Hey, the bitches attack me, I didn't start anything.
Although it's awkward to be the one guy in a party that's not playing a super special snowflake or very two dimensional anime stock character.
I've found Shadowrun is particularly bad for those kinds of players, there's been three games I've bailed on because I'm the only person playing a remotely down to earth character in a special snowstorm of angst, troubled pasts and the prettiest and most skilled people in the room.
[QUOTE=elowin;43593410]you dont need a sane person you just need someone who will murder them if they're being weaboo twats[/QUOTE]
I'll have you know that I am perfectly sane and nonweaboo enough to GM magical girls.
Just because there was an entire session dedicated to purchasing and eating cake while one party member was separated from the group and being experimented on means nothing.
Besides, they aren't ALL lesbians. The new player who is also a bunnygirl (and actually a real female) claims she doesn't want to lesbian with anyone. So there's that.
Also they've almost been brutally killed multiple times so that has to count for something?

But in magical girls, angst is part of the plot!
This is why you don't play cross-gender.

Playing characters of a different gender from you is fine as long as you're playing a character and not the gender.

Sucks you don't live where I live, otherwise I'd invite you to the Shadowrun game I run on Saturdays. I can't exactly describe the group as "down to earth" per se but they are definitely not big on special snowflake syndrome, or "lol so silly and random" shenanigans.
That being said, I'm going to make sure they know what it's like the next time they blow up a McHugh's in the middle of Downtown Seattle in a total information society.

I'm finding I play as both with my Pathfinder Wednesday game. I don't try to downplayer her gender but I don't turn it up several thousand notches either.
What about crossplaying in-universe?

That coming from a guy who was spending hours reading the anarchist cookbook at 2 in the morning and writing crafting recipes for Fallout.
That's hardly sane :v:

Last year I heard some people from the anime club at my college were going to be in a game of D&D. I decided to join myself for a short time since it was about a month before I had to leave for a study abroad trip, so I decided why not, it's only gonna be for a few weeks.
Characters: catfolk played by some twat who likes making random conversations to complete strangers like "what do you think about abortion" or "Sandy Hook was a conspiracy by the government". a Hengeyokai, played by some fucking annoying twat who had the most elitist attitude for video games ever. A half-fiend Nezumi played by a yaoi enthusiast (and she makes everyone know it by conveniently leaving her sketches open for all to see). And me, the sole human, regularly scrutinized for playing as a "dirty, normal, boring human" and not one of the many weaboo shit races in Oriental Adventures.
Played for about one session. The minute the catfolk player described how his cat man sneaks into the daimyo's castle after nightfall, goes to the daimyo's daughter's room, and strips with this gleam in his eyes, I left.
A lot of people at the anime club are cool folks, but holy shit those people were the absolute dregs.

I disagree. Everyone in an anime club has some kind of weird thing about them. Every game I've been in involving the club has been a mishmash of anti-social weirdos and people who take their character way too seriously. To top it off, some of the members actively try to keep out new people, so basically their club has dwindled down to barely anyone after 4 years.

playing as anime lesbians isn't

You played in a game with three "that guys". How... how did you survive with your sanity intact.

The thing about "That Guy" is it refers to the player who is against what the rest of the group is doing.
So therefore, if you're in a group of "that guy"s, YOU are that guy.

That part doesn't really count.
Have you guys ever been in a group with no "that guys"? I'm currently GM'ing that game.
It's beautiful.
It's a wonderful feeling. It's really good to hear that from players as well, "I like this game for two reasons: I like the game, and I like the players." Hard to have one without the other.
i accidentally invited a that guy to our rp and i feel ashamed
[QUOTE=lintz;43595228]i accidentally invited a that guy to our rp and i feel ashamed[/QUOTE]
good job
I accidentally let a kind of that guy join the group back when we were playing pathfinder and now in Exalted he just keeps bitching about how useless he feels but the only things he tries to do either obviously won't work or serve no purpose other than making him feel good.
I want to play a game where the group plays as a group of pirates. But not like, swashbuckling pirates.
[i]Somali[/i] Pirates.
You have to negotiate your way to getting a boat and some shoddy AK's with barely any bullets in them, and then once you're on the boat you have to pray to god that nobody there actually knows how to use a gun. If you manage to actually secure a boat, you have to make sure nobody else robs you for it back in somalia.
Shit would be awesome.
[editline]19th January 2014[/editline]
And if you think about it, a Somali pirate gang would make for an awesome party. You'd have the brute, who uses his strength to subdue people, the stealthy guy who disables their engines and sneaks around, making sure nobody on the ship is plotting behind their back, the sniper who is the best shot and the best at getting rid of the pesky guys who try to take their ship back, and the Face, who uses his negotiation skills to persuade and intimidate people.

Probably GURPS if you wanna be super rulesy, or Savage Worlds if you wanna tweak the base rules.
Second session of L5R went just aswell as the first, though this session was combat-free aside from a duel at the end. Instead, we had some sneaky information-gathering and court dialogue trying to get some information from a province lord in Crane lands. I talked him into believing why we needed this info, and he agreed to give it us if we stopped the Lion raiding party that were bothering the north of his province, and our Lion player suggested diplomacy. So we went to them, and one of our Crane party members basically called the Lion commander a pussy for raiding a small province, who then promptly challenged him to a duel. Said Crane was a courtier and chose our Crab bushi (not the other Crane player) to duel in his place. They exchanged blows for a turn or two until the Crab dropped his sword and grappled him instead. He couldn't break out of the grapple, and was downed after a headbutt and a suplex. As part of the duel conditions the Lions were to withdraw, so job done.
