I player character who is being an asshole can be a lot of fun to weave a great story. I played a huge asshole of a character, who was not afraid of being an asshole. I’ve also played characters who did not trust the group at all and was already to kill/back stab everyone.

My last character was wearing warpstone armor and was slowly going paranoid. I made it clear to the table that at somepoint, I was going to have to fight everyone. My poor character died in a 1 v 1 fight against a wizard.

It is a fine line to play these types of characters cause it’s easy to affect everyone’s else enjoyment of the game.

Now, an asshole player has no spot at the tbale.

I always link 2 Kings 2 to The Apocalypse Players - A Christmas Inheritance. If you enjoy a Call of Cthulu adventure, I highly recommend it.

Go do something productive.

No.

Trans rights are half-orc rights!

I have a half-orc character who takes signs from their “god”. Both times, the half-orc started two orc supremacists groups. The half-orcs primary target was the elites aka the elves.

I will recommend This Discord Has Ghosts In It.

It a haunted house investigation game played through Discord. I imagine some tweaking it could be played through any means with any setting.

Since, you just found out about the Book of Grudges. That be a grudgin’.

I forgot their character names, so I just give them nicknames. The power of playing a dumb character.

For some games, you want to roll low. So a 17 would be a failure.

Does that pesky human have family? Grudge.

Was that pesky human raised in a town/city/village? Grudge.

Did that pesky human have followers? Grudge.

The Imperial Knight Houses, Chaos Knight Houses, and Titans for your stereotypical mechs.

One could argue that Tau Battlesuits, Space Marine Dreadnaughts, Chaos Dreadnaughts, Hellbrutes, Killa Kans, Deff Dreads, Wraith Lords, Paragon Warsuits, Mortifiers, and Penitent Engines are just smaller mechs.

That’s why I really enjoy the “fail but” or “success except” mechanic were even failing still advances the plot. Maybe you get lost however stumble upon something that can help with the objective.

I like to think this meeting could’ve been a fist fight.

lancer (epic mecha building fantasy. make a big beautiful bot from a ridiculously large number of options over time and fight. super duper crunchy)

Lancet is so much fun. It’s really about building super op mechs and the GM doing the excavation same thing to you.

The lore is amazing. NPHs, blink space, Ra, Horous, and more.

mothership (aliens the ttrpg. shit goes down on spaceships. you will probably die in a spectacular way. it will be fun.)

We had a total party kill within hour and half. So much fun. The GM was telling us the party before fucked up so bad, the planet had to get nuked.

If you’re really not ready for it to happen, make sure they have some other quest to do that has a pressing time limit.

So, distract the players as if they are children. Good idea.

DnD 5e which then turned into Soulbound which then turned into a TTRPG convention when turned into backing games on Kickstarter and buying other systems.

Somewhere, an ad exec just stiff.

I back Vaesen on Kickstarter and this would be prefect for that.

“Look, you got a large body of water on your property that isn’t fenced in. If a women falls in their and dies, we’re looking at a Rusalka moving in. Here’s your order to fence in pond.”

Under rated comment.

All that we are is dust in the wind.

I never create a backstory. All my characters had personalities, different ways of solving problems, and I acted out the characters in their own unique ways.

All my characters are built around an idea. Ideas like “Kobold snake oil salesman”, “Necromancer Child Edutainer”, “Skaven Engineer”, “Communist Dwarf”, “A delusional ghoul named Jeff Bezos”, etc.

Since, I do a lot of improvisation, not having a back story allows me to adapt my character to the story.
