"WAAAAAAHHHH HOW DARE THEY NOT PERMIT A NON-DOMESTICATED ANIMAL KNOWN FOR IT'S VIOLENCE INSIDE, I JUST WANT TO BE SPESHUUUUL!"
If I were the DM I'd have the wolf attack someone the party was talking to/have it interfere at inconvient times to show it's more of a liability than asset.
Unless he was a druid.

The trouble with in-game corrections is that the party is perpetually down one player, it takes time to correct him, so he _still_ gets the spotlight, and if he's particularly dense he still doesn't learn anything.

Sometimes -- preferably before or after the first offense -- the DM or a player needs to say:
"Okay, out-of-character: if this is where you're going with your character, you need to realize that just because you want to be special, not everyone in the world is actually going to _treat_you_ as special. Guards will still arrest you, you will still make enemies, you will get into fights, and you will lose. The same goes for the rest of us, too, so don't expect us to bail you out just because you're part of the party. Establish your asshole backstory if you want, but we're not getting dragged down with you. And if you die, we expect you to take the hint and roll up another character. That being said, let's resume."

Not quite If you reread, you'll notice that I mentioned we'd been playing the characters for a year. As in real life year, not that they were fledglings themselves or whatever. Very well-established by this point, basically Elders in power and influence. At least until the new guy pulled a Leroy Jenkins on us.

>>16777207

You managed to play a hundred years worth of gameplay or more in a single year?

>>16777164
Alas, 'tis all too true. Jackass's name is 'john', but insists everybody call him 'Raven'. I would have thought him a troll, had it not been for his complete lack of satisfaction or pride in his actions and our responses.

>>16777233

Holy shit, I think I know that guy. Or I did, lost contact with him years ago. Do you happen to live in the Maryland area?

Protip - when you go to rape another character, you'd better believe they're gonna fight back.

>>16777231

Yes we did, but we also played a lot more than I guess is normal for most groups because a bunch of us lived together at the time.

Yeah he was kind of a vagrant when I knew him, I'll bet anything it's the same guy. Blows my mind, I figured he was dead by now. I could fill a thread with stories about him, lol. When I first met him he insisted everyone call him "Cloud" after the FF7 character, later on he switched to Raven.

>>16777370
>I could fill a thread with stories about him
This is a thread.
And, why assume Raven would be dead...?

>>16777370
Not the least bit surprised.

>>16777389
You have a point. This would be the appropriate thread to fill.

>>16777327

Not the story guy, but in my former group, in the beer and pretzels DnD game, rapes used to happen occasionally. IRL. PC on PC.

Uh, no! We're not LARPing! Honest!

>>16777439
So let me get this straight: Your group had player on player rape (not characters, players) and this happened more than once? Why the fuck did anyone keep playing after that?

>>16777443

>"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

FTFY

>>16777463
I would have ragequit the group if that happened to me. I know at least two rape victims and one who was almost raped. Not cool.

the fuck kind of nerd game are you guys playing?

>>16777516

Yes. Like I said, we're not LARPing. And the female player's characters was an elf. It doesn't count, right? (Does it matter than the rapist was a halfling?)

>>16777516

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

I don't give a fuck how tough you are, how well you fight, or how many fucking guns you own to protect yourself. I'll fucking show up at your house when you aren't at home. I'll turn on all the lights in your house, leave all the water running, open your fridge door and not close it, and turn your gas stove burners on and let them waste gas. You're gonna start stressing the fuck out, your blood pressure will triple, and you'll have a fucking heart attack. You'll go to the hospital for heart operation, and the last thing you'll see when being put under in the operating room is me, hovering above you dressed up like a doctor. When you wake up after the operation, you'll be scared for your fucking life, wondering what I did to you while you were being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You'll recover fully from your surgery. And when you walk out the front door of the hospital to go home, I'll run you over with my fucking car out of nowhere and kill you. I just want you to know how easily fucking destroy your pathetic excuse of a life, but how I'd rather go to a great fucking length to make sure your last remaining days are spent in a living, breathing hell. It's too late to save yourself but don't bother committing suicide either...I'll fucking resuscitate you and kill you myself you bitchfaced faggot. Welcome to hell, population: you.

Wolves very, VERY rarely attack humans. It's actually probably harmless, and I'd be comfortable petting one if I were outdoors.

Fucking /tg/, never change.

Alright. It is time for the story of Captain America. I have a few stories involving him; was a while since I last told them.

