>lolitrolu

pffft. i game with deuchbags. none of us ever have sad moments because they fuck them up and think they are lame.

>>6672055
You SAY that, but that dog is going to be food once winter gets cold enough.

I lost my friend in a car crash

>>6672104
You act like that dog's not just a way for the guy to get more attention and money.

Fuck, I've done it myself, Fuck being homeless.

can we get some wasteland warrior in here?

haven't seen him in while

>>6672160
No, spit his cock out of your mouth and shut up.

hope youre happy, ive summoned him

The guy's pretty clean cut, washed and skinny to be a bum. Come back when you've bloated up from too much poor food, haven't shaved in a week, and have been wearing your clothes for about three weeks in a row and we'll talk homeless.

>>6672160

I had a character get addicted to heroin and ended up selling out his friends in order to get more. When the rest of the party confronted him about it and went on a long tear about how he was destroying himself and how they were going to help him he decided to give his Beretta a blow job right in front of them.

>>6671995
oh hi there will smith

One of the guys in our party, picked up a pretty, but stoic elf cohort who didn't talk to anybody, and coaxed her out of her shell into being open with our little group. Turns out she had been living in the forest for a hundred and fifty years after her son was killed by goblins, and spent most of her time hunting them. So much so that she forgot her own language, and could only speak goblinoid. We started to help her re-adjust into normal life (as normal as it gets for adventurers) and the one who picked her up was obviously intending to romance the gal. We go through a year or two of wandering around and kicking ass, the guy makes his move, and we end up with a mushy couple in the crew that makes everyone simultaneously Daww and feel sick. Still, it lent a lot of flavor to the party, and we all got a kick out of the stories the DM would tell through her, all of them were *horrifying*, it was like listening to Jason talk about all the kids he's killed, except the kids were small and green, and the story is told like a no soap radio joke. After a while, she started regretting how callous she had been to the little bastards, and comes to terms with her past. Real touching story...

>>6672195
QFE.

This is probably some sort of artsy photo. But actual homeless people do this shit all the time.

Also, I know plenty of skinny as fuck bums around here as well, But yeah, he's obviously too clean and unscraggly.

Hey, does anyone have the link to the archived thread in which someone was talking about one of their players roleplaying a crush on another PC by quietly emoting? It was pretty good - I've been looking for ages but I can't find it.

>>6672207

whoops, forgot to namefag it up. But that was the saddest in character thing I ever did.

>>6672230
Most skinny bums I've met are either addicts (which tends to bring it's own host of fairly visible problems), insane, or else annoying fucks who actually have a home and family and shit, but try to play the sympathy card for some extra pocket money, because their allowance isn't big enough.

>>6672223
...So then we head out on what's supposed to be our retirement job. As we're traveling through a pass to get to the next adventure hook, we get ambushed by orcs on the surrounding cliffs, who pin us down with throw rocks and arrows, and basically cut us to ribbons. We beat them off and fried most of them, but why don't you guess who the only casualty of war is, the day before happily ever after?
Yeah, the guy. Elf girl goes shellshocked on us, and sort of goes catatonic, so we build camp around her and try to wait for her to recover.

Next morning, she's gone. We didn't try to look for her. We all felt terrible, which I think was pretty damn appropriate, and buried our fallen comrade there. This was a 1-10 game of 3.5, there was no resurrection magic, no real way out of this. We divided up the loot as before, but kept the guy's share in a vault just in case the elf ever came back, we figured she ought to get it.
She never did, because we never saw her again. The campaign ended, and our legend was written into the setting's history. Came back to haunt us later, too, but that's another story.

>>6672270
...another story that you'll tell right hell now because I'm hooked and probably not the only one.

>>6672104
Probably not, no. Homeless people do not exactly have access to kitchens with which to roast a dog.

>>6672234

I want to read this also

>>6672309
god tier troll if he just made that story up and then went to bed.

>>6672244
wow that was kinda... short for you... got any more?

>>6672282
Alright. It's not really a sad one though, which is why I didn't feel it was appropriate. We played a few campaigns in between then, I think a Riddle of Steel one, and then a WoD that I wasn't present for, but eventually we came back to the same DM, and the same setting. We all roll up some characters, and set about adventuring. As we found out after a while, we had all been weaned on tales of our old characters' heroism, they were the big damn heroes a hundred years ago, which was cool. We go off adventuring, and soon we make our own legends, and get in thick in an investigation regarding a cult of the God of Silence, a murder cult who worship some Demigod.

