a sword at level 5 is okay, you're part of the problem.

Does the crippled plague victim have magical mind powers to help overcome his disabilities?
Because you just described a Pathfinder oracle with the scarred curse and that's a tier 1 class.

I make my living figuring out what my DM or other players hate the most and doing that.

By the end of the game they'll hate it just a little bit less

I know my 5e GM doesn't like my propensity to homebrew in order to fit sometimes very specific concepts. I mean, it's not usually to be overpowered, but admittedly I'd rather homebrew than take a bunch of weak options to fit what I want to achieve.

>I will never understand why Deus Vult caught on as a meme

It always came across to me as an attempt by alt-right Christfags to try and ride the meme train and appear hip and cool again.

Conspiracy theorists are the fucking worst, hands down. Because everything is a conspiracy, and everything that proves their conspiracy wrong is just another conspiracy. I don't understand how these people can hear the shit that comes out of their mouth and not think "maybe none of this is true and maybe I'm just fucking nuts".

D&D 5e.
Myself.

I just really don't like Touhoufag. But is that really so wrong?

But if you disagree or have a dissenting opinion, that means you're a cuck triggered lefty faggot etc etc etc.

Veeky Forums's not a place of political discourse, is my point.

I'm just imagining him talking about jet fuel can't melt steel beams while talking about how the Jews control the world while playing a paladin.

My favorite system is dnd 5e because it's the only system my group will play
In 5e there's that guy
>Doesn't know most of the rules after 3 year campaign
>Needs help ever fucking combat to determine what he should do or what his spells do
>Doesn't remember to hit, saves, initiative, skills, or anything of numerical value despite it being on his character sheet
>Used to kinda pay attention
>Now he just shows up and starts taking my fucking books about not dnd stuff to read while ignoring combats and npc interactions
>Has actually pressured the dm into forcing a very important source of lore into fucking off by saying "I'm bored"
>Too much of a pussy to get with a chick
>Has horrible back story with him being yaoi boy at age 4
>Character was "I am emo and have scars and tattoos" and "I don't care if people don't like me"
>Because of people not liking him he decided to remove all that shit by magic
>Complains about magic that makes camping possible anywhere because it makes things easier
>Scared off the group girl by writing a terrible fan fiction of their characters getting together and sharing it with everyone
>Wants to end sessions early all the fucking time no matter what
>Is a huge pussy who whenever confronted by people's actions he immediately dodges them by saying "okay okay I'll do that" and then doesn't do that
>Threatened to leave sessions early by going to a support group thing but then couldn't get into the support group
>forgot own terrible back story so when it came back to haunt him he didn't know it
>Has morals that make no sense with "there was to be a balance to good and evil"
>Party leader is destroyer of evil and he's been with the party 3 ingame years
>Says he worships a god but doesn't actually do anything related to that god
>DM pandering made his character effective, not his choices
>passive aggressive
>We tell him most of this stuff and he says he'll improve, only to faulter
>would kick him, but we're his only friends

The cringe is real

>shadow demon neko DMPC
Red flags don't get any redder. But then you say "has", so is he still your DM? Are things going smoothly in spite of that?

Playing absolute losers can be fun as fuck as long as the entire group is doing it and the players don't want to wallow in mediocrity forever.

Oh Jesus fuck, that's awful.
user. Look up "Geek social fallacies". You have no obligation to associate with awful people because you're the only one who tolerate their awfulness.

The who?
Dude with Moescape?

I always figured rogues were people like Han Solo, Malcom Reynolds, Gambit, Robin Hood, Catwoman, Jack Sparrow but almost all rogues I've played with went full chaotic evil/stupid murderhobo.

Look, you might play a criminal but that doesn't mean you have to be a dick.

>play PF
>go into thread
>incessant ruleslawyering
>ask a question about how the upper class would use magic
>every single answer is that either they are Wizards, or they are identical to real world Medieval aristocracy

For fuck's sake, what if I want a mundane upper class who buy magic items just like the fucking players do? All of these cunts are so set in their ways, it's unbelievable. They're exactly like the rest of Veeky Forums who complains about 3.PF, except they unironically like all the shit everyone else hates.

