    23 KB If it were a game. . . Mr. OP !!QGQTBqQHN36 11/10/10(Wed)20:59 No.12752554  
    DM: All right, so, you guys made your investigators yet?
    Players: Yeah.
    DM: Okay, what are they? Dan, you go first.
    Dan: I made a slightly wacky, bookish professor who studies ghosts and such, bit on the verbose side. Lots of investigative skills and crafting skills, not much in combat.
    DM: Okay, you next, Harold.
    Harold: Uhh. . . I kinda made the same type of character as Dan. . .
    DM: Oh, umm. . . Well, this can still work out. What about you, Bill?
    Bill: Also a professor, but not much of one. More concerned with making money than teaching. Huge womanizer, bit of a dick.
    DM: Uh huh. I guess you’ll have no problems roleplaying that one. And you, Ernie?
    Ernie: I can’t play for the next session or two, but I made a more combat-focused dude. Big black guy, lots of strength, the works.
    DM: . . . I guess I can work with this. First two or thee sessions we’ll do will just be investigation, we can pick up the combat stuff later.
    Harold: Hey, you never really did explain what this campaign was about. Care to tell us?
    DM: Sure. Modified CoC setting, lots of paranormal stuff, especially ghosts. You won’t be able to fight these things with weapons, but, though your characters won’t immediatly know this, you can use electricity to harm them, and they can be trapped.

    SEVERAL SESSIONS LATER. . .

    DM: Okay, let me get this straight. You discovered there was unnatural stuff happening in New York, possibly sign of the impending Apocalypse. . . and you start a business to fight these things?!?!
    Bill: Hey, if we’re going to fight ghosts, we might as well be paid for it, right?
    DM: YOU’RE SQUEEZING MONEY OUT OF PEOPLE FOR SAVING THE WORLD!!!!!!
    Dan: Well, the proper equipment IS expensive. . .
    DM: Gaaaaaaaahhh why did I ever let you actually make those proton packs and traps?
    Harold: Are you kidding? You said that we couldn’t fight these things with conventional weapons!
    DM: I MEANT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE *FLEEING* FROM THE GHOSTS, NOT TRAPPING THEM FOR A PROFIT! Fuck this, some dude from the EPA shows up and frees all of the ghosts, lets Vinz Clortho loose, and has you arrested.
    Players: Gaaaaaaaay.

    Bill: HAHAHA, YES! You said if we rolled four one hundreds in a row, it would work! We just banished that prehistoric bitch back to her home dimension!
    Dan: Nice! Wait, what about the girl and the dork?
    DM: They’re dead. Got turned into stone statues when Gozer disappeared, and they were dead and gone before that.
    Bill: What?!?! At least let me roll to see if I can crack open the statue and save her!
    DM: Fine. I stopped caring about the time Dan made the evil deity manifest as a giant marshmallow man.
    Ernie: A fucking SCARY marshmallow man, though. . .
    DM: Roll a d100.
    Bill: All right. . .
    *rolls 100*
    Harold: HA HA OH WOW. NICE ONE, DUDE!
    DM: Fuck. . . fine. She and the nerd guy are still alive. You get the girl, you save the day, and you actually have a higher SAN score than you started off with.
    Dan: This was great. Anyone up for another game?
    Bill: Sure.
    Harold: Yeah, why not?

    The final battle of 00's first, and we like to believe only, season. The former is when Lockon dies. The latter is when Setsuna fights the sparkly gold Alvatore, then gets robusted by TRANS-GRAHAM.

    Yes. Downhill and six feet under.

    They get a spare Lockon (His identical twin!), the dude with the split personality spends the entire season doing jack shit and fawning over...That chick with white hair, and the bland lead gets the sparkly, sparkly 00, which is basically an 'I win' button. The only good part is that the trap dresses up as the hottest girl ever.

    Also, Graham becomes a weeaboo. To punctuate the sheer stupidity of the series- There's a machine called the Gaga, which is basically a suicide bomb piloted by clone pilots, who live only to smash into their enemies. We have something called 'missiles' which do the same thing without such tragic loss of life.

