No That Guy thread? That Guy thread

Good for you, user. Guy sounded like he was mentally draining.

Yeah, definitely. Better way to describe it is that his whole demeanor feels desperate for human contact, any human contact, and the more intimate the better. A real Sycophant.

>That guy at my FLGS is a waac faggot of the highest degree
>Always brings in innapropriate models usually with dicks and tits all over them
>When not playing a game he will sit around and watch fucking hentai on his phone without headphones
>Ragequits after losing a single unit
>Wears hentai t-shirts
>You will smell him before you see him
>Smells like unwashed dick and pubes
>He targets new players and beats them into the dust 3 of which have not returned
>If he loses a game he sits and seethes in the corner and watches hentai with the volume turned all the way up and talks to himself
>Store owner won't do shit because he spends all of his disability money in the store
>Is 34 and can't drive so he rides around with his parents

>Passive-agressive. You suck.
You dare shit talk the Brits national pastime?

>illogical plothole in a investigation campaing
>it's not the first time when this happens, I don't bring this up because I don't want to ruin the mood or start an argument
>2 hours of chasing our own tail and walking in circles later
>"stupid players, the plothole was a main clue and you missed it"

Do you wanna go, you fucking slag?

>Playing the American expansion of Sine RRequie.
>That Guy's first PC had just died of tetanus, because he stuck them in eyes during a temper tantrum.
>That Guy seemingly decided to redeem himself, he created an Emperor-arcana CSA defector looking to become a powerful warlord in Zombie USA.
>His backstory gave him a bonus to improvised weapons, this will be important later on.
>The party, after a week passed killing zombies in Boulder, got wind, thanks to a superhuman telepathic that President Benjamin Clark was going to visit Hope/Denver.
>Idontlikewherethisisgoing
>That Guy coaxs the telepath to come with the party, despite the fact that superhumans' powers activate at random, and despite the rest of the party's protests.
>The superhuman never manages to have a single useful mind read, so That Guy forces the telepath to be his pack mule for his bottles, gunpowder, gas and petards.
>The party figures that trying to assassinate President Benjamin and get his insciuus VP in power is a good way to start fix the absolute shithole that is the US.
>The Party plans for two entire sessions, picking the exact building from where attack, how to avoid getting massacred by an entire army of zombies, the escape route, the way we were going to kill him, and so on.
>That Guy nods and smiles through all of this.
>He ends up being somebody supposed to set off a petard in a crowd, redirecting the president's car on a route where the veteran can shoot him with his shotgun with ease.
>The next session, the president arrives at Union Station and gets on the limo.
>Right in that moment, That Guy says "I try to create a petard-enchanced Molotov cocktail."
>The cartons certain tells him that it's going to startle everyone and start an armed hunt for us all, instead of giving us enough time to scatter and regroup somewhere else in Denver.
>He points out that we could very well kill him in one shot, and he insists.

Shit, there are more of the guy from my store?

>The Cartomancer and another player are convinced, so they let him craft it, I stand my ground on it being a bad idea, but I have to let it go.
>His crafting checks go pretty well, two Emperors and one Death out of five checks.
>Then he lights them up all at once.
>Hefails the Stealth check to light them up discreetly, however...
>Begin spotted, the president rushes to the limo and the armed guards shoot in the crowd as it dispersed screaming
>We ask him to snuff the fire out and run for his life, but he refuses and throws them.
>One hits the armed guards. Being zombies, they are barely affected.
>One hits the presidential limo, making it catch fire, but the president and the first lady get out in time.
>The third one blows up in his hand, he loses a hand and an eye while also catching fire.
>I decide to try to bail his ass out, but the president sees me.
>I fail my Willpower check, so I'm forced to gun That Guy down.
>That Guy rees.

I've got a That Guy who

He was not invited back to play with the group.

>I deal with her completely stone-faced and monotone until she leaves in a rage.
>Party successfully completes the module
>Report her character as dead online after the game
Still feels good.

That sounds like a very annoying player indeed.

this sounds like a great game, providing he brings paper towels to the table before blowing his brains out

>Monk Bartender
>Random commoner with class levels

It's the "tavern owner is a retired adventurer" schtick.

>Goes into Bar, asks barkeep a question then immediately attacks him

Played in a campaign where the DM's gf did this as well, except she was playing a wizard and mindraped the bartender with Detect Thoughts for no reason and then attacked with Magic Missile when he objected. Rest of the players got sick of her shit pretty fast and left the game soon afterwards.

>That guy who only has one character that he associates too closely with and refuses to play any campaign he's not allowed to make it in.
>That guy who gets told his character can think it's whatever it wants to be, regardless of what it is and decides to play with the restriction

>That guy who rage quits the after 4 sessions.

Also.
>That DM that promises this 5e game won't turn into Star Wars shit again.
>That DM who 5 sessions in can't contain his autism and turns the game into Star Wars.

>Turns 5e into Star Wars
... What? Elaborate user, that sounds nuts.