>Shadowrun, third edition
>neophyte GM (myself), neophyte players

One of the players is... special. I'm not sure how to describe him. Above-average intelligence, but catastrophic wisdom and charisma. In respect of his privacy, I will call him Neo, since at the start, he had yet to complete his metamorphosis into the defender of UCAS.

>Neo's character is an ork adept, all muscle and unarmed combat.
>Party, after meeting the Johnson, devoid of personal transportation, go by public transport to the place where their mark was last seen.
>The sammie goes by metro. The troll elects to go by bus.
>Neo elects to climb on top of the bus, and make rude gestures at passerby. The driver throws a fit.
>Neo responds rationally, by ripping out the windscreen and intending to lob it at the pedestrians. The driver shouts for him to put it away.
>Neo, naturally, puts it away. On the bus driver. The bus driver screams, crushed.
>Neo intends to lift the windscreen with the driver. I say the bus driver doesn't hold it as Neo lifts it.
>Neo, naturally, drops it again.
>At this point, the troll disembarks, and pretends not to know the ork.

>>16777140

THAT DM kind of story.

>Talking to my dad
>He usually DMs, but he PCed in a campain once
>Railroader, "rocks fall everyone dies", etc
>Demands that the PC group go into a dungeon and retrieve Artifact for King
>Artifact tied to king or something, PCs can't do anything with it
>Wizard of the group(my dad) given crystal to teleport back to the palace.
>Group goes through dungeon, grabs artifact
>On the way back, they fight an Umber Hulk
>Wizard screams "TO THE KING'S PALACE" and hugs the Umber Hulk.

>>16777931
That's because they're being forced to live in confined spaces. Wolves in the wild have been discovered to behave VERY differently than wolves in captivity. Fighting over the role of "top dog," so to speak, happens, but is much less common than the forced-to-live-together packs that were being studied for so long. Animals that aren't happy are going to behave in much more unpleasant ways. As I said, That Guy was an idiot. Even in a situation where he was able to befriend the animal, and make it comfortable around him, it would go fucking apeshit in an enclosed space with all those strange people around.

This is /tg/. We still remember the ancient ways of derailment. If you really want a "That Guy" thread, you post a "Paladin General" thread with thinly veiled references to the That Guy of your current group and how he plays Lawful Stupid etc. etc. Then you have to ride the wave of sympathy to eventually, around post 50 or so, declare "That Guy General." At that point people have warmed up and are in a sort of friendly camaraderie with each other.

Starting a thread is like moving into a neighborhood and throwing a party to meet your neighbors. Sure, you may plan it as a luau, but if the neighborhood wants a pirate theme that night, there will be pirates.

>Room appears empty. Bartender glares at them.
>The sammie demonstrates on the other door, how a door handle works.


>During a run, an NPC decker was hired to crack a looted computer open. As it's a cheap decker, the method is brute-force. The team is bored.

>The team is having up to here with Neo. The sammie decides to occupy the retard with something so he and the troll can get something done in the meantime.
>The sammie invites Neo to a fast food joint, and pays out of his Lifestyle, so that Neo gets an "all the kebabs you can eat" deal.
>Sammie and troll go off to do stuff. Upon returning, Neo has eaten twenty kebabs.
>Sammie's player comments that they are serving him the twenty-first. Neo makes some Body checks, finds that he's eaten too much. Once already out, he needs to hurl.
>He rolls appreciably well on Quickness, finds a container to hurl into. A passing troll (not the team member), laughs at him.
>Neo grabs the troll by the shirt, headbutts him, pukes on him, then throws him on the ground.

Before you ask, he's 15, he's the DM's son and he's friends with about half of the party - hell, he brought them along to the table! So yeah, can't really get rid of him. However, I have just given him a condensed version of >>16777033

Eventually, Neo's shenanigans with killing people in broad daylight earn him a spot in UCAS's Most Wanted list. After seeing his face on trideo, he wisely decides to get a new face. The group's fixer helps him find a cheap surgeon.

>We use a handy WFRP 2e PHB to decide how Neo's new identity looks like. He ends up an eyebrowless purple-haired freak.
>Not content with his transformation, he decides that a disguise is also required. He visits a local used clothing store, and finds a Captain America costume (sans shield).
>FLAWLESSLY IMPENETRABLE DISGUISE.
>But wait, he's still using his fists! That's a dead giveaway! Through the fixer, he buys a shotgun. The fixer looks at him dubiously, "Do you know how to use this?", handing him the weapon. Captain America confirms.