It is only in the very final stages of the campaign that we realize just what the cult had been worshipping. We ended up in that same mountain pass, this time hiking over the cliffs to find an orc village. The whole place is desolate, littered with bones and ancient corpses, but in the center of it is the alter to the cult's demigod, and a statue of an female elf with menacing, predatory features. We learn from a cultist we catch that the orcs were stalked and hunted by a murderer, who only targeted families, and only killed half of them. Such was her malice that she would hunt them nearly into extinction, let them reproduce, and then do it again. Finally, she vanished, some say ascended into the arms of the Silent God, but her legacy lived on as the orcs continued their ritualized prayers for her mercy, which involved naming orcs from other tribes for her predations. If she was given a target, she would leave them alone, if she was not placated, she would take her pick. We killed the cultist, and destroyed the altar, and went on with the campaign. But I'll be damned if I ever accuse the DM of leaving loose ends again.

>>6672234
This one?

>>6672367
And this is why Sithis happens.

>>6672367
So, elf learns to love again after losing one set of loved ones, has it wrenched straight out of her hands, and then becomes a serial killer so awesome she gets adopted by a god?
Metal.

>>6672402
I think I got something in my eye.

>>6672450
It is sorrowful. Gotta be a... Damn awkward after-battle.

>>6672450

Yeah, I'm not crying either, just cut some onions.

Wow, when I read your stories I realize I could never do this with my group. When a NPC comes towards them it's always I KILL HIM LOL.
Still fun to bash monsters, but I can't really develop the NPCs background since if I don't make them invincible they're dead.

>>6672474

The best my group can do is catastrophic failures from kidnappings and the like. Like kidnapping an army colonel and then crashing the truck he was bound and gagged in into a pond in a park so that he drowns.

>>6672474
You... you're the DM?

PUNISH YOUR FUCKING GROUP

>>6672486
Love that gif

>>6672223
>>6672270
>>6672367
Dude... Holy balls.

>>6672502
Well I can't punish them at each game. They want monster bashing, I give monster bashing.

>>6672474

Do the reverse. Give them no-one. At all. All villages abandoned, inns boarded up, no random travelers. No-one to receive quests or direction from. Get them starved for DMPC interaction.

Then give them a little girl.

And kill it.

>>6672474
I'm worried that the painstakingly constructed political and religious climate in the campaign setting I'm currently constructing will all go to waste when the other guys in my group tell me to just give them a fucking dungeon to go through. That they won't care about my little bits of scenery (small bands of gnolls cutting down crosses that rebels have been crucified on because food is so scarce, etc.) or my various NPCs.

I hope I'm wrong, and I also hope we can get some more people in our group, hopefully ones who are there more for the roleplay than anything else.

>>6672515
That's a pretty good idea. I'll try it, but I know the CE half-orc barbarian will see her and shout : "I EAT HER" like always.

>>6672349

Yeah, I was trying to multi task.

It was a paranormal investigation game and my character started out as a detective investigating some disappearances. The rest of the party took a lot of occult skills and esoteric shit, but I wanted to play a john everyman. As time went on we started seeing more and more shit go down, and I kept rolling really poorly on my san checks. My character developed a serious gambling addiction because he started to feel that his life could end at any moment so he may as well live in the moment. He became indebted to a mob boss who threatened his wife and kids, so he became a bent cop to protect his family. As time went on his fortunes changed thanks to the party's help and he got out of debt and had plenty of money to spare. The party got caught in a firefight with some cultists and one of them was able to tie my character to the shoot out. There wasn't enough evidence to prove I was there, but the investigation showed that I had mob ties, so I was dismissed from the force. My wife left me because of it and took the kids with her. The Party helped me get by for a little while, and a month later encountered a vampire feeding on my wife. It had turned my son and daughter into spawns and killed my wife. My character botched his san roll and lost it, until he found heroin. He started shooting up before bed to stop the nightmares, but they got worse and worse. He ended up being muscle for the mob in exchange for more heroin, and spiraled out of control. The mob boss was working for a vampire that wanted to ambush the party. I sold them out for heroin (rolled shitty to resist) and the party nearly bought the farm.

