I HAVEN'T PLAYED A DECENT, FUCKING GAME IN FIVE, FUCKING, YEARS! NO-ONE GIVES A SHIT AND IT'S DRIVING ME MAD! MY ROOMMATE CAN'T SIT STILL FOR TWO SECONDS WITHOUT FUCKING WITH THE DICE, RAMBLING ABOUT INANE BULLSHIT, OR FUCKING WITH THE OTHER PLAYERS, AND HE THROWS A FUCKING BITCH-FIT WHEN I TRY TO GAME WITHOUT HIM! EVERYONE ELSE EITHER DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY, DOESN'T WANT TO READ THE BOOKS AND CAN'T SIT STILL FOR TWO SECONDS, OR PLAYS FOR HALF AN HOUR AND STARTS RAMBLING WITH MY ROOMMATE ABOUT INANE BULLSHIT!
THE ONE FRIEND I HAVE THAT ACTUALLY ROLEPLAYS AND LIKES TO ROLEPLAY HAS BEEN IN THE ARMED FORCES A CONTINENT AWAY FOR YEARS! EVERYONE ELSE HAS EITHER MOVED TO ANOTHER STATE, GOT MARRIED, STARTED A FAMILY, AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY TIME, OR IS IN THE PEN FOR SELLING METH AND DMT IN FRONT OF A CORNER-STORE!
I JUST WANT TO FUCKING GM A SINGLE FUCKING GAME AGAIN! BUT I CAN'T, AND IT'S KILLING ME! I DON'T SEE THE FUCKING POINT IN TRYING ANYMORE, IT JUST BURNS INSIDE AND I'M STARTING TO GO FUCKING INSANE! I CAN'T STOP FANTASIZING ABOUT BURNING DOWN MY GODDAMN APARTMENT, AND IF PRISONS ALLOWED DICE, I HONESTLY THINK I FUCKING MIGHT!
IT'S A FUCKING MESS AND I'M STARTING TO HATE EVERYONE I KNOW! WHAT THE FUCK CAN I DO ABOUT IT Veeky Forums, TELL ME, WHAT TJE FUCK CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

The lowest common denominator is you.

Have you tried not playing D&D?
Jaxson Watson
FUCK YOU, I'VE FUCKING TRIED EVERY FUCKING SYSTEM UNDER THE FUCKING SUN, BUT IT MEANS JACK, FUCKING, SHIT!
DOUBLE-FUCKING FUCK YOU!

William Gomez
>EVERYONE ELSE HAS EITHER MOVED TO ANOTHER STATE, GOT MARRIED, STARTED A FAMILY, AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY TIME Honestly, if you have a life outside of roleplaying games, you should not be playing them. You have everything else: a family, a career, other friends. Possibly a girlfriend, but I wouldn't really count that because I know you can have a gf but still have no life. But why would you miss RPG night? Either you have a shit job, or children, or something else that is clearly more important to you than gaming. Well, in that case, get out. RPGs are not for casual players who happen in whenever they feel like it, as if this is poker night. RPGs require consistent attendance and a deep devotion to the craft of collaborative storymaking. If you can't keep away the parasitic blight of children and relationships and work for ONE NIGHT A WEEK, then you should not be playing. And your enslavement disgusts me.People like that get kicked from my group on a monthly basis. It pisses me off to the point where I outright ban players who have children, spouses, extroverted hobbies outside of RPGs, or jobs that are not a standard 9 to 5 circuit.
Levi Barnes
Sounds like you need to play GURPS OP.
Eli Smith
I DON'T HAVE A FAMILY FUCK-TARD, I'M BITCHING BECAUSE EVERY-FUCKING-PLAYER BESIDES MY MOTHER-FUCKING ROOMMATE I KNOW DOES, AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING TIME. AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY JUST FUCKING SIT DOWN, CHAT UP MY ROOMMATE FOR FOUR FUCKING HOURS ABOUT UNRELATED FUCKING HORSE-SHIT!
Jack Roberts
FUCK, I FUCKING HAVE, BUT NO-ONE GIVES A SHIT HOW MUCH WORK I PUT INTO MAKING A FUCKING CAMPAIGN SETTING OR HOW MUCH CASH I SINK INTO EVERY FUCKING RULEBOOK UNDER THE SUN SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO! I'M FUCKING MAD MAN, I'M FUCKING MAD!
Owen Gonzalez
I'd play with you user.
Asher Smith
Jesus Christ.
