Folks, A friend of wanted me GM to get his gf into roleplaying, and one of the first things out of his mouth was:
>you shouldn't use anything other than D&D because it'll just make her confused when she joins B's campaign after summer and has to learn new rules
I hated it. It made me feel like a stepping stone so he could show his Gf the 'glory of rping' or some dumb shit like that and all I am is some robot to fill his RP gap while B is back on the east coast over the summer.
Tl;dr what would you do if you were asked to GM a system you didn't like for a game style that didn't interest you?
Adam Wright
You could say no
Landon Bell
>Tl;dr I'd just say you're really not feeling up to running a campaign in [system] right now.
Alternatively, assuming they want 5e, I run AD&D.
Joseph Carter
Tell him what you just posted and run the game you want to run.
Connor Foster
Tell him to run a game for his own damn GF and stop being such a beta.
Benjamin Cox
Talk to him about it. If he's your friend you should be able to.
Benjamin Hall
Run a different system and laugh
Christian Allen
Run a 4E Game.
Gavin Powell
fuck them both run FATAL
Andrew Lopez
>what would you do if you were asked to GM a system you didn't like for a game style that didn't interest you? Say no but seeing as you are probably a complete softcock and will cave like a bitch then I am sorry for your lots.
Kayden Kelly
Challenge him to a bareskin wrestling fuckmatch where you compete to fuck each other in the ass. This can either be done to relieve stress in both of you or to compete to see who's the better mate for his GF.
His GF will also be fucking another potential female mate so they both have a strong female scent to attract the strongest male.
Once you've established a Pecking(pecker?) Order, display your sexual prowess to the females and see who decides is the better mate.
This is what Bonobos do in the wild, and right now it seems to be a lot smarter than what you're doing BY NOT GROWING A PAIR AND SPEAKING YOUR MIND TO YOUR PEERS AND FRIENDS.
Seriously, if you want to stay the bottom bonobo with the inferior/no mate that's fine. As for the rest of us we're gonna fuck is some boipussy and prove we deserve to get our dicks wet.
Jordan Wright
>A friend of wanted me GM to get his gf into roleplaying, what
Josiah Sullivan
Why would you start with DnD when it comes to pen and paper rpgs
Theres tons of easier systems out there
Aiden Flores
Run what he wants but fuck with him on every step. You have to constantly undermine his authority, call him out on every stupid bullshit and turn his every decision against him. >have full plate of ham in your kitchen, make sure that you put in in a place where everyone will see it >before the session begins, call everyone into the kitchen to help you make the tea or soem shit >wait >throw half of the ham into garage bin >call him to the kitchen(pretend that it's some rpg bussines) >after you are done talking, leave first >wait >go into the kitchen >come out with half-emplty plate of ham >", if you were hungry you should have just tell us!" >make burping noises every time before you address him during the session
Anthony Diaz
>wasting perfectly good ham Not OP but thats not okay
Evan Flores
Ham sucks though
Dylan Jackson
Ur a fuckin faggot dont fuckin shittalk ham u mouthbreather
Aaron Turner
FUCK. OFF. God, you're worse than the Numenera Shitposter AND the 3.5-hate Shitposters. I mean, why? Just Fucking why? Are you comfortable with being like this? Do you enjoy this? Why? Please, help me understand this illness of the mind so that I may know what to look for when I clear out the dregs of humanity. If you do that, your existence may have been of some worth.
Bentley Smith
>go dumpster diving to your local wallmart, get some rotten ham from their garbage bins >have the guy sit right next to you at the table >after "the ham incident", make a gagging noise every time when he speaks to you, pretend that his breath smells like a rotten meat
Parker Price
Wayne is a good dude and offers good advice. As a female I would be incredibly aroused by such a manly display and would be begging to take you deep inside of my moist willing body.
Robert Gutierrez
>being an autismo in public No thanks
Matthew Gray
Thank you but I've already got a Trap and a GF that enjoys sexually torturing the Trap. We're about full up on our sexual dynamics as-is.
Evan Nelson
XDDDD
Anthony Bennett
I understand, a man like you would obviously have women and fembois to service him already. Just know that if you ever want a 10/10 Asian girl who loves to give blowjobs that I will save myself for you from this day forward.