I just want to use the system to run a fun game. And I really hate this munchkin attitude with creatively interpreting rules and building entire characters in mechanics-based gimmicks. No, how about you just play a fucking character instead of a balance sheet?

There's this real problem with idiots who think every class comes with a mandatory personality. So they play every Barbarian as Conan's retarded cousin, every Rogue as a backstabbing dickbag, every Paladin as a no-fun-allowed thought police officer, every Ranger as an aloof, animal-fucking faggot. And so on, and so forth.

Usually Fighter is the only class they can play properly, because it's such a normal class there's no real stereotype for it.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for the oppertunity to play a Rogue who is simply a spy and isn't interested in stealing anything apart from useful intelligence in service of his nation. But of course that means running with a DM who doesn't assume greed is the natural prime motivator of any character.

>a Fate game to BoBoBo.
This is really not the thing you should complain about.

Everyone's entitled to their beliefs and god knows mine are most likely considered bat shit crazy.

If nobody agrees with you why do people still bring it up? I'll never understand people like him.

>everything I don't like is done by the Nazis

And here you are complaining about conspiracy theorists...

Son, the first person who ever told me about "Deus Vult" was the local chapter leader of the International Socialists.

You're why L5R is shit, good job.

You might be me user

I just want to have a group who would be all cool with doing shit that isn't mechanically viable since I know how to make it work as a DM, but of course I have one guy who minmaxes unchained barbarians to one shot every single encounter and gets salty if he can't

Or you just a little bit more

Hot.

Do you have a link to that page by any chance? I really want to see that clusterfuck of a list.

I had that guy in Warhammer 2 ed campaign.

In this system, there's skill that let you "weave" winds of magic, to make casting easier. I'm not sure how it's called in english version, but let's call it "weaving".

Also, magic in WhFR has hight chance to make wizard live harder, so it should be used with caution. This guy however had huge problem with magic decisions, so his usual turn looked like that:

>TG: I'm weaving magic
>GM: Ok, what you want to cast?
>I-I-I don't know

>gets salty if he can't

Man, do I fucking hate this. I'm just starting a new campaign, and the first thing people do is "can I play this shit that you said you don't want to allow"? They're all good people, so I'm not too worried, but it really makes things kind of shitty for me. It adds a lot of extra effort trying to alleviate everyone's worries, when it could all be avoided if they'd just accept the shit I laid out for them. But some people get so fucking anal about their characters.

3.5 / Pathfinder players who go on and on about how powerful Wizards are. They only play Wizards and they get BTFO constantly because they're not actually smart enough to play Wizards well and are just parroting what they read on Brilliant Gameologists or The Gaming Den.

>butthurt communist is butthurt

What else is new?

I didn't call anyone a Nazi, nor did I imply everything I don't like is caused by one group.

Maybe try getting less triggered next time.

I mean, eh? Not liking someone isn't really... wrong, ever. Some people just rub you the wrong way. Like... do you think he should never play 4E again and you want to burn off his fingers? Because that's, uh, a different thing.

No, I'm pretty sure it was just Veeky Forums being Veeky Forums. It sounded vaguely cool but kinda ridiculous, and so it turned into a meme. That's... that's pretty much it.

Nice quads, but why did you delete your other post?

>le everyone who goes against me is triggered meme

Nah son, being triggered implies some sort of irrational response. You know, like a lapse into a PTSD flashback, where the term originates. Me telling you that the Nazis aren't out to get you isn't me being triggered. But you responding with profanities and deleting your posts to make better ones probably is.

>I didn't call anyone a Nazi, nor did I imply everything I don't like is caused by one group.

Do you remembering learning about hyperboles in school? What I used there was a hyperbole. You are attaching some sort of political meaning to a meme that you don't like, which I think is retarded. Which I point out by using a hyperbole and the anecdote about how I first heard the meme.

Now go and be triggered no more.

Infinity: people who submit themselves entirely to the infamous Kurwaspam. I don't mean people who just play spam armies – I mean the ones who will actively tell you that playing anything less that 20 Orders is auto-lose and that any unit costing more than 30pts (in a 300pts game) is literally unplayable.

Well fuck you, I did not choose to play PanO to pretend I'm Ariadna.

