This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How do you roleplay? (Forked from Narrative thread)

Quote from: Phillip;863446If that extended example doesn't jar the dude's solipsism, it's probably hopeless. If he really wants to play with himself, he's missing the point of the game.

I DMed with this guy last year and for all intents and purposes I might as well have not said a thing as he was off in his own world and reacted to nothing I said or described, and over-wrote everything. Suffice to say I didnt RP with that fellow again. I played it through to the end just to see how long hed keep it up. All of the session.

Fuck it. Never mind. This is an older thread than I realized.

I often find that players who complain about "common sense" or "what you consider reality" or "it only makes sense for the Atom Bomb would be in the microwave..." are group-jumpers who don't get along with anyone and want the world to desperately adopt their outlook.

Kind of like every special snowflake ever that inserts {random appendage} into the {random hole} of everyone they meet.

I.E. Perpetually butt-hurt people a) make terrible friends and b) even worse players.

If the only viable communication method you can muster is whining, passive aggressive pouting, or temper-tantrums you should head back to pre-school for a social refresher. Come to think of it, there might be a market there...