Bentley Lopez
pics or didnt happen
Asher Martin
Sorry, only Wayne gets to see my oiled up dripping wet body.
Alexander Russell
>There sure are a lot of girlfriends cheating on their boyfriends in your game user haha is d&d slways like this?
Zachary Lopez
Shoulda gone Irish-redhead. Asians are... enjoyable in small doses. American-Asians have the WORST Porn voices. Even worse than Japanese pornos if you can imagine that.
It's not cheating if it's Bonobo sexual dynamics.
Dominic Sanchez
This is what it means to be a cuck. Have someone fuck a girl while you have to deal with the shit he don't want to. It's not like you're gonna say no to be his bitch's bitch.
Camden James
Why so cliche when user can just flat out say that his firend asked him to GM D&D because his GF is too retarded to get into any other system?
Adam Lewis
Nah, I've met Cucks. They're actually depraved enough and/or confident enough to go out and find themselves a girl they'll never get to fuck. At least the Cuck is getting what they want and actually bothered to ask for it. This guy can't even do that.
Eli Martinez
>To confusing to learn another system so dont run anything other then d&d i swear to fuck she better have d&d mastered down to the god dam amount of pounds of food a horse has to eat every day or else she has no excuse you should run d&d for her and if at any point she says "oh what does that do" or "so how do i do that" just walk out of the room
Cooper Hall
I'd tell them to fuck off. If I'm the GM, that means I choose the game. Don't like it, GM yourself.
Parker Gomez
He namefags for no reason, and is therefore not worth listening by default. Fuck off to reddit.
Justin Walker
He is the savior of this board, and a good man.
Austin Mitchell
>A friend of wanted me GM to get his gf into roleplaying > Implying they aren't swingers and he wanted to to fuck her dressed as an elf paladin
Henry Martinez
If this dude is really your friend, have a chat with him about it, but more importantly talk to them both.
Try to find out what kind of game they both want to play, if you all are serious about showing her how fun gaming can be then you should at least ask her.
If it really is fantasy, tell them that you aren't really comfortable running D&D and suggest some alternatives, if they continue to say no just say sorry, you aren't really interested but you wish them both the best.
Ya know, like a normie or some shit.
Blake Anderson
You seem to be lost. Reddit is that way ->
Wyatt Ross
The thing is how does her boyfriend know she likes DnD
Is he retarded and thinks DnD is a beginner system?
Does he only know DnD? Why does he think he's above the GM in the pecking order?
Tell him to sit the fuck down and talk about it yo
Oliver Adams
I don't namefag for no reason. I just change the reason every time. Right now the reason is that I'm too lazy to delete it from the name field.
Noah Robinson
Time to wear a skirt and let your friend fuck your faggot ass at the same time as he ploughs his girlfriend's, OP, you unbelievable cuck.
Zachary Walker
>Tl;dr what would you do if you were asked to GM a system you didn't like for a game style that didn't interest you? No. You shouldn't feel obligated to put in a lot of work for something you're not interested in. Not only that, but chances are that the quality of your campaign would suffer. I mean, would rather be in a game that the GM liked, or one he disliked?
Just say no. Run a rules-light game that interests you if you don't want to bog his GF down with rules that might tangle her up in the future.
Thomas Bell
>Tl;dr what would you do if you were asked to GM a system you didn't like for a game style that didn't interest you?
Say no.
Charles Roberts
We should honestly thank him. He really puts the faggot in name fag.
Without him new fags might think namefagging was cool.
Carson Peterson
By embracing anonymity, Veeky Forums is built to avoid social drama and cliques and celebrity and shit. Namefagging without good reason undermines this and is therefore obnoxious. Please consider not being an attention whore.
Aiden Campbell
>what would you do if you were asked to GM a system you didn't like for a game style that didn't interest you?
>No
>Fuck off
>No but I can run X system in X setting
>Yes but you need to pay me for the service.
Nothing kills a game faster than a GM not invested which is why all the advice that says you should build a campaign around what the players want is well meaning but ultimately flawed unless the GM and the players have incredibly similar tastes.
