[tabletop rp] did I ever tell you about the time that we were banned from playing D&D with a couple of our friends from the VTM group because we "roleplayed too much?"

→ yard sard
these were friends from the group that we played White Wolf (and LARPed, lololol) with

→ yard sard
one of our other friends from the group started a D&D game, so we decided to join in

→ yard sard
but APPARENTLY... White Wolf games are for roleplaying and D&D is not

→ yard sard
they were weirdly quiet and crabby through the whole game, and we didn

𝓟𝓢𝓛☕📔𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
... Really?

→ yard sard
didn't find out until it was over that they were PISSED at us

→ yard sard
totally annoyed

→ yard sard
said they were never playing in a D&D game with us again

→ yard sard
said that we "played D&D like it was White Wolf"

→ yard sard
sooooo lmfao

𝓟𝓢𝓛☕📔𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
What a charming and mature group of people.

→ yard sard
yep.

→ yard sard
they were a couple that we happily decided we were okay never interacting with again if we could help it

→ yard sard
I am just still flabbergasted by it to this day

→ yard sard
it's not like they didn't like to roleplay in their games. they played with us weekly in the LARP and whenever someone started a White Wolf game

→ yard sard
but apparently that is NOT how you play D&D. and they were so pissed off and appalled by it that they glowered through the whole game and told the DM that they were leaving after the first session

→ yard sard
because they couldn't stand that we were RPing and having fun??? and developed our characters??? idek

𝓐𝓿𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓴𝓪
STOP HAVING FUN YOU GUYS

→ yard sard
by how they acted, they could not believe what we'd done gfhdjk

→ yard sard
YEAH idek

→ yard sard
it was just the usual starting sesion of D&D, where your characters are getting to know each other and gearing up for their first adventure

→ yard sard
seemed like a place for rp to me idk

Bhaalspawn
spoilers to them, D&D is tabletop rp

RP

yeah wtf my D&D group is having all kinds of fun with the RP aspect, idk what their problem is

aj
omfg yeah D&D can be.... some amazing RP... just like white wolf

aj
I DON'T UNDERSTAND FOLKS WHO GET INTO TABLETOP RP FOR THE MINMAXING COMBAT oh myg od

→ yard sard
looks at Adventure Zone

aj
just go play a scripted video game at that point

→ yard sard
for real

→ yard sard
i'd just... never known anyone to react so violently toward being rped with gfdhkj

→ yard sard
and they acted like there was this unspoken rule that we carelessly violated

Bhaalspawn
not there's literally a written rule that this is an RP game

MOVED
rofl woooow guys

MOVED
like the level of RP varies from group to group but

MOVED
it's very much part of the game????

MOVED
spoilers dudes: there's no one right way to play D&D

Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
... last night's D&D included the party killing two trolls, and then visiting a travelling carnival where our rogue paid to ride on a triceratops, the ranger shopped for pretty scarves, and then we tracked down an escaped allosaurus and then the druid pet it and sent it on its way to live free.

Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
I think we're doing okay.

→ yard sard
lmfaooooo....

→ yard sard
that's amazing. and that couple would have stormed out, I'm sure.

??????

Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
their loss

Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
we got to pet dinosaurs

→ yard sard
and yeah lol... everybody has their own style. but we played with them regularly in other games and it was alwsys a big rp spectacular.

→ yard sard
but that was apparently only allowed in white wolf and we should have known that, gosh

Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
(truly, it was the DM graciously allowing a circumstance to justify letting my druid turn into an allosaurus. But it was still delightful.)

→ yard sard
fhjgfhjf

MOVED
yeah in my last D&D session, my DM had to come up with a spontanous play for the characters to act into since half our groups are rogue and bard types who saw a potential fight and went "nah bro"

MOVED
and left to go get disguises instead

aj
it's weird to be running werewolf because doing like vanilla WOD so long

aj
there .... wasn't a lot of combat. it was just a shitton of storytelling.

Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
we kill a lot of people. That's not all we do.

aj
then last weekend we had a like thirty minute fight against four Claimed and everyone kept rolling one success.

aj
and then john bounced off the top of a speeding car in wolf form.
