food court bailiff posted:In a perfect world everyone would play Dungeon World but I think the fact that it's so rules-light means it relies a lot more on genre/trope assumptions that people new to tabletop games wouldn't be familiar with. Still, worth a shot, and everyone has a couple D6s laying around. If you're all goddamned adults you should be capable of handling the presence of what are basically character-driven sex jokes. They're a useful weirdo filter if nothing else.

UWBW posted:I know I'm gonna regret posting this because this one's on me, but whatever. I went to a local card/game shop with a buddy of mine who had been there many times before. I had never been, but we were going to be playing D&D for the first time and I was gonna be buying my very own set of dice. I was unbelievable stoked. The girl behind the register is pretty cute, but I'm just talking with my buddy and not really paying attention to the transaction. You ain't in the wrong here, and thanks for sharing this sort of thing. My local nerd poo poo place has a really bad problem with stalky clerks. I don't really want to talk about stuff when I'm just killing time shopping, but they seem to take every pull-this-down-and-look-at-it as an opportunity to launch into a conversation about the multiverse associated with whatever I've picked up, and they don't seem to take "I'm just browsing" or "I've never seen it" for an answer. I've stopped going because I never actually wanted any of the stuff that was on sale, I just liked looking at it, and every single time I'd be talked at by the kind of person who constantly and overtly stares at your girlfriend's chest.

omnibobb posted:You're the weirdo in several peoples stories, aren't you? If you look around the game store and can't see the weirdo, it's you. PCOS Bill posted:Guy talk is for any time two guys talk, bro. Unclench a little. Aww, poor little snowflake can't take even the slightest amount of indirect criticism. If your idea of "guy talk" is telling random strangers that you'd totally do that girl, you need to find actual friends.

Len posted:Maybe she wore that top because she could trust it to distract the creepy nerd on the other side of the table I mean, look at the responses from some of folks in this thread. It'd work on them, no matter how enlightened or woke or meta aware they're claiming to be.

magikid posted:I'm really trying to imagine this guy's version of the story. Eh, digging up an overleveled enemy seems like you short-circuited his ultra-clever finely-tuned railroad and he just decided to, rather than wing it and put something else there, keep his enemy layout exactly as it was and kill you off.

mind the walrus posted:This was exactly how he played it off. "If I were you guys I'd have gone North to fight the bandits you heard about" and "I just lay out my world and let my players interact with it for good or ill." What a totally poo poo DM. I can smell the World of Warcraft on him from here.

Golden Bee posted:r/rpg is SURPRISINGLY pro-PbTA now. The top posts are usually "Go with it" or "Talk to the player OOC you dumbass." It's really hard to not love that system, if just for how over-the-top the fighter classes always are in every variant I've seen (but also the fact that it genuinely tries to tell the GM what to loving do which has always been a problem in DnD and the like).

Rhyno posted:You see it a lot in gaming. Dude started wearing anime t-shirts with clear depictions of children on them. He got a new girlfriend later that year and she had a 4 year old daughter. Arrests, right? Like, full on arrests that happened before anything went wrong and no-one got hurt and he's in mandatory therapy / jail now, right?

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:I walked into the local fetid nerd dungeon with my VERY ATTRACTIVE wife and BOTH of her huge boobs on one of the rare occasions when she has an off-day from lingerie modeling. As the disgusting hamdemon rang up my Funko Pops while leering at her DD cups he casually asked me if I was going to have sex with my "very attractive wife" (his words not mine!). Thank god she didn't leave one behind this time
