[QUOTE=Rats808;49629249]I did not intend to stir up any shit. I intentionally didn't name the GM so people wouldn't be like 'wow man wtf', I kept it as factual as I remembered, and I never said he did it to counter me.(And sorry for constantly forgetting that you were a Fighter, Sib.) It was entirely coincidental that the switch happened right after my guy died, it was just annoying as fuck that I was useless for most of that game because none of my spells did anything to what we were fighting. The divine intervention comment was not intended to be criticism; a shield protected the Fighter from being hurt, which saved us in the long run because otherwise we probably would have lost the fight that came after that one ended.(In which the Fighter did a ridiculous amount of damage to a big enemy I don't remember the name of, while the rest of us mostly just did plink damage.) To be fair, I've only ever seriously thought 2 people had it out for me; one because he legitimately spent an entire campaign berating me, then spent half the session trying to rape me when we played Maid RPG. The other because he was just generally an angry person, I guess, and I tended to bring it out more than others. I didn't leave because I thought everyone had it out for me. I left because I was getting tired of that games I was in with the group, and I was being excluded from all discussion of the other games being set up at the time(I recall one game being set up that I had asked to join, and got a response of 'I'm just trying to keep the group small, this time', followed by the group growing a week later anyways. I vaguely remember people switching chats to talk about a game when I asked about it, too, but I can't remember if I was legitimately interested in that one or not). I ended up finding other people to play with, and left as peacefully as I could; didn't come into the chat to say 'fuck you guys, I'm out', I legitimately just told the GM of the one game I was still in that I was gonna duck out because I'd made other plans for the time the game was going to be, and stopped coming into the chat. Sorry for accidentally stirring up a pot of old shit, here is a dog as a sign of peace. :dog:[/QUOTE] No worries, apology accepted. I know people can't read each others minds and even with it being unnamed I didn't like having an anon reputation of Ka-douche GM. I thought it better to explain my end which is why I quoted Mellow's post and not yours. In other news I have noticed you're in other games/GM'ing and I do hope that's going swell on your end. :happy:

My two favorite nWoD/CofD games, and I'm finally going to get to play/run them. :dogcited: Hope you guys are having fun with whatever games you guys've got going, too.
D&D 5e is the first time I've ever needed to ask the question: [I]What can I do with two gallons of mayonnaise?[/I]
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;49629315]D&D 5e is the first time I've ever needed to ask the question: [I]What can I do with two gallons of mayonnaise?[/I][/QUOTE] Acquire whip/flail. Smother it in mayo. Congratulations, you have acquired the mythical [B]MIRACLE WHIP[/B].
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;49629315]D&D 5e is the first time I've ever needed to ask the question: [I]What can I do with two gallons of mayonnaise?[/I][/QUOTE]I googled that question because I could not think of anything witty and there is a surprising host of problems you can solve with mayonnaise! Everything from treating sunburn to cleaning Crayon marks off of your walls!

Glad to hear games are going good in general!
[QUOTE=Aperture fan;49629281]Playing Pathfinder for the first time. I shank a kobold for 4 damage. 3 kobolds gangbang me to -1 HP. Good game guys. Also out of over of thirty d20 rolls, I rolled more than a 10 on maybe ten of them max.[/QUOTE] Was it a Tucker's Kobolds situation or did they just have the blessings of laser entropy?
I really want to play Jojo Fate irl, but two of my GMs are running long-term 5E games and one knows nothing about Jojo suffering
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;49630363]I really want to play Jojo Fate irl, but two of my GMs are running long-term 5E games and one knows nothing about Jojo suffering[/QUOTE] Bruh, I have at least two solid jojo campaign ideas that I wanted to force on my players but then they were all like 'nah anime is trash' then I cried myself to sleep. I even came up with some bullshit bbeg stands as well as henchmen stands. Some day, some day.

