If the players are cool with it that's fine. You made it seem like you were being a dick for your benefit, not everyone's.

It was actually for my benefit, but it was an intended part of the game, too. Especially near the end of my time playing RPGs, most of the scenarios were really Machiavellian and backstabbing, with lots of in-game politics. I only got legitimately hated in one game, where I was essentially brought in by the GM as a ringer and didn't know anyone else. They got actually assblasted about it, which I found hilarious. The GM actually really did want me to do this, though. As a sample of actual asshole behavior, I jumped into a fight right before the death blow, vulched the guy's kill, then constantly boasted about how I had actually killed the monster even though I had been hiding for most of the fight.

(That character got rewarded by the Big Bad murdering him when he was no longer useful and seriously had it coming.)

I had to be removed from that role because it became too obvious when one of my PCs showed up that betrayal was nearly inevitable. Since we were friends, we would generally laugh about whenever someone finally killed me. I was really proud of the paladin one, though, because the character was actually psychologically traumatized by going that far against his ethics.

See, I was envisioning the type of cunt who would do this to people who were not cool with it; it's a bit different when you're actually pals and it's a part of the game's basic spirit

In tabletop related news, I actually understand how to create Battletech characters now. I made a Chinese railroad worker who also is a master at making and fixing myomer (artificial muscles) due to how it does optimization. Good system once you get it, and I know of a guy who really wants to try and get a game going.

In game news, I was part of a select team of men who slaughtered the dread Blarb; Mother of the Hoard. Killing blow was a rainbow burst from our Memory Smith after our Privateer Illusionist and Sun Cleric lit her up like a torch, our Dread Necromancer sapped her strength, Fighter-Rogue climbed his way into her head, and I decapitated her.

Draconis Combine?
 
Independent using House Liao as a template; he's an exoskeleton operator who basically builds space stations, recharge points, and nav guides for space trade. He's working in the Periph for a failing company and may or may not be recruited by a bank along with other operatives to "Collect Debts" as it is. Capellians are more likely than Kurita, well as of right now.

Game kind of is molded based on the players, but favors Wild West/Firefly themes.
 
Which mech are you looking to pilot and armament?
I used to play back in the 90's. As well played Mechwarrior 2-3 and the card game (used to use a Redline Pilot/ Prometheus deck)

Tabletop wise (Battletech RPG: A Time of War is the version I'm playing); I'm mainly gonna be using just a plain ol' civvie battle suit... which has a few mods to allow me to fight. Dunno what the others would do since so far I'm the only guy out of the seven people the DM asked about who wants to play this.

I'm going to look into it a bit later, because I kinda want to play as a meth-making space redneck.
EDIT: or as Mel Gibson, who was cryogenically frozen in 2031 and revived hundreds of years later as an advanced cyborg for a mega-corps "Hollywood Theme Park". He got pissed off to learn that there are still Jews in the 31st century, and now roams the galaxy with his trusty claymore and film camera, determined to keep the Jews from stealing his precious dollarydoos.

I used to enjoy playing as either an Aerospace fighter or mechwarrior myself. I used to only play during the pre-clan era or during the Clan war, never anything past it because I could never find a game. If I couldn't get into a Daishi A Direwolf or similar model, I'd take a Glass Spider for long range support during the clan wars. Wasn't a fan of the second model because it became a medium range mech.

I came across a really cool podcast called 25 Years of Vampire the Masquerade. It's a retrospective on the series that's covering each book in order it was released. But, it also gives excellent advice and stories that can be used in running other games.

Tbh I'm a sucker for WoD podcasts because there's a lot of stuff to be discussed and a lot of different opinions and material that provides excellent fodder for various discussions and/or just laughing at it.
 
Is it poor form for two characters to be ripoffs of the Mario brothers if we're covert about it?

Specifically as portrayed by Captain Lou and Danny Wells, as that is the best portrayal of the two.
 
So, I'm readying a game of 3.5 where you guys play members of a mercenary group in a classical/ancient world. So far we have a semi-civilized shepherd from the tribes outside of Hella, a pankration champion, and a skirmisher hailing from the north of Hispania, in the lands of the Dvaati (basically Basques but as a race). It's a 32 point buy for those interested.

Starting level is 3, and expect some level of espionage given current membership.

That's pretty tempting, but I've a few things on at the moment.

Turns out that Deadlands character did really poorly on Spirit, which is basically SAN from Call of Cthulu. It's gonna be interesting to say the least.

Do you need Awakening 2e?

I have it, however due to its complicated nature and lack of an f.a.q. (thanks lolOPP) I think I'll stick to ascension for the time being.

I'm not really digging the whole online role-playing though, call me old fashioned I guess. I've played in a few roll 20 games and some discord stuff and I'm really not feeling it.

It's good if you live in place where people are too busy for gaming like me, but I would much rather be around physical people and roll physical dice.
