Why do players fucking ruin everything? It's gotten to the point where I prefer daydreaming about the kinds of campaigns I want to run because when I actually run one, I get "lol I'm a dwarf who worships the god of beer" and characters that can jump 300 feet from a standstill because "AXSCHUALLY." And they call classes they've never even played boring (translation: not special snowflakey enough for me) so as a result they play weird-ass classes that don't even fit into the setting.

It's not easy, but if you work at it, you can find a good group. Took me close to a decade, but now I have great games multiple times a week all with good, reliable players who line up with my playstyle. Rather than bitching about shitty players, why not direct that energy towards finding good ones?
your players are only as good as you are at GMimg
so, git gud scrub
Now I know this gets said a lot here buuut, have you tried something that isn't D&D? Maybe the kind of people who are willing to learn a system beyond the one that everyone learns first will be better players.
Its not just people being willing. DnD and especially Pathfinder really breed terrible habits into players. Partially its the autism as far as rules it encourages, and secondly its the affinity for very bland fantasy that is ripe for excessive memeing.
I know its kind of a joke on Veeky Forums, but groups that don't play much DnD are really great - if you can find one, count yourself lucky.
your pissed off about things that have not and may not even happen?
If you don't like their characters just kill them off, if they are modern PnP retards they will all rush the elder red dragon that you "randomly" rolled on the encounter table at level 1 and die in the fires of your righteous furry.
Why don’t you wait until something actually goes wrong before you come here and bitch about it. That said, gimme some details on how you did your hexcrawl I’m working on one now
You didn't even make a thread taking about something your players actually did. Just something you imagined them doing.
Come on.
Dude this is such a meme. I've run groups in other kinds of games and the same kind of shit(sometimes worse with Vampire or GURPS) still happens.
Jumping 300 feet from a standstill sounds pretty rad, what system lets me play a dragoon