Kevin Anderson
cuck him with GURPS, have multi-dimensional hi-tech space adventures with her, slowly woo her, then cuck her by fucking him
Cooper Evans
If she's only able to learn one ruleset, you haven't "got her into RPing" in the first place.
Besides, if his confidence in his own girlfriend's intelligence is so low, why the hell not start her on something simple like Fate or Savage Worlds?
Ian Brooks
Fuck you, ham is the nectar of the gods
Jayden Ramirez
That's been your reason for awhile, Wayne. Get a new one.
Jason Lopez
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Pull the other one, it's got Bells on it. I promise you, namefagging is the least of our worries where social drama is concerned. I know what I do. I've been around since the old days, and trust me, it's anonymous majorities of the current age that are doing far more to damage the board than I ever could.
Oh, wait, no... that's my meme, right? I namefag and take credit for the board's biggest mistakes, right? Because one poster absolutely must be responsible for everything wrong with Veeky Forums, while everyone else only serves to make the board a better place. How very... Socratic.
I will cease to exist if I'm not annoying anyone with my identity. I'm annoying, therefore I am.
Aaron Bailey
Holy shit, did wayne get banned or was did the janitors just delete his posts for shits?
Dominic Morris

Nope. Still here.
Juan Walker
Is she going to play in both groups or will she just drop out of your game when the other guy starts up?
William Bailey
Everyone is going to drop out once the second guy shows up. I am literally DMing for just the summer.
Benjamin Ramirez
I stand by my Bonobo statement:
>Challenge him to a bareskin wrestling fuckmatch where you compete to fuck each other in the ass. This can either be done to relieve stress in both of you or to compete to see who's the better mate for his GF.
>His GF will also be fucking another potential female mate so they both have a strong female scent to attract the strongest male.

Easton Baker
Brand recognition. Also, as far as mainstream RPG books go, they have the best editing which makes the learning process a whole lot easier. I'd also like to make the argument that having a list of codified actions helps with the youngsters of the age who have played some sort of rpg on the pc/console growing it. Helps them relate better. This is of course anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt.
Joshua Price

Joseph Murphy
Real talk here. Is she your friend? If not, this is a total dick move by your friend, and the only appropriate response is to completely and utterly undermine his worthless bitch ass.
If she is your friend, find out what kind of games interest her, and tailor the game to suit her interests. If not, run a system you like for a game style that interests you.
The only way anyone gets 'the glory of rping' is if they are into that style of game. So, run the game that is a style you are into. Do pokemon in space if that's your thing. Run a medieval political game using Dread, if you want. Hell, break out Mount and Blade to run Spelljammer.
Just, don't make rpgs a chore. It'll suck for everyone involved.
Luke Jones
Use Pathfinder and always refer to it as D&D.
Luke Bell
> what is reading comprehension
OP is just a temporary GM they can use while the DM boyfriend likes is away. That other guy runs DnD only
Christian Baker
You don't need to be the one true boogeyman to be a total faggot dude. Calm down
Cameron Parker
Just don't run the game. Easy.
Jace Ward
Run Lamentations of the Flame Princess.
Run Tower of the Stargazer if you want her to play again.
Run Doom Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children if you don't care either way.
Both are in the Treasure Trove in the OSR thread.
Elijah Evans
Dear gods Tzeentch. Calm down.
Xavier Davis
Now that Slaanesh is dead I gotta take over all the lewd shit that doesn't involve diseases, pregnancies or violent hate fucking.
Dominic Rivera
Calling what I do faggotry is like calling the Mona Lisa just a pretty picture.
Though let's be honest here, most of the time, if I'm in a thread and I'm insulting someone, it usually means the thread has already gone to Shit. I'm just here to make others abandon thread or derail it until it becomes something interesting.
Bottom line here, OP needs to grow a pair, get himself a spinal implant, and get over himself and his hurt tendies, and just say no. Anything else beyond that is pointless rhetoric trying to convince someone of something they're probably not going to do until they have no other choice.
Sebastian Watson
>what would you do if you were asked to GM a system you didn't like for a game style that didn't interest you? Tell them I don't want to run a game in a system I don't like and in a style that doesn't interest me. /wbg/ died for this.