>One problem - he doesn't. He has no points at all in any shooting skills whatsoever.
>While strolling back to his apartment, a couple of cops notice he's packing heat. It's a fucking shotgun! Stuffed down the front of a Captain America costume!
>They corner him in an alleyway, as he tries to get away.
>Naturally, he whips out his new acquisition. A firefight begins.
>Now, being a combat-focused adept, he's doing pretty well at dodging shots. The problem, however, is that he keeps botching up his to-hit rolls.
>Whoops, there goes a street lamp!
>Whoops, there goes a hydrant!
>Whoops, you shot yourself in the foot!
>Eventually, he slays them in hand-to-hand combat, and walks away frustrated.

>>16778136

>Some run or other, team is investigating lone apartment building in the middle of nowhere - everything else was demolished in the area, then forgotten for a decade.
>Place is trapped. Grenades on doors, tripwires, the works.
>Sammie defuses doors by shooting them with his grenade launcher.
>Meanwhile, Captain America decides, after one trap inflicted him a Moderate wound or so, that it's too dangerous within without some sort of ranged weapon.
>He uproots a small tree, and starts throwing it at everything. The others tire of him doing this, tell him to wait outside.
>Major scuffle starts as they find a banshee or whatever regenerating fuckwad it was, and repeatedly try to kill it. Captain America notices this, and does the only thing that can be of any help.
>He hurls the three up two stories, at a window of the room the rest of the team is fighting in, filling the room in deadly glass shards. They survive.

Captain America's position on the Most Wanted list grows. His associates, as accomplices, join him. This does not amuse them. At all.

>>16778182
I can't decide whether he is awesome or an incredible asshole.

>>16778182

By this time, everyone has had it with Captain America. The GM, the other players and their characters. Following another run-in with the police, who by now got wind that he's the same guy as the cop-killing sonuvabitch ork from earlier, Captain America is chilling in the troll's penthouse apartment in Redmond.

>Captain America is eating kebabs and watching trid
>Captain America rolls for Perception, and botches
>What he was supposed to have heard is the black ops helicopter landing on the roof, but he didn't over the trid blaring.
>A wetworks squad bursts into the room. They get one free attack, as normal in surprise situations.
>Captain America dies as he had lived, eating kebabs, acting stupid and pissing off the authorities.
>The rest of the team go into indefinite hiding.

Pfew. That's about it. I gotta go to sleep.

If he gets into tabletop gaming properly I hope he doesn't lose such a good attitude

>>16778945
yeah. only thing is, we both moved recently and he spends most of his time at college since he can afford to go. I rarely see him, but I always tell him to check out the gaming group at his school in the hopes that he will really get into it.

Some jackass in my group derailed our entire game. I'm new, so forgive me if my imply-fu isn't very good, but I'll try.

I joined a group in a politics-and-war heavy 4e campaign run by a friend over IRC. One dude (THAT GUY) is playing a human wizard, illusionist focus, kind of a snotty noble. The whole plot is that elves murdered the prince of the nearest human kingdom for trespassing on their lands, we get sent in as a scouting/strike force. While traveling through the woods, we're ambushed by some trolls, and apparently the fighting gets the attention of an elven hunting party, including...surprise...the supposedly murdered prince. We find out that the elves are actually innocent victims, the prince had been wounded on their lands and they took him in for treatment. He fell in love with the captain of the royal guard, and decided to stay with him in the forest while he recovered. He doesn't think his crazy, warmongering father will listen to an elf, especially since the human kingdom is a bit shady, allied with orcs and dwarves and practicing demonology, so he asks us to end the war for him. Instead, the wizard lies to the DM by pretending to be concerned about the possibility of assassins, and murders the prince in cold blood, for being gay and sleeping with an elf. In the middle of elvish territory. Then he makes fun of my Swordmage for being weeaboo. He gets away with it because of ILLUSION BULLSHIT. Everyone else thinks this is fucking great and all, even though he framed the innocent Elf the prince was in love with and (cont)

>>16779063

Then apparently gets into bed with our Striker, because why not? Then he kills the lover, basically screws over the whole plot of purifying the human kingdom, and ruins the DM's enthusiasm for the game, while doing a bunch of bullshit to make sure he can't get caught. Fuck him twice, once for doing it, once for succeeding.

>>16779079
I wish this story didn't have a That Guy so I could read more. Got any others?

