[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;43595737]Probably GURPS if you wanna be super rulesy, or Savage Worlds if you wanna tweak the base rules.[/QUOTE]
you could also do pirate shit like that in Shadowrun
although then there would be magic 'n shit
Is anyone going to be starting a session of anything in EU time? I'd like to join any game.

Probably, but then you'd have super awesome cybertech shit and stuff, this should be gritty as fuck, with the best thing them getting would be like maybe a nice boat.
[QUOTE=cyclocius;43595015]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.[/QUOTE]
I've been in a game where there were 2. The GM and another player. I left that game.

Was he a "step into my magical realm" kind of GM?
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;43596066]Was he a "step into my magical realm" kind of GM?[/QUOTE]
He was the guy who killed my character for following the big bad through a portal. Just like straight up killed, after we finished the fight with the person meant to stop us he went. "Oh by the way you're dead". No warning except that.

how rude
1st session of a lvl 2 campaign:
We talk to a bunch of dwarves and agree to go kill a small dragon that has been stealing gold and such.
We get there, wreck the young dragon because there is seven of us. Continue on towards its cave to get loot. Find CR 13 Adult Blue Dragon sleeping in the cave.
DM must have forgotten about coup de grace, because instead of trying to bypass it, I just walked up and killed it instantly because rogue.
What's a that guy? I have a feeling one of the people I play with is one.
that guy is the person who plays outlandishly, crazily and generally unhelpfully to the party.
Oh never mind, then. I have the opposite of a that guy. He had such little interest, he stopped in the middle of the BBEG fight to read stuff about pokemon on his phone :v:

That's a that guy.
That guy is the guy who doesn't cooperate with the rest of the party. Either he does nothing, like yours, tries to go off and do his own thing alone, or tries to do the exact opposite of what the party is doing just to be a shithead.
Fuck it, I'm gonna make a Somali Pirate RPG. I'm thinking about having a stat system similar to Warhammer RP, I think that works best.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;43594860]Have you guys ever been in a group with no "that guys"? I'm currently GM'ing that game.
It's beautiful.[/QUOTE]
I only ever GM with my small group of friends, so I nearly never run into that issue except for at school or when my friend runs large LARPs.
[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;43595507]I want to play a game where the group plays as a group of pirates. But not like, swashbuckling pirates.
[i]Somali[/i] Pirates.

Just hope you don't run into Tom Hanks. Or Bruce Willis.

Tom Hanks will be the big bad of the entire somali pirate team. Not Captain Phillips, Tom Hanks.
O.K. On the topic of my main group (many of which are now playing magical girls):
Appy is running magical girls and played as a hard rocker in Cyberpunk who stood by and watched in *every fight*
MeltingData suggested my character was going to fuck his adopted daughter
Wing almost cut off the head of some dude with a switchblade
Ciaster is reading the Anarchist's Cookbook as we speak (and got it from Melting)
And Ryan is, well, Ryan
It's gotten to the point where not only am I the straight man, all of my CHARACTERS are the straight men and end up being the focus of the plot because everyone else is batshit nuts :V

What the fuck are you on
Did you miss the countless times I oneshot enemies with my ridiculous pistol skills
or when I taped together HE, flash, incendiary and smoke grenades and threw the bundle.
Entropy killed a lot of people. Brynes was just a lame generic copdude.
Don't go dissin' Entropy. He was cool.

[QUOTE=elowin;43595697]could be pretty cool

Haha, Apoc world would fit it. Like all of that is super do-able.
This discussion leaves me wondering if I end up being "that guy" on accident... :tinfoil:

But always be mindful of how much you're using, half a dozen 40mm HE grenades is over-zealous for breaching a wall.

The purest definition of "That Guy" is someone who is a part of the group and who derives fun from acts that no one else finds fun. They're generally disruptive and awkward but it depends entirely on the party dynamic. That's why you'll receive a whole bunch of different definitions from different people, it's purely subjective.
A group made up entirely of what you'd refer to as "That guy"s doesn't have "that guy" in because they're all doing stuff that they enjoy and everyone is having a good time.
To add onto this, a GM that often finds themselves at odds with their players, is unpopular and gets into an antagonistic relationship with their players is often referred to as "That GM". Note this doesn't apply if the players WANT an antagonistic GM.

I'm only being verbose because the term gets thrown around a lot inappropriately, like "Mary Sue".

Yeah, sometime's a "That guy" could be the most normal guy of the campaign, its just everyone else is being a fuckwit. Same with "that GM". Sometimes a GM will be trying to run a serious game but the players don't give a fuck and so his views are tossed out the window.
[editline]19th January 2014[/editline]
Also, some people misinterperet Mary Sue. A Mary Sue is basically a character with no/minimal flaws or nothing special about themselves but can do everything right.
Like an "ace" but with zero personality.
