    Trolling in games general?

    >Play a 16 year old wizard with red hair and a rat familiar
    >14 int
    >cast fire spells against enemies immune to fire and other stupid shit like that
    >Name is Ronly Wease

    Takes 3 months for my friends to get the joke and they only get it when I mention I have like 9 siblings.

    wis of 9 I had a lot of bad rolls and decided to stick with it. The 14 was my highest stat. DM gave me some free wands and other items to make up for my bad bad bad rolls.

    I would cast like one spell and usually from a wand when I did so. I did get a lot of "NIGGA WHAT ARE YOU DOIN!" looks and comments though.

    14 INT Wizard?
    Why would you have him along?

    You're on a fucking quest to save THE WORLD from fucking LORD EVIL, and you've probably got like:

    A Conan, or a Jason Statham, maybe both.
    You've got like Doctor House as a cleric.
    And Leon the professional, but with bows.

    Then...you have Ron Weasly?
    WHY?

    This is why players should talk to each other. Why are you make an jokey/rp character, when the rest are like uber badasses?

    this was supposed to be a one shot but everyone else wanted to keep going. I didnt feel like rerolling when I was given the option so I kept playing Ronly. I think the guy who always plays fighters in the group was ecstatic that he was doing more damage than me and I didnt show him up constatly.

    Because not everybody is a bunch of powergaming munchkin muderhobos? Some people are just regular murderhobos.

    Which sometimes means that strange, or joke characters get dragged along because it's fun for that party.

    Oh.
    Well.
    That's fine. You're all more RPing odd concepts and weird stuff. In my gaming groups,most people play SUPER SERIOUS TEAMS OF ADVENTURE.

    Shit, in one game, I remember one player's character told another:

    "We cant go out there, sirs! It's suicide."

    His character responded:
    "We're heroes. Not zeroes."
    The rest of the party kinda went like "We're tough as nails when all else fails, Player."

    I swear, my friends seem to think adventure is super serious fucking business.Maybe they imagine rock and roll plays whenever they do something cool.

    Soldiers are specifically trained to do a specific task, they're not random wanderers who kill things for profit.

    I agree that if you have a mostly professional group of adventurers it's pretty much out of character to accommodate a comic relief character for no reason, though.

    It depends on the campaign for my group. This started as a joke one shot that got carried on. If the group wants a serious campaign we make serious characters. I have made a Fighter that was a fallen paladin and even lost the feats for a GRIMDARKGRIM campaign that one guy ran. Other games I have played as a rogue who pretended to be a leper and a nosferatu who was a devoutly catholic mexican man before he was turned and he became so convinced that he was an evil abomination of darkness he had the cant walk onto consecrated grounds, and the crosses hurt flaws.

    Once played an 87 year old Barbarian with troll teeth dentures.

    Used to say things like 'Everything clicks when I wake up in the morning. If it don't click it probably don't work', 'In my day we had proper Dark Lords, big bastards in spiky armour who had Doom Fortresses, moats of lava and hordes of minions. Now all we ever fight are bandits', 'I remember when for ten gold you could get a night in a respectable tavern, a whore in a less respectable tavern, a barrel of mead, a new sword, some armour, a good horse, another whore and still have enough left over for black pudding and chips', 'You, boy, why you wearing a dress? You a eunuch or a faggot or something? (too the sorcerer)' and the all time favorite 'What? speak up you mumbling bastard!' because he liked to pretend to be deaf.

    But he had his useful side. He was good with languages, hunting and threatening merchants into giving us bargains if we would just leave the shop.

    He was also racist as fuck.

    It took them a while to get the reference.

    Murderhobo is a joke, the kind of stereotypical character a LOT of players make. You know. Munchkin'ized characters that have no living family,no relatives, no friends, no house, no connection.

    It's a character that lives for killing.

    Murderhobo.

    I've seen TONS of them.