>>6672541
When they were safe they snooped around and found out that I did it they went back to my apartment. They staged an intervention and told me that they were going to get me help, and that I could fight through this and strike back at the creatures that did this to me. My character was so fucked up from all the san damage and the drugs that he decided to take the easy way out. He pulled out his handgun and put it in his mouth. Two of the party members tried to stop me, but they were too slow and I put a bullet in my brain. There was a good minute of silence before one of them just said "fuck...."

>>6672533
Yeah, that's my problem too. If I talk for too long, or if they have to investigate before the dungeon they begin to stomp on the table and say : FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

>>6672534
See, here's your problem. You're allowing people to play CE characters when they think "chaotic" means "retarded" and "evil" means "LOLOLOL KILL ORPHANS FOR FUN."

>>6672402
Damn, that's good. But no, that's not it.

The one I'm thinking of is about this player who's character didn't speak up much - he was rather quiet, IIRC. There was a female PC that he had a thing for, but no-one knew. The only reason the poster picked up on it was that he noticed that he was in character as other people were talking - he'd look jealous when she flirted with an NPC, and smile longingly at her when she spoke, that sort of thing.

Then when the female PC is going on about her latest failed relationship with an NPC, the poster goes off at her about how she's never noticed the one guy who really cares for her and has always been there for her, and points to the quiet guy, who has tears in his eyes. Everyone's sort of stunned, and they guy just goes "I get up and leave."

Or something like that - they told it much better than me.

>>6672547
Well, my problem is that one of the guys is all about getting loot and just a little bit of roleplay, but he's too mild-mannered to really get into it. My friend who joins us is kinda self-conscious but somehow he always manages to bite himself in the ass with his characters (he had a custom-race geckoman shaman that he got bored with, and then he decided to make a goliath barbarian who hates magic in a very high-magic setting when the rest of the party is all magic users), and the usual DM really likes to be in charge since he pretty much dominated the sessions where we played guy number one's Faerun campaign. There's also the usual DM's 12 year old daughter who plays LOLSORANDOM characters but is fairly tolerable. I find myself wondering how she'll do in my campaign, and I hope she'll gain a sudden interest in girly things at the exact instant that we get two new players who aren't douchebags and are good roleplayers. This is my dearest wish for my D&D group.

>>6672541
>>6672545
Metal. How'd... Damn dude. This is why you don't do drugs kids!

>>6672575
>LOLSORANDOM characters

Oh god I hate this. My players always take random names because it's "cool".

This is their party :

- Gorban Mitchovsky the human rogue
- Gork Bork the half-orc barbarian
- Longcat the halfling bard
- Mr. T, he plays Mr T.

We get one more decent storytime, I'm archiving this myself.

>>6672644
>- Mr. T, he plays Mr T.

This could actually be amusing if it weren't for everyone else being just as goofy. You need some straight men.

>>6672547
I get this to with the DH group I GM for back home. There was a recent drama-storm however, so I dont even know if I'll have that to go back to :( it any of'em can still stand each other I may just try ta move it over to Rouge Trader (a thousand thanks to the anon who uploded it to RS) since thats more on the power level they want anyways.

>>6672514
make the guards fucking kill them

>>6672644
In our new campaign (grognard DM can't keep up with all the tactical bullshit in 4e, citing his horrible, constant migraines as the main factor) I play a Rastafarian dwarf named Skallagrim (old Viking name, I tried pronouncing it with a bad Jamaican accent and I thought it fit. Shortened to Skall.) My friend named his crazy gnome artificer (who rides his stinky fishbone construct around master-blaster style) Skuuts, I don't know why. But the other guy who is usually pretty straightforward is playing an awakened cat warlock who forgoes a pact boon to have a human caretaker whose primary out-of-combat job is to tell him what a pretty kitty-cat he is. Bart is the caretaker's name. But for some reason he chose a very hard-to-remember name for his cat. I think it was Elephenor, since it was a Greek name, but even that is too easy to remember. I don't remember what the DM's daughter chose but I also don't care.

So it's not as bad as your group, but still, there's picking an interesting name and then there's being needlessly esoteric.

> awakened cat warlock who forgoes a pact boon to have a human caretaker whose primary out-of-combat job is to tell him what a pretty kitty-cat he is

Mother fucker. If only all 4e players were like this.

>>6672402

;_;

BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW

>>6672649

I dicked over a player who wanted to be a frenzied barbarian. I don't know if it's depressing or hilarious though.