>That Guy who can't keep themselves from attacking players with overpowered builds.
>They still fail hilariously 100% of the time. Usually getting their character killed.

Granted we only play with a shitty rules-lite homebrew system over the internet but this happens every time.

Bitch I’m Irish and I don’t think the DM is trying to unsettle me when he includes famine.

The blacks I know (granted, just a few of them) have nothing against slavery, especially when it involves the possibility of owning young, cute, devoted, white female slaves.

I remember you

Nah, dude is whiter than I am and I just got a dna test showing I'm 100% from the British Isles.

Agreed.
GIVE MORE!

I was playing the module straight. It's PF, every random mook has stats from the author and this one had a name so caution should have been used.

He means it becomes about womens and POC empowerment and toxic masculinity.

Huh?

He means it becomes about how only women can make good decisions, and how the world will bend over backwards to make sure that any male idea doesn't work.

Some see the newest trilogy of Star Wars films as being politically charged, chiefly in that it's lead is considered a Mary Sue by some and happens to be female, and the chief supporting character is black. Well, arguably chief supporting, he's literally irrelevant to the newest movie.

Adventurers should die in the pursuit of glory or retire to modest-to-extravagant lives of luxury. Your party should only ever encounter ex hobos as curiously adept randos in the night- or in the very highest tiers of power, where level 15-18's have become the kings and archmagi

>is considered by some
>Perfectly fits a definition of something
I'm not even trying to derail with shitposting, but that is one fucked up way to look at the world. That's like saying
>The pyramid of Giza is considered a pyramid by some

I'm saying that because there's a bigass contingent of people who don't consider it as such.
You know, like how regardless of my opinions on the subject and how obvious the answer is I'd still say "Some consider there to be an all-powerful god".

The entire campaign was just the 'Black Fleet Crisis'. The group did a modified and shortened version of everything leading up to the battle of Doornik-319 in normal 5e DnD world before being transported to the SW universe. I can't for the life of me remember how he handled switching the universes but I do remember waking up on a Republic ship in his homebrew Star Wars conversion.
It was all pretty in depth and well done but that's short of it. Wasn't too interesting to a group of people who didn't care about the SW universe, and his conversions could have used a bit more work. But we all went along so he could get it out of his system and we could get back to playing non-SW games.

Ah, so you're in favour of the "Authority Equals Asskicking" trope and not so much the "Retired Badass" trope. That's fine, not everyone has to like each trope equally.

Opinions aren't equal, some opinions are based on a high level of critical thinking and evidence.

The all-powerful god opinion is a great example, even.

You're conflating all opinions being equal, but that's not really the point.

Either way, this is less opinion and more strict definition. The accepted definition of Mary Sue fits the new Star Wars lead better than the actual book Mary Sue is based on.

Wouldn't keeping it a bunch of white people, in defiance of the direction culture and media is headed, be at least as political? Stop using that word as a dogwhistle for "things that trigger me"

user, I know you think you're being important or something, but you missed the entire point of the argument.

Learn to read?

I can get behind it more. It's an offshoot of my being an edgy faggot who thinks that anime bullshit "love and friendship!" shouldn't survive your 5th jaunt into a dungeon and an encounter with soul harrowing evil

You people are fucking obsessed. It’s so strange.

Rey being a Mary Sue is not the same as the entire movie being politically charged. The former might be a fact based upon definition, the latter is an opinion.

If the entire main cast (or the whole cast in general) were all white people and the bad guys were diverse then I'd say that it could be considered politically charged from the other direction, yes.

You would love reading the Frog God Games excerpt where the DM realized he accidentally gave the party so much money they would never have a reason to adventure ever again, and how he panicked and frantically thought up a way for the church to beg for a huuuuge donation for a war that was blooming.

Huh. That's... I mean I was expecting it to be worse, honestly.

Isn't there a lot of evidence for it being politically motivated from the director? He's all over social media saying that people who don't like it hated it because of it's social agenda.

As indirect evidence, the Han Solo movie had two directors fired because they refused to change the plot for political reasons when they clashed with Kathleen Kennedy. So there's one related movie that will have a high amount of political charge.

Obviously not direct evidence.

The church burns through most of its resources and banked goodwill to summon chaste and perfect anti-succubi with witch to temp the party into massive donations. Effectively selling them divine brides

Spotted those guys. Stop talking about star wars, unless it's Veeky Forums related. Have you got an underage twilek stripper in YOUR campaign? Tell us all about how she tried to seduce a stormtrooper and then complained when they shot her.

There's a lot of evidence for them HAVING those leanings, such as this:
nme.com/news/film/jj-abrams-says-that-star-wars-the-last-jedi-critics-are-threatened-by-women-2245164

But the views of the directors on those issues may not necessarily translate into deliberately pushing an agenda in their films.

>That guy who derails what would be a interesting topic
>Those guys that follow along

Alright, thank you for being fair with the discussion.