    "Yeah,I"m a Paladin-Inquisitor of Torm. My entire family got turned by Vampyres, and I had to kill them all MYSELF. I burned down the house, and left the kingdom in disgrace, forever branded to never exist. I have no home. No family.Nothing but revenge, and as Torm as my ally, I'll murder every undead that lives."

    it doesn't help that the guys who make murderhobos are either:

    b) emotionally unstable and looking for catharsis
    c) emotionally unstable and looking for a power trip
    d) angsty basement dwellers

    Holy fuck, dude. It's time you consider that you might have some big issues as well. If ALL your friends really do suck that bad, why do you hang out with them? Because you are so fucking co-dependent you can't stand the thought of being alone so it's these chucklefucks you cling to despite the fact they are chucklefucks? Or you're so fucking repulsive that you can't go out and get another set of friends?

    Its Genghis Cohen from the Discworld series.

    He and the Silver Horde, more old barbarians, conquered a parody of ancient china and japan Empire. They were the very last surviving Barbarian Heroes. The world had left them behind and they had not died because survival is addictive. All the others had died or retired or just faded away, even the Dark Lords had all but gone extinct.

    They were awesome and when they died, after putting the fear of Man in the gods, they stole the valkyries horses and set of to the stars to find new worlds to conquer.

    My old character was never that awesome, how could he be?

    He referred to all elves as she regardless of gender, called all dorfs, gnomes and halflings 'Diggers', claimed that all orcs and half-orcs looked alike and called everyone under the age of 60 boy or girl.

    There was not one god who he had not insulted, by screwing the virgin sacrifice on the alter in his younger days and then looting anything with a resale value and in his old age by just looting and asking the girl if she would mind helping him pop one of his discs back into place.

    Where he would go when he died was any ones guess. He used to get paid for rescuing human sacrifices and murdering Dark God cults and the line between God and Demon gets a bit blurry sometimes. Gods of Order endorses slavery for instance.

    There was one time when, after killing a dragon, he demanded half the kingdom but the king could keep his daughter because she was an elf and an ugly one at that. The king only had 3 sons. Thankfully the Orc Sorcerer/Shaman (who the old bastard use to take the piss out of for wearing a dress) managed to convince the king to be merciful because the old human was senile.

    I'd need to go several counties over and start a new life to find a fresh batch and I'm too flightly to stick with an online group more than one session (some sort of personality flaw, haven't figured out what it is).

    So let me get this straight: Every single group you've ever joined are always a bunch of assholes? It doesn't matter if you hop from group to group to different group? Yeah, I think that the problem isn't entirely the people you game with.

    >and I'm too flightly to stick with an online group more than one session (some sort of personality flaw, haven't figured out what it is).

    Yeah, you got issues. And you don't even realize it. Chances are that you are even That Guy. Admit you have a problem, work on it, and then maybe you'll finally be able to socialize normally with other human beings, and finding a steady group that doesn't piss you off (since you don't piss THEM off) will suddenly be a lot easier.

    No, they all know each other; I meet some guys at a college, they seem fine enough, but apparently they grew up with former group A and C, and A knows B and B knows C. It's like they all network the local area or something, or maybe the population of nerds is that thin around here.

    >You're probably a THAT GUY
    I know, I probably am, I just don't know how to fix myself; I'd like to think finding a not-crazy group would help, but then am I deluding myself into thinking they're really a problem at all or am I just projecting onto them to excuse my own failings? I mean, fuck, how do you tell if you're insane when it all feels normal on your side?

    let be clear, these groups don't just all know each other somehow everytime, but their play styles are always a bunch of fucking murderhobos or sociopath-induced diplomonsters that basically control the flow of the game to their whim and everyone runs along with it

    am I being overly picky and thus a That Guy? or should I just make extreme efforts to figure out what theme everyone else is running (though I doubt they would even understand what I meant by 'theme')

    I once made a wizard that lived in a blue box-shaped tent, I made him learn various time-related spells and gave him high intelligence, he constantly wore an attire similar to a brown suit. He'd constantly give the enemy one warning before destroying them.