The problem isn't that spam is unbeatable, but it is hard to deal with when you're not prepared against it and it makes the otherwise fast and intensive game slow down to a crawl as you opponent has to move all 30 of his Hungries or Grunts.

Thankfully the rules and tournament scenarios have been updated a bit since 2015, Limited Insertion (hard 10 orders cap optional rule) became a thing and Corvus Belli is actively promoting TAG-play, so it became a lot more fun again. The game is supposed to work for 10-15 units, not 20+ spam.

Buddy, while I understand that English is your second language, "God always blaming the fucking nazis" is pretty common parlance here for 'fuck you numale cuckshit why don't you go choke on more mudslime dick you limpdicked faggot'. /pol/ is kind of a shitty place, and it's spilled everywhere.

Well, you did blame the creation of a meme on /pol/ basically.

In no particular order I hate

>>Guys that never read the fucking rulebook player and DM alike
>>Stupid fucks that think they can make OP characters but actually suck shit at it and make subpar crap then whine about it
>>Weeaboos that always want to play Kirito/Vegeta/FavTrapoftheMonth and constantly ask for ways to stuff it awkwardly into the game system
>>The same kind of asshole as the above but he wants to play a Jedi/Furry/Ninja/etc every game

Not that it matters, but I'm a different user, was just pointing out that being prickly about 'leave the nazis alone!' doesn't have the same passive, melodramatic tone it had a year or so ago. I'm

My favourite character to date was operator grandpa. He was a decrepit old cleric who had like 4dex, 6str and 6con. First fight we get into with orcs? He decides to hide behind a tree. Seeing the battle going poorly, decides he needs to help. Cue him poking his head out to fire rocks from his sling, before retreating before seeing if they hit. He didn't roll a thing under 17, and ended up killing more orcs than the whole party combined. That is before he got the Odin treatment and was pinned to the tree he was hiding behind by an Orc who snuck around and threw a spear.

One of my favorite systems, mechanically, is Ironclaw
So, everyone except me.
I've never actually gotten to play it because everyone else gets put off by bad book art, even though the system is good.

not him but, nazi is the new term for alt-right christians

To prevent my Thief-like being total shitheads, I tend to give them a loyal streak.

The last time I played a character who had really sticky fingers, the character was loyal to a fault and tended to ask the party's moralfag fighter for permission before doing anything grey area. The DM helped by also giving me a few good, solid chances for me to knick things from people.
Instead of stealing from the party, she had a habit of doing magic tricks for them, though once or twice she planted innocent and harmless "gifts" on them. The only time she ever got in trouble with the party is when she lifted a key from the party leader and went ahead to try and make things right on her own, and they were mostly mad because it was a move that almost got her killed.

The most recent time I played a character that had an extreme personality that would scare Veeky Forums on an application, I played a NE serial killer in a mostly-good party. Zero problems. She genuinely liked the party and would listen when she had a 'practical' suggestion... and she would listen when they said 'no'

I don't get how people fuck this kind of thing up, to be honest.

I would allow someone to play that character.
Low-skill, no-notability Gaijin character who REALLY wants to become most honorabru samurai
That would be great.

>believes moon landing was faked
People still deny this?

>5ed
I've had lots of problems with GM's who won't kill PC's, even after they make NUMEROUS bad decisions and roll badly; instead choosing to secretly fudge dice rolls, openly fudge dice rolls, or through some fiat say the character was returned to life by a god or something. Alternatively, they never give their party situations with even a significant chance of their death or injury. Once I got a GM who let our wizard return to life after they got separated from the group in a dungeon and tried to solo an earth elemental, except they came back with as a ghost all their old spells, vastly improved melee abilities, ability to travel too and from the ethereal plane pretty much at will, invisibility on-demand, immunity to non-magical physical attacks and a fucking fly speed.

Yeah, and while you may tell me English is my second language, I think it's not too much to ask that people can accurately identify hyperbole when they see it. Because the comment was made with that new stuff in mind. He invoked the alt-right, and anyone who hates the alt-right has a tendency to unironically call them Nazis. The Nazis have been a favorite boogeyman ever since the war ended, and especially now there's a genuine threat to the establishment. Hence the habit of blaming everything on "Nazis" has quickly become a hallmark of the established left. Funnily enough the Russians also work like this, and one of their big arguments about Ukraine was that their opponents are Nazis.

