Games thread!

I hear something along these lines pretty often, what is it about the Rogue class which seems to attract drama queens? I would have thought they'd go for Barbarians instead.

[(Anonymous)]

Idk to me this does a very neat, quick job of telling me what kind of book it is - it's one where the author is a Brand who can put out loads and loads of books with a consistent style and level of quality. The level of quality might not be high but you know what you're getting into. And I respect that kind of output, and if you vibe with the author you can get a lot of consistent books out of it.

[(Anonymous)]

But what if you've never read a single book from this author and you know nothing about them? Would you buy that book? I wouldn't.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, barbarians attract people who don't mind playing a "dumb" or "uncivilized" character compared to the rest of the setting. Rogues meanwhile attract people who want to play a character that's in theory smarter and more cunning than others with a built in reason to act selfish if they want.

Obviously not all rogue players are drama queens, but drama queens and the "excuse me ma'am i am a sigma male" types tend to like the latter thing.

[(Anonymous)]

If their vibe / style was something that seemed interesting to me, absolutely I would read that book. Maybe try and get one from the library first before buying or something but I do that regardless.

[(Anonymous)]

Whereas I have never encountered this at all. The most disruptive players I've known all tend to multiclass and make weird bespoke characters.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I don't disbelieve you. Plenty of different kinds of drama players out there.

"Chaotic Neutral Rogue" is a dnd player stereotype for a reason, though. You'll find lots of DMs are wary of it.

[(Anonymous)]

I miss Melanie.

I haven't even watched season four yet but I miss Melanie.

[(Anonymous)]

In the same vein, I'm so beyond tired of bards being played as those super annoying 24/7 horny "will flirt with and fuck everything tee hee" unfunny running gag characters.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah.

(Some) people (who are bad at roleplaying) play rogues because they want to PvP the rest of the party. Just like some people play bards because they want to role to fuck every opposite-gender NPC they see, or play wizards because they want to be officially smarter than the rest of the party, or play paladins because they want to roleplay their character being a huge smug asshole to the rest of the party.

Actors you like, Roles you don't

[philstar22]

What are your least favorite roles of your favorite actors? Or actors you usually love but there is that one role that just doesn't work for you?

[(Anonymous)]

The large publishers only switch over to that style of cover when the author has become enough of a Name that they assume "people who recognize the author" is a large enough customer base that they don't care about people who don't. With big authors you can actually time when they got to that point, if you have enough first printings through their career.

(if someone is doing that on selfpub/smallpub books, well, they probably can't be helped.)
