NEVER TRUST AN ELF!

If you shitpost and ban-dodge enough, the mods will just get sick of it and give you what you want.

Talking about banning Virt, you salty, salty antiquestfag.

No matter what year/era it is, German Tanks and Japanese Ships are best.

Taught me to never listen to Veeky Forums.

Not to discuss TT games themselves or their fluff online unless you want to conjure a screeching whirlwind of autists

How clean a horse anus is and how it can lead to better ketchup bottles.

Occasionally, people are beautiful, wonderful, interesting people that I adore listening to and considering.

But most of the time you're waiting for those moments to come around, everything you do is either being a hipsterfag or cliched and stereotypical, don't do anything, don't try anything, don't even play anything.

How much damage a bag of holding full of shit does.

Veeky Forums taught me to embrace my kinkiness and I believe it has made a better GM

This pretty much. Veeky Forums is usually wrong about everything related to group dynamics and social interaction.

These always bug me because it's clear they didn't actually read how the magic item works (bag of holding releases held items one at a time when owner reaches hand in).

I know, I know, "funneh".

I would be much more impressed with a shitpedo spray that's made according to the RAW.

Almost everyone deserve a second chance.
No one deserves a third. No exceptions.

Honestly it's just one big pile of shit. Literally shit. It's hard to seperate that into smaller units unless they're stiff.

Not to be an autistic tripfag sperglord who obsessively posts about a particular D&D race despite many people asking me to stop

Thank you for filling me with shame Veeky Forums, it's made me a better person

There are a lot of people who are really, really bad at gaming who think they're really, really good at it.

Magical realm is still something that's hard to include just anywhere and with just any group.

I had an online GM that made it very clear they had plenty of sexual desires, and would have loved a somewhat frisky party. They encouraged the party to get to know each other's fetishes somewhat, share some porn. They even managed to work in other lewd things without it ruining the game. But I never really wanted to partake - the game still had problems, I still had problems. The GM still had kinks that were far beyond ours.

It's hard to explain, but I can't see this working out as a halfway thing. You keep it pure and chaste, maybe work in some low-key, non-direct things, or you go full ERP lewd campaign. You cannot go from serious to lewd to serious to lewd, you know?

Taught me how to actually make decent characters, not just cold, emotionless sniper characters all the damn time.

Especially that 1d4chan page on how to make a good character.

These numbers don't lie.

It made me appreciate my home state of West Virginia more. Because, apparently, we're the only State in the US that doesn't have LFGS's full of sweaty neckbeards and ironic hipsters. Except for North Dakota, but no one lives in North Dakota so they don't count.

That I hate most gamers.

Fun is cancerous.

Veeky Forums has taught me that the average tabletop fan is a pussified nu-male more concerned with virtue-signally "progressive" propaganda than facing reality

in other words, Veeky Forums taught me the lengths deluded people will go to in order to convince themselves their delusions are valid

Lindybeige is worse than I thought.
GURPS can actually run everything you want it to run.
There are people who know history solely from Hollywood movies, but will try to use it anyway for "historical games".
There are people who will try to cram absurd amounts of details into their settings, without realising the setting is simply bland in the first place and the details are useless for the playing experience.
D&D is singlehandly responsible for 3/4 of stupid misconceptions and cliches in the entire hobby.
W40k lore and aesthetics are tied direcly with how cheap it will be to make minis out of it.

I also discovered Twilight 2000 thanks to Veeky Forums, which is great

Respecting rape victims isn't bad, I don't think. But whole sections of people being unable to bear other people's viewpoints is a little disgusting.

Well, the most common advice here is talk to disruptive players instead of whining on cambodian magic moving tapestry forum. I'd say that's pretty good.

Your post taught me the lengths deluded people will go to in order to convince themselves their delusions are valid.

Since standard response from Veeky Forums is "Talk like grown ups about it", I don't see your point.

That Veeky Forums doesn't know shit about actual gameplay.

Most of game elements and mechanics are based on movie-backed memes and bad research.

Veeky Forums hates a lot of things based on theoretical problems. Which is mainly D&D and its caster balance.
These problems never actually happen because the party is working together, not individually to outshine each other while competing for the same goal.

Always plan for the obvious ways a player thinks they'd solve a problem. i.e. planning for "why don't they just send an army/eagles/Leeman Russ tanks to escort Frodo?" that people like to put forward and seem smart.
Also, let players add things to the setting in their backgrounds, but always proofread and approve people's backstories.

I put together a simple D&D setting where civilization has died, and necromantic corruption's left the land mostly unworkable save for small pockets of isolated communities. Let my players come up with what facet of society their town was founded around. Ended up getting a ninja village, an abbey full of clerics and priests with vaguely warhammer intonations, and two players from a village that kept the secret of gunpowder to themselves and hired their townsfolk out as wandering Landsknecht. Sort of like medieval Mother Base.

I send out the plothook letter, telling them that a community of druids found a possible way to fight the corruption, but they needed a small company of champions to carry it out. They sent some nutrient-intense fruits as part of the package, to show they've created land that can bear such food, and as part of the letter I added a line saying something like "rations and supplies are short, and too many lives draws the attention of the ambient necromantic presence".

When one of the gunsmith players said "hey, my village is mostly mercs, can't I tell my whole town of the importance of this quest and have an entire army come with me?" my other gunsmith player said "no, we'd draw too many undead to us, and might attract the attention of intelligent undead who'd seek to undermine our efforts. Let's not be greedy."

tl;dr My players were self-policing and I was a proud papa.

Rape victims need therapy, not Play-Doh and crayons.