    Also, Celestial Being worked hand-in-hand with the cult of scientology to prepare to fight aliens...WHO ACTUALLY TURN UP IN THE MOVIE, HOLY SHIT. Tragically, the red-hot China girl in that cheongsam cuts her hair, changes her clothes, and is ineffectual until she gets blowed up.

    Also, Saiji and his girlfriend join the main cast.

    GM: Alright, let's have a look at those characters... Joe, you realize this is a combat-heavy campaign right?

    Joe: Sure.

    GM: You put almost all of your points into intelliegence and 'use device' skills. You don't even have combat equipment, just basic tools.

    Joe: And?

    GM: Your character is over 500 years old.

    Joe: Don't worry, it's legit. Just read my backstory. I reincarnate.

    GM: Jesus christ, this is a backstory? It's 70 pages long! And Amanda, you didn't take a single combat-related skill either! You dumped all of your points into Charisma!

    GM: Okay, so this is a political campaign set in a nation recovering after having lost a war a few years ago. If you play your cards right, you might end up in positions of power.
    Nick: Nice. I'll play a veteran of the war, who once wanted to be a painter. I've been jailed for terrorist acts and treason, have rather firm principles, and maxed out CHA.
    GM: Good, I can work with that.
    Bob: I'm an organizer of the militia of a growing party. I'm also gay. Haven't thought of much else.
    GM: Homosexuality is frowned upon in this setting though.
    Bob: Eh, I'll make it out OK.
    Tom: I have a truckload of ranks in Pilot for some reason. Seemed like a good idea. I'm some sort of nervous wreck hiding behind martial fame and fucking fabulous clothing. Seriously, I spent five points on my clothing.
    GM: Okaaaaay... Last, Tim?
    Tim: I supply the INT Nick doesn't have, but I'm very loyal to him. Well-versed in literature and philosophy, bro, gets kind of complex since he's supporting a very anti-intellectual party.

    DM: I'm assuming you know that they're clones?

    Dan: Oh, yeah, totally my idea, anyway. You should look at their sheets; these guys aren't going to be able to dodge jack in combat. Neither am I, but that's why Sam is playing my bodyguard.

    Sam: I sunk a fuckton of points into unarmed and improvised combat skills; didn't want to be too dependent on firearms.

    DM: Okay, but...let's get back to Dan. How are your kids clones if your character is of average intelligence and has almost no science skills?

    Dan: Oh, shit, really? My bad. Well, I could go back and change it, but...hey, my background includes my father also being a super scientist type, so maybe I inherited the stuff to make clones.

    DM: That father thing may come back to bite you later, just saying.

    Its basically Ghost Busters, the Indie-RPG

    Its a lot of fun, you essentially create a paranormal investigation franchise and try to market yourself commercial. A lot of the game is on the business side of it, but you still deal with ghosts-n-shit.

    He's referencing an animu called something along the lines of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, which I think means "When the Cicadias Cry", but don't quote me on that.

    Basically, small town antics about a small cast of school kids and the lead up to a town festival. Then one or more school kids go mad and bodies start piling up. They're all mentally unstable in one way or another, have dark secrets and emotional scars that mean pretty much any of them could be the killer.

    Then everything resets and starts again. Madness, shenanigans, death. Only one character is aware of the cycle and begins to try to break it. There are maybe a half dozen loops shown in the series before it breaks, but it's supposed to have happened thousands of times, all ending in doom and death.

    The spiritual sequel is even weirder. You basically have an Agatha Christie murder- EXCEPT SOMEONE BLAMES WITCHES. The male lead spends the whole series going 'NANANAIDON'TBELIEVEINMAGIC' while distinctively supernatural shit happens offscreen as a metaphor. A metaphor for MURDER.

    Also, the Stakes are totally hot, when they're not ceremonial daggers used to kill people in horrific ways.

    GM: Everyone got their backgrounds in order?

    Ann: I think. This one roll thing is hard.

    Sam: Okay, so I am a royal noble with a great knowledge of politics and a mean attitude. I have trained with the royal guard to be a strong ruler. I'm in love with Ann, yet it can never be.

    Ann: No shit. I'm also of royal blood, but dedicated to my studies and court life. I was mostly a showpiece for the family, but I fulfilled my role and got contacts in high places.

