Confession thread

Confession thread
I'm building only tribal or plane-related decks for MtG. I can't bring myself to play competitive - everything I do is brewing up weak limited decks because they have to "tell a story". I'm too autistic even for standard because I will not mix Amonkhet and Innistrad cards in one deck

I flubbed the dice to save a PC's life.

I tell my group I drink through the session because it helps me roleplay my alcoholic bard but actually I'm just and alcoholic and I keep telling myself they're stupid and haven't caught on even though of course they know.

I run a game for a group I dislike pretty much entirely to punish them for their stupidity and immaturity (not that I'm any better) by presenting the logical consequences to their endless stupidity.

I cheated the stats of some enemies once to make a TPK since the players kept doing bad shit even with the multiple IC warnings that they shouldn't do it

I gave them so many opportunities to bail and save themselves, but they didn't take them

You're a good person.

Space Marines are by far my favourite part of 40k, themed Knightly orders in space get me hard.

Combat is universally the dullest part of an RPG from both my perspective as a player and as a GM. It brings the game to a schreecing halt while we could actually be having fun roleplaying. If it wasnt for the fact the players expect me to present them with it in a way that matters I wouldn't include it outside enemies which die in one hit.

I look down on people who are solely dedicated fantasy genre fiction readers.

I can't roleplay at all and I always play the same kind of character.

Most of the world building threads I start/participate in aren't even for games. I use them for books and scripts that I never finish.

I started a forced shitty cancerous meme about namefagging because I honestly believe that if Veeky Forums isn't able to handle ignoring such bullshit they deserve it.

I too experience these feels, user. You are not alone.

I am planning to run a campaign and pick only the worst applicants. The idea is to run a game completely straight and see them just being awful cunts throughout, with plans on putting the hot messy result on Veeky Forums.

Also, I'm planning on running a magical realm campaign, but mine is so subtle that nobody will pick up on it.

...go on

About both subjects

I get into games just for their lore/fluff without even particularly caring about playing the game. Did it for MtG years ago, and 40k now. For some reason I just like game worlds better than those in other media.

I created a cringey self-insert OC just to ship her with Konrad, and then I somehow ended up creating an entire alternate timeline 30k setting based around her and some other characters I made. I ended up liking the other characters better than her. Also I stole one character from a then-friend who I've since stopped talking to and now realize is That Girl.

I applied to a game on roll20 but the DM looking over my character was so incompetent that I haven't gone back to see what happened with it. Not sure if I even will.

I got roped into DM'ing a game because my girlfriend decided she wasn't up to it even though she originally said she would. I told that to my players. I got a message this morning that she wants to breakup. I don't intend to tell my players and just have them think she's just not feeling up to it.[/spoiler[

I can't improvise for shit and spend hours crafting contingencies to every possible decision my players could make before each session. I will even fake a pause here and there to make it look like my players stumped me, before proceeding, so I don't get accused of railroading.

Building a story of sucking more like it.

DUDE WALKING BALLISTA LMAO

I feel you

You think that's bad? I cannot into developing or playing personalities at all, and if I do end up with the framework of one, it devolves into me in about two sessions. I worry that I tell myself this because I'm incredibly lazy, and using it as an excuse to not do any work. I'm going to have to GM eventually if I want any of my more obscure systems to see playtime. I'm pretty sure it'll be a dismal failure like last time.

I always look to make my own setting from the ground up. were talking lots of effort. hand drawn maps of the world, continents, nations, cities, towns, special areas, dungeons, etcetc. I write the lore for each place, and their in depth political affiliations with one another etc.Then add characters, folk lore, heroes, add the BBEG factors if its that kind of thing, all the other shit. and polish for months at a time before beginning the first game with PCs. Campaign usually lasts for like 4-5 sessions before I get burnt out on players not even engaging in the world that I made other than kick in the door action pace shit even though they said they wanted heavy RP.

Fall out of RPGs for the better part of a year, get inspired by something you fags on here post or some shit, pick up my books and dice again and start back at square 1.

