>>85505196
Go away.

>>85505236
That's rude

Don't buy the supplemental d&d books, they're easily found in the pdf share thread and wizards doesn't need your money. If anything, get the relevant core book (I assume the PHB, because you're a player) and just use pdfs for your extra options.
Really, the only people who have a legitimate reason to buy physical copies of the books are DMs, because managing 7 goddamn pdfs to plan an encounter is bullshit.

>>85505196
He doesn't. He's free to invalidate your purchase as a player all he wants, those books are meant for the GM anyway. If you're the GM, that's when you get to choose what books are and aren't being used.

>>85505329
Bold of you to assume op plays games.

>>85505329
I like having the books, they are fun to collect.
>>85505337
Invalidating my purchase invalidates my labor I used to purchase the book as well. it's like telling me my time has no value.

>>85505361
>it's like telling me my time has no value.
It doesn’t.
Also, when it comes to gaming, you bring nothing to the table.

>>85505361
I guess your right. In the end, you wasted your time and got nothing out of it. Try and think things through a little more next time.

>>85505397
That comment did nothing but out you as a rude person, good thing you're anonymous or that kind of stuff would come back to bite you.

>>85505361

Your time has no value in the context of a game. Someone else is spending their own time to run you through a campaign. They therefore make the rules. Not you. If you want to take the time to run a campaign, you set the rules.

>>85505426
Not true. That comment made you do a bit of soul-searching, thinking about how stupid your bait post actually was. It left you at a loss of words, a loss so massive that you could only respond with “rude!”

>>85505196
Bait question but real response.
No. Nobody has to let you do anything.

That said, if your group was already agreeing to share resources - "you buy book X and I'll buy book Y"sort of deal - your GM is possibly being a dick if they decide to exclude a book after agreeing to this.
You just showing up with a book and saying "I paid for it you have to use it" makes as much sense as me showing up with a whole other system and getting mad the GM isn't ready to run it then and there and wants to go with the prepared material.

WotC would be really smart to put it in the rules that the DM has to let players use stuff from rulebooks they spend money on.

>>85505484
Me wanting to play a Tabaxi doesn't require the DM to have to reprep the whole game, that's not an argument.

>>85505494
DM here, it absolutely does.

>>85505503
It quite literally does not.

>>85505507
Hey, that's good to hear. You try coming up with an adventure for a party consisting of a cat person, a talking bipedal turtle, a flightless bird that can only mimick speech and a demon person.

>>85505529
You can just run whatever adventure you were planning on. Just because you pictured human fighters when you homebrewed an adventure doesn't mean we can't have interesting characters, it's fantasy ffs.

>>85505494
The point isn't about the amount of work done. The point is you agreed to play a game under certain rules and then you want to show up and do a different thing.
Swap "whole other system" for "my homebrew race" or "some class I downloaded off of a wiki" or whatever.
Maybe it's an unnecessary restriction but if you feel that way, you should've brought it up before you spent money about it.
Takes very little time to ask "hey if I buy X book can I use the stuff from it?"

>>85505545
I'm asking about an official Wizards of the Coast sourcebook, you aren't being genuine in your argument by bringing up homebrew or an internet class
You anti Tabaxi dicks must be fun at parties.

>>85505196
Correct, yes.

>>85505598
I never said anything "anti-tabaxi".
I said you shouldn't agree to play under certain restrictions then get mad when the GM wants you to play under those restrictions.
Restricting race in 5e is honestly pretty fucking shit but, also, why did you agree to play in such a game if it makes you so upset you seek out validation on 4chan of all places?
Consider how your actions could have led you to a happier place here.

>>85505196
>there's no point to me buying books.
It's funny when people accidentally arrive at the right conclusion

>>85505598
There's a rule in the WotC DMG called Rule 0 that says the DM gets to decide.

He coule even remove a core class like a Fighter from his game if he wanted. And you likewise have the freedom to leave his game if you wanted.

>>85505598
>I'm asking about an official Wizards of the Coast sourcebook
If I were to show up with a disparate sourcebook, first party or not, and tell the GM "I'm picking something unique to this, *you* make it make sense," the GM would not be the asshole in that scenario for shutting me down.

