Session 0 gave the DM the prep time to nulify my class features.
What setting?
At the very least you can play into the fact you are essentially wiping out your own race
Why would the GM need preptime to nullify your class features? It's not like it takes a ton of time and effort to come up with "ranger's favored enemy types is super rare" if that was his goal.
Also fake and gay story, but it's Ganker so who cares.
But you recognize that's the fault of the GM, and not just the concept of Session 0s right? I mean, that's the type of stuff that is supposed to be in session 0. Not sure how he can explain the gist of the setting while leaving out something as massive as that.
Has nothing to do wih session 0, purely a shitty DM problem. Idiot.
haha you have a point
well if the DM had come with this on the fly it would be evident that he made the descision to target me,
but as it was over the next session, it resulted in me "making the mistake"
do you get it?
No, that conclusion is absolutely insane.
>well if the DM had come with this on the fly it would be evident that he made the descision to target me,
>but as it was over the next session, it resulted in me "making the mistake"
No, that's ridiculous. The point of session 0 is to avoid shit like this.
how is it your fault/mistake? He should have told you in session 0 when you said "my favored enemy is humans" that humans were exotic and rare. Him not saying it just makes it seem more like he did it on purpose which is really weird because ranger is fucking dogshit and doesn't need a nerf basically ever.
Is the GM's faut, retard
Session 0 is for both players and GM to lay their cards on the table
In session 0 the GM explains the setting, the begining of how the party came to be, the hooks for the plot, what it's allowed and not allowed, what he expects the game to be
The players come up with their characters, characters who have to fit in that setting
Not only did this not happen, but it's an example of the sort of stupid thing you have a session 0 to prevent. Albeit not a good one.
>be GM
>running session 0
>everyone is cool except edgy human ranger who takes favoured enemy: humans
>decide to fuck with him for lulz
>he quits
>everyone else has a good time
Session 0 works.
gatekeeping much?
Filtering cunts is not gatekeeping. That's vetting. Know the fucking difference.
It's the same as with basic vetting tool that's inviting players prior to first game to talk and organise things with a pint of cold one. If they don't show up - you've just got rid yourself of cunts, flakes, underages and alcoholics.
>alcoholics
But....You're the alcoholic in this scenario???
Nobody wants to have "a pint of cold one" but you.
Gatekeeping is a meme, vetting players is not a meme.
Learn the difference.
>Be dm, see the gay players not have a single human and be playing nothing freak shit all the time to try and game the system
>decide to flip the game on them...Do EVERYONE All freakshit all the time. Play the freakshit as the cringiest way possible at every chance.
>Make humans and non freak races utterly super rare and exotic if not extinct.
This has genuine possibilities to screw with the players
Don't threaten me with a good time, I'm a mutant earthworm
>Don't threaten me with a good time
If the dm makes every single npc into a cringe caricature of the freak characters to nonstop mock their choices...it might not go well.
I’m going to assume you’re playing 5e based off the fact that you are a total retard
>ranger
Garbage class so favored enemy wasn’t doing you any favors.
Now, why exactly did the setting of the game not come up in session 0? The whole idea of it is to discuss expectations and clear up any restrictions the game has
Cars were a mistake
>Be me, a driver
>Want to buy car
>Pick car I like, talk with the car dealer
>Day of me buying car
>Car driver gives me a cardboard box
Wanting to buy a car gave the car dealer the prep time to not selling me a car and sell me a cardboard box instead
>OP is a lying cunt, inventing situations that never happened, just to have something to bitch about
More news at 11!
if its a real session zero you would then ask what races populate their setting and swap your favoured enemy to one of those because its session 0 and the game hasn't started yet.
Cause session 0's are usually there so you don't fuck up by picking an obscure enemy for your class's feature.
having said that, nice fake story, heres a >You
>>made a ranger
I'm not convinced this actually happened.
No one would be dumb enough to believe that session zero is responsible for their GM trolling them.
Christ your shit even at being an inflammatory dick head OP, how can someone be this much of a failure?
This "story" lost me when it implied Slop&Sloppers have the patience for a Session 0. They need their slopclass features ASAP so they can actually start playing the game, man!!
You could've not done session 0, play session 1 and thr GM do that at session 2.
Nothing you said is an issue of session 0, adversarial GMs exist everywhere in every shape, form and autism.