So this guy decided that he wants to be a frenzied barbarian. His character had a wife and kids back at his village where the party was staying. The party split up to defend different parts of the village and he decided to watch the south entrance alone, because his family lived nearbye and he was boasting about how he could kill the entire horde by himself. He goes into the frenzy and he starts running roughshod through the enemy. I tell him it looks like some of the bandits got behind him. He runs back and I tell him it looks like the bandits are surrendering. He attacks and gleefully describes how he's ripping them apart, not suspicious at the least that the bandits seem to be pleading with him. I let him make spot checks and shit, but he rolls crap. Finally the rage subsides and he comes to. He's standing on top of a pile of mutilated villagers, one of which is the still living top half of his wife who is desperately trying to crawl away from him. She died screaming at him while trying to fight them off as he tried to apologize, tears streaming from his eyes as he attempted feebly to hold her one last time.

>>6672717
Ha! Owned.

>>6672710
Yeah, I like George, he's a cool guy (especially for a statistician).

I just wish all of us could get a bit more into it. I'm brushing up on Jamaican Patois enough to fake it when I speak in-character but I sort of feel like an idiot when I'm the only one going to such lengths.

I miss the guy who we kicked out for never fucking showing up. He was into theater so he was a damn good roleplayer.

>>6672402
THIS IS WHY I ROLEPLAY. ;_____;

>>6672717
>I dicked over a player who wanted to be a frenzied barbarian.
>I don't know if it's depressing or hilarious though.
It's shit. No wonder your only hobbies left are "drink" and "lie to 4chan so they'll suck your dick some more".

I rolled a badass. Problem was, he had no motivation and his backstory was a 12 page tale of "everybody died, but it wasn't anybody's fault really so I'm just wandering around the country looking for something to do until I die" in a group of epic drama backstories.

Adventure ended. Everybody had a resolution. Our bard got revenge, the pally retired from adventuring to be a local cleric, the sorcerer became a wizard/bard/sorcerer who wandered the country side helping people.

But my character got no resolution. My DM didn't do anything with him, just gave him short term reasons to accomplish everyone else's goals. In the end, he just went back to wandering...I brought him back for an epic campaign later on, and the DM introduced a bastard daughter he had during a drunken night at an inn in the first adventure. But since that took away his motivation to fight RP-wise the DM chose to make my character fall ill with a very deadly and contagious disease. The PCs stood by and guarded me to see if I'd pull through, but everyone neglected to remember the daughter but the DM. So once my fever broke (I had recieved a vision from one of the other PC's ancestors I was supposed to relate to them) I told the stroy and went to RP and call the daughter.

Long story short, she was stricken by grief needed to get away to calm ehrself down and nobody noticed her leave. She froze to death trying to find the entrance back into the cave so the PCs found her within a minute of leaving to search for her. Wolves had partially eaten the body (it had been a few days by the point his fever broke and he called for her). Quests ended, everyone ascended to god status or whatever. My character rejected it all and ditched all his epic gear for ordinary clothes and kept wandering the frozen north lands dwelling on what he had lost and what he might have had.

I really hate my DM.

It bugs to to think that story-wise he's still out there (we have ongoing plots that resurface form our last adventures in our campaigns-so shit the PCs did from last adventure will be referred to 3 campaigns form now by the DM) wandering without any real reason. Just...hoping for something to give him a reason to live, but having noothing so he jsut keeps walking...hunting when he's hungry, buying supplies when he's out, but just walking until he is killed or starves or freezes to death himself...my DM made a joke once about us finding his frozen corpse and finding the quest item we were looking for on it. My group asked him to change it to a dead paladin, and he agreed not to bring it back up again.

One of these days I'll go back and make him evil or something for a resolution but...I dunno. I guess I want to find closure for this character...stupid as it sounds.

>>6672766
Someone's feeling alone and unloved. Oh hey, it's you.

What does /tg/ think I should do for him now?

>>6672794

That's actually an amazing story. I completely understand you wanting closure. I sure as hell would.

>>6672810
>White Knights of Wasteland AWAY!

>>6672817
>>FORWARD, BROTHERS! WE WILL VANQUISH THE BUTTHURT TROLL!

>>6672813
Have him start up an orphanage for all those children that are lost and have no one to call their own. Dedicate the rest of his life to making families.

That'll do.

