How do I stop this Veeky Forums it's like a nightmare I can't wake up from. Our campaign is ruined.

Oh boy

This. This is where you went wrong.

>surprised fugly chick plays a sexually desirable chick and doesn't even know how to not be hamfisted about it
What? Let her pretend.
Nicholas Morales
The names pretty good desu
Chase Martin
Question.
Did any of you tell her what the campaign's theme and tone was before she made her character?
Because if not, then this is at least partially your fault.
Side note, this could also probably be solved by simply talking to her like a normal human being and saying that you as a group preferred the old tone and themes and that the way she's playing her character is disrupting that. Then work with her to find a compromise.
Again, like a normal human being.
Wyatt Lopez
It's all fun and games until somebody loses their virginity.
Juan Reyes
Burn down her library.

> Did any of you tell her It was the DM's job, mate. As I see it. If the problem is girlfriend (favoritism?) overruling campaign's tone (and breaking everyone else's expectations) the dialogue seems to be the option. If it's a OP's problem only, how come others are okay with "post-war gritty mercenaries adventuring with a slutty chick" in character?
How do the other three players react to the situation?
Jackson Thomas
>It was the DM's job, mate
Yes, but having failed to carry it out, it falls to the players.
Juan Jones
>playing with a girl there's your problem
Noah Miller
just have sex with her so the GM can have her killed in some ironic fashion the morning after and she can roll up a character that does something useful
Dominic Sanders
She sometimes sat in on sessions of the game before joining, so she knew what it was like.
I've only spoken to two of the others privately. One of them has the same problem as me, the other guy said he's not really bothered.
Jason Smith
Talk to people in the open instead of whining amongst yourselves. Act like adult, not a teenager.
Colton Anderson
I would err towards talking to the DM personally, rather than expanding it. People here always go one about throwing shit out at the table when things are usually resolved faster, and with less butthurt, with low key, discreet efforts. So long as OP realizes that this is more likely a case of the new player just having fun and not taking it seriously, rather than some nefarious attempt to ruin the game, it should be resolved swiftly.
Colton Hughes
lol xxxxDDsdD

>it is the "Autistic beta male who can't figure out how to talk to a woman" Episode again Stop being autistic, ans talk to her for fucks sake.
Don't go through the GM. Chances are he wont tell her, because: 1. He is afraid of making her angry 2. Because he has no idea how to properly explain your autism to her Dont do it privately, just before the next game, tell her "Hey, you know this really messes with the tone of the game. Would you mind toning it down, or maybe setting up a situation where she can have some character development, and become more mature and stoic? We'd love to work together with you to get this going properly."
It is not that fucking difficult.
Xavier Jones
Why should OP get to control the tone of the game though?
Nathan Gomez
It's called mockery, you dolt.
Hudson Robinson
Because he's been in the campaign longer than she has, so he knows the tone of the campaign just as well as the DM does - arguably more, since the DM's perception on the issue is skewed towards making his fuckhole happy.
Ryan Murphy
Actually, knowing what era of bond girl she is should be critical to the characterization.
Liam Kelly
8/10 sneezed out my water after that chuckle..
Dominic Ward
>Mockery, You Dolt
I'm not familiar with that system, and I've been through quite a few. Do you have a pdf? Or can you describe how the game works?
Eli Butler
>fuckhole Not sure if this or is a bigger indication of what an extreme social fuck-up you are.
