ITT Post shit prospective TTRPG players say that triggers a red flag
>Trust me, I'm a roleplayer with 25 years of DM'ing
>My players are always asking me to DM, well they were before everyone got busy
>I'm taking it for thematic reasons not because it's OP
>3, 3.5 are more about role-playing than numbers and powergaming
>Millennials are the worst
.t sphincter shattered millennial
t. pissy entitled millennial
Fuckin' nailed it OP
You can toss rolling stats into that pot.
> Character that's based on almost any one thing. Yellow flag if "loosely-based" instead. No flag at all if the group gets in.
Saw legit good characters that were loosely-based on something else. Sometimes, I couldn't tell, even after seeing it in action.
Also, once we copied OOTS' group on a 2 or 3 session campaign. Had a blast.
> Constantly request a specific game / universe without being willing to DM.
"You know, game starting next Monday? We should totally be playing a game of Shadowrun instead!
> Is a parent (flake out issue).
> Doesn't really play any game BUT DnD / Pathfinder.
Sometimes a GM makes something legitimately good out of Pathfinder / DnD (out of tremendous efforts), and then group is stun-locked.
> Likes munchkin as something other than a novelty card game.
Which is linked to:
> Brag about how powerful HIS character was instead of how powerful were the obstacles he surmounted. Yellow flag if he admired another's character. Red flag again if it was the DM's DMPC.
I know it's a badwrongfun thing, but I USUALLY can't enjoy a game that's shallow and/or over the top, just like I dislike Dragonball / Superman stuff.
But that's just me.
Is this /pol/?
If the player's a communist. That's a pretty massive red flag desu
When a player...
>Is a tranny

>Supports weed culture
>Presents a backstory longer than 2 paragraphs
>Presents no backstory at all
>Wants to play a race other than the basic four for the first session, especially if they want to do so before hearing about the campaign setting

>Cannot solve riddles and will not even make the attempt to solve them; Just immediately gives up and asks for the answer
>Has only one free day per week (Because this is usually the day they will give up for family matters)
Honestly people are pretty weak willed and disgusting.
Honestly full-blown communism is preferable to a lot of other political ideologies if only because it's far enough removed from traditional politics that no ones going to throw a shit fit
...
I've seen that ALL in one person...
Holy shit
>Runs 3.PF games exclusively.
>Delays game if people within the party don't have a backstory.
>Kicks people out with the excuse of "lel, you guys are expendable and I can replace you like that."
>Isn't available outside of game yet punishes people In-Game if they don't remember shit.
>Browses Veeky Forums religiously yet isn't self-aware enough to keep the memes in private.
>Allows custom races/classes by default.
>Thinks houserules are an appropriate response to broken rules and exploits
>Forces players to roll but won't let you keep a good spread because "it's OP."
Etc.