>>16779153
hard to say, but I like to think we got past the trolling stage of this thread's life cycle early on. I don't think we're gonna be getting anymore John Cloud Raven stories though, which is disappointing

Like I said earlier in the thread, I figured he'd be dead by now. I'm honestly surprised to hear he managed to survive into adulthood.

>2001, meet a pretty cool guy

>tell him he probably is a little magical himself after he wins, hopefully it will make him stop cutting himself

>>16780201

Haha, I could be wrong on this one... it's been a decade, after all... but I don't remember immortality being on his lengthy list of magical powers and qualities.

I'm guessing you didn't know very many occultist/wiccan/magick goth types in high school.

>>16780229
I knew plenty.
They all had a pretty healthy grip on reality, aside from lighting a few candles to boost self esteem.
None of them thought they were gods.

>>16780247
About 10-15% of them are like that.

>>16780258
Wait, do you mean 10-15% fulfil my anecdote, or 10-15% think they're gods...?

>>16780267
10-15% just make shit up on the spot to sound cool and powerful. It's like they're constantly roleplaying IRL while living real life, and god-modding the shit out of it. A guy once told me he was "ascended." I was like, "Oh, does that mean kind of spiritually enlightened, or what?"

Him: "Nah... it's kind of like being a Super Saiyan."

>>16780283

>>16780201

This sort of thing is making some sort of modern fantasy setting seem cool. Pity its mostly "USE MIND BULLETS TO DESTROY EVERYTHING ALSO ATLANTIS," "reality is subjective everything is true everything is false WOOOO," "what if D&D races were around today?!"

>>16780283
Jesus Fuck... That's sad.

Though now I think about it, what was worse were some of the people I met at university who seemed like toned down Ravens... They were all in the same circle jerk WoD game. God it was awful. Put me off WoD for life.

"Humanity should be wiped clear from the face of the Earth, to let those of us in tune with nature be free again... Like The Stand."
Whilst we sat in a heated appartment. Watching cable TV. Eating processed food.
"Like you, you mean?" Says I.
"Of course like me, I'm smart enough to live as the goddess meant me to live. Smarter than all these other animals..."
"Aren't you an animal as well...?"
"The Goddess has made me more...."
Needless to say, human genocide and self aggrandising bullshit didn't endear me to them.
It also didn't help that the guy in question was more Grilled Cheese then Bear Gryls.

>>16780334

Dresden Files RPG as a platform, maybe?
I don't feel it falls into any of those.

>>16780247

Well clearly they were merely fledgling mages at best, whereas John/Cloud/Raven was multiclassed in both wizard AND sorcerer.

Anyway...

>>16780362
Was he greasy, tall, skinny, with chin-fuzz and medium to light brown hair?

Because he didn't go by any of those names, but...

>>16780376
Everyone seems to know him...
Goddamn Quantum Derp

John/Cloud/Raven derping from lie to lie, hoping each leap will be the leap home...

Oh Boy...

>>16780376

I'm pretty sure he was homeless by this point or crashing with whatever whale he managed to harpoon that particular month, so yeah his hair was usually pretty greasy.

Not really on the skinny, I'd call him roughly "medium". He was around 6'1"-6'2", yes on the chin fuzz and yeah on the hair color. All of my stories occurred in western Maryland.

>>16780362
>haven't seen Street Fighter Kid in a while, I've been back with Damona, a super hot master of illusions
>usually when we go out in public she maintains the illusion of being ugly as fuck and smelly to boot, just so people don't hit on her and start shit with me

>>16780388

I'm convinced they're not the same guy, but a composite propaganda character built from many godmoding forever teenagers who name themselves after whatevers cool but default to a generic 'badass' animal name.

Never Hippopotamus, though.

>>16780394
If it's the same guy, I met him in Evansville, IN. Possibly on his way to Louisiana?

When did you know him? For me, it was fall 2008... He joined the military and disappeared.

>>16780405

>>16780405
I dunno, "Never Hippopotamus" has a nice ring to it.

"Cower mortals, I am Never Hippopotamus. Wallow with me through the churning muds of reality..."

>>16780411
The thought of John/Cloud/Raven being part of ANY official armed force is too terrifying to imagine.

Not moronic, well yeah, moronic, but totally awesome.

>>16780411 here.
Sorry, fall 2007/spring 2008.

this thread is the best thing we have right now

>>16780452
>collect all the lore about John/Cloud/Raven

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

Guys, stop this.

