So my new campaign, first time DMing went quite well. The second session is tonight and I've mainly thought up stuff on the go. The party consists of A Paladin who worships Heironeous A Cleric who worships Pelor and has a token that looks like Knight Solaire A Rogue who has a custom crafted 'Flint Blaster' and doesn't think magic is real and everything is just well played tricks. and finally a Jester who is a prince which decided to fuck over his father by becoming a Jester. Their main arch nemesis so far is a Gnome called Willfred Fizzlebang who has been following the party around and trying to steal an artifact from them. He also landed a punch into the Rogues nutsack when he was unaware. Can't wait to see what else happens~

Pah, only a Cleric with a symbol? My campaign has Dark Souls references out the wazoo. The only "good" human faction is "The Kingdom of the Sun."
It's a roleplaying focused campaign, I'd prefer it being serious than sticking every reference in it.
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;42860825]Pah, only a Cleric with a symbol? My campaign has Dark Souls references out the wazoo. The only "good" human faction is "The Kingdom of the Sun."[/QUOTE] Their prince better be given the honorary title of "Solaire."
The last cleric I was in a game with had a holy symbol of some god of peace on his breastplate, with "BORN TO KILL" scratched in below it :v:

[QUOTE=SiberysTranq;42862371]if I kill people who would kill more than 1 other person, the net gain of peace outweighs the sin of killing a bro hence, mathematically peaceful[/QUOTE] In the weird Pathfinder/Black Crusade crossover I DM, my character is a Paladin of Khorne. He's... not a very good follower of Khorne, being lawful good and all. But "lawful good" doesn't mean "lawful nice" - there's a reason he's got +2 in Strength, and it's not so he can carry bags for little old ladies. So Khorne's happy, because people are getting killed, and the paladin code is upheld because he's only killing evil people. Really, the only reason I made him a paladin instead of antipaladin is because the party currently has NO healers. So he's a tank (AC 21 at first level), later to become tank/healer once he gets Lay On Hands.

Oh man, I so have to do that now. My party walks into the deepest part of a crypt after contending with hordes of undead and deadly traps. They're battle-worn and ready to take on the big bad. They slowly open two massive stone doors. From behind a table a skeleton in a robe looks up from his writing and says... [sp]"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU SHITDICKS WANT?"[/sp]
So this one player insists on "role-playing" his character, who he has declared a "completely insane mountain loner". This is the Wizard, btw, with 15 intelligence or so. He "roleplays" by doing the most completely weird things constantly. Like this little succession of events: In prison (mooned a Quarantine Patrol in a city under martial law due to plague, was KOd in ensuing fight) Lights cell on fire with Burning Hands Manages to hit guard with Charm Person, gets him to let him out Immediately finds a rope, makes a hangman's noose, and manages to hang the guard with a surprise attack Strips guard nude, puts on armor (technically he can't do this, as a wizard, but as the perhaps most sensible part I let it happen for now) Cuts off corpse's dick Proceed up stairs to guard barracks, completely fail to convincingly bluff I have the guards note that he isn't wearing armor properly, they send a guy to go check on the guard that he killed for no reason Quickly find Steve's corpse, he's immediately held at swordpoint by about 20 guards (a single guard KO'd him earlier, and now they aren't looking for a capture) That's when I decided to cut to the rest of the party so they can mount a rescue. They manage to cause a distraction (the distraction later turns into a civil war, but they didn't intend that), then run down to rescue him. They make it to the guard barracks, there's now only two dudes closely watching "roleplayer" "roleplayer" slaps one of them with Steve's dick Initiative rolled, "roleplayer" fumbles, one other two players manage to one-shot one of the guards while the other charges (having no ranged weapons) Other guard cuts "roleplayer" down to 1HP "roleplayer" decides to charge *past* the guard back down to the dungeons so he can harvest Steve's nuts as well Manages to dodge the attack of opportunity Rest of party finishes off guard, they manage to flee At a seedy-ass inn, lying low Tries to find a buyer for the bait'n'tackle I figure if I have an NPC out-crazy him he might settle down Sketchy mofo offers 100gp for them (I ham it up a bit more than that though), eventually negotiates up to 300gp for the "full set" He still refuses to sell, counter-offers to buy random NPC's nuts for 600gp - more than he even has In the "fight crazy with crazy", he does Tries to attack him to get money back, fails Other player finally steps in, one-shots him Inter-player fight narrowly averted I declare the "roleplayer" to no longer be chaotic good, have him change his alignment to chaotic neutral Session ended shortly thereafter when the pizza and beer ran out. Now, this isn't exactly a "serious" game, being a Black Crusade / Pathfinder crossover, but this really doesn't strike me as roleplaying a character, just doing stupid weird shit for the sake of doing stupid weird shit. That's really the whole reason I'm complaining - he's supposedly a trained wizard, chaotic good and the most intelligent member of the group, but he's instead acting like this. The damn CN rogue is acting more like the voice of reason, and is the only one seriously trying to stay in-period (saying "Hail!" instead of "yo whazzup my niggaz?"). Anyways, now I have to figure out how to get the plot rolling again, because they kind of triggered off a bunch of events without understanding what was going on.

