wow OSR styled games are soo fun guys!
Its called toxic GMs.
Get out of there.
Duh.
makes sense
>toxic
lol
imagine using that word unironically and thinking you arent the problem
lmao
Fairly certain when you are in group of people whom almost tear out each other throat before you leave, you aren't the problem, I been in one of those /misc/tard groups, term toxic is accurate, as they are trying to slowly kill each other.
The fact that you find yourself there, an improbable and stupid made-up situation, and the fact that you talk like a twitter-bot, and lie about shit you've never played, all seem to loop back into you being a low quality human.
You're the only common denominator there, and here, where you stink up a thread.
Go take a shower.
>toxic
>term is accurate
Is a dweeb word used by pathetic dweebs. Your vocabulary betrays where you spend your time and what is influencing you. Get it together
>things that never happened
>games that were never played
Please return to twitter, nogames election tourist.
>Its called toxic GMs.
>toxic
The word you're looking for is "shit", he was a "shit GM", other acceptable answers include "brainlet", "sperg' or " shit eater"
>Big nogames energy
Or maybe the Tard who kept spamming to try and make "freakshit" catch on as a term finally put his money where his mouth is and ran a game.
Are you aware of how incredibly touchy you sound?
I agree with the first part, but the second part does sound touchy.
>implying what actually happens in the game is about the system
Yeah nah that dude is going to be a shit head no matter what game he is playing.
Big nogames energy
I think the GM is in the wrong here, partially. It's okay to roll up any race, but there should be a reaction appropriate to your race from locals. From a predominantly human realm and if you're an especially strange creature, you could expect some discrimination.
However, the GM should have given you an OOC warning before submitting your character, instead of wasting your time.
In an alternate universe:
>"Hey GM is it okay if I play a Kobold"
>"Ye but dey's gunna kill ya"
>"Okay, I'll make something else"
or
>"Ah soz game's not for me then"
Stop being moronic
I up the ante with this story.

This was 5E.
Sounds every bit as bullshit and boring as any 5e game.
I love the "the guard/shopkeeper turned out to be a high level adventurer" trope, it's such a sign of bad DMing.
Not town or city guard should be stronger than a lvl 3 fighter, and even then that's rare, the captain or something. Guards pose a threat due numbers/consequences rather than being all that powerful by themselves. They're town guards.
I've used it only once myself, but that's because it was in a magical flying city and the shop was literally selling high powered magical artifacts the shopkeep wizard made as a hobby and it was made blatantly clear the dude was more than an ordinary shopkeep with the repeated and casual use of high level magic he was doing while the PCs were browsing.
Dickass thief still tried to rob him.
The idea of a town guard is shit.
yeah it's unrealistic innit just imagine a basic part of civilization being having some sort of organisation that physically enforces it's laws, or polices the population if you will
There definitely weren't large standing police forces of peasants who could afford to dick around doing nothing in small medieval towns. At best you can get a sheriff and couple deputies with more citizens deputized in times of needs.
I think town guard is more of a... you know, town thing. As in, town = city, not "small medieval villages".
just like a lot of tropes, it can work if it's done well.
If the DM makes the fat shopkeeper go from buffon to pouncing ubercharger in one round, that's clearly bullshit.
If it's setup that the shopkeeper used to be an adventurer; that's both a warning not to frick with the guy and an opportunity to ask him things a normal shopkeeper wouldn't know and maybe try to pull favors
I was in a game once where I tried to convince a general store shopkeep to give us a discount on a bulk purchase before we set off to a nearby dungeon. For context this is some rustic, rural village with <1000 population. I explain that we'd advertise this guy's wares to other adventurers, and that we'd come back for more business, all truthful things. I don't even get to roll persuasion the DM just decides all shopkeepers are video game npcs who are hard coded to only sell goods at PHB prices and can never be convinced to even throw in a free torch even with a 100 gp purchase.
I decided to cast Charm Person on the shopkeeper so I could attempt to finagle a discount, and the visibly upset DM ruled that, before my character could even finish the casting, the shopkeeper had looked at me, realized I was casting a spell, realized I was casting a spell at him, realized I was casting an enchantment spell at him, and he had vaulted over the countertop (not difficult terrain, no acrobatics check needed) and he was sprinting out the door and towards the nearest town guard while yelling for help. He was also far enough away that I could not possibly target him with the spell (even though I had 40 move speed and the shopkeeper was a halfling)
Meanwhile I run a game where the party finds much glee in setting businesses on fire if the business owner pisses them off. And I'm all for it. I don't give a shit. Do what you want.
Dnd mindset
I think the point of my story is that these kinds of player/DM shopkeep interactions transcend systems
It sounds like they don’t know how to make shops. Small towns have nothing of value while shops with worthwhile wares have top tier security. But dnd absolutely has the most broken magic spells that can screw up any interaction, so it certainly doesn’t help
God. How awful. I could feel the scene. I’m fine goblins or drow or whatever being treated with suspicion. But it shouldn’t take over the game. A good DM can find a talk off or excuse for the town to be willing to be civil for their benefit.
The thing that pisses me off the most was how he tricked me into going into the town in the first place with the two guards then doing everything in his power to frick me over. As mentioned before the only reason why I survived was because the DM's pet wanted to save me. This wouldn't be the first or last time he tried to frick me over.
Why did you continue playing with that guy?
I was new and didn't know better at the time but this was the moment when I started thinking to myself maybe this DM is full of shit.
No actually. One of the then managers and now owner of the shop this was all taking place it. Could have been because he wanted free MtG packs or something so he played nice with him.
>DMs pet
>healed you
Let me guess, it’s a 6/10 female who multiple people in the group want to bang. The DM is an autistic loser of the loudmouth variety
Huh? I’m sorry to tell you but this is the exact dynamic that shows up when you have a woman in a group for nerd hobbies. All the losers compete for attention by being passive aggressive dickheads.
You sound like a poster child for the type of people you're describing.
Ok, imagine whatever boogie man you need. I’m just saying it’s a bad idea to have single women in a group of nerds, esp nerds who aren’t getting laid. Because you end up with people being dickheads, which comes out as this type of passive aggressive behavior in a lot of losers. It’s not the only way you get it, but it’s a big one.
Don't try to reason with him, he's a very prolific homosexual who posts generic insults and stale memes against anyone making a post even tangentially critical of women irrespective of context. Some kind of bot may be involved.
>>DM has no choice because NAT 20
Even the DM must bow to the holy NAT 20. 5% chance to succeed at literally anything
It’s not even a bad idea to add an attack or attempted arrest from an overzealous/goblin hating town member. Shit, he could’ve said a “humans against monsters” style cult was popular in town and they were stalking you. But there’s just too much stupid bullshit being thrown in there, it betrays his intentions. Kind of a shame, a lot of that sounded like it could be cool given a non dickhead DM
It could have been a fun chase sequence of trying to get out of town even if I failed at what I wanted to get.
He made sure to specifically mention how my tongue is cut out, describing how he chopped off my hands and broke both my legs because I was a spellcaster.
Dude just long rest lmao.
Resting and normal healing spells specifically do not repair severed body parts
>>Get mutilated to the point I would have to retire my character
Dude just have a long rest lmfao
>Only move 30 feet because I didn't specify the "dash" action
Oh my fricking god, I would have abandoned the game at this point. The DM was an ex-3e 'DM' wasn't he.
>gets btfo in his other bait threads about being a shitter in osr
>i know i’ll make a thread about a situation that didn’t happen and if it did it was due to the DM being bad and i’ll say it’s osr’s fault because I’m a troony who gets mad that other people like things that I don’t.