    GM: What pairs did you roll? Didn't know REIGN had that.

    Sam: We rolled quintuplets.

    GM: Damn. Greg?

    Greg: Life fucked me in the ass. I was a great general but with small royal favor. Then my family got killed, I got caught who knows where and I ended up fighting in the arena. I'm a beast at combat, though, so I WILL take vengeance

    GM: Fuck, that's high powered, can't have you owning shit left and right. At least you share a theme...

    Ann: So we reroll?

    GM: Too much work... Okay, you all come from a senate-backed empire, rife with politics. The Emperor has died on campaign, so you both can make bets to power. Greg, as the general in charge, you got shafted by your own men by high orders, you will have to appear later...

    Jamie: Yeah, I've been doing pieces about corruption on the force. Also, I didn't take many combat skills so I hope the rest of you brought in some heavies.

    Kyle: Got you covered! I'm playing a vigilante. Here's my sheet...

    GM: Holy shit, where did you even find the stats for all these weapons?

    Kyle: They're just sports equipment. I had to custom-build a lot of them, but I started with a lead pipe as the base so they should all be balanced. Oh! I forgot to put down that I re-skinned my helmet as a hockey mask.

    GM: Kinda got anger issues too, huh? Alright, I can work with this. Dan, what have you got for me?

    Dan: I'm playing a ninja!

    Dan: No, no, it's cool. We all took the same race for the kick-ass bonuses, so we could be brothers. We'll all use different weapons or something, it'll work out.

    GM: Race?

    Mike: Dude, shut the fuck up about that!

    GM: This isn't a Racial Holy War game, I'm not giving you strength bonuses for playing a black guy or whatever... wait, what kind of race is that? I've never heard of it.

    DM: You got your sheets? Good. Remember, this is going to be a social game, slice of life, high school setting; no combat involved. Okay, what have you guys got for me this time?

    Dave: I'm going to be a hopeless nerd. I've got next to no charisma, but I've got an awesome imagination, plus a decent amount of points in Skill (art: draw). I'm going for a sort of pessimistic vibe for him. Oh, do you mind if I have a familliar?

    DM: I suppose.

    Dave: Cool, I want a dog. A really cool dog.

    DM: Alright. Jim?

    Jim: My character has assloads of charisma, but his dump stat is intelligence. Everyone loves him, and he's a pretty good skateboarder. Also, I thought I'd give him Tourette's.

    DM: Fuck no. Tourettes? Fuck no.

    Jim: Waitaminute. Tourette's, but funnier.

    DM: Funnier?

    Jim: Like random noises, and impressions. Oh! Also, I want to be an avid monster hunter.

    Dave: Oooh! Me too! Let's do it together.

    DM: Ya'll is crazy. What do you have, Donny?

    Donny: Only the coolest character to grace this table. He's a badass, an outcast, and nobody likes him, but that suits him just fine. I'm talking leather jacket, I'm talking no respect for authority, I'm talking a couple lackies at my disposal. Plus, he's rich.

    DM: And his shortcomings include?

    Donny: He's got Midas' touch, only it's not gold he's getting handed, but shit. Everything turns to shit, and he has emotional problems.

    DM: Right enough. Wanda?

    Wanda: Oh, I donno, just a regular chick.

    GM: Okay, before we get started, let me se your characters. Greg, what the fuck man? I know this is a fairly high-point game, but there is no way you could afford that much strength.
    Greg: Nah it's fine. See? I took a whole bunch of disadvantages.
    GM: A fucking prosthetic arm?
    Greg: And max points from Dependent and Enemy.
    GM: This is a dark fantasy game, for christ's sake. Speaking of which, Paige, what where you thinking? A fairy? Seriously?
    Paige: What's wrong with it? I like fairies.
    GM: You know what, whatever. Let's just keep going. Stan, I see you actually made a fairly normal fencing character. Thank god for small favors. How about you Fran?
    Fran: I'm a sadomasochistic holy knight. And Stan's character's half-sister, but I don't know that. I'm also hot for him.

    Scot: Super-fast dude with a shotgun and a bat. I can also double-jump.
    GM: You guys remember this is a realistic campaign, right? Whatever, I'll work that out later. Stan?
    Stan: My guy specializes in rocket launchers. Awesome, right?
    GM: No, that's retarded. Why did you also take special DR for rockets on your feet and legs? It better not be for-
    Stan: It's for rocketjumping.