    Well, you'd guess my group caught on? Nope, only one person ever got the reference. One of the other players is a philosophical rogue, so he asked me - as a time wizard - to explain time: "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff." So this person goes "Wait what!?" asks to see my character picture and goes "OOOh..."

    Picture related, it's my character picture that no one paid attention to before hand.

    haha that is surprisingly similar to a character i made recently.

    The guy is a 53 years old cleric of pelor wita wife and kids.

    The love of his life however is the hydromel he makes. Last year however, undead attacked his town and, while he managed to protect his family just fine, them fuckers destroyed all his hydromel scattered his bees!! (not on purpose but it was definitely their fault).


    No other alcohol is good enough for him so he has been surpisingly, constantly and horrifyingly sober ever since.

    beign sober really brings out his inner asshole and he's become so unsufferable that the higher-ups sent him on a mission to kill some undead.

    We have a rule that we have to have a picture of what our character looks like, but we are not supposed to show them unless asked to show them.

    It's to help people to imagine that our original character based on - say The Doctor - does not become that character.

    In their defence I'd like to add that Doctor Who is not a commonly watch show in my country.

    I once played as Nicholas Cage from National Treasure in a GURPs campaign.

    Every other player was a variant of Nicholas Cage.

    That was a fun game. Although the GM must have realized it at some point, because the fourth villain was Nicholas Cage from "The Rock"

    Holy shit. That sounds exactly like one gaming group in my town. I went to middle school with one of the group and he kept on trying to invite me to play with their group since I'd watched my older brother play with his group for years and knew the rules to AD&D well. Even back then I realized that their group was bad news as every story he told me focused on some sort of terrible powertrip and them being murderous assholes.
    I've seen plenty of guys who have some sort of gaming relation to that group and they've always been bad news. We had one guy try out in our playgroup that we had to kick out after his battlemage would attack everything, including friendly NPCs and he'd blast fireballs and other area of effect spells without care for his partymates.
    The other dude I've played with that had ties to the group wanted to run his homebrew system... It included rolling random stats for your character with dSEVERALTHOUSAND. Needless to say, me and my friend who I've played with since the beginning couldn't stop making (un)subtle FATAL references during the game.

    But to be completely honest, a lot of my characters end up being murderhobos just to troll the people I game with. And I wonder why I haven't had a regular gaming group in over a year.

    That's how it ended, actually. Giant cage fight between us and a bunch of other versions of Nicholas Cage.

    The survivor became an omnipotent Nicholas Cage. Unfortunately, I died, so the final surviving Cage was the Cage from "Con-Air". Motherfucker had CRAZY skills with hand-to-hand, and just decimated the fuck out of us when we had to decide which one of us was the One True Cage.

    On the plus side, he saved his daughter. And that's what matters.

    I made this character as soon as I finished playing King of the Dragons.

    We called him Droog. In layman's terms, he was a complete fucking Conan ripoff. I did my best Arnie voice at all times whilst playing him. A wandering warrior who gave very few fucks at a time.

    Which is where the trolling came in. The game he was in was with a long-established DM who I noticed seemed very iffy about killing his players. Droog was my perfect opportunity to test his mettle.

    He detonated a bomb with a Gnoll's head at point-blank during a grapple, just to see if he would survive. [spoiler]He did.[/spoiler]

    He survived a trap that engulfed an entire room in alchemical fire--which he activated with the Rogue in the same room.

    When being dogpiled by voracious giant centipedes, he goaded the mage into lighting him on fire.

    He very, very rarely used his sword and shield, instead using his decent combat stats to grapple EVERYTHING in order to suplex it into something. This hit its peak when he charged an ogre and did a Canadian Destroyer down a flight of stairs.

    He was significantly smarter than his INT 5 seemed to suggest, quickly figuring out that his mysterious benefactor was the sorceror he hunted for the early part of the campaign. The party quickly chastised him for umping to that conclusion, even though he (and myself) knew that he was right. [spoiler]Guess what, he was.[/spoiler]

    In the end, he quit being an adventurer mid-campaign so he could become the lord of a local city.