If there's anything I know about Urban Fantasy (which is what I think John Cloudraven's genre is), it's that making stories like this ONLY GIVES HIM MORE POWER.

alright, but it's liable to take at least 20 minutes because I use MSPaint

also putting on my trip, I like to use it to stroke my ego when undertaking projects that benefit all

So there we were at the model UN.

Delegates from all over, our school was china. When suddenly, there was John Cloudraven. He steps proudly through the throng, trenchcoat flowing, his skull topped can clacking in tuen to every step. And aloft, he holds an american flag, luttering on a pole, and drenched in what looks like it must have been citadel paint spattered to appear as blood.

I was taken ill that day, and never got to see his diatribe against the country he'd been told to represent. I'm told by others, it was mesmerizing.

>>16780691
CUNTING TYPOS
I SLEEP NAO

Not as over the top as some of the John Cloud Raven stories, but here's what I've got.

Playing Dogs in the Vineyard, Mormon gunslingers in the old west. One girl decides her character, Sister Faith, has a traumatic backstory involving rape, prostitution and a deep distrust of men. A little cliche, but hey- that stuff can, on occasion, be played well.

The thing is, she carries her character's hatred of men and superiority complex into every damn thing. My character, Sister Charity, is also female, but I tried to play her as a more innocent, traditional girl. Faith mocks her all the time for being naive for not immediately assuming all men are out to rape us, and for believing in god the way our job description says we should.

Now, Faith is a little trigger-happy, so our GM decides to throw us a problem where we'll have to come up with a non-violent solution. To that end, he has a town threatened by a man known as the Stranger, the scariest criminal in the west, out for revenge against the whole town for a wrong he feels they've done him. He's pretty unkillable, and the idea was that we'd have to actually negotiate.

Being a fan of westerns, I recognize that he's supposed to be Clint Eastwood's character from High Plains Drifter. Faith, of course, is less than cowed by him.

Not mine story, told to me by one DM.

Hey, guy with the Super-Saiyan story here.

He also claimed he had two souls, one of which was leeching off the other. I met him at a weekly meditation thing, and made the mistake of once mentioning that I saw a sword when I was meditating. He took this to mean that I had a metaphysical sword I'd been given by some powerful entity. He asked me if he could have it. I "handed" him the imaginary sword, and he proceeded to "impale" himself with it, acting like he was in horrible pain, and disturbing other customers in the front of the store (our weekly meditation session was in the back, and the 8 or 9 of us who were part of it had moved to the front after we were done). He explained to me after he "recovered" that he had cut off the parasitic soul.

He said he had to wear sunglasses even indoors if there were somewhat bright lights because of an eye condition (confirmed as true) but that the eye condition was actually because he was 1/3 demon and 1/3 angel (unconfirmed).

He was dating a friend of mine at the time, and told her that if she broke up with him, he'd curse her.

Oh, shit... possible way to confirm him as the same person or not:

Did he wear sunglasses all/most of the time? Did he mention an eye problem from being not 100% human?

WWJCRD?

>>16780770
Now to be fair, our GM probably should have expected that if you create a badass NPC to scare the players, they will try to kill him. But I don't think any of us expected exactly what went down.

Before we even met the guy, Faith already started making enemies in a nearby non-faithful town when they wanted us to turn over our guns. ("They're men! They'll lock us up and sell us into whorehouses!") Keep in mind, this takes place in Utah in the 1800s. She insisted she was just being true to her character.

By the time we finally meet the Stranger, she's been endlessly haranguing Charity for so much as having a fiancee, and for not having killed anyone in her life. When we do meet the bad guy, Charity tries to talk and figure out what he wants. Faith interrupts the conversation by just shooting at him.

Well, remember how our GM statted him as an incredibly scary motherfucker? Yeah, he takes her down like nobody's business and leaves her bleeding on the floor.

The time for talking now being abruptly ended, I had to have Charity desperately defend herself and her fallen idiot companion. Praying, tripping him with her long Dog coat, kicking dirt in his eyes, and finally stabbing him in the back repeatedly after making him trip, Charity only barely made it out with her life, and took really severe wounds. Unlike the unconscious Faith, however, the traditional, violence-shy girl did manage to stagger out soaked in blood, having earned for herself the reputation of killing the baddest motherfucker in the west.

We didn't play again after that.

>>16780770
To be honest, unless the other player was supposed to metagame -AND- was a fan of westerns, I'm not sure why its bad form to try a violent solution in a situation like that.