>>6672825
>>6672817
Shut up, faggots.

>>6672813
Epic unsung death. Just him and the Biggest Bad. Both die in the battle. As he dies alone and cold, with no mortal that remembers him he is satisfied because he died under his own terms, not for glory, or vengence. But because it was the right thing to do.

And just as he passes his soul is seized and brought among the souls of all of his loved ones who have gathered together just to wait for him.

>>6672783
>>6672794
I don't understand you're complaint. You decided to have a character that rejects conclusion in favor of drifting and you complain about the DM for some reason?

>>6672836

Sounds a little like that samurai anime, with the red haired/clothed dude but it makes sense I guess. Problem is, this dude was like a straight out of the clan viking. Started chaotic neutral, became chaotic good, ended true neutral by the end of the second campaign. Like samurai meets fur trapper meets chaotic evil barbarian.

Not sure how to make the jump from where he is now to living an urban life as a headmaster of an orphanage. Or how to work that into a full "continue where he left off" (going back inexplicably to 5th level I guess) campaign (I should have stuck with clerics and rogues, veterans and warriors always seem to get sad stories in my campaigns-a result of my Vietnam Vet father I guess)

>>6672859
>>6672836

Maybe a little of both of these. Starts an orphanage, but eventually dies in combat protecting it from something. He lives on not in song or poetry, but in the memories of the children he raised and gave his last breath for.

alright, we have been playing for months through the 2nd ed campain "The Four From Cormyr" translated to 3.5 on the fly, we get through it and there is a ten year gap and then we go into the next adventure path that will take us from level 16 to 25ish. The dm gives us a week to come up with what we are all doing during the ten year gap. I am the mage and i go back to halruaa and take a wife, start a family and a political career and take on an apprentice (and a mistress but that is neither here nor there), the bard (with an arcane bent) and i work feverishly to unlock the secrets of half a dozen artifacts, and he goes to find out about his draconic ancestors, meeting his great great great etc. grandmother, a song dragon. the half celestial dervish meets a princess and they run away together and have babies, lots of them. The dm takes time with each of us and we really get into the lives we are building for our characters. By now you may have noticed that we all started families right? well that is important later.

Anywho the mod he was running next is called Apocalypse Stone and hinges on the pcs being tricked into breaking the tethers that hold the planes together, ending the world and then having to save the multiverse. In the course of the planes being seperated and all conjurative magic no longer working, an archdevil, Moloch gets trapped on the material plane, realizes it was us who trapped him there inadvertantly and takes it personally. We are blissfully ignorant that any of that happened though and we traipse gleefully through the world unaware that we have done any of this. untill we are assaulted by three rather unique flesh golems

, made all of weeping faces and twisted limbs. The mangled corpses in these horrific creations are instantly recognizable, a wife, a mother, a princess, a song dragon grandmother, our children, all of them. Each moaning and wailing in pain, bereft of life but some how still concious and begging us not to kill them, even as their broken limbs reach out to tear us apart. We cut them down, some of the players hiding tears by staring down at their character sheets...after the fight it was quiet for a long time...we couldnt even resurrect our loved ones despite our power because we had broken the planes apart and the souls of the dead were beyond our reach. We buried the abominations and went after moloch.

>>6672766
WW has never tried to hide that he drinks. So saying that he does isn't an insult.

As for the "lies to 4chan" I don't believe his storys are real, but they kick ass all the same. and WE are the ones that usually ask for them. Thats the way its always been. (cept with that last get)

>>6672859
>>6672879

That'll work. I'll volunteer to DM my next campaign, and bring this guy in as an NPC with info as the founder of an orphanage in a small pioneer community. Then have a course of events where he had to work as the muscle for the (how about a ghost who's "unfinished business" is destroying a nearby town, so he'd literally have to be the muscle) big bad or else the whole village gets wasted and he's sick of seeing everything he loves die.

Then they kill him, they get XPs, big bad resurrects him as an undead servant and he finds out the village was never really in danger and he committed these atrocities because he (rolled 1 on a sense motive, lol) was conned in. He destroys himself, let's say via the "press for self-destruct" scenario before the PCs even arrive at the big bad's stronghold. Then, they find out the big bad's plan was something big (I dunno, bomb being dropped into a volcano or something, plague, starting a war something along those lines) and the whole end of the campaign is the PCs racing the clock to stop the calamity even though the big bad is already dead and his forces scattered.