This cycle has been occuring at a fairly constant rate for 14 years at least.

kill me

I see nothing wrong with this.

>combat
Sometimes I wonder how adapting Wakfu's battle system might go, because the fights rarely felt boring when not grinding the same exact fight over and over.
>start with X move points and Y action points per turn
>lose 1 move per square moved
>attacks cost different AP and MP, often affecting how they move and varying which squares are hit
>attacks to the side do bonus damage; attacks to the back do even more
>attacks of opportunity don't exist

Could be worse. I use them for refining and detailing fetishes.

I've been surprised how many people bite.

Yeah you should just kill yourself now.

I do much the same thing OP. I have a perfectly functional modern madness deck I could probably go and play FNM with, but instead I sit home and make stupid shit like Innistrad Plane-Limited Werewolves, or Fungus Tribal EDH

I've done the exact same thing with an IG regiment I made years ago. At this point its just Tank Girl in space. Fuck, I've never even PLAYED Guard, and I haven't touched 40k in a decade.
I mean that said though, I figure it's because game worlds are designed for people to interact with them, and usually have lots of fun plot hooks, areas for expansion, and interesting characters designed to be taken by people and modified.

I constantly spoil upcoming plot events, villains, monsters, and ideas to my players, because I'm too excited about them. So far I've been able to keep from dropping information about anything particularly important, but I've probably told them of characters and encounters they won't be dealing with for another few months at the rate we're going. I've spoiled no less than three separate candidates I had for the BBEG before I settled on the current one, and it's a problem.

I read systems and splat books all the time. I love going on /tg. I haven't played an RPG in six years but I keep making detailed campaign settings and new systems.

The first character I made is still my absolute favorite to play. Whenever I make a new character I actively try to give them traits as far away as possible from my first character so that I don't get stuck in a rut making the same character over and over. No matter what game I'm playing I still would rather play that first character.
>Monster
my nigga

I do that too. I still run games, but I've got a shelf filled with books for RPG's I've never gotten a chance to run, or notebooks filled with game ideas that never saw the light of day.

Hey, at the very least you're being creative.

Now I'm curious how you do that second point, do you use the threads to help build it into a reasonable place in a setting?

Fuck man, that last one is literally me. I keep dropping not so subtle hints if not out right at what's gonna happen to my players because I'm too excited for the next session.

Pretty much. I've got an odd thing where I like my porn plots to make sense or at least be "canonically accurate."
Not gonna say what I've been suggesting in case someone recognizes me, but I've seen the hammerspace dragon guy do similar, though not in worldbuilding threads (apparently they have preferred professions now rather than just being little dragons that eat everything).

I'm a furry, and tend to make dragonborn, Aarakocra, gnoll, etc. characters in part because of it. If anyone suspects me, they haven't brought it up.
There's been a recent uptick in "all furries are literal irredeemable, subhuman trash to be unilaterally hated with no remorse" posts here, and I'm not sure if it's just summer or if Veeky Forums is devolving into the new Cool Place For Great Memes with less attention to actually getting shit done.
Also I once called a 18 roll a 12 before others could see because I feared they'd wrongly think I was using a loaded die by getting five >16 rolls in a row. Then I worried they might think that was a lie and I had concealed a natural 1 or something.

Most of my secret plot points revolve around deepest lore that no reasonable player could be expected to keep up with.
Like the fact that the princess of one of the setting's kingdoms is the secret daughter of a former player character I played in the same setting. If I wrote a timeline, they would notice the date of birth conspicuously lines up with one of his backstory events.

>Space Marines are by far my favourite part of 40k, themed Knightly orders in space get me hard.
Same, user. Black templars are the fucking best.

How can I get in on this?

I plan on taking the s/tg/ereotypical bard, add in a splash of #thatguy, but then play them as a woman just to watch all the fuckshits freak out about how "unrealistic" having a woman be... anything is.

My campaigns are anime as fuck.

its ok user. back in 94-95 I had a useless deck of only dragons/ drakes/ hellkites/ worms and ice covered lands because muh dragonriders of pern.