Unless mormons are supposed to be peaceful to violent criminals? Who the fuck knows.

>>16780898
Mormons are supposed to be peaceful to violent criminals.

>>16780856
>GM was merciful and let them beat cops and run away with the body.
>He describes New orlean, full of alleys and roofs
>Ask players how they're going to run awway.
>"Through allotments!"
>GM needs another minute for himself.
>GM decides to be a dick.
>PC somehow, with big troubles gets through one fence, another...and run straith into big black guy in the middle of some midnight screen.
>They try to scare him.
>Dude has a gun.
>"We run away!"
>"GM: "How?"
>"I jump through the fence!"
>GM: "Carrying a dead body?!"
>"Yes, I have [pulls out some ability from his card]
>He jumps.
>And lands on the other side.
>Body left hanging on the fence.
>GM gives up. black guy puts so many bullets into the body nobowy will recognize who he was or how he died.

>>16780898
A violent solution is indeed what ended up happening, and as I said, the GM should have expected us to think we were supposed to fight him. She did, however, rush blindly in, ruin an attempt at diplomacy and nearly get us both killed because she "wouldn't be intimidated by any man."

>>16780898
Well, Dogs is only loosely based on Mormons in Utah

But in the Faith (in the game) killing people is a sin. Killing in self-defense is a grey zone. The whole base of the game is playing young people who try to stop people from fucking and killing each other.

>>16780796
I think "running away without exceeding the speed limit" is one of the funniest damn things I've heard in a while.

>>16780894
>She insisted she was just being true to her character.

You reminded me of the last time I ended up being THAT GUY for being too much into character.

>Online campaing
>Our characters are kidnapped and rescured by GM's other group of more experienced players and their characters.
>One of them leads us to the exit.
>crossroad.
>Sounds of fight from one of corridors
>My character fors an attack plan.
>character from more experienced group tells us we go the other way.
>I say that my character kicks his in the face.
>GM, shocked: Do you really want to kick the only person who knows the way out and tries to avoid getting you killed?"
>Me: "Yes. My charactr is a control freak, that's in-character".
>GM looks pissed.
>Other player steps in and knows my character out.
>I miss the best part of the campaing by being unconcious.
I deserved that.

>>16780999
In some ways, it doesn't matter, you know? It was Creed against a small nation of idiot elves, under the reign of a DM who was gradually realizing that it would be a lot of fun to just let him succeed.

The actual events aren't important, the important thing is that he won.

(But dammit I wish he would have posted VI)

>>16780894
That's... actually pretty sweet.

>>16780948
Ahh I see, that's kinda cool. In theory. Still can't resist being antagonistic to the theme of every RPG I play ever though.

>>16781074
Agreeing. Sweet and innocent girl having, after desperate struggle, killed biggest motherfucker in the west all on her own...I would kiss that other player for making it happen.

>>16781035
It's a trap many of us have fallen into at one point or another- roleplaying a character is good, but it's important to keep in mind what kind of character would be appropriate.

>>16780999
Last I remember, the DM was trying to make him into the game's BBEG. He sounded like he was okay with it.

>>16781135
Well, it's still better than when I started. I was totally THAT GUY, having my character smashing his head on the wall, being total dick to everybody, casually telling a guy all his friends died with no respct whatsoever, starting a fight with local gang without even trying to negotiate, doubling taxi driver's money to get him loose a car that wasn't following us and generally being annoying piece of shit. Even I understood why GM killed my character and didn't complained.

Few years later, having get more experience and even having few miserable failures at GMing myself, I joined another campaing by the same GM, mostly with the same guys who were around back then. I come up with creepy character so I was 100% roleplaying and even when I once had a little dickhish moment GM managed to turn this around rather well from narrative perspective.
Generally most of people were much into roleplay and it tourned out very well, it was one of the best campaings I had been in. But, there was one guy who went to much into character and ended having her betray our team and fight with our leader. After everybody realized leader's character is too strong for his, he had her use her powers to crucify herself just to deny leader privilege of taking her life. Awesome from story's perspective, it was very climatic and all, but it was campaing where you don't roll new characters - you die, you're out, so guy went so much into the fun he kicked himself out.

>>16781050
>a DM who was gradually realizing that it would be a lot of fun to just let him succeed.

That seems like conjecture, but you do have to give her props for sticking with it and not just giving him Rocks Fall. She actively continued to be a good DM.