Imagine some dipshit showing up to a 3.X game with the Incarnum book or one of the other setting-warping splats and being as much of a donkey about it. Christ.

>>85505722
Showing up to a game set in Forgotten Realms and asking to play a Tabaxi (a main race fromt he setting) is no where near approaching what you are saying. Bad faith argument.

>>85505739
>Showing up to a game set in Forgotten Realms...
>Bad faith argument.
Funny you should say so: Pretending details were established when you have literally just introduced them is a pretty core example of a bad faith argument.

>>85505739
Yes it is what he is saying, if the GM straight up tells you that those aren't going to be a part of the setting. The GM decides the content of the game, end of discussion. If he didn't tell you before you bought then book, then yeah that's unfortunate, but tough shit. You don't like it, find another game. Your sense of entitlement is unbelievable.
inb4 more "b-b-bad faith!"

>>85505780
Showing up to something he agreed to do a certain way and acting like it's fine to do something else is also acting in bad faith.

>>85505795
Man, lotta instances of bad faith seemingly just cropped up all at once.
Must be one of those Baader-Meinhoff things.

>>85505795
You literally just learned the phrase bad faith today, didn't you

>>85505786
Maybe he should play some esoteric elitist system instead if he's gonna pick and choose what's allowed in an established setting.

>>85505361

As a player, your time has no value. The only person who's time has value is the DM.

>>85505934
nothing has any value. The Universe is a cold, uncaring place where ultimately nothing you say or do matters.

>>85505913
He's not. You objectively make poor decisions with your money and expect others to validate your poor decisions. If you were buying the books FOR your DM, that would be a slightly different case (Though he'd still not be obligated to use them at all) but since you're buying something that can only be used in a certain circumstance and openly have no plans to ever fucking fulfill that circumstance, it's a poor financial decision. This is no different than buying an expensive set of tools that you never plan to use, DLC for a game you don't own, or a set of paints for a model boat you don't own.

A person who gets paid to run games as a DM.

>>85505944
Now who's arguing in bad faith? Though it's pretty fucking clear that you were either casting shit bait from the get go, or just wanted someone to back up your overly entitled opinion.

>>85505948
This. Anything you do for money you’re a “professional” at.

The only book an individual will ever remotely need is just the player manual, and even then you could still argue just using the pdf is better because it only takes a couple seconds to pull out your phone. If you need to look up something from a different book it's probably something you should have already written down before coming to the session.

>>85505945
If you think of professional players as actors you can think of professional DM as a director.

No.

Just go post an open game on roll20, mark it as a paid game, and tell everyone you'll be charging $10 or $15 or $300 per session or whatever the fuck you want.

>>85505994
As a GM, absolutely. As a player, nope.

>>85505994
>Buying the book entitles you to use stuff from it in a game
No, it does not. The book's existence and official publishing is enough reason to entitle that. Buying the book itself does nothing to anyone's opinion.

>>85505981
Have bobs and vagene

>>85505994
Yes, if you RUN the game, then you can make the rules. If you aren't the GM though then the best you can do is just ask if they'll allow it and don't act pissy if they say "No" Hell you don't even need to own the fucking book to use it as a DM, PDFs exist and can easily be found for free
>>85505996
You have failed

>>85505994
Don't spend money on books if you feel that way. It's as simple as that. Alternatively run games yourself to make use of the books you've bought. It's not other people's job to justify your purchases.

>>85505994
>Buying the book entitles you to use stuff from it in a game
Wrong. Buying a book entitles you to lobby your DM to allow the things in the book, but if the DM says no, then you wasted your money.

It's the natural order of humanity for superior specimens to remind inferiors of their place amongst the social and economic ladders. My brain wouldn't tell me it's good unless it was good for me.

Ok, no just no.

If your GM is running an adventure, and he decided to change anything or decides that certain class or race or rule or feat doesn't sit well with him, he has every right to opt it out. If You decided BY YOURSELF to buy a book without consulting wheather you would be able to use it in his campaign, then YOU took HIS agency away in the EXACT SAME MANNER you are complaining about.
And worst yet, you already have admitted both that you like to collect them even though you never want to try being a GM, so when you say that in not letting you use your purchase in HIS campaign somehow equates to invalidating your purchase then you are being manipulative (you've already admitted you buy it because you like it and not exclusively for the game), and worst yet, a hypocrite.
Why? Because you flippantly say how not much of a trouble would be to deal with this or that but are unwilling to step up the way he is and bear the burden of being a GM.
And before you start crying something along the lines of "overtly dramatic" might I remind you that being a GM requires actual preparation wich you have already stated you refuse to do.