Logan Cruz
I'll play with you. Ome means of contacting you, and I'd gladly play in a campaign you host. (I prefer D&D, but I'm open to whatever.)
Juan Lewis
>mfw I literally accidentally a god tier online game with fa/tg/uys in my game line of choice two weeks ago by lightly mentioning it in a general
They told me it absolutely couldn't be done too. Tough luck OP.
Xavier Parker
FUCK I ONLY FUCKING WISH! I'D GIVE ANYTHING, FUCKING, ANY-THING, TO FUCKING PLAY JUST ONE FUCKING GAME AGAIN! TO JUST SIT DOWN WITH MY FRIENDS, AND PLAY 'TILL MIDNIGHT JUST ONE LAST TIME, JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS! BUT IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I HAD UNTIL IT WAS GONE!
Seriously??? Fucking seriously??? For real, for really real??? Damn, fucking damn, that's amazing man, it really is, but I don't know how to contact you. I could give you a throwaway email, but I don't have any idea how that could work. Fuck, maybe we could tripcode on /qst/??? I dunno man, but I'll do anything!
Dominic Taylor
go back there
James Davis
Fuck, if you don't my asking, how did that happen? That sounds fucking heavenly, I'm not big on online shit, but I dont have any other option and I'm willing to do anything!
Ryan Powell
Legitimate advice: find a game online. It's not too difficult to find a group that's not shit, 'though it may take some time.
James James
I just asked if anyone knew where to play, and failing that, I then asked if anyone wanted to play online. I had to cajole them just a smidge but it worked. I was very lucky. I was also very calm and friendly.
Thomas Collins
I've been playing at least once a week (sometimes up to three times) for years now thanks to the wonders of online tabletop systems (Roll20 and others)
It's got to the point that I don't really want to play with people IRL anymore. Once you escape that dungeon filled with cheeto dust, sweaty man boobs, and anime porn, you realize how much better it is just playing with some disembodied voices over Discord in your own comfy room filled with anime porn.
Sebastian Howard
Go back where? Where do you want me to go back to??? /qst/? Never been. /pol/, I don't give a shit about politics. Reddit? Fucking Reddit? Is that it? Is that fucking it? Do you want me to go to Reddit? I've never fucking been, I visited worldbuilding once, never again! I can't go back, but if I could, I fucking would.
OK, I'll try, but I don't know anything about that. Do you know anywhere worth looking?
Ah, thanks man. I'm sorry I'm so pissed off, but damnit I'm on the fucking brink. I'm on the honest-to-god fucking brink.
Asher Bailey
whatever shithole you came from
Jaxon Perry
Really? That's great man, I'm happy for you, I really am, but I don't have anything for that. No voice equipment, I don't even have a PC, I'm phone posting from the kitchen trying to make some ramen fucking noodles without waking up my FUCKING ROOMMATE.
Jason Perez
Damnit, I'm from nowhere, this shithole is the closest I have to a home and I'm not leaving damnit.
Nicholas Carter
I know this hobby has a lot of autists, but God damn.
Zachary Scott
Just play vidya you gaylord
Lucas Wood
In addition, many of my games have been god-tier. I played for awhile IRL before starting this online shit, so I know the difference.
your best bet is to place/reply to ads on websites that support the kind of game you're going for.
I've had a lot success using the roll20 forums, reddit (r/LFG) and even some of the game finder threads here. If you look, you'll see there are dozens of places online you can look for games. You're really missing out user. You complain about having no one to play with, but there is almost an infinite pool of potential players out there.
Ian Evans
GURPSfag here. I'm running a fantasy hack and slash game. Do yo wanna play?
Henry Russell
Calm down, have a drink, have a fap or something, find a general for a game that you're interested in, and post reasonably and friendly and see what happens. Game Finder is legit worthless though.
Liam Howard
Fuck you and fuck vidya, I've had to listen to my fucking faggot of a NEET roommate play fucking Call of Duty, Minecraft, and god-damned Mario in his fucking bedroom for fucking YEARS! YEARS, of the same damn games, over and over, and over fucking over. I'm sick and fucking tired of vidya. I just want to roll some fucking dice, is that too much to ask?
Easton Harris
Why am I autistic? Because I don't drop my passion in life to pump out a screaming shitstain like everyone else?
Luke Roberts
>phone posting without even a laptop or something to voice or text game from
Disregard all my advice you're fucking doomed.
Landon Martinez
OK man, I'll look into that. Thanks, seriously, thanks.