[QUOTE=Rents;49630325]Was it a Tucker's Kobolds situation or did they just have the blessings of laser entropy?[/QUOTE] Laser entropy. And it was more of a curse than a blessing, later in the game my other party member got downed by another group of kobolds after the two of us had managed to kill 4 of the 5 present. Then it was just me and this last kobold, one I had shot in the back with an arrow previously and reduced to half of its health. We spent 10 rounds in a slapfight on top of a roof. Neither of us beat the AC of the other. Then the roof collapsed, we both nailed our reflex saves, and then we spent another 5 rounds inside in a damageless slapfight. The kobold finally managed to hit me twice after that (when I was already wounded, so even a single hit could have killed me) before I managed to hit [I]it[/I] twice and finally kill the little bastard. And I was playing a rogue, so direct confrontations were not my strong suit.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;49627498]alright, i'm gonna record an introduction thing when i get some free time, an introduction to the goblin hotel, and the land it survives within. may call on someone to do their best goblin voice for a bit of the intro [editline]28th January 2016[/editline] don't expect a campaign any time soon though, at the moment i'm busy as shit[/QUOTE] I can do an excellent goblin voice.
so today I discovered that roll20's dynamic lighting can be used to create vision cones for PC's, instead of the all-around brightness function that I'd been using previously and oh man the ability to limit PC vision to cones opens up all sorts of realms of gameplay, especially in for cool horror stuff, that I basically can't use because I'm running a Shadowrun game and opportunities for surprising my party with literally anything are nearly impossible when they've either got 15+ perception die pools or they've got matrix/astral sight and thus basically have wallhacks but man the potential is there even so. Like hell, maybe just even running something like an Aliens one-shot where just people are getting picked off constantly, would be rad as hell
So my Star Wars game became 'It's always sunny on Tatooine' pretty much immediately. I'm going to name the sessions, so far we have: 'The Crew crashes a pleasure palace' 'The Crew runs a hotdog stand' 'T3 starts a diplomatic incident' I'll keep you guys posted as we go.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;49632120]goblin hotel related [media]https://soundcloud.com/cloakra/goblin-hotel-induction-video-1[/media][/QUOTE] That was genuinely hilarious. So pumped for Goblin Hotel now!
So today I was at a friend's house and I heard that while I was downstairs one of my friends tried to attack something in 3.5 repeatedly, and ended up rolling 3s on a d20 for 4 rounds straight. The fourth time he actually threw the die at the wall where it bounced and went under the table. Last I heard he might have been on the verge of quitting that campaign.
I just lost one of my favorite characters because I lit a torch in the sewers. RIP.
[QUOTE=Obvious Shizz;49637729]I just lost one of my favorite characters because I lit a torch in the sewers. RIP.[/QUOTE] Did he explode or did he just suffocate? Seems kind of like a dick move to not give a common sense warning of "Yo you might explode" when it's a pretty common trope in fantasy and stuff to go exploring dark places with torches at the ready.

Our Paladin player is going for the sort of "righteous, chosen champion of my god" sort of approach to role playing but because of the way he plays things out he's starting to come off as more of a religious zealot using his god as an excuse to justify his actions. I'm not complaining, but I'm sort of making note of it so I can have a little fun with it at a later date. If he's doing it intentionally he's a goddamn genius (I'm REALLY doubtful of it though).

A man who thinks he's in the right when he's really just abusing his power.
[QUOTE=TectoImprov;49638443]That actually sounds like a cool character idea. A man who thinks he's in the right when he's really just abusing his power.[/QUOTE] It's a pretty old archetype. You can see it on most older authority figures in just about any piece of media, what I think is so interesting is that our friend is falling into it unintentionally as he pushes more and more to get what he wants. I hope our DM sort of picks up on it and maybe throws some wrenches at him to see how he reacts. Not literally, of course.
Honestly its cooler if he's doing it unintentionally. That way he's -literally- blinded by his zeal
[QUOTE=Obvious Shizz;49637729]I just lost one of my favorite characters because I lit a torch in the sewers. RIP.[/QUOTE] I think it's a little silly when people claim a torch would detonate a sewer like some massive firebomb. If anything it'd just make the torch flare much brighter as it burns the excess methane from the air. Asphyxiation is the real danger here, kids.