The level of entitlement is astonishing

So, no. HIS table, HIS lore, HIS rules

>>85505994

The level of entitlement is astonishing.

A GM is there to serve the players. With no players, he has no game. GMs must be subservient to the whims of their players if they wish to continue GMing. Their fun or consent is not required.

>>85506121
honestly, this.

>>85505981
If you actually want to make it work you need to understand it's not about feeding their egos any more than an RPG already is, anyways. Sure, that's what a lot of the Roll20 shit is. "Here's $10, tell me about how big my wizard's dick is. No, the story I wrote says *my* character kills the dragon (who is their father)," yadda yadda yadda.
What you actually need to do is find people with more money than they have the time or confidence to GM. The fact that you're almost certainly supplying all or some of the books as well as the knowledge can bring its own premium.

Look at it this way. There are a lot of great, easy to make dishes that people would rather pay for than put in the labor to master and make themselves. Same thing. Shit, people pay a lot extra for delivery because they don't want to take 15 minutes to go pick their food up themselves. Why SHOULDN'T there be a market for paid GMing?

Or make a pitch, and a business card, and approach businesses to run a weekly or monthly game as a team building exercise. Seriously, you would only need one or two bites to be making a fair bit of income on the side. There is a shocking amount of money in setting up play dates for middle aged white collar workers. It's, like, *five* different industries.

>>85506121
>A GM is there to serve the players. With no players, he has no game.
It is many times easier for a lone GM to find players than any number of players to find a GM.

>>85506121
>With no players, he has no game.
No matter how tyrannical, a GM will ALWAYS have players. There is no end to the number of people who want to play.

>>85506075
Neither you own him, nor his game, so you have no say on what he ultimately decides to do on HIS game.
And I do say HIS GAME brcause you are NOT THE ONE planning the sessions and deciding what constitutes "too much work". He is, ergo HIS game

Don't like it? Then you run a game and you decide what goes in and what not, until then your opinion is baseles, biased, and higly entitled.

>>85506121
Playing the game as intended since its very inception is far from entitlement.

>>85506121
Players are the most easily replaceable part of any RPG table.

Who is more replaceable will vary by region. And even online where communities are interconnected it will vary by timezone.

>>85506208
What region is it where players are so thoroughly outnumbered by DMs?

>>85506208
To a degree this is true, but there will always, ALWAYS be far more players than GMs, simply because even with the simplest systems, it's multiple times more work to RUN a game than it is to be a player in one, and a lot of people don't like that work. The only time I've ever heard of a GM having a hard time finding players is if they're trying to get 5e players to try something that's not actual garbage, or if they're some combination of a genuinely awful person, a known control freak, and a massive creep. And even people in the latter category can still usually find a group for 1-2 sessions online simply because GMs are in such demand.

>>85506075
He does however own the right to determine what content is or is not in his setting and what is and is not allowed at his table. That's why the more common term is Game Master; he's the master of the game. If you don't like the game he's running, you can go fuck off off and make your own or play at another table.

>>85506121
>A GM is there to serve the players.
Wrong. Flat out wrong. The GM does 99.99999999% of the actual work. His setting. his table. His lore. His rules.
>With no players, he has no game
Players are a dime a dozen. Gms on the other hand are rare. He has millions of potential players out there. You have low, low odds of finding a GM however, moreso when you're a whiny turd who keeps wanting to play his speshul snowflake OC.
>GMs must be subservient to the whims of their players if they wish to continue GMing
False, triply so with randos.
>Their fun or consent is not required.
It is, because without the Game Master there is no game.

What part of this is entitlement? You try having a game with no GM.

You try finding a GM without acquiescing to their requests most of the way.

You try keeping a GM without him having fun or consenting to continuing running the game.

You gonna make him?