I'm drinking some spiked tea right now and I've been on no-fap for two months, but thanks, I'm trying to calm down, OK. Thanks for the advice.
That sounds like the bomb fucking diggity man. What are you playing on, Roll20, or what? If I have to, I'll pack up right now and fucking hike if you'll give me an address.
Daniel Rivera
There is always PbP I guess, but that's never been my jam, and I guess OP wouldn't enjoy it either.
Kayden Jackson
I mean you can roll dice and play vidya at the same time. Or you can play morrowind if you want an tabletop-like rpg experience
William Gomez
Literally sounds like your problem is your roommate user. Every issue you have you relate to his presence, have you considered that you may be in a toxic platonic relationship with your roommate?
Why not just move out? I'm assuming your roommate isn't one of your parents.
Ryan Thompson
Fuuuuuck I'd thought as much. Thanks anyway though.
I'm fine with play by post, I'm fine with anything, fuck I'd fucking fuck a fully-grown fucking Galapagos fucking tortoise raw for a game, any game, honestly, I'd do ANYTHING.
Nolan Parker
Why are you autistic? Who knows?
Why I can tell your autistic? Pretty much your first post and this subsequent reply.
Austin King
I always could, but damnit, it isn't the fucking same and it all feels so fucking empty.
I can't, he's a fucking nice guy I've known him for years and I wouldn't do that to him, he's just fucking ADHD or some shit and can't sit down and fucking play anything that isn't a glowing fucking chinese shit-box. It's just impossible to play with him, and he can't handle me playing without him, he's just not fucking normal. It's not a normal fucking relationship and I don't know what to fucking do.
Levi Cruz
Just b urself.
Jose Foster
CRUISE CONTROOOOOOLLLLLLL WOOOOOOOOOO OH FUCK A DEER
Jace Ortiz
Capsposters should never ever GM, you seem to get mad whenever your players enjoy themselves. Also addictposting makes you look even more like a retard. Also this But not this. >I'm a semi-retard with real actual brain damage who can barely remember the sourcebooks I read >running yet another 3.5 campaign over roll20 >for a rules-lawyer, a lite ERPfag, a guy who always plays tragic characters with involved backstories but gets legitimately angered when the NPCs give them shit for being such-and-such the renowned killer, a guy who always plays the same "wise mage" with zero effort and just wants to shitpost constantly OOC about what's happening in-game, and someone's wife who isn't super interested but always shows up >engage the shitposter with the ERPfag in OOC bants about her ERP character, remind each of them when their combat turns come if needed in private messages >tragic hero character's backstory and mission drives plot wherever I feel like taking it >except when it doesn't so the wife's character can shine which makes her put forth some effort in roleplaying and tactical decisions and enjoy the game more so she doesn't start anything out of boredom >defer to rules-lawyer's expertise on matters of rules, just pm him "do you remember the sourcebook with ____, I wanted to double-check something" for everything I've completely forgotten about or never knew to begin with but need to, and thank him for helping me out >allow him some time to argue and explain rules each session but move things along if it slows down too much >if I ever forget what I was doing with the plot due to brain damage and forgetting to write it down, just swap in a random dungeon and bring back an old NPC or make a new one for some lead on something about the tragic hero's backstory And everyone has a great time and keeps coming back. 3.5 is an amazing base.
Joshua Wilson
>I can't, he's a fucking nice guy I've known him for years and I wouldn't do that to him >he's just not fucking normal >It's not a normal fucking relationship and I don't know what to fucking do.
I can hear the desperation in your text. You are describing a literal textbook toxic relationship.
Adam Robinson
Since when did Veeky Forums become a tumblr blog opining about toxic relationships? Isn't that just a meaningless buzzword used to avoid or unnecessarily justify any sort of confrontation?
Connor Nguyen
This is why people make fun of this hobby, jesus christ dude.
Dylan Hall
>unhealthy relationships are just a Tumblr buzzword
Alexander Clark
>meaningless buzzword Erm, no.
Its a word that means your friends with / dating / working with someone who consistently makes your life shittier but you feel too _______ to do anything about it. I guess in this sense it is similar to the end of your post "used to avoid or unnecessarily justify any sort of confrontation", but I wouldn't say its USED, its rather associated with people who trapped for some reason, and bound to that person.
Source: I used to have tons of "these people" in my life. One day, after knowing them for about 7 years, I simply cut them out of my life (Verbal confrontation had occurred many times at that point, and never resulted in any changes) and now my life is better than its ever been. You don't fucking OWE anyone anything, other than your parents if they were kind to you. You don't have to put up with ANYONE'S drama bullshit if you don't want to.