How is that?

>>6672917
delicious railroading

>>6672879
>>6672917

If ever those kids in the orphanage your character protected grows up, you can roleplay them too as adventurers in their own right, drawing strength and resolve from their protector!

>>6672880
>>6672884
>>6672892

Fuck man...I don't even know what to say about that.

Just...fuck man...

>>6672917

If you're fine with that ending for your character, then go for it. Personally, I'd prefer something like some NPCs you talk to make references to a man who gave his life to raise and defend them. You could give him an ending befitting his backstory and personality, but not throwing the spotlight on him and making him LOL BADGUY.

I dunno. That's my feeling, but he's your character, and you know where you want to take him.

>>6672917
Good. But I'm thinking less press the self destruct senario and more you distracting the big bad at a crucial moment to stop him from interfering with the PC's derailing his plan.

The PC's of course don't know that you are responsible for their sucess and neither does anyone else. Just you and the BBEG.

>>6672938

I could deify that character in our campaigns as a protector of children and the weak or something. He was already epic and passed up the chance to become a god.

Neutral good, domains protection and healing?
Seeing as he became undead but retained his will I could make him undead neutral (but good evil scale applies as usual) for our more undead-PC heavy campaigns.

>>6672813
I see your character as a wanderer. He had no real purpose at the start of your campaign, he has no purpose at the end.
Use that. Spread hints of his travels everywhere. I can see him helping out some wet behind the ear adventurers get started (not your PC’s), and having the conversation in a bar revolve around this awesome old guy they met. Don’t be too specific yet. With the money a high level character accrues, he could easily have founded an entire town, not just an orphanage. Have the PC’s wander through a frontier town that has a small dedication to the founder. Or better yet, a frontier town that got decimated, and in the middle of the town square is the remnants of a statue with the dedication on it. Have your old character be pivotal in other people’s lives. Funded a couple taverns, helped a blacksmith out. Bard’s tell stories of him in various towns. Don’t portray him as some OP’ed guy who sweeps in to save the day, but a quiet unassuming guy who got the job done and walked out without payment. Eventually, send the PC’s back near that cave. One night out camping, an older man shows up at their campsite, asking if he could share a meal. Over his shoulder is slung a dead edible animal. By this time, your PC’s should know who he is. Have him mention that he always come up into this area once a year. After the meal and some talking, he invites them to come by a place he has in some town when they have the chance. Then, he wanders back off. When the PC’s finish whatever job they were doing, have them go to his house for a visit. He isn’t home. Ask around town. The townspeople say he left about 3 weeks ago on some business. Uncharacteristically, he was wearing armor again…

>>6672944
>>6672971

I figured I'd give them one fight with a badass reluctant to kill any of them (aside form the warriors, warrior death and ll that) and then have him sacrifice himself. I just can't really imagine a scenario where he lives and gets an ending at this point. Also, he's actually become important to my group (like I said, it wasn't me who asked the DM to change the corpse it was them. They just thought it was in really bad taste since he kinda was the heart of two different groups of their characters).


Also, do you have a whole folder of Aku stuff or are you screencapping it as needed? Becuase that's awfully well posed images.

>>6673049
I like this a lot.

>>6673049

I like it, but it sounds a little like Drizzt (we play Faerun, so of course they are ALWAYS looking for big names to appear. So they might notice the similarity too). But otherwise I LOVE the idea. They all liked his character, so perhaps that would work best as a local legend like Davey Crocket or Sir Francis Drake or Robin Hood (so to speak).

>>6673047
That is amazing.

If it is to Drizztish, make him more involved in community stuff. Found a chain of taverns designed for mercenaries and the like, so that he can still get gossip about anything interesting going. Hell, have him take up sculpting in his free time. And the scultpures are all of a certain girl. Have a BBEG have a large bust(HEH) in his fortress with you're character's name carved on the bottom.

GAH! MY EYES!

You could always just go with the "specter" approach. He has no real presence in the world, appearing and vanishing as he's needed. I dunno; the way you've described this character gives me the feeling that he should either continue his wanderings, or depart this world on his own terms, with no regrets in his heart. [spoiler];-;[/spoiler]

And a little of both, actually, thank you for noticing. I picked up a few on /v/ to start up my collection, and I recently downloaded all four seasons of Samurai Jack. I screencap reaction image-worthy scenes as they come along. I'm not trying to be an avatarfag or anything; Aku is just a fucking goldmine.