>>85505196
Only if you buy it from the GM.

>>85506266

I know that you are pretending, for the sake of comedy, but please anon, you need to make that clear or there might be people who think you are being serious.

>>85506356
Then why don't they leave when things aren't going their way?

It's because they know they won't find another GM willing to put up with their entitled horseshit.

They want in? They abide by the GM's rulings, and acquiescing to his requests.

Full-stop, no appeal.

>>85506266
>You gonna make him?
Yes.

>>85506376
Sure, just as he is gonna make you stop pouting about what he has already vetoed

>>85506356
Ok. And then what?
Seriously, then what? A GM can just find a fresh crop of new players in a timeframe that ranges from a week if they're being picky to an hour if they have no standards for players. A player will group will, assuming they don't break up after leaving their GM, will have to spend a long ass time trying to find a new GM that wants to run the kinda game they want to play. There's also no rule that says a GM needs more than one player for a game they run.

>>85506374
You sound fun at parties.

>>85506376
How?

You gonna hold this man at gunpoint so he runs the shit you want?

>>85506385
People keep showing up for some reason, so I must be doing something right.

A GM who's just a relentless shitty tyrant will drive off every player conceivable, but at the end of the day, players need any individual GM more than any individual GM needs any individual player.

Players don't get to be entitled pieces of shit and expect to stay at the table. Eat shit.

>>85506383
NTSA but to further drive this point across; a decent GM will be able to run a game even as a solo play. Specially when there are rulesets that allow it, and there are quite a few books out already for various systems, so yeah, the GM can game alone if need be, but the players will need someone to step up and become a gm, taking us back to square one in this installment of "how not to behave towards your GM"

Why didn't they exercise their alleged power over me beforehand if they were dissatisfied?

Or just walk away?

Maybe it's because the GM calling the shots on their campaign...somehow magically isn't the end of the fucking world. Or just plain matters less to most players than finding a GM to run the game at all.

Or maybe they just LIKE the games I run.

It's not like I'm holding them hostage. I haven't tied them up and held a gun to their heads to tell them to roll their fucking dice.

>>85506451
What did you expect? Your opinion so far has only been
"I bought mah buk for mah colection so imma use it or mah valued time" while chastizing your GM and acusing him of doing the exact same thing you are doing to him
>>the DM has to let me use stuff from it, right? Otherwise, he's invalidating my purchase and there's no point to me buying books

So they have no value

>>I like having the books, they are fun to collect.
But then they do

>>Invalidating my purchase invalidates my labor I used to purchase the book as well. it's like telling me my time has no value.
But again they dont

>>I like collecting the books, I have almost every 5e book released so far
But then once again they do.

If you bought them cause you like them and want to collect them and have most of them then good for you, there is your "value". But it bears little to no consequence to the GM and definitely
He is in NO WAY responsible for your purchases, and he STILL has the option to NOT ALLOW whatever he doesn't want to deal with regardless if you care or like it. Specially if you didn't consult beforehand with him.
If you can't understand that simple fact then I would not be surprised when you are kicked out of that group

>>85505196
Find another group, it's the best solution for you and the DM. Because he is not obligated to insert whatever the fuck you want in his adventure and you're free to just go find a different group that will, or you know, if you're completely socially inept, just play video games. There is Solasta and the new Baldur's Gate, games based on DnD 5e where you won't need to interact with other humans.

>>85506517

I know what fucking Stockholm syndrome is, you walking piece of sapient trash.

>You are arguing bad faith.

How exactly?

My position hasn't changed, has solid logical reasoning behind it, goalposts haven't moved a single time, and it all loops back around to 'muh GM is bad cus I can't do thing I bought da buk fer'

With absolutely no consideration for the other human on the other side of this equation (the GM), no consideration for the rest of the players in the group (who may not even give a shit about your problem here), no consideration for the possibility what you want and are willing to dig your heels in for might be bad for the wider campaign, the game, or anyone else present, and no consideration for literally any of the effort the GM is putting into running the game as it is.

And somehow, some way, you seem to think I'M the one arguing in bad faith when entitled players are objectively more common than entitled or even tyrannical GMs simply by sheer fucking volume of people on one side of the table compared to the other.

