My GM is telling me I can't vape at the table because it ruins the "fantasy aesthetic" of his Pathfinder game, and that if I want to smoke, I'll have to use rollups or a pipe. I've told him I've been trying to quit and I don't want to go back to smoking as much as I was before, but he's being adamant about it.
He's fine with smartphones and tablets at the game table because there is no "fantasy alternative".
What the fuck am I supposed to do here?
I think he just doesn't like you vaping at the table user.
Which I can respect, but have you tried making the case that it's either this or smoking?
Not smoke.
Just tell your GM to fuck himself. If you are trying to quit smoking, I believe there are alternatives to vaping (i.e. nicotine infused gun, I suppose?). So it could be a win-win?
I don't think you have anyone to play with, and that's why you made this thread about something that never happened.
How empty is your life that this is what you do for entertainment?
Snuff
>nicotine-infused gun
That would definitely solve your smoking habit.
>He's fine with smartphones and tablets at the game table because there is no "fantasy alternative".
Did he really never heard about pencil and paper?
lol people are never unreasonable in real life any genuine problem someone comes to Veeky Forums with is clearly a troll
Pipe is healthier than cigs if you smoke it the right way. It requires a certain kind of discipline, you can't smoke to often or it will overheat, you have to control the draft and clean it afterwards. It's not the "addicted faggot" kind of smoking.
Or, you can just eat sunflower seeds at the table, it helps to occupy your mind and keeps you from thinking about smoking.
I meant gum, I'm sorry for the confusion
What?
Cripes mate, that's some nonsense, and half of me wants to believe you are making this up. But if you are really dealing with this bloke, I say you got two options. Maybe bow your head and don't make trouble, and take this opportunity to switch to a patch or gum - treat it as another incentive to quit altogether. The other thing you could do is tell him to start using a quill and vellum for character sheets or maybe to start speaking in Shakespearian prose when he does descriptions, cause if he really is so fond of immersion its his job to create it for himself and stop being so picky about what other people do. Or possibly smoke outside. I sure as heck don't know your friends, mate.
I hope you'll choke on your mouth fedora
It's tobacco people sniff.
You are a weak willed mongrel. I know tons of people who quit smoking without the alternatives today. Every person I have ever met who vapes does it in most obnoxious and intrusive way as possible. I know if I was a GM, the last thing I would want is some one expelling fumes all over the table like an industrial plant.
>runs Pathfinder
>has shitty opinions
This doesn't surprise me at all.
Do it outside you fucking faggot. Everyone else hates that shit and has every right not to deal with it.
If the DM allows smoking at the table, then he's retarded for not allowing vaping. Ditch him.
Get a vape that looks like a pipe, idiot. Failing that, stop being a faggot.
Hurr Durr I'm a psychologist who can smell a fake threat a mile away!
Have a (you).
Kek
How empty is your life that you spend your time crawling an internet image board and feel a little rush whenever you valiantly mock others whom you will never see, never change with your words, and never know?
Are you LARPing? Unless you're LARPing, there is no reason for him to dictate what you can and can't use.
I get why people don't like smoking at the table. But asking someone to swich TO tobacco is a dick move.
ask if you can play shadowrun instead
Quit smoking and screw that gaming group
What kind of asshole smokes at the table?
Vape rectally by shoving your ecig up your ass then kill yourself for being a faggot.
smoke outside
>mfw I never started smoking
>mfw I vape all the time chucking fat coulds
>mfw I am a faggot
>mfw I have no face
Also, an underrated Terry Pratchett book
Doesn't want you smoking at the table. Go outside.
It's a type of porn film look it up its fucking hot
not vape?
>Vaping WHILE playing a game
What the fuck
From a British medical journal: "In conclusion, the rapid absorption of nicotine from snuff confirms its potential as an acceptable substitute for smoking. Switching from cigarettes to snuff would substantially reduce the risk of lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema, and possibly coronary heart disease as well."
Also, don't vape, you faggot.
Welcome to Things That Didn't Happen. I'm your host, user, and today, as our first guest, we have OP's colossal faggotry!
Tfw I smoked for nearly a decade and my father never once talked to me about quitting, but a soon as I switched to e-cigs he's nagging me every time I see him. Philip Morris are masters at meme warfare.
Stop vaping. It doesn't look cool. It doesn't make you cool. Nobody thinks you're cool.
Stop vaping.
Your GM is being kind. I'd have outright kicked you. Everyone else smokes outside, you don't get any special treatment.
behead those who insult vaping
Use a nicotine patch. I'd say kys, but you're a smoker, you already are! (Albeit too slow for the rest of us...)
>runs Pathfinder
>doesn't own a fedora of the mouth
This surprised me quite a bit.
