I've gamed with another player who mentioned MLP as a joke, but it wasn't really that bad because he didn't do it in the middle of things. It was just something like 'X is magic' and someone else made a quip about Fluttershy . I don't really care if people bring up things like that so long as it doesn't break flow and people don't bring fetishes into it.

Most of the time the people I've gamed with were fairly balanced. I mean, at one point a lot of people were in their edgy stupid phase, but that can mostly be worked around if the DM is sane enough. From what I've gathered, a cringy DM is worse than a cringy player, because they control where things go...
 
Not sure if this is late news but, David Hill has left Onyx Path over White Wolf hiring his cyber bully Zak Smith.
 
Yeah, his fanboys are whining on the forums about it. Meanwhile Zak Sabbath has been denying the claims he's ever harassed anyone. Given the way Onyx Path is run, they wouldn't have hired him if he's ever harassed anyone. So it seems to me David just had a person grudge against him because Vampire the Masquerade being more popular than The Changeling

Also, has anyone ever visited their forums? Holy shit. I don't know if what I could come up with could give how bad it is any justice.

That being said.

Has anyone tried Leviathan The Tempest fan project?

I played with a new female player who kept on saying she was going to rape NPC's. Interesting times.

This is weirdly not that uncommon a thing- ive seen a few girls who when playing for sthe first time become outright sex predators. It happens particuliarly when they play male characters and i've no idea why it occurs. Bizzarre.

It can be amusing or it can ruin a game completely depending on the tone of the campaign.
 
She was playing a female character. I don't think it ruined the game as everyone at the table just burst out laughing (luckily I haven't played with any SJW's or feminists before). It was just a one time thing since as usual, the majority of the players just got busy again.

I just hope my next Pathfinder game can last more than a day. The last five haven't.

@Yaoi Huntress Earth can probably back me up but the classic wod section isn't that bad, it's the Nwod section and off topic where the Sjw and their enablers dwell. Just avoid the usual trigger words (lot of militant trans people not transtrenders) and you will be fine.
 
I've got a funny DnD home brew story.

We had decided to start up an OPplznerf campaign using characters from a previous campaign who hit the level 20 wall. The party went through this Academy thing that unlocked their abilities to go higher and higher in level. One of the characters in party was an elven mage who had dumped all of his stats except intelligence. He was a sickly, frail, uncharismatic, and incredibly dimwitted elf that could wreck your shit with mind bullets. At his belt was a satchel of rocks, minerals, and the essences of various elements. When casting physical summon spells, like having a rock from somewhere else fly and hit something, he would reach into the bag and grab whatever it was he wanted to have thrown.

If this is confusing, I do apologize because I wasn't quite paying attention. The player of this wizard had the worst body odor I've ever come across and I spent more time just keeping my airways clear than listening.

We get to this museum place about 3/4 of the way through the campaign. As a rogue, I stole everything not nailed down and handed off some of the more magical stuff to the wizard while the paladin player argued with the GM over arresting me.

One of the things I gave was a chunk of lunar ore. During a fight, he does a physical summon and throws the chunk of lunar ore at some beast outside BBEG's castle. Nothing happens, and we proceed to finish killing it. The mage player, Mike, proceeds to argue with the GM over his spell not having any effect. GM checks behind the screen and says, "Oh, no, it's working, just not quite yet." Mike shrugs and we continue into the castle.

We make it to the final boss, go through the monologue and start fighting. About halfway in, the sky suddenly darkens and the air heats up with an incredible roaring. We look up. Here comes the moon in a fucking colony drop. The chunk of rock thrown at the beast caused the planets moon to come crashing down. TPK, naturally, and the world ended in a cataclysm as yet unseen.

Found out later ithis was intentional on the GM's part. Mike had spent most of the sessions power gaming and ruining the GM's fun, so he pulled off a classic, "rocks fall and everyone dies" on a grand scale.

Is it on par with body odor, rotten milk, KFC and "unknown" smell this one game store I use to go to to play Magic had?

I can only describe is at roughly equivalent to the smell of used cooking left out for two weeks. I found out later that he only bathed like twice maybe three times a month.
 
That's pretty bad. This play really only smelled bad because you would get around 50 or more people into a store all to play Magic or something else. Then like two or three stores down you'd have a KFC and since the air ducts lead to other stores you'd smell that too.

You'd maybe get two or three guys who would be the typical smelly gamer to ruin your day.

Another play I used to game at only smelled like old books, dust and 80's collectables. Would have smelled worse, but luckily the bathroom door was always closed and no one willingly used it.

The FLGS that he went to actually banned him,because he left visible grease marks on everything he came into contact with. I don't mean skin contact either. His clothes left the same grease as his skin did. The straw that broke my back was when he came by my place in an oddly stained pair of sweatpants. Told him to GTFO. Never saw him intentionally again.
 
God, I played Pathfinder with a guy who was like almost seven feet tall and probably around 400lbs or more and he never smell or even sweated a lot. I think the worse someone smelled in one of my groups was someone who thought Axe smelled good and just drenched himself in it.
 
The FLGS by me has quarterly auctions that have a habit of drawing out the worst basement dwellers for rpg & collectable night. Guys that take up two folding chairs and have guts that almost hang down to their knees.
 
I've been looking into Leviathan, doesn't seem too bad. Wish there was a pdf for it instead of just an online document for it.

For a modern RPG forum, those guys are pretty mellow.

As a member of Onyx Path's forums, I can agree with this statement. The worst thing you have to worry about in the Classic World of Darkness sub-forum are metaplot purists. It's the Off-Topic and Chronicles of Darkness sub-forums that are littered with SJW wackos.
 
So Old World of Darkness area is good, but stay away from Off-Topic and anything to do with New World of Darkness. Looking up the thing about Zak and David, I just seen a lot of "yes men" who believe everything David tells people. The same people who too much of a fanboy of NWoD to see the glaring problems with each games fluff and crunch.

Funny story about the whole Zak S. controversy.

In all honesty, I don't care for either David or Zak (David Hill is an SJW and Zak Sabbath is an asshole by most accounts), but I really dislike Martin Ericsson, finding him to be a insufferable and pretentious edgelord douchebag. And I don't like his decision to continue the Revised metaplot in his new vision for WoD (especially after V20 and W20 took a more acceptable neutral stance on the metaplot).

Before, whenever I complained about Ericsson or the metaplot, I would get scorn from WoD purists who are total autists in their dedication to WoD's "themes" and its rather railroading and intrusive poorly-written metaplot. Now with the Zak S. controversy, I can bash Ericsson and the rather stupid decisions New White Wolf is taking all I want and get praise for it. I know that makes me sound like I'm being an asshole (and I probably am in this particular instance) but Onyx Path Forums is a rather fucked up community. Not as bad as RPG.net, but it can get toxic at times. Especially in the aforementioned Off-Topic and Chronicles of Darkness boards where the SJW mob mentality is king.

As others have stated, including myself, just stick to the Classic World of Darkness boards. The worst thing you have to deal with over there are metaplot spergs, and they're easily ignored and nowhere near as odious as the militant SJW's.