Alone were you too, based on your description.
If you had ever actually played games, you'd know RPGs are usually played with multiple players.
that's called a shitty GM, find a new group to play with.
Kobolds are evil monsters that attack on sight. The townsfolk were lucky to catch you sleeping.
You sound real fun.
You don't
>Be kobold cleric
>Be actively avoided and or dismissed in most social contexts because of a general and largely justified stigma of kobolds being stupid and disruptive frickups
>Play into that role because it's an interesting challenge and overcoming the intrinsic flaws of his species was the entire premise of the character
It's almost like most problems arise from players and GMs just being fricking stupid and having no taste for what the point of these games even is
This is the only good post in the thread so I'm going to respond to it and seethe about my group.

stop being a furgay.
>OSR styled games
>kobold paladin
WTF that's not OSR.
If you speak true why would you think this board would care and show pity for you? Regardless if you're kobold cleric was represented by pic related or one of the lewd descendants of the cutebold most anons of this board would choose to deride you either delving into another repeated discussion about the depictions of kobolds in folklore and TTRPGs, why to even bother with using non-human races when compared to the dynamic nature of humans, and of course furgays regardless if there was any concrete reason to summon them other than a picture of a beastman being posted. I don't have much to say about your kobold cleric being in an OSR game, assuming you did partake in a game anyways as we all have reasons to doubt your few words as OP, maybe there's a supplement out there that permitted it or the fellow running your game was more lenient about what races players could choose but when discussing OSR here most will only think of the "Big Four" and mentioning playing any other race will arouse suspicion and usually just result in the aforementioned deriding of your person.
Your DM is at fault but not for the reason you think. He let you play a LAWFUL GOOD Kobold. What the frick.
If this did not happen, you're pathetic for making shit up on a mongolian war footage collection forum.
If this did happen, you're pathetic for putting up with the DM's shit and not punching his face in.
Your party just let you get killed?
>OSR style game
>playing a kobold
KYS moron
>aligements are cosmic forces as GM says so
I'm pretty sure this should read as: You misunderstand the GM.
All the pieces fall into place if that is the case. And ofcourse OP will think he is correct... but... you know, if he wasn't...
If you play freakshit you should be prepared to be treated like freakshit
Why'd you go to the human village? Do you think a good aligned kobold village that was at odds with evil humans would let a random human into their town without issue?
You know most of these towns would likely have monster bounties right? Even if they're good, I'd wager they'd have some kind of bounty for like a kobalds tail or something.
This tbh. I give fair warning to my players.
humans are neutral and immigration is an evil action
makes perfect sense
based GM
this but unironically
serves you right for making non human character
why was this normalized in the first place
>Halfway through the show "trial" drop the disguise and reveal myself as an Aasimar, testing the townspeople for goodness of heart
>Cast Tongues to reprimand the town for their violence against one who showed no ill intent
>Cast a Geas on the local lord for his prideful and wrathful ways
>Cast Insect Plague upon their fields
>Leave
>>go to human town to stock up on supplies and sleep for 1 day
>>get killed by humans cuz I was a non human
Nobody who has ever actually played an RPG would describe the death of their character like this. If you're going to make up stories, no-games, why don't you at least make up an interesting one?
average 5e party is basically 2e random encounter
Should have given some kid near town a gold piece so he would tell the locals you saved his life. Works like a charm against pitchfork and torches villagers. "I hate your race, but you... you're alright! Let's celebrate the kid not dying by getting drunk together, mister Kobold!"