>Doesnt want you vape
>But smoking cigs or a pipe (indoors too I take it?) is perfectly fine.
>All this over some autistic "fantasy aesthetic"
>But phones tablet dont break the emmersion
This some dumb ass shit yo.
By chance do you drive a Subaru vehicle? The Impreza WRX maybe?
>Everyone else smokes outside, you don't get any special treatment.
Yes. All GMs use the same rules. Always and forever. Your household rules are absolutely identical to OP's GMs. He didn't state in the OP at all that smoking rolls or pipe at the table would be completely acceptable at all.
Are you trying to be retarded, or what? Are you blind? Do you have a fucking brain injury?
>be an annoying prick at the table and blow vape shit in people's face
>everyone starts getting pissed
>autistic DM picks up on this but doesn't want to be antagonistic so he tries to be friendly about it by giving you an option he knows you wont do hoping you take the hint
>whine about it on Veeky Forums
Fucking vapers I sweat to god. Vape during the breaks you cunt.
Try not to cut yourself on that edge
I think you'll need to abstain from vaping at the table, because others might not be comfortable with all the smoke and stuff. I myself am soon launching a campaign and ready to take breaks to vape on a balcony or such, but not nearby players if they're uncomfortable with it, and I'll ask the same of any smoking player.
As for "being okay with var electronics but not with my e-cig", I'd argue pipes are way more harmful and if the DM doesn't want to discuss it I'd leave.
Who's house is this happening at? If it's his, stop being such a whiny bitch and suck it up. If it's at your house, tell him to fuck off.
Smoking with a pipe isn't like smoking cigarettes. It's like a cigar. Personally I'd smoke all through the game if he gave me that choice, although I've never smoked cigarettes or been addicted to nicotine so it's not really the same.
Stop vaping. Quitting smoking is the easiest thing ever. You just stop doing it. Vaping is for faggots and it stinks like shit.
Shit that never happened.
Get a pipe then. I recommend Dunhill Standard or SG's Squadron Mixture as a beginner tobacco.

One of these should do you. Grab a tamper off ebay (pipe tool/czech tool) and learn how to pack properly.
Tell him you value your health more than his friendship. I guarantee this fuckwit has argued himself into the stupidity because he's got some unhealthy habit that he wants to hide behind "muh historical authentic Pathfinder game" instead of facing directly, and he's just eager to drag you along with it like one of those alcoholics that get pissed when you stop drinking.
Personally, I'd have alread walked.
Get the most outrageous hookah pipe you can find, come to the next session in a turban, and sit there smoking up the room like a fat Ottoman sultan.
While the rule is nonsense in it's reasoning, if your GM tells you to not smoke, you don't fucking do it.
...man, my wife has asthma, and that would cause real problems if you smoked up the room, but
I'd accept it.
>rollups
Is that even appropriate by his criteria? Did people smoke something approximate to rollups in the kind of time period D&D generally aims for?
How about just having the slightest bit of willpower. That may require you to not be completely helpless against everything though.
Man up.
It's funny you posted this because I hosted my last session at a redneck vape bar.
Cigars and pipes mainly. There were primitive cigarette-type things made using reeds and tobacco over 1000 years ago in Central America.
If anything it's overrated. It really showed how much input other people had into his writing process towards the end, considering the story was basically the same story about slavery he's written before, only now with TINY GREEN PEOPLE
Huh, cool. Reading the OP made me realise that I actually had no clue about it other than "I dunno, pipes I guess".
These things always seem to go further back than I thought, like cannabis being used by the ancient Chinese.
Bait thread. If it's not, you and your GM are both retarded. Your GM is retarded for being arbitrary and having shitty reasoning (man,all this electric light sure is ruing the "fantasy aesthetic", let's get some fucking candles/torches up in here). You're retarded for not pointing this out immediately, playing with a bad GM, and coming to Veeky Forums to ask a stupid question.
>>man,all this electric light sure is ruing the "fantasy aesthetic", let's get some fucking candles/torches up in here
>implying this isn't a good idea
I bet you listen to metal and shit while you play too.
I once ran a game in a a stone outbuilding with candles and lanterns for light, baroque music, while smoking my pipe.
It was fantastic. But far too much effort to go through every week.
The Spanish and Portuguese used cigars/cigarillos/cigarettes while everyone else used pipes.
I hope this threads a joke. Because your a colossal faggot if this is real.
>nicotine infused gun
It's obviously just a bait, but it's fun to rag on vapers so hey
Yeah true Reading over the thread once I can tell its bait. Also is pretty funny.
>his reason is that it ruins the aesthetic of the table and not that it's fucking obnoxious
You are truly destined for each other, ask for his hand in marriage. He wouldn't tell his husband to stop vaping at the table.