    Max: Awesome!
    GM: I was kidding. Don't. Shaun, thank you for following direction. I don't see anything too weird about your character. I am confused by your ranks in longbow training though.
    Shaun: I plan on getting one later.
    GM: Christ. Hank, why did you get 20 Strength? Not only is that retarded, but this is a modern war game. There's going to be guns, making your physical strength pretty much useless.
    Hank: Not quite. Check out my equipment section.
    GM: A fucking mounted gatling gun? You're carrying around a gun meant to be strapped onto planes, you do realize that?
    Hank: Yeah it's awesome.
    GM: Ugh. Ed, why does your character have points in Gadgetry, engineering and nothing else?
    Ed: TURRETS!
    Hank: HIGH FIVE!
    GM: Fuck, I need a drink. Dan? Demo expert? Okay not too bad. What's with the one-eye drawback? And why does he have cultural familiarity with both Scotland and Africa? You know what, I don't care.

    GM: Wait, you ALL took Enemy at the 100% level? I... I can actually work with this. That fixes a lot of stuff. Just gimmie a bit to do a rewrite for the setting.

    I'd say that the Eiserne Jungfrau showing up proved to be the real turning point.

    Sure, the main character narrowed his argument to 'magic wasn't involved in these murders', but then Heaven's anti-witch Inquisition busted in and started investigating the facts. Dlanor is probably the most competent antagonist other than Bernkastel.

    GM: Alright, let's see what'cha got. Wizard, Wizard...Another wizard...Wizard, and a Half-Giant fighter? Someone explain this bullshit!

    Irene: Well, you said it would be a high-magic campaign. That means there's like a 1:1 magi ratio, right?

    GM: What? NO!

    Ronald: How about we're all in a small magic society?

    Daniel: Hey, yeah! Make it a school. I made my character like 100 to give him the extra INT and WIS. I'll be a teacher.

    GM: What the fuck ever. Scruffy? What about your giant?

    Scruffy: I'll be the janitor - No wait! The groundskeeper!

    GM: Fine. One last thing, though. Why's your character immune to death spells Harold?

    If my group tried that, the DM would accept it. However, in the first dungeon/cave/etc. that we traveled through, we would fight some golems in a room outfitted with an anti-magic field.

    Your average party would also be fucked in the same scenario. The fighter wouldn't have his magic weapons, so would be doing something like d10+strength and power attack and shit (which the half giant in this scenario would be just as good at) while the rogue would suck donkey dick because of no sneak attacks and the cleric and wizard wouldn't be able to do much either, naturally.

    The man said they would be fighting golems which are constructs.

    Constructs are immune to sneak attacks.

    The whole thing is still really retarded, since the wizards would still be doing the best by summoning orbs of acid and shit that DO work in an antimagic field.

    GM: So Greg is back in our gaming group, and we need to reintroduce him to the game. Unfortunately, he refuses to fucking roll a new character, so you guys have to go on a rescue mission to save him from a prison. The Americans are providing support but they're not happy about it.

    Bill: Alright, I'll bring Gary to this mission with a sniper rifle and a m4.

    Mary: You better not hog all the spotlight like you did during the last adventure with James.

    GM: Mary? What're you playing?

    Mary: Oh, I'm playing John again.

    GM: Fred?

    GM: ... Fine, fine, ok, psychics. In space. Whatever. ...Joe, why does your character have such a huge drive skill but is so bad at both range and melee?

    GM: But robots run off the piloting skill.... oh fine, I'll just say it's a half tank half robot...

    Also, as of Peace Walker:

    - Superiors were tricked by false intel, so they sent her to kill von Neumann in 1943. Found out she was pregnant, broke her cover for a second as a result, then got grazed by a bullet across her head while dodging a gut shot. Fell into a coma for 3 months, ended up regretting not carrying out the mission because she felt that von Neumann surviving led to the Cold War.

    - Got irradiated and became infertile in 1951.