The That Guy for my Star Wars game was a Jedi who was the worst Jedi you've ever fucking met.
>Slash first, ask questions later
>Sees people as irredeemably evil
>Sees anybody politically opposed to him as irredeemably evil even if they're literally just the sort of people who want to go live in the Imperial Remnant and leave the rest of the galaxy alone
>Constantly threatened and mide snide comments to the other member of our party who was force sensitive because she was a Jal Shey not a Jedi, he was like 3 sentences away from persecuting her for heresy
And every single time, without fail, he would throw a bitch fit for losing morality and constantly talk about how he was the most moral and upstanding for BEING a Jedi. GM was a pussy and never actually made the fucker fall, either.

Yeah, wasn't completely awful. It's kind of one of those things where it doesn't sound too bad, but actually playing through it is rough. Assuming the role of what's basically an entirely new character, having to learn new skills, feats, and rolls on the fly, never having the world hop explained in full, etc. I guess I also didn't really capture how autistic he was about keeping the group on the linear, lore driven path he wanted us on the entire time.

/pol/aks, amirite

Yeah, I getcha. It can be hard to convey those kinds of things even if you go full storytime with it, especially if it's over a long stretch of time.

>Maul reaction image
I approve. Can we make Maulposting a thing, that'd be sweet.

Im a bit of a /pol/ak myself but i mean come on, i want to come here and enjoy my hobby, i dont want to concer myself with the current political climate when im too busy smiting the undead.

>gentlemauls

>two user have reasonable and calm discussion in a that guy thread
>That guys spend the next hour jerking off about how terrible their lives are instead of posting their own stories
What am I scrying?

>Gentlemauls

I got a that GM who alternates games being run every other week with me
>Always wants to run horror games using D20 Modern
>refuses to learn to run any other system other than D20 Modern
>screams at the players to think outside the box
>players try to get through situations, however the way he presents said situation only lends itself to have a few avenues to move on, and they're always the wrong option lending them to get punished
>players try to come up with some macgyver type answer to the problem only to get heavily punished because muh realism in D20
>GM once said the first several hours of a new campaign would be super boring but swears it'll totally get fun after that.
Shit niggas the list keeps going and this shit was only in the last few months

>The first several hours are boring
Your GM is a railroading shithead, but he's not wrong. First sessions can be slow because everyone's getting into the flow of their character and the world. You're just not supposed to broadcast that, everyone accepts campaigns get better as everyone gets to know their characters and the GM gets into the flow better.

When he said that, it was three five hour sessions of sitting in a conference room discussing a mercenary contract and wanting us to ask very specific questions that players out of game would not think to ask. I would argue that first sessions can be quite fun, however as the adage goes: depends on the game/setting/whose running it/style.

Embrace maulposting

What the actual fuck. Now our sperger in our community doesnt sound that bad anymore.

don't believe everything you read on the internet

>would have been interesting
I'd call you stupid but that might be unfair, maybe you've just woken up from a two year coma
Every single that guy thread devolves into /pol/ shitposting now. I know they're board tradition but at this point they're pretty much bait threads

>tries to seduce PCs and NPCs
He was a weird dude

>As indirect evidence, the Han Solo movie had two directors fired because they refused to change the plot for political reasons when they clashed with Kathleen Kennedy.
I thought it was because they made it too jokey. Then again, all we have is Disney's word on the matter.

I ranted about the That Girl in my group in another thread, so here's a link to that rant I guess.

Oh sorry im a newfriend when it comes to Veeky Forums.

>play an FFG Star Wars game set during the Old Republic

literally me

Can someone explain me why would you watch porn of any kind if you aren't wanking?
What is the point?

>because he was convinced he was hiding a submarine somehwere.
Christ, that sounds like the worst. I hate it when players get some weird obsession over a random idea and keep pushing it to the detriment of the game.
>but muh "yes and..." roleplaying
Fuck off with that shit. There's a vast gulf of difference between "hey, that's a cool idea, let's roll with it" and "reward Autismo for wasting 2 IRL hours of everyone's time because he can't get it through his skull that there's no hidden passage behind the bookcase".

Yeah, what a reatard, MAC cannons being able to protect a space station. It's like he only watchec Clone Wars children cartoon and didn't watch Star Wars children movie or read Star Wars Extended Universe children books. Fucking imbecile.

That system and setting sound interesting but it is only in italian right?

t.hamface

He watches hentai for its in depth and intriguing plot. A filthy gajin like you wouldn't understand

I did watch Bible Black for plot, but I still stroked the pipi like mad.

What.

Where could I find such a lovely looking dish? I've never seen an apple sponge cake quite like that before.

I find rey unlikable as hell and despise the fact that 2 main characters have died so she could replace them. I would hate her no matter her gender or color because she's just a bad character.

Fins cool and I wish he had had more screen time in the most recent movie.

NWN is a beat-em-up game in the eyes of morons that act exactly like that. There are people playing to this day that are so delusional that they treat it like an e-sport.

What was the fucking purpose of this post?

It could simply be that the ghostbusters defense is a great way to absolve yourself of blame or criticism or people just not liking it

You're just making it worse, man.