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to the end of our current campaign now (characters start atop an impossibly tall 88+ floor tower filled with critters, all with amnesia so we basically get points awarded by the DM to "purchase" backstories as we go on so by the bottom when we leave the tower we have characters to play in epics later on) so I can do this.

Thanks all! Once again /tg/ has proven to be made of awesome and other non-fail materials.

...Fuck. You guys don't use spoilers over here, it seems.

GM is actually good at getting players attached to certain things in the campaign. But the Paladin in our group had a stay-at-home wife, and the party used his private estate on more than one occasion to rest, and wait until shit cooled down. Needless to say, the whole party liked this woman.

So while the Party's out cult-hunting, we discover her eviscerated body hanging from a ceiling, over some kind of summoning circle, guts hanging out, woman dead.

After the Paladin freaks out and kills the cultists to the last - even interrupting the BBEG's monologue with a charging smite - the Paladin sold his estate, and used the money to become a couples' councillor. Specifically, he dealt with couples separated by warfare.

My Fighter? Became the king's champion, for the things he did that day.

Yeah, something addicting about good avatar shots. Aku really did have some nice expressions too. His face was fluid enough for it, had enough movements.

Also taht was the problem before-I couldn't think of a way to give him inner peace in a believable way. But perhaps the idea of him wandering long enough that he grows to love the people of an area (he was living in a place just off the map that was only recently being settled for mining reasons) as his children. The idea that maybe his lifespan may have been drastically increased due to having absorbed some divine power which will allow him to travel for a long time, make him seem old and legendary even to elves appeals greatly to me (all just tall tales and speculation to the PCs, of course:)

Only media boards get spoilers. A shame really.

an old Loli(she kept herself young like a little girl by accident because an hormonal problem caused by a necrotic cyst) necromancer npc with 350 years:
"i didn't want to be like this, i just..." crying while trying to confess to one of the players, an immature sexy half-fey/dragon (cha 32) with a flaw that make girls fall dangerously in love with him.

Please continue...

Well, you said he passed up a chance at godhood, right? You could explain his longevity by saying that while he never became a God, he still retains the divine spark that makes someone into one.

Also, you mentioned something about his party members--one or more of them became Gods, right? His longevity could also be explained by a blessing from one of his now divine compatriots, who hopes that he someday finds peace.

Your character is lighting some creative fires over here, man, damn.

>>6673216
Fuck, I had something similar to that happen too. That's why I never play lady killers anymore, because my character ALWAYS RUINS SOMEONES LIFE. The saddest time I could think of was this pregnant mother with kids left her family and started following me across the kingdom.

"Lady, go fucking home!"

"My love, your words wound me. Is it because I am with child?"

"YOU HAVE A FAMILY YOU CRAZY CUNT, GO BACK TO THEM!"

She ended up crying and running away eventually and got torn apart by some monsters.

My DM is a sick bastard.

>>6673248

That sounds like it would go good with the whole his character being around to help the other characters with their goals. The god guys could've given him long life until he finds whatever the heck he's looking for.

Stupid sexy half-fey...

Stupid sexy home wrecker...

I'll tell my story for my friend since he facepalms at my roleplaying.

We were playing a homebrew game based on the Aliens universe. (Keep in mind that this is the first campaign and no aliens). We were mercs for hire: Getting shit done for big companies that didn't want their names attached. We get our first mission to steal some plans for a combat robot on some planet. We get inside just in time to see a test run of the robot weapon. It turns out it's the equivalent of an ED-204 (remember Robocop?). Anyway, we make our way in...

>>6673316
I'm an "Arnold" character, I actually got perks if I quoted lines from his movies that were relavent. Anyway, we get the notion of, "hey! Let's get the plans AND the robot!" so we split off. 2 guys to create a diversion and 2 to hotwire the controls and move product.

The 2 go off and set off alarms and such while we make our way in. I knock out a few guards with our Hacker en tow. We make it to the control room with all the R & D guys. To which shit goes south.
"You guys hafta get outta here!"
"Why?"
"Don't you hear the alarms? This isn't a drill!"
"...Who the hell are you?"
This is were I panic. My LOLBESTRPGUYEVER says NOTHING. I say nothing. My DM plays his games in real time. No OOC time for us.....