Every single suggestion and counterargument you have made is more inane or more ludicrous than the last simply because you cannot fathom of a concept in which your wants and desires are not the center of the world.

Any GM would be in their right to tell you to get the fuck away from their table.

>>85506563

Good one.
One day players will come to own the means of running the game themselves... Which will make them GMs by definition.

>>85506745
So why don't they already?

It's as easy as pirating the core rulebook and GM guide.

>>85506653
Oh but my friend you've dug your own grave. Because he IS being consistent. The GM has said "no, you cannot use these options as they are not part of the game world". He's most certainly being consistent, and also enforcing the consistency of his setting. YOU are the one trying to bring inconsistency into his setting.

>>85506752
But we are playing in forgotten realms so they are 100% unequivocally part of the game world

>>85506648
The DM is in charge of the game. His goal is, ultimately, to ensure that EVERYONE at the table is having a good time. If you are the only person whining about not being able to use your overpriced toilet paper at his table, then him kicking you and finding someone else IS him ensuring that EVERYONE at the table is having fun, because the majority find your pissbaby attitude against the fun of the game. By removing you, you are no longer at the table and therefore are not a player in his game nor his concern.

>>85505196

Rule 0, DM has final say. That includes which books are allowed.
Even WOTC's AL only allows PHB+2 last I checked.

>>85506764
Not true. In fact, the PHB accounts for this with Bladesinger and Battlerager, noting that "your GM's version of the realms" might differ. Clearly, his version of the realms lacks those options.

>>85506767
>just get rid of everyone you don't like
Yeah, an austrian guy had the same idea about 80 years ago.

>>85506779
If only he would have gassed your ancestors.

>>85506779
You can go find a different table or make your own. The GM has no duty to keep someone who's making everyone else - including himself - miserable around.

>>85506751
Because a forever player who never bothers to even try DMing is a parasite. He produces nothing of value for his group, his community and hobby at large; and only drains resources - time, effort, attention; but on the other hand, he generates sales for the game companies as long as he keeps consooming. He's a leech that drains the resources of it's host only to eventually get eaten by the predator praying on the host itself.
... got carried away somewhat. What was I on about? Ah, yeah. Fuck forever players, especially the ones who think anyone owes them a game.

There's no fallacy, the OP made the argument I used, and it clearly illustrates just how dumb it is.

>>85506825

You don't know what this means. You've proven that several times.
>You can't possibly believe you are making an earnest argument, can you?
You call any earnest argument "bad faith". The answer is no, just because you paid for paper in binding doesn't mean you are entitled to use it it at every game you play it. That's the facts, a GM is 100% within their right to tell you to fuck off because they're the game MASTER and you're just a player. You have 0 say in the worldbuilding, setting, content allowed, houserules used, etc. unless he says you do, and he's said you don't.

No, I want to run a TTRPG and I want the setting to be internally consistent. There's no room in my setting for official races, as I only run 100% homebrew races in my settings that I myself have made. My setting exists as it is, and if you don't like that you can leave and find a new group.

I'm not perfect (the fact I have one system in active testing that has had its stat system overhauled twice now is evidence of that) but hey, at least I'm actually playtesting and taking the playtesters' suggestions into consideration unlike WOTC who just listened to grogs who wanted MUH OLD.

It's their firm belief that they're the victim, and you are not doing enough for them, despite going out of your way to host, set up, prepare, and run something for THEIR fucking entertainment.

It's not enough to pour your heart and soul into a creative activity for the enjoyment of a group of people you like, it's not enough to say you'll narrate them through whatever fucking retarded-ass choices they make, it's not enough to join in the fun when someone gets a great roll or pulls off something memorable that'll be spoken of for years to come.

You need to do it THEIR precise way.

And I fucking hate that more than anything else. It's a cancer that must be expunged from the hobby.

>invalidates my labor
Labor theory of value is a pile of horse shit. Value is determined by utility and demand.
>telling me my time has no value
The GM puts in far more work to a game than you, the player, will. By your own labor based metric, his time is far more valuable and his word has primacy, because he worked harder for this than you did. Demanding you be accommodated because you bought a book without checking to make sure it's approved for the game is invalidating his labor and telling him his invested time has no labor.