>>16780770

more. actually interested in spaghetti western with bad player.

dammit guys the file is too bag no matter which format I use. suggestions welcome, I've spent two hours making this damn thing

>>16781493
Dude, get GIMP, it's a free photoshop-style program.

>>16781656
He means it's too large to upload on /tg/.
At least, that's what I think he means.

>>16780912
>>16780898

The Mormons were more often the enemies in classic Westerns.

Probably because so many of the real ones were murderous fucks.

>>16781505
Split it into multiple images?

2 out of 3 hopefully...maybe 4

damn I suck at this

>>16781873
Well, they entire origin, including the founding by a known con man, is so ridiculous that any non-mormon who hears it thinks it's terrifying how many latched onto it.

3 out of 4

it's time for a fucking cigarette

4 out of 4

I'm sorry that took so long guys...looking back, "20 minutes" is a hilarious estimate. If anyone can make compress these at all and make them less than 4 images (/tg/ postable) then feel absolutely free to do so

did anyone ever put JCR on 1d4chan?

>>16782073

The guy's no Luke. And if there's not an article on Luke, I don't know why you'd need an article on this guy.

>>16782281
I saved it.

>>16782317
I think you need only to search "Luke" on suptg.

this is literally the greatest thread I have ever seen. It has it all
That Guy stories

some crazy shit about an ultimate That Guy who is probably a new /tg/ thing

fucking beautiful

>>16777909

I only made it half-way through the thread. But mofucker, A wolf invaded my beach campsite and was getting all up in my grill when I tried to shoo it away. Ended up beating it over the nose a few times with a hot stick from the fire pit after it tried to bite me.

We had hung all our food that night and were out of his habitat. That motherfucker had no reason to come fuck with me.

I'd still pet one in the wild if it approached me and appeared non-aggresive, but only because I'm a big boy and can deal with the consequences.

>>16780796

>>16780919

Dude! I remember that story. It was told by a guy at a talk in last year's Pyrkon.

>This entire fucking thread

Jesus, and I thought the guy who constantly insisted on eviscerating opponents in my Feng Shui game was bad...

Course that guy also ordered a tall, ice cold glass of Sake.

>>16782784

That sounds awesome. Did he get one?

>>16780169
I can confirm that, yes, he does sleep in the damned thing. He shacked up at a friend's place for a few months because said friend was a sucker for a hobo (having been one in the past and now on his feet, he feels obliged to help underprivelaged gamers when he can [JCR and a few others ate him out of house and home, though]) And his modus operandi hasn't changed much. He follows Cons. He'll pick out one particular insecure overweight goth girl there, spin some BS story about how he has powers, mixed with enough wicca bullshit to give local wiccans conniption fits, makes a big stink about how they should follow him, cons a handful of local wiccans and/or gamers into putting up with him for a few months, then hits the road for the next con, or convention, whichever he finds first. Funny side note: so far as we can tell, he's burned his bridges with just about every community of gamers, wiccans, and goths on the east coast and throughout most of the central time zone. No idea what he's going to do when he hits the pacific.

>>16782808
>>16782802

No, he did not. Even the sleaziest of bars in Hong Kong will not serve you that much alcohol at 8 AM.

Oh, and it was 8 AM.

>>16782810
>No idea what he's going to do when he hits the pacific.
Join the army, from the sound of things.

Or maybe find a different country to fuck around in.

>>16782849
Naw. My money is on stabbed-by-hispanic-drug-runners-when-he-tries-to-bs-more-weed-out-of-them-than-he-paid-for.

As for still being here, I just got back. I work weird-ass hours but the money is almost-decent. Figured I'd check the thread to see if it was still up before crashing for the night.

>>16782849
>One day he's gonna finally get too old for the witchgirls to take him in
Haha, nope. If he keeps the mage act up, it can easily last him to retirement. Girls don't think a guy is unattractive just because he's older.
How old is now, on that note?

>>16782872
How does he come by money?

>>16782818

What's wrong with drinking a glass of sake? I've done that before at home, re: filling up an old fashioned glass with Gekkeikan.

>>16782884
cons it out of suckers, and takes odd jobs 'so he can help pay rent' for whomever he's crashing with, but never pays anything. Gets whichever brainless slut he's boning at the moment to 'lend' him money. Also steals from those he crashes with.

>>16782918
Ah, good deal.
I respect this, and hope he reaches my coast soon.

>>16782974
Why the fuck would you respect that?

>>16782992
He's an adventurer. His life is a goddamn story. Why wouldn't I respect that?