He's the only guy who really knows Warhammer 40K lore, and he DM'd the Black Crusade game that led into this Pathfinder game. While I was re-introducing my character (Paladin of Khorne), I was keeping things subtle. The only hints that it was me was a) I described him as "somehow, you've seen him before", and b) he said "this plague business smells of Nurgle's work". Somehow all the players missed the 40K reference that immediately flags him as someone from the other universe. The other two I can understand (they know barely anything of Warhammer, and since I'm heavily homebrewing the Pathfinder setting they probably just figured it as something I made up), but somehow a guy who has a Necron army and GM'd a 40K RPG missed a reference to a Chaos God. And even when I repeated it, all he got was "Nurgle is involved" not "this guy is from the last game" until another player figured it out. [editline]14th November 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=RearAdmiral;42867471]Fucking hell. This guy sounds like such an insufferable dickhead to play with.[/QUOTE] Really, he's not *that* bad - those were three events (plus a few more lesser ones) from a three-hour session, and the other players did some dumb shit too, but at least they openly accept that they're doing dumb shit. I think it was mainly just today's game. He wasn't that bad in the last two - for his quirk, he just smoked some "elf-weed" and drank. Also, he's not chaotic good anymore - after that, I forced him to change it to just chaotic. I can't really be a stickler for alignments ("lawful good" and "worshipper of Khorne" don't mesh that well), but I can at least do that. I do prefer having people change their listed alignment rather than bar them from doing stuff that's "against their alignment", but unfortunately that has fewer consequences. I'll just have to come up with something.
Just a heads up, you accidentally said he was lawful good at one point during the story.
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;42867610]Just a heads up, you accidentally said he was lawful good at one point during the story.[/QUOTE] Thanks, fixed.
I was thinking that it'd be crazy if he went straight from lawful to chaotic, but then again, he's an unusual circumstance...
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;42867729]I was thinking that it'd be crazy if he went straight from lawful to chaotic, but then again, he's an unusual circumstance...[/QUOTE] Yeah, somehow out of eight players spread over two games, not a single one picked anything except Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral. In both games I rolled up a paladin to provide a balance of Lawful Good to the party (and for the second group, to eventually provide some healing when needed). Although I am trying to give the two distinct flavors of lawful good. One is more pragmatic ("Sometimes the laws must be ignored in order to serve true justice"), while the other is more honorable ("You have fifteen seconds to lay down your arms and surrender", then standing there for a fifteen seconds while the entire enemy army fired arrows at him before himself attacking). Both, however, are loud, obsessed with JUSTIIIIICE and tend to use violence as the first, rather than last, resort. I'm totally fine with that.
Why does everyone follow this whole Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil type stuff? I never played DnD so unless it is apart of the character creation then I don't get why everyone does it.