If you're having fun, you are playing the wrong system.

Opinions =/= facts.
Most of the time...depends on the setting.
Talk to the player(s)/GM.

>What's something that Veeky Forums has taught you?
Not to care about Veeky Forums's opinion

Some of my best games have been with a group of furries I GM for online. Titillation, like combat or intrigue, gets boring if you focus on it exclusively, thus changing up the focus regularly is healthy. It's also good to be sure at least one player has their interests focused on one aspect.
The combat-focused furry helps the group think with more than their dicks, and often keeps the group towards their task. The more sexual-minded characters often read the background of each location, and ironically talk to npcs and are most likely to remember what people said. I think the only thing I regret is how they let the little shit of a thief get away with cute inter-party theft cause her character is fuckable, but whatever.

Intrigue games become a lot more complicated and fascinating when people aren't afraid to utilize sex as a weapon.
Still, I'd recommend keeping it to text.

Also, I've learned people who play sorcerers are more likely to erp than people who play any other class. Wizards are least likely.

...

Your fun is wrong

>because the party is working together, not individually to outshine each other while competing for the same goal.
>I never played a tabletop RPG in my life

Alternatively...
>He has only ever played with a single group in his entire life.

Something that Veeky Forums has taught.......
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Veeky Forums DON'T TEACH SHIT

since you posted this on Veeky Forums, it must be wrong

Dwarf lovers are annoying retards.

how to debate like adults

Sauce?

>"But that's wrong!" you exclaim with a tired breath
>Everyone at the table is looking at you with confusion.
>You motion for the player next to you to hand you his copy of the rulebook
>He winces and gives you his rulebook after your voice cracks from trying to yell.
>You thumb through it with your dirty cheeto dust fingers
>You wear a smug grin as you find the particular rule that; if grossly misinterpreted, would make your character extremely overpowered.
>You think it would be cool to toss the book in the center of the table, land so that the GM can read it, then give a snarky comment.
>"Check it, kid"
>You lob the book at the center of the table
>It flounders from your lack of aim
>Pages flap as it knocks over several minis from where they were placed
>It knocks two drinks over, washing away the table of character sheets and dice
>The book lands closed shut, sliding until it gently taps on the GM's screen
>Everyone is staring daggers at you after having to scoot out of the way from the flood of mountain dew
>You try to say something but all that comes out is mumbling and spittle
>Your thigh jiggles, you think its your phone
>You dig your hands into your cargo short pockets, feeling your greasy leg hair brush against the material of the pocket
>Your hand touches something warm and squishy
>You look over, and see your phone sitting on the table, you had been browsing youtube while the GM was doing some RP bullshit earlier
>You pull out your hand, it's covered in tomato sauce and noodles
>Opening your hand, a single meatball falls out and lands on the GM's carpet with a splat

What the hell kind of group do you play with? I play with my friends and we've never had problems.

Thanks for sharing your life story, user.

You even gave it from a first-person perspective.

>This pretty much. Veeky Forums is usually wrong about everything.

What's with these slice of life mongolian sock puppet theaters and having giant episode names?

That no matter how hard I try to shitpost or troll fa/tg/uys will have an honest and thorough conversation of my post. Other than a few exceptions this place is untrollable. It's what made me love this board and always come back. I can always count on someone to have the most tedious and autistic conversation about the most obscure fantasy lore with absolute sincerity. It wonderful.

Arguing about arbitrary things that don't exist is the best stuff to argue about

its cause this place is literally grognard central, and thats a glorious thing.

i can steer/derail threads bu posting the most bullshit thing and people will start a legit conversation over it

Good communication is the #1 most important factor for running a successful and fun game

And for any sort of social activity in general

And for anything in life involving other people at all

To never talk about elves.

It never happened. No matter how you try to convince me that there was this one guys at the store who tried raping your character before chanting at the single woman in the store "old enough to bleed, old enough to breed" while stomping their feet in a ritualistic manner. That shit never happened and you should be ashamed of it. But it was a funny story and I enjoyed it, therefore I am fine with you telling it.

Most people who play RPGs have no standards whatsoever. I'm not sure which is sadder, that there are lots and lots of DMs out there that think they can half-ass and make shit up on a moment's notice without regard to any sort of consistency and the players never notice, or that they might in fact be correct and their players do not in fact notice.

Not him, but try playing Paranoia with your friends. You will understand

Why would I play a game like that? I'm perfectly fine running the system I am.

You guys taught me that, despite any flaws with my friends as players, I could have it a whole hell of a lot worse, because I could be like you nerds.

nothing is original just good execution and skill

This post is absolute bullshit, and is nothing more than a shitty troll trying to encourage people not to report and ignore him.

I learned that there is a significant faction of gamers who are so obsessed with verisimilitude that they literally cannot allow themselves or others to play games with fun mechanics.

To stay away from Veeky Forums

Thanks for telling rape victims what they need.

Absolutely, look at this stupid shit .

Veeky Forums can't help but to rise to the bait.

And I've learned that there are people so inept at applying eristics to their argument, they are perfectly willing to create gems like "if you don't like badly made setting with nonsensical limiations on gear, then you must obviously hate fun"

Ribbon is a cute.

I wish I could believe you, but I've seen too many people go on huge tangents and arguments about

>Women soldiers
>History
>/pol/ shit

To really believe that what you're saying is true.

And I learned that it is so easy to trigger the "muh realism" sperglords that it isn't even fun to try anymore.

As a rape victim myself, let me tell you, chucklefuck:

Rape victims need therapy, not Play-Doh and crayons.