As a GM I am in high demand. As a player you are worth nothing. And at the end of the day even if I have zero players I can still run solo RPGS. Now bow to your king.

Post thread survey: On a scale of 1 to 10, how mad did you get when participating in this thread?

>invalidates my labor
Think of it this way, anon.
If you were going to play monopoly with your friends and you went to the game store and bought an extra pack of monopoly cash do you think they'd let you use that stack as your own personal bankroll at the start of the game?

>>85506653
>He doesn't understand macro inconsistency with micro consistency
The Forgotten Realms are inconsistent at every table but within every table the Forgotten Realms is consistent.

>>85510973
>main race
The only races and classes available by default are the ones in the player handbook. If it's in a splat you have to ask.
Aside from that though, Forgotten Realms are peak kitchen sink fantasy. Are you gonna throw a fit if the GM doesn't include every little thing like cramming a ton of shit in a blender to try and make a smoothie?

Because D&D is tabletop for normalfags. They watch critical role and see it as a perfect audience as attention seekers wanting to live our their self insert fantasties or mcuesque smoothmind drama.

Hasbro saw these consoomer cattle and jumped on it as a way to stay afloat as magic really started to decline in interest and sales compared to pokemon and yugioh and has basically curated an audience of emotionally unstable man and womanchildren as their core audience that consume product while getting excited for next product while being terminally online and ironically being unable to seperate games from reality.

Y'know looking back its funny how movies like mazes and monsters sold deluded trpg players as some satanic panic thing when it really happened and all we got was people in their 30's acting like tweens with undiagnosed ADHD.

>>85510973
You're playing in the parts where Tabaxi are common?
So, there is Tabaxi npc, but players can't pick it? What DM said about why the race is restricted?

The bottom line is determining does the group composition and what DM told you about campaign sound fun? If it doesn't just don't play, you won't enjoy it even if you somehow force your tabaxi in.

Because it sounds like DM and you having very different expectations of the adventure, and that never ends well.

>>85510973
The only reason you'd tell someone they can't play Tabaxi is if you're a racist chud.
Your DM sounds like a trumpster

is the broken ego OP still at it? nice, his bitching and mental gymnastics have made a dull day hilarious

>>85511302
hopefully he'll still be riled up during the rest of my shift so I will have someone to laugh about

>>85506416
Here we see the teenager try to buttress his position by 'helpfully' pointing out the point his post was SUPPOSED to make.

Protip, hot shot, if you have to explain the joke, you've already lost.

>>85511329
he is the lack of self awareness personified. I wonder if he's training for some olympic level of mental gymnastics

>>85505541
>dig that human fighters can't be interesting
Why can't humans be interesting? Why can't human fighters be interesting?

Forever GMs rise up! Day of the player purge, when?

>>85511608
There is no need. Players will always, no matter how they cry and beat their chests, be dependent on the GMs. Deep down they know that they're replaceable, and they hate it.

>I'm asking about an official Wizards of the Coast sourcebook,
It's official WoTC policy (that they publicly state within most sourcebooks) that the GM is free to ignore, reject, or modify any of the contents of their sourcebooks for any reason. According to Wizards own rules the GM is under no obligation to include their stuff just because its official.

>>85505196
No. Not at all.

Buying books for yourself means that you get to use them:
>When you're running the game
>When your DM/GM allows materials from them
Because that means it's either your call to begin with or it's their call what they want to allow in their game.

Instead of coming to /tg/ and asking what etiquette is, maybe you should communicate with your DM about whether they'd be interested in using additional sourcebooks. Being able to talk to everyone else in your group is a skill that is crucial to having a good time playing RPGs, because it's a social activity.

I get along with normal people just fine without resorting to any sort of coercion, most will repay courtesy with courtesy, those who don't are easily identified and avoided, so any reasonable goals can be attained through politeness, persistence, and hanging around the right sort of people.
At the table you are in entirely different territory though, social norms go out of the window because average gamer doesn't know, doesn't care, or is physically incapable of working with them. So you need to leverage your goals with force and as bluntly as possible, because that's often the only approach they understand.

>>85505236
Fpbp, OP wants validation for his faggotry.