    - 1960: Joined the Mercury Project. The Boss becomes the first person to ever go to space. Seeing the Earth from space led to the beginning of her dream, which was to unite the world as one. Unfortunately, the re-entry capsule crashes when she returns in 1961, severely injuring/burning her and sending her into a six-month coma. During her time in space, she was exposed to more radiation. In addition to that, the crash led the government to cover up the whole experiment. Her time in space becomes an unknown chapter of her life.

    - 1962: After her recovery, she is forced to assassinate the Sorrow, with her child's life used as leverage against her. Obviously, she succeeds in killing her husband.

    Two notes.

    1) The US government was pissed at her for crashing the capsule (which was their fault because they added a window to the thing), so they forced her to kill her husband.

    2) 2 years after she kills her husband, MGS 3 begins.

    Oh, right.

    It was revealed in Peace Walker that the Boss decided to put her gun down and started singing after the Mercury Project, hoping in vain that peace would eventually come. Her hope was shattered when she was forced back into service by the US government.

    When Big Boss hears that, he actually said that Boss betrayed him and everything she did as a soldier by choosing to lower her gun and dying only for her country.

    Not at that point - the spare had been taken out and replaced with a bomb. He was staying awake during the surgery to have the bomb taken out, while holding a small child hostage. Said child was actually the villain from the past. The idea being that if anything went wrong, PARADOX MOTHERFUCKER

    See, the sequence of events:

    1.) He was captured, and a bomb was put where his second heart should be.
    2.) His captor ordered him to go back in time and kill Hitler.
    3.) Stopped by time police.
    4.) Came back- And took his captor's kid self with him, used the kid as hostage for open-heart surgery while awake.
    5.) Kicked his captor's head off. (His captor thought, amusingly, that he was about to rape him. The Midnighter's response was: "You sick fuck.")

    There's closed-chest heart surgery that requires the patient to be awake, too, and they only use local anaesthetic for the groinal incisions. They do usually give you a drug to make you doze off and forget whatever happens in surgery, but some people are immune to the drug.

    There's a (remarkably unfunny) comedian named Matthew Davis who went through this, and because of his long-term alcohol abuse (so he says), the drug just made him feel slightly tipsy.

    Ned: Figured I play the skill-monkey. Rogue. Good at stealing.

    DM: ...monkey is right. What the hell race are you supposed to be?

    Ned: Human.

    DM: Why is your charisma so low? Good God, you took every charisma lowering flaw in the book? Hideous, Poor Hygiene, Uncanny Valley and... And Cowardly. Three cowards in this outfit. Fantastic. Well Chris will be joining us later. I think I can work this..

    GM: Ok, after the... bizarre conclusion to the last campaign, we're going to try something a bit more down to earth. Put simply, it's going to be a police/detectives theme, and unlike last time there's no way you guys can cock this one up.
    Karl: I wouldn't put money on that one.
    Cameron: Can we use our characters from the last campaign?
    Karl: See?
    Simon: Oh you mean the one with the giant robots and the Spiral King-
    GM: SPEAR KING!
    Simon: Yeah him.
    Cameron: Yeah that one!
    GM: ... You know, sure. Go nuts. You're going to have to retool them to get them to fit though. (Plus it saves me having to make a bunch of new NPCs...)
    Cameron: I'm still taking Manly As Fuck though. And I'm going to have a bitching awesome car!

    *A few sessions later*

    Simon: Why am I dressed as a girl again??
    Cameron: For a sting operation! Look, if all else fails, I'd do something awesome with my car, like challenge the perp to a game of Chicken or something.
    Karl: How did you two stay on the force as long as you have??
    Cameron: Manly As Fuck.
    GM: If this goes tits up, the Spiral King-
    Simon: Don't you mean Spear King?
    GM: Different setting. Anyway, he's going to be pissed off beyond belief.
    Cameron: Ahhh what's the worst he could do? Partner me with some hard ass, by-the-books loser?
    Karl: Hey!
    Cameron: Hey, I told you you should have taken Manly As Fuck.

    DM: Ok so we're playing in a modern-day setting using D&D 3.5 rules, remember I said you can use any core book and we'd be using high-technology as magic. I take it you read all the rules for modern weapons I emailed? Good. So, what're you playing?

    Wow.

