sadly i'm not able to dm their game because of my current workload. i can get in contact with whoever wants to DM and give them my notes, or if they want, they can start a new campaign altogether.

It's okay man, it's understandable if you're busy. I don't hold no malice toward you...JUST RUINED MY ENTIRE LIFE IS ALL ! :P
if it's 5e, i'm sure if you ask around there will be someone who can help out (5e is IN right now)
(good call on the matthew mercer by the way, i base a shit ton of my DM style on him, and basically do my own voices for every creature purely because matthew mercer does it so well)
So you nerds got me into Cyberpunk 2020 (I love the pre-2000s cyberpunk aesthetic) and found [URL="http://irc.liber-mundi.org/index.php?lng=us"]this[/URL] site that I used to export PDFs organizing weapons by manufacturer.
But when I try to export the militech batch I get an error because [B]one[/B] weapon listing has a missing picture!
I still have more weapons than I can shake a stick at, but it bugs me that I can't get a PDF of militech's arsenal because of one faulty picture link :saddowns:
On todays edition of 'Sib's Electromancer, destroyer of mooks'
Admittedly less impressive than my 60-odd mook AoE attack of death that happened, but this time, we were fighting a small army of battlesuits in a forest. 36 guys in total. Our own battlesuit user wild-weasels over them, drawing literally all of their fire, so giving us time for the transport with the rest of the party to get on the scene.
Two rounds later, I have personally disabled 21 of the suits, mostly thank to my new and improved powersuit (which basically channels the full power of my electrical and magnetic powersets into single abilities, which can be modulated as needed on the fly, such as allowing me to pour an insane amount of accuracy into a multiattack to let me easily hit whole armies) that lets me rain railgun-darts down on literally the whole battlefield without even trying
My favorite thought about this character consistently remains the fact that I'm basically a walking WMD and I love it

ye I fuckin love it but it's old, quirky, dated (well, to the point where it becomes retrofuture) and hardly anyone plays it these days

cyberpunk 2020 was my first outing as a GM
can confirm, I've got a luxurious cyberforest of cyberhair (+2 to Table Lookup skill) on my RealSkinn cyberchest now
So the game I'm planning to play hasn't even started yet and one of the other players has been making loads of jokes about my character calling them edgy and basically trying to take the piss out of them, I wouldn't normally mind but this is almost every comment he makes about my guy, when he got a slight summary of my backstory part of his criticism was that it didn't justify my character being "edgy as all fuck"
When the DM asked what was edgy about my character the only response he gave was "of course a necromancer is going to be called fucking edgy" and that was literally it.
He's the only one in the group who is even slightly bothered by my character.
The DM told me that if he starts doing this ingame he'll be alright with me killing him, so that's something I guess.
Today, on Demon:
[quote]Ms. Diamond follows the girl she saw stealing pens earlier in the day/last session after school ends, and sees her rummaging through their teacher's desk, then talking to him in the office for a few minutes. During their talk, his bag shifts a bit, as if someone looked through it and tried to put it back how it was, but wasn't [I]quite[/I] right. Then Ms. Diamond followed her home.
Mr. Heart heads to his arranged meeting with "MarZPan", the third person that he and Ms. Diamond talked to about being summoned in the same Facility before the game started, and meets her. Ms. Marzipan, as she asks to be called, lets him know she noticed someone rooting around on the message board they used to talk, and seems to be particularly interested in him and Ms. Diamond. Heart calls Diamond and arranges to meet with her the next day.
Smith, aka our last player's character who finally got made, finds the entrance to the parking garage, a matter of days after his Fall. He heads down and hides behind a van as another group of people(a woman in a red dress and a man in a black suit) head out, though he's spotted by the man who radios it in. Smith heads into the elevator, anyways, and takes it to the floor labeled "B". It opens up into the room he, and all the other player characters, were summoned in. He threatens a man named James, who claims to only handle the tech, and gets a bit of information, then puts him into a choke hold and knocks him out(after his attempt to knock him out with a single punch misses). Then he hides behind the chair as the elevator doors open again, and takes out the two guards he step out single-handedly. He pulls two of the three hard drives out of the nearby computer, then takes the elevator back up and leaves. Nobody attempts to stop him.
Heart and Diamond meet up back at Heart's bolthole, and discuss all the info they've uncovered, then start making further plans.[/quote]
I think my favorite part of this was when Smith started threatening James, and Heart's player actually got a little defensive of the minor NPC that hadn't had much purpose until that point.
Not gonna lie, though, I'm a little disappointed that Smith is, for now, killing the card suit theme they had for aliases.
Oh well. :dog:

CE is hella fun to play honestly but a lot of people take it as a lisence to be a cunt with no real reason. Best thing to keep in mind when playing most evil characters is if another person is useful to you, why they're useful, and what would make them help you or further your goals. Same in reverse too, who can fuck you up, what's going to make them not do that? 99% of the time you'll conclude that being a cunt to other players is a terrible idea and being nice to them and enlisting their help for what you want to do is the best course of action, even if you need to watch out for the paladin.

