Dick.

Dick is offensive to men. I prefer you use something gender-neutral like 'flambastergun'.



This is all tongue in cheek in case anyone was wondering.

Well, apart from how all RPG boards look these days, that is.

Thought so

Like I said, I agree with the spirit of the thread, even if I'm kind of iffy on the word choice.

I was giving him the benefit of doubt and assumed he was talking about cats.......








well currently any given RPG forum is acting like a herd of cats. Can you blame me?

Ouch.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;755627. . . i do think there are players and posters who meet OHT's description that are basically sore losers, and I have to admit I have very little patience for that.

Impregnating someone while playing a sport could be kinda impressive, though.

Dude, it's Kiero, the guy who used to spend half of every post at Big Purple pointing out, 'I'm not like you guys.'

Quote from: Gabriel2;755622Well, if other forums bother you so much, you can just ignore them and stay here in a realm where it's constantly about player hatred and songs of praise to Cartmanesque GM Authoritah.

Pussy

Well, then ....

  OHT, all your *D&D characters are dead. Level drained down to -1, brains eaten by mind flayers, bodies disintegrated, souls trapped in Asmodeus' private collection, equipment eaten by rust monsters or dropped into a mixture of green slime and black pudding.

  I hope you won't whine or complain about this.

I prefer 'excelsior,' personally.

Quote from: Snowman0147;755648We did had balance.  It was called 4e and look what happen to it.

4e was watered down drivel, which was why I never invested time or money in it. If that's balance, I'd prefer to be imbalanced. Besides, the real world ain't fair, why should an RPG be any different?

I have had to deal with this on several occasions in my recent games.

I had one dude get killed because he kept fucking with the other party members. He wouldn't help them escape and was generally working for the bad guys (which was hilarious...). So they let him get captured by said bad guys (essentially when they got out, they regrouped and left him out, assuming he was on the other side now...). I thought he wanted to play the bad guy, so I hooked him up and tried to transform him into a super monster thing so he could be part of and run the bad guys, but he wanted no part of it. He rage quit and walked out. Right then. Halfway through the session. I was tired of dealing with his temper tantrums so I left him out.

In another game (same group), the players encountered a superior force of monsters. They just had a party spat about something. One person was off hunting alone, a couple were above the "dungeon" at the manor house and the rest of the group were in the dungeon below cataloging a huge library. The monsters attack, and by the time the group gets together, there have been several dead PCs. No one fled, no one tried to regroup, no team work. Just a horrible TPK slaughter.

They were in a notoriously "haunted" town and aware of awful things afoot with the several encounters before the "big attack" and they just ran about like toddlers in a McDonald's play room. Then they were pissed because the monsters were tough and they all died. It was disheartening. I didn't try to kill them but I didn't pull any punches either. I just reacted to the decisions they were making.

I asked them "you don't feel at all responsible for what just happened?". Nope. It was me being a dick GM. I brought up all the aforementioned points above and they were singing a different tune at the end of our conversation (they still made snide comments about the tough monsters however...).

Worse? They still wouldn't work together! No matter what I tried to do, they just refused. A couple of those guys were fantastic roleplayers but the lot of them were special snowflakes. If I had not moved away, I think I would have taken a long RPG break. In fact, I'm working on my setting and doing just that at the moment.

For my next thing (in a few months) I want to assemble a group of good GAMERS. Balanced people who like roleplaying but also grok the idea of team work, safety in numbers, and actually being cool to each other. Maybe people who understand that adventures come with RISKS?! Without the risks, any success just feels like a hollow victory. I don't need sycophantic wet-noodles. Just people who understand the fun in a group activity requires accommodating all the members of that group. We're in this together, ya know?

For the record: I'm tired of running happy safe My Little Pony Dungeon Time! Come to think of it, that may not be a bad idea. At least there would be less excuses for special snowflake ninja solo time!

Vagina.

There, I said it.
