That picture accurately sums up most of my life. I'm pretty much a retard who suffers from occasional delusions of competence.

I haven't, but one of my players once grabbed a fleeing harpy while she was trying to flap away across a ravine. He got all excited about bearing her to the ground, and thought he had her caught - so he stabbed her in the wing joint and sent them both plummeting down into said ravine.

Didn't go well.

>Opponent plays a spell that will completely wreck me
>"Jokes on you, I have infinite draw and will just keep drawing until I get a 3 or less costing counter"
>Draw 40 cards before I realize I somehow forgot to put in a 3 or less costing counter spell
>mfw

Every time i make a decision, either by bad rolls or just collateral damage.

>I'm pretty much a retard who suffers from occasional delusions of competence.

too true

>Need to sneak into a mountain cave with a hugeass minotaur guarding it
>Throw my knife away into distance to distract him
>He's distracted, so I sneak past
>But later on, obviously the knife is going to tip the whole minotaur clan off that there's an intruder here
>Why didn't I just throw a rock?
>There were rocks all over the fucking place!

>I'm pretty much a retard who suffers from occasional delusions of competence

That's the most beautiful description i have ever seen, it summarizes so well.

Lots of times in rpgs because my plans clash against roll ñs

Just beautiful.

>playing a sorceror

>Only mentions a check for teleporting out of the cage, not in.
>get buttfucked while giving the enemies a free short rest while they eat the corpse so I couldn't even be revived

It seemed like a good idea at the time and was a fitting end for that sort of character so I wasn't too mad.

Not me specifically, but my opponent

>Skorne vs Khador, Naaresh beast brick vs Sorcha2 all the WGI
>I kill all his jacks, clear a zone, score two points
>Sorcha2 pops feat, charges one of my heavies to kill it, fails to do so
>immediately realizes he's engaged two of my heavies standing in front of his no focus caster when all his remaining damage is in CRA shooting
>Immediately concedes

Damn, dude. That cut too much.

I had the exact opposite thing happen.
There were evil cultists doing a ritual inside of a force cage so u teleported inside.
Then I realized that I was outnumbered and outmatched and cut off from the rest of the party.

My players were infiltrating a Star Destroyer in Age of Rebellion, and had managed to reach the ship's power facilites. They decided it would benefit their infiltration to turn everything off.

Cue trying to turn it back on in a panic with no Gravity or Lighting, with rapidly decreasing oxygen.

I will never overcome the shame

Yup, that's me.

Yeah my character's a noble's son from another country who had heard about the other PCs capturing someone from my country during a military attack, who was another player in the group, so my guy got involved by traveling there. But I was playing him as being really overconfident and he got shown up by the PC who had ended up optimizing his dude really well and I got shot down. I ended up hookup up with another PC and we did some side stuff through the campaign, shit was tight.

I feel like that was a pretty ridiculous critfail consequence, though.

Fuck, that hits close to home...

Probably because it was wearing a helmet and metacarpals < metal

Again, will never overcome

His excitement at realizing he would still be alive though. Like screaming it with excitement at the table.

And take your new feelsbuddies with you..

Every single time I try to describe my in-game actions past "roll to attack with [weapon]"

Aw fuck, that's good

Awww, did baby need to get this butthurt over someone getting more attention than you?

Poor baby.

Remember, if you think about things, you're either wrong or autistic. Maybe both. Probably both.

I thought swashbucklers were good at fencing

My shadowrun GM was new and we followed this pair of people to a cabin in the mountains. I cannot remember why because the campaign was not that memorable. The two arbitrarily escape, set off an avalanche, and run towards it. I run after them while the party escapes, the two disappear and I get caught in the avalanche.

Don't know what I expected to happen honestly.

I'd hug you if I could
no homo ofc

You deserved all of that and more

It's the perfect plan. The one move they'd never expect.

sounds like a joke campaign, nothing out of line

Ayyyyyy

Fuck.