Same with playing a chaotic neutral character. Most people treat them like they're liable to just do whatever at total random when that's not really the case. They're similar chaotic evil characters but they're just a lot more likely to have some actual good points too.

CE characters may be fun to play, but the are completely unreliably and make very, very, VERY poor party members, and any ST worth his salt will stop you from playing one. Unless you're playing a legitimate evil campaign, but then all bets are off.

Not really though. It's usually a bad idea but it can work.
Say for instance, the big bad evil guy wants to destroy the world. CE guy lives in the world too and it's in his best interests that it doesn't suddenly explode, the other party members are his best shot at stopping the even more evil guy's plans, so it's in his best interest to not fuck over the other party members.

It definitely can work, but requires a lot of work between the CE player and the DM, both of whom will need to be relatively experienced. And even then though, it's far too easy for the evil character to encounter an opportunity to exploit the current party, steal the loot, save the world, and be back in time for supper.
Basically mostly what I mean is that a CE character that CAN and DOES successfully work together with a party of others without taking advantage of them at an opportune time is probably better described as NE or LE.
I played a CE Wizard once.
I made a lot of comments about not liking the rest of the group, and kept running ahead to loot corpses before anybody else, then dividing the loot up unevenly in my favor. :dog:
Oddly enough, I was also the most human in the game, since everyone else was some variety of monster with class levels and either neutral or good, and I was playing a Kitsune with the fox-form thing. (At least until Sib joined, since iirc he brought in a human soulknife.)

man I don't even remember anything about that game aside from that I was in it
aside from the hilarious burn to someone about something that was quote unquote, 'crawling with crabs'
I think it only went on for like, two sessions after I joined anyway
[QUOTE=elowin;49885052]you do [i]not[/i] mess with an adventurer's loot

confirming that many things can be forgone but the dividing of loot is sacred unless someone actively forfeits their share
unless it's something you do basically by yourself, with your own money as the start, then it's okay to just keep it yourself. Though the only time that's ever come up in my recollection is when I inevitably do my 'it just prints money!' thing in traveller where I start with like 100k seed money and usually about two or three ingame months later have turned that into a couple million. And usually that's all paying for the ship or just sitting around waiting to be spent on some big-ticket item I couldn't afford otherwise, which I've never gotten around to because the games always seem to end before I get the chance

Yeah, if I remember right, we ended a couple of sessions after you joined, with Trooper's skeleton archer ascending to a higher plane of existence while we were trapped inside a giant rock monster's lower intestines for some reason.
And then everyone was unsurprised when they found out I was CE, but amazed by how much loot I'd managed to keep to myself.

I don't see CE characters too hard to handle for a GM, but I play Shadowrun mostly, players backstabbing each other and selling people out for personal gain is just something that's on the table. I guess it works better in SR since you're always going to have dirt on other PCs by the nature of the game, PCs don't have an expectation of being heroic, and you can't really squeal to the FBI in exchange for a new identify in D&D.

Roleplay the most Jovial and merry bugger there ever was, literally have your skeletons try to play merry tunes using their ribcage xylophones, or click their fingers like castanets. Give them all nice hats because why not?
Keep making terrible jokes about "Literally lifting spirits" or how the dead are "literally rolling over in their graves." Make sure you either wear brightly coloured clothes or standard adventurer gear.
Here's an idea, have your zombies try to perform in some travelling theatre show, give them all masks and costumes and try to make a scene of it, work with a bard for music.
Necromancy is inherently evil in 5e, since all undead are evil. It's dangerous, at the very least, since having undead leave your control means you have just unleashed evil onto the world. That, and nobody likes seeing/smelling rotting corpses wander around town. Necromancers, more than any other kind of wizard, are the type that live way away from normal civilization if they aren't just going to be evil jerks and hole up in a cemetary somewhere.
While it's a fun class, it IS looked on as evil and edgy for a reason, same as a demon summoner would be. You are inherently bringing evil into existance to serve you, and it can slip the leash if you are careless.
It's not evil, it's just misunderstood
[QUOTE=Rents;49886261]It's not evil, it's just misunderstood[/QUOTE]
You can't misunderstand that all undead that a necromancer can make with the spells available are evil. They just are. And if you aren't making undead, might as well be any other kind of wizard!
