What are some Veeky Forums danger-zones? (areas or locations related to traditional gaming that ought to be avoided)

>randoms are the slampiggies of Veeky Forumsshit

That's a fair enough point, but you're going to have to wade through a lot of shitheads before you find randoms worth a damn.

Another tale from Roll20 I played in a GoT game for a bit where a guy was using a Fire Emblem picture for his character. He had blue hair.

>He had blue hair.
Dude, Daario from GoT has blue hair.

>Discarding slampiggies

Who will teach the neophytes?

/pfg/. I actually like Pathfinder, but /pfg/ is the biggest cancer on this board.

Yes, I know, his was dyed blue, his moustache was also pained gold and he had a gold tooth and a bunch of other crazy shit. He also wasn't a wide eyed anime protagonist.

I am out of the loop here. What about Paizo forums and /pfg/? All I know is that /pfg/ uses animu fetish for the OP.

Thats why I like to run one shots on Roll20. Its the rapid fire way to sift through the shitty players, just tell the cream of the crop you're hosting a full campaign once you got enough.

/pfg/ is all about jacking off to ERP games, drowning out any and all other discussion.

Better than the Paizo forums, which is all about jacking off to Pathfinder, to the point that you will get banned by the designers for pointing out any and all mechanical flaws in the system.

I went on their once and called them out for nerfing a fighter archetype, I got banned in less than three days.

Anyone who watches Critical Roll. They are generally the worst kind of roleplayers, expect the DM to be a master voice actor, and for his improv to compete with a scripted webshow. They also try to turn everything into comedy because they think that that is what D&D is about. Being shallow normo-niggers, they cannot comprehend the idea of someone finding enjoyment in a hobby beyond pure light-hearted fun, and disparage those who do so. Their minds are crushed into a narrow blinder by Matt Mercer. I once went to a friend's house to watch an episode. He is part of my RPG group but I was over there for a different gathering and people hadn't arrived yet. He was taking care of his wife's son and so we were sitting and watching Critical Roll on his TV. It was without a doubt the most mind-numbingly boring shit I've imagined. Not only do the 6 different millennial cunts constantly talk over each other trying to get in their latest funny comment, but the entire set-up is retarded, Mercer's storytelling is bland at best, and his world is entirely boring. Generic fantasy world number 10,203,321 can be fun and interesting, without even that much effort, but Mercer fails even at that. Probably because everything they do has been processed by a team of six-figure marketing specialists who are trying to squeeze as much money from this sad pathetic phenomenon as they can. After a half-hour some other guests arrived and we finally shut it off. We had also watched some YouTube video of RoosterTeeth (some equally autistic wastes for flesh, for those who don't know) where they play some video game where you are a baby on an apartment balcony trying to shit on people on the street below. Scary thing is, when we switched to Critical Roll I didn't notice much of a difference in quality. The level of autistic, mic-frothing laughter was still the same, for one thing.

People who are more interested in complaining than playing.

Sounds like you've been holding in that sperg meltdown for a bit

wtf people aren't zones

I mean it's good that he's getting it out through Veeky Forums, else IRL people would be subjected to his screeching.

D&D suddenly becoming hugely popular with kids can only be good for the hobby. Without new people getting involved we're just a bunch of bearded 30somethings playing pretend games that no one cares about.

I don't know. The hobby does need some new blood, but are those kids gonna stick around once they realize that real games aren't like the one with professional actors working from a script?

It's pretty easy to find the place.

If you go anywhere and within 5-10 minutes are like "Wow, I do not like these guys" then bounce out of there.

I've seen a huge influx of kids around lately, a lot of them cite The Adventure Zone and Critical Roll as why they looked into it. They tend to play in their own isolated groups, naturally, but they're clearly having fun. I listened to a group of high schoolers in my FLGS' game room while I was building models last week where the party had been deeded an old rundown castle and the surrounding barony and had to fix up the castle and clear the monsters out of all the nearby dungeons while the count just over their border schemed to own control of a river.

Also the musclebound elf barbarian chick was hitting the demure human wizard chick(both played by actual girls)

So they're doing fun stuff.

>kids can only be good for the hobby. Without new people getting involved we're just a....

Churn is good. New blood is good.
That said, we can still discriminate.
Not every infusion is beneficial.

Who are we to decide, though? If they're having a good time, can we really tell them they're doing it wrong?

>implying telling people they're having badwrongfun isn't the greatest sexual pleasure ever known to neckbeards.

>Who are we to decide, though?

Let every gaming group or community decide for itself. Welcome some, but turn away others.

Some groups may recruit without standards--so be it. Others may be a bit more stringent--this is fine too.

What are slampiggies?

>Some groups may recruit without standards
They'll develop standards pretty quickly

fpbp

dude it's code for his shitheel racism he doesn't mean actual standards

To put it simply,

A plump receptacle of affection
Squealing optional, but recommended

The Paizo forums went downhill around the release of the Advanced Class Guide, what with increase in soapboxing in the releases and the more level headed of the Community Managers/Moderators, Liz Courts, starting to be less active and then leaving. Hell, before that there was rampant kissassing and the majority of people were what you would expect from Paizo clientele, but at least you could talk about the game. Now posts get deleted left and right because of reasons such as the post mentioning a character wearing a wifebeater, or "making someone from Paizo stuff uncomfortable"(Wish I could find my screencap of it)