I could also have invoked Russian hackers, alternative facts and fake news, of course. But anti-Nazi hysteria has bit more of a presence in the collective consciousness. Either way, to link the creation of a meme to a nebulous far right group (because as far as I'm aware there's no clear definition of the alt-right that everyone agrees with) is hysteria, doubly so when clung to with insulting zeal.

Dude, a guy at my work still believes 9/11 was faked. People will believe whatever makes them feel smart, and conspiracy theories let you feel awful smug and awful smart.

We had someone in a government position who thought ISIS was a Jewish conspiracy.

This. so fucking much.

> LMAO I CAN END ANY ENCOUNTER WITH SLEEP!

>WTF!? DM YOU NEED TO TONE IT DOWN!

Everytime.

Are we talking "The Twin Towers never existed in the first place" faked or "The government was involved in the attacks" faked?

Nah, like a good Boy Scout, I always leave the table better than I found it.

>I did a statistically improbable thing
>Therefore ignore that I will almost never be able to meaningfully contribute

Ok

I'm gonna guess it's the "controlled demolition" fake. I'm. Otherwise surprised by anything anymore ever since I met a dude in my class who, no shit, thought the earth was flat

>implying jet fuel can melt steel beans

that'd be pretty cool. hamstring the character and give 'em something to work towards.

Makes it all the more sweet if they succeed.

the randumb player. the one who believes Chaotic Neutral means Chaotic Stupid, that he's entitled to ruin tense scenes with his "wacky antics" and if you call him out he goes "but muh randumb". Comedy is nice and all, but there's a difference between being funny and being a retard.

I also hate those that interrupt the game all the time.

His point was a character who isn't good at anything. Not a character with flaws, but the guy who plays a fighter who's bad at combat and a coward and has no out of combat skills or abilities to help out with anything or do anything. Basically, a character with zero mechanical purpose.

>What's your favorite
FFG Star Wars & Pathfinder

> who makes you roll your eyes the instant that hit the table?
oh god is there a list:
- retardedly evil characters, always at the top of the list. just don't ever bring a psychopath character to my table, I'll never approve it.

>a fighter who's bad at combat and a coward
I thought that the whole point of D&D was that you are playing a heroic character? or at least an anti-hero. Wouldn't the utter coward of a soldier be more of a background NPC?

I was kinda confused when you first posted, but yeah that's fucking obnoxious.

I wouldn't mechanically penalize them--I'd just require the character not have skill in social skills and area knowledge, etc. which are really clutch in dealing with anyone in a highly-regimented society, y'know?

>The Twin Towers never existed in the first place
Okay, THAT'S new to me

>Fate to Bobobo
Storytime, user.

Favorite system is GURPS, but it drives me up the wall sometimes that one of my players insists on playing something super fucking weird every time just because he knows he can. He never breaks the in-setting conceits really, but he'll find the most bizarre-yet-technically-plausible thing in any given setting and decide he wants to play it.

There's nothing wrong with believing in conspiracies. Believing everything is a conspiracy is wrong, but sometimes people are actually conspiring together. I'm sure this doesn't help my point, but I hold the opinion that the government went out of its way to give "conspiracy" a bad name to stop people from making conspiracy theories regardless of evidence for or against.

But I don't want to play that. I want to play grizzled, Not!European knight that fucks Japanese-- sorry, I mean 'Rokuganese' sluts and pounds samurai into dirt with a mace and shield combo, made of good, real metal.

It's Samurai fiction. Katanas are good there.
You can definitely fuck bitches though.

>Gurps
Muh nig
Glad to hear I'm not the only GM who encounters that. Something about ultimate freedom invites the worst limit testing sometimes.

My current game has high adventure in 1888, where the STARGATE was discovered early. Fucking hell, I have never seen such wanking nerd boners for 19th venture high-power hunting rifles.
10d6 pi++ is overkill. Just plain overkill

In a few years there will be a whole generation of people who never ever saw the Twin Towers. And that belief will be even more common.

[s]That might be one of the most mundane crazy conspiracies I've ever heard. You are absolutely absurdly incorrect and I worry if you sincerely hold that belief.[/s]

Who was that?