>>85512053
your sock puppets don't count as normal people

>>85512053
>People engaged in a predominantly social activity don't understand social cues/don't view interacting with other people as a series of transactions
>To get what I want I will actively look for and/or create weaknesses I can exploit to force the people around me to bend to my will
Again, textbook psychopathic manipulative thinking and behavior. I sincerely hope you're just pulling a sad internet tough guy act. If you aren't, see a doctor. Your life will be made better for it.

the fact that he started a thread just to troll around and throw statements along the line of "mah value, mah validation, I are oppressed, mah GM slave" makes it quite obvious that no empathy can be grasped by his smoothbrain. he is indeed a sad delirious young man who has seen too many edgelords and is probably trying real hard to be one

>>85512078
agreed

>>85512286
The amount of anger OP caused is amazing.

>>85512384
while I can't speak for the rest, I can at least say that what keeps me here is amusement and not anger. I can't just not laugh at his trolling, mental gymnastics, and backwards logic.
he might have wanted to troll us for his own amusement, so I did as such and got a kick out of him and his bitchy attitude

>>85505196
If you tought you'll get a better answer here than you got on Reddit, I only hope you get tongue cancer with bone metastasizes so you won't be able to whine or write your idiotic ego trips.

Get fucked cunt!

>>85512494
so he pulled the same shit on reddit? why am I not surprised? was it as delusional as he was here?

>>85512494
>admitting to using reddit

>Gnomes are Freakshit
This meme tickles me

Basically, Gygax wanted there to be a fruitier race to point the people who wanted to play an elf or a halfling or dwarf for laughs so you're not wrong. Gnomes are indeed the designated ridiculous race.

>>85512494
You seem intensely angry.

>>85505329
>because managing 7 goddamn pdfs to plan an encounter is bullshit.
How is managing 7 physical books any better? Swapping tabs/windows seems much easier.

I actually agree with OP, the DM is denying him the fruits of his labor.

>>85512494
Reddit, telling someone that they're a faggot? I don't believe you, post screenshots or a link.

>>85512521
Exactly the same.

>>85512563
We all have guilty pleasures.

>>85512577
Of course I am. Reddit "D&D 5e only best game ever LOLSORANDOM" idiots started to creep even here. It's like finding rats in your pantry.

>>85512700
You should calm down.

>>85505196
Allow me to congratulate OP on his clearly very effective bait, and call everyone to took it retarded.

>>85505329
You know 5etools exist right?

>>85512700
Wait, which subreddit was that in? I scrolled through a few days' worth of posts on both dnd and dndnext and got nothing

>>85515507
You got tricked into reading reddit posts lol

>>85515636
Dang it. This fucking thread.
And yeah, scrolling through hundreds of pointless questions and clueless idiots, all posters apparently without access to google and ability to read long-form text, took it's toll on me.
>Where do I begin?
>How to get a group?
>How to start DMing?
>How to build a hexblade?
>Which books should I buy?
Over and over and over again... Jesus help these poor souls.

>>85505494
It does if the setting as written before that point did not include tabaxi as a species.

>>85508500
You let your players show up with absolutely nothing but snacks and beer and no character sheet?

>>85515846
If you took even a second to put effort into a single thing in your life and read the thread you would know it was Forgotten Realms.

ITT: Furry faggot is extra salty his freakshit isn't allowed in the game even when he's spent money on the book without discussing it with his DM first, because 'official book for official setting muh entitlement to fun from his game'.
Let me guess - you've already commissioned art of your character as well, didn't you?

>>85515992
You sound very upset.

Bump.

>>85515992
Doesn't base DnD already let you be a furry anyways?

>>85516453
> let you
None of 'well, your DM will most probably be okay with it' races in PHB are furry (one is scaly though).
Splats have a bunch - owls, hares, cats, sorta-lycanthropes and so on, but being splats those are definitely in the 'up to DM' territory even if they're setting-specific.

>>85516453
Yeah.

>>85516471
It's beside the point really, books have nothing to do with it, if DM wants a human-only campaign, he'll do human-only campaign, and it doesn't matter that dwarves and elves are in phb.

(It isn't good to not tell players about having race restrictions beforehand though)
