What's your group like, Veeky Forums?

Perennially late, missing and cancelling.

Yes, I mad GM.

It's complex - it has real part and imaginary part.

...

The DM is a megalomaniac and the players have no soul. I left that group after I found out the DM didn't actually have the secrets of lichdom and was just a dick.

We are a bunch of idiots grasping at the cusp of something resembling greatness if it was put through a blender.

But it's fun.

A DM who tries his best, the DMs powergame-y girlfriend, a guy who loves fucking around, is kind of good at the game and probably is a pedophile, a moron who likes item creation and joins the previous members shenanigans so long as they dont involve pedophilia (me), a sort of emo who sometimes sulks, the youngest in the party who also sulks a bit but less than the previous one, a young pornstar who sometimes joins us and a moronic That Guy.

>a young pornstar

...I'm sorry what

Get back to drawing, Zak S.

Insane.
Some things about the party and their antics.
>
Round-down Rousey (Halfling fighter), Philbo Swaggins (Halfling Cleric), Merlot the Magnificent (Halfling Sorcerer), Brick Uglyshield (Dwarf Fighter 4 CHA)

>Tasked with assassinating a local businessman. They attempt to sneak into a party being thrown by said businessman. "We're gonna bluff."
"Okay, what do you say?"
"I am Guy Ferarri, world renowned semen chef! Make way for me and my entourage! *Rolls a natural 20*"

ANother time:

> "Okay, so Scumbag Larry obviously knows who we're looking for. Lets go talk to him."
> "I got this guys, I'll just offer to blow him if he tells us what he knows."

It was supposed to be a moderately serious campaign. Five minutes into the first session, it obviously wasn't going that way. But for a group of first timers, they're doing splendidly.

Dead.

> a young pornstar
you gotta elaborate here.

Kinda chaotic and not very serious, for example, last session they attached a chain store to the bottom of their airship with chain they bought from the chain store, then they crashed the store into a castle to take it over

>Le natural 20 maymay.

Your group sounds awful.

3 ex-marines, a russian sniper, and a the protagonist from Tokyo Drift.

Ahiru - Scout - Almost a cyber psycho. Wears a daffy duck mask and ninja outfit

Highway - Rifleman - God complex. Texan. One liners constantly "It's my way or the highway... and I'm Highway"

Bulldog - Heavy Weapons Guy - An artist with a grenade launcher. Legally changed his name to Johnny Dynamite

Slughead - Sniper - Only shows up when we're down to two people. Mysterious russian mercenary.

Skedaddle - Wheelman - Works as a pizza delivery boy. Melee specialist


Most missions go with Ahiru coming up with a plan that executes flawlessly even though he's the most mentally unhinged. Ahiru doesn't want to be the idea guy but he's the only one who knows the system well enough.

They're having fun. That's the whole point is it not?

That sounds rad what system is it?

Like bags of salty milk coins

Cyberpunk 2020

These were from our first Deathwatch session.
To say the least the group does stupid shit 24/7

>Irol - Keeper of Light spearman, the brains of the group, also made a laser cannon and is a laser cannon
>Siti - Keeper of Scholarship with giant shields, repository of all kinds of knowledge, also the doctor
>Sahthet - Keeper of Sky archer/bard, shoots folks with horrible poisoned arrows from too high to hit
>Uci - Keeper of Death and that's it, he kills people with his mind and is basically babysat by his goddess
Whenever I plan sessions my motto is "no plan survives contact with the enemy."

>Alwayslate
Literally has not made it to a single session on time. Always blames traffic but only lived like 5 minutes away. He plays a wizard like Marcus Brody from Indiana Jones. Loves to poke holes in the campaign. Actually a good role player

>SpeshulSnowflake
Girl in the group. Plays a Druid that's about as stereotypal of a special snowflake. Entire family murdered, had a great destiny given at birth, born under a blood moon, the works. Has gotten better about being a special snowflake. Chaotic good my ass

>Quietguy
Friend of Alwayslate. Is actually always early. New to RPG's but is getting the hang of it pretty well. Plays a stealtharchery catman ranger and enjoys being the strong silent type. Doesn't say much during game either out of awkwardness or unsure what to do. Is a pretty cool guy otherwise

>Powergamer
Name says it all. Has maxed out damage for his fighter and has been making him tankier since the guy who was going to play a paladin dropped out. Not a great role player but makes up for the groups otherwise lacking damage output. Rounds out the group nicely

>Othergirl
Friend of SpeshulSnowflake. Has shown up twice so far but is "totally coming next week I swear guys!"

>LazyDM
Is running a prebuilt but still forgets major details, leading to derailment. Some nights he does well in creating detail but otherwise he's lacking at best. Puts a ton of effort into making maps which inevitably get unused due to derailment. Is trying his best but at the end of the day is mediocre at best
hes me

Incompetent sums them up nicely.

All are eager and try to do actual role playing but half of them flip flop between personalities and the other half is consistent but has murder hobo tendencies on a hair trigger.

Half of them has built decent characters but fail to use those to their potential in combat. The other half has crummily built characters (example: Halfling dual wielding fighter in heavy armour) but at least they understand how to get the most out of their severely limited capabilities.
Fun side note: we've been playing for seven years, averaging a session every two months (i.e. it's painfully slow) and two of the six still barely know the basic rules for combat.

Oh, and most of the time forget a) the plot (all of it), b) what they were supposed to be doing (90% of the time their own ideas to begin with) c) the names of NPCs, locations and/or their party members (and occasionally their own) or d) their own backstories.

If these clowns weren't my best mates and watching them flail around like spastic Magicarps wasn't so bloody entertaining I would have force-fed them their character sheets years ago.

The fratboy who plays himself exclusively
The edgy guy who only plays the same 3 personas
The mimic with no original characters
The min-maxer
The 'what can I get away with'
And the best DM you ever seen.