    A whole party of Huge Warforged Druids, really?

    Except Vimes doesn't hate non humans or humans. In fact, it's the opposite: he's totally un-prejudicial, which comes across as odd when in the setting you've got Dwarves hating Trolls and vice-versa, and some humans hating others... He doesn't HATE dragons, for the love of god his wife owns a homeless dragon shelter. The only Hatred: [thing] that fits is the Nobility one. And he's not a berserker either. Vimes almost never looses his cool, and I know, I know, The Beast, but he's got total mastery over himself and never lets it loose of its chain. Not to mention, while he is an excellent street fighter, he couldn't take on an army and win.

    But other than that, very good.

    DM: All right, this is a CoC campaign set in the northeastern USA. Let's see your characters.
    Bella: Maxed out my charisma and luck.
    DM: I see you're lacking any skills....
    Bella: Don't worry about it. I'll make friends with everyone. Trust me, it will be useful.
    DM: Okaaaay. Jake, I notice you're a werewolf. Good mechanical skills... and holy shit, those are big combat bonuses.
    Jacob: Yeah. Actually, I'm going to miss a lot of sessions for the first bit. Got night shifts for the next few months.
    DM: Okay, we'll just introduce you in this session and bring you back in when you get back on days.
    Mike: I've got the "unrequited love" flaw.
    Angela: So do I!
    Jacob: Now that you mention it....
    Eric: Hey, me too!
    Jessica: What are the odds?

    *next session*
    DM: Ed, you don't have a character yet, so you can run the BBEG.
    Bella *looks at his character sheet*: Oooh, you're a hottie.
    Ed: All right! God mode!

    *time passes*
    DM: No! This is not a fucking ero game! It will never happen! Over my dead body!

    *time passes*
    Ed: I cast a spell to make myself sparkle!
    DM: Um... sparkle?
    Ed: Yeah. Girls like sparkles, right?
    DM: ....
    Mike: Fuck this, I'm not playing any more.
    Angela: Same.
    DM: But we spent five sessions building up your characters!
    Mike: Screw it.
    Eric: Yeah. He's not even playing his sensitivity to light flaw.
    Jessica: Come on Mike, let's grab some pizza.

    *a few months later*
    Jake: Hey guys! Um....

    Yeah, I got the last three. It was Vimes that was giving me trouble.

    GM: Alright, this game is centered around using magical animal companions for combat. Let's see them stats!
    Player: Here you go.
    GM: Okay, low Int, high Cha.
    Player: Yeah, stupid but friendly.
    GM: I can understand that. Let's see you starter animal- HOLY SHIT! How did you get it's stats so high?
    Player: Turns out the 'violently disobedient' flaw is a big deal.
    GM: Oh, wait, so it doesn't listen and it attacks you? Okay, that really balances it out.

    Later that session...
    Player: Shit yeah, rolled a twenty on my diplomacy roll! Not that overpower electric rat is Loyal to me!
    GM: Ffffffffffffffuuuu-

    Was Vimes not a bit obvious as soon as you got Colon and Nobby?

    GM: Ok, it looks like we have a new player. I'm going to retcon him in as already being in there. Allen. What's your character.

    Jay: Well you know. I'm the fastest man in the world.

    Party: We bet. *Wink*

    Jay: Hey! But no, I got my powers from a lighting bolt that struck some weird chemicals.

    GM: Ok. However how the hell did you get so high Cha, Int, and forgot to put points in Wis? Super-speed gives you super-dex, yet what's your weaknesses? I don't see any.

    Jay: I didn't put any. How about flaw: Arch-Enemy (Psionic Talking Gorilla).

    GM: Let me guess it's an Alien?

    Jay: Nope! My character is completely human, and my arch is actually a rogue member of an entire race of psionic talking gorillas. Oh did I mention they developed much better technology than normal humans?

    GM: *Sigh* Fine. I did ask you to go all out. However I didn't expect most of my players to be aliens or have alien technology. Your main villains are: Ares the God of War, A bald dude with an ego complex, A yellow magic ring user, Circus Freaks and a psychopathic clown, and a talking gorilla. Too bad like most villains they're unorganized, and have paper thin plots that involve "taking over the world" or "robbing a bank".