>>16782899
It just seemed like a bad idea. A really, really bad idea.

In a game where the players stole a mob boss's car and sunk it thousands of years in the past, cut through walls separating rooms to avoid guards in hallways, and (briefly) attempted to lead one-man assaults on a fortress with a technically infinite number of guards, that made it on to the bad idea list.


Well, so did the fortress thing.

>>16783003
It's not a sustainable pattern. Sooner or later, he'll run out of english-speaking idiots. There's no shortage of idiots on the planet, but he'll have to go elsewhere to find people willing to put up with him. All the best adventurers I've ever seen have had a retirement plan. an opt-out clause that sees them living the high life once the quests are finished and the gold is tallied. JCR has none. No plan, no future. It's really not going to last long.

>>16782849
No, he'll keep going west and end up becoming a venice beach bum. Not the worst end

>>16783120

I dunno. There's a sucker born every minute, and honestly if he hit one coast on his wave of bullshit he can just head north to canada or something and do it all over again.

That's the thing, his plan only fails if the human race stops supplying so many stupid people.

He can't lose!

>>16783120
Maybe he doesn't expect the system to allow that.

What if he thinks he's playing Call of Cthulhu?

Oh god, now I want to use him as an NPC in a CoC campaign.

>>16783515
do it, then storytime it after every session.
do it for John Cloudraven

>>16783537
It'll take a while. We're starting with The Haunting and proceeding from there.

John Cloud Raven seems like something out of Unknown Armies to me, more than anything else.

John/Cloud/Raven storyteller guy here, just checking on the thread again.

>>16780801

I doubt you're still monitoring, but I'll answer (late as fuck) anyway. From what I remember, John said he was descended from the people of Atlantis and that's where most of his latent magical energies came from. He did have two souls that were trapped within and battling for dominance or something, and he would tap into the evil one and alter his voice to sound more scary or something.

He did ALWAYS wear sunglasses during the day to go with his Matrix trench coat and indoors if the lights were bright. I can't confirm the 1/3 angel 1/3 demon thing, I don't really remember, sorry. But yeah, according to him he wasn't human. Otherkin, I guess.

>>16782810

Good to hear he's still leeching off of fat chicks, I find that hilarious. And I agree with you on the getting stabbed part, that's why I originally said I figured he'd be dead by now. I was actually present when he got jumped by three black guys one time. It's part of the reason why I think he believes some of the bullshit that he feeds to people, he really has no idea when he needs to shut the fuck up.

>>16783565
He's like a random encounter that lasts for months to years!

>>16783565
>I was actually present when he got jumped by three black guys one time. It's part of the reason why I think he believes some of the bullshit that he feeds to people, he really has no idea when he needs to shut the fuck up.
This story deserves to be told.

>>16783573

That's why I hung around him for years, there was always some completely crazy melodrama going on with him. It was like finding the holy grail of unintentional comedy. >>16782810 put it best, his whole way of doing business could be described as a scorched earth policy where he'd just draw people in, fuck them over as much as possible, burn every bridge he can and then move to the next group. I'm probably one of the longest "friends" he's ever had, mostly because I refused to ever give him money and just stuck around for the trollgasm.

>>16777931
REALLY? Huh!

>>themoreyouknow.jpg

>>16783565
>I can't confirm the 1/3 angel 1/3 demon thing
I think he was still spouting something similar to that when he was in Louisiana. That was 2009, by the way.

>>16783600

Unfortunately it's more of an anecdote than a story, but ok...

Damn, it'd be a better story if he was actually a decent combatant, or at least tried. Oh well, I guess reality isn't always like that.

>>16783746

Sorry to disappoint, I'm just relaying things as they actually happened.

>>16783788
I know, it's no fault of yours. It's John Cloud Raven's fault for not being more interesting in this particular instance.

>>16783799

I can't really say he bitched out on that one, because honestly I don't think I would've fared much better against all three of them at once. Of course, I've never claimed to be an Atlantian primordial assassin thingamajig, either. Anyways, it's 6:30 in the morning here, so I think this is going to be my last post for the night (morning?). Glad everyone got a laugh.

>>16783840
Good night, sir. If this threads doesn't remain by tommorrow, I hope to see other tales of John Cloud Raven in future threads.

>>16783573
He's not a random encounter, he's obviously a DMPC.
You know what this means, guys: we have to derail this campaign. We absolutely have to, or who knows where we'll end up.