Alexander Smith
I like how you took the time to take off caps lock to write Veeky Forums, you bastard
Benjamin Perez
>OMG there's an issue with this relationship, better cut all ties and label it toxic You can be friends with people that sometimes make you uncomfortable or do things you don't want. You just have to talk to them like an adult or leave them alone when they make you feel uncomfortable instead of just saying "I CAN'T EVEN."
Levi Russell
a toxic relationship is one where any interaction with the person makes your life worse, so the best solution is just avoiding them and cutting them out of your life
Colton Cruz
And here you are telling a person who has only mentioned a single situation in which his friend bothers him to cut all ties with the guy instead of acting like an adult and either working with the guy to solve the problem or learning how to deal with it himself. Because heaven forbid you grow as a person.
Jaxon Jenkins
I find it amusing that you caps lock'd your way through an entire post, yet you spelled Veeky Forums correctly, with the lowercase. This oddly precise attention to detail leads me to believe this is some rather unusual, but not unheard of, bait and that you have no intention of making a reasonable thread. In that case, kindly find a window and defenestrate yourself.
On the exceedingly low chance that this is not bait and you're just very attentive while furiously angry, I sympathize with your position. Please come back to Veeky Forums once you've calmed down and can discuss in a reasonable manner and tone, we'd be happy to assist you as able. Perhaps the gamefinder thread can be of assistance.
Josiah Howard
>spacing oh i see now, it's actually a redit buzzword.
Landon Edwards
>fuck spacing out your paragraphs, that's for people on the website i autistically pretend to hate to feel better about myself for posting on an uzbekistani crocheting forum
Noah Diaz
This, Wtf is this reddit spacing bullshit? Do you know what a paragraph is?
Grayson Bell
>not putting everything in one big textwall is le reddit spacing I bet reddit's hiding under the bed and in your closet at night.
Matthew Garcia
There's a new generation of anti intellectualism on Veeky Forums, I wish they at least used image macros like the fedora memes but related to spacing.
Kevin Morgan
user, you might have other issues that are compounding the problem.
Have you considered getting therapy? It's like car maintenance for your brain. If your car is making a funny noise, you get it checked out and fixed by professionals. If your brain is making a funny noise, do the same thing.
Anthony Thompson
>Justifying this shitter taking advantage of OPs good graces
Sasuga tha/tg/uy, now suck a .38 barrel and begone.
Levi Scott
No, people make fun of this hobby because they are worthless normalfucks without a semblance of individuality. Just work, drink, breed. That's all they do. My old job involved a lot of interacting with these normalfucks. Most of them don't give a shit about much besides football, drinking, boating, raising their shit kids, and getting promoted at work. What a sad fucking existence, fucking pieces of shit. I don't allow those kinds of cocksuckers in my game. I carefully picked the most frigid of permavirgins to play with, because I know that they will not be starting families after some fat wheat-smelling cunt with a dissolving uterus flashes her tits at them. That's what happened to one of my friends, and for a while he would skype in to our games with his shitspawn screeching in the background. Took me 4 months to get up the nerve to kick him out of the group. I knew that guy a long time, and I was sad to see him go.
Jacob James
meet new people. can't do that? no game. easy.
Isaac Reed
So yes, you're saying it is indeed from Tumblr and you mean to colonize this board. Otherwise you would have kept it simple and just said they were assholes instead of shilling your vague all-encompassing get-out-of-relationships-free card.

Thomas Garcia
>haha if I associate this anonymous poster with the behaviors I am objecting to because he notes I used a retarded passive-aggressive wishing-thee-health term for thatguyism, pawning off the accusation onto the RELATIONSHIP rather than the INDIVIDUAL to avoid any perceived offense while still nonetheless attacking, instead of calling it as it is, no one will realize I'm from Tumblr
Matthew Powell
What the fuck are you even saying, spaz?
Carter Scott
Not him but if you're screaming at random people on the internet because someone you know is negatively impacting your mental health, you're probably better off just not associating with them anymore.
Not every uncomfortable act is built to make you stronger, if it did then masochists would be fucking Supermen after being beaten, flogged, burned, and choked for pleasure over the course of a few years.
Joseph Lopez
I've never played a tabletop game in my life well, not a roleplaying one, anyway, I just watch other people online play and imagine how I would play.
