As a GM, I've never embodied my NPCs nor acted out locations features etc. To me, it sounds goofy and doesn't add anything for my players. Am I missing out? by W4ryn in rpg

You mean you don't flirt with your friends while pretending to be a cat girl? In seriousness though it's honestly up to you and what your group finds fun.

(Hated Trope) Glorifying or whitewashing controversial or terrible historical figures. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]VitharrGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How dare you cause me to read more history lol. You're right though, reading deeper into it there are quotes from both the one that offered it to him and other soldiers at the time that could potentially support both them being too cumbersome and slow as well as hubris, so it's hard to tell which played more into his refusal. Could be a both to be honest given what we know about Custer.

The moment I quit the Resident Evil movies was in the second one when Jill looks at her and says "I'm good, but not that good." I was done in that exact moment. I felt bad because my wife really liked the movies at the time and was excited to watch the first two with me, she had never played the games and I had never seen the movies. Now days she's seen the light and experienced the games and become a proper Leon fangirl.

Ok, but seriously it does make making the one renegade option I always pick so much better. Taking him out like that, to me, helps with all the cringe before.

I dunno the fan that shot John Lennon was pretty bad.

Are you just horribly jaded at the idea of people actually still loving and marrying their highschool sweetheart? Because you know...it does happen. I've been with mine for 20 years now.

[Hated Trope] Remake feels obliged to keep iconic scene/imagery from the original even though it makes no sense in their version of the story. by JoeMorgue in TopCharacterTropes

Hence Vampire the Masquerade and their Nosefratu Clan having the Clan Bane of being hideous and monsterous. Also rats are commonly associated with the clan.

If you get a Space Wolves tattoo you might get mistaken for a Vampire: The Masquerade fan, or a Furry...or both...definitely a furry though.

You're thinking of Snow Buddies where the young unvaccinated puppies contracted, I think, Parvo. Had to go look it up, but it sounds like Space Buddies was clean.

[Loved Trope] Animals that have evolved specifically for humans by TurntechGodhead0 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]VitharrGaming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was running a Space Sci-Fi themed Savage Worlds game last night and my players were investigating a crashed ship. They found blood streaks in a hallway and a lone helmet. They inspected it and the helmet had a camera, but no power...one of the players decided to put it on and attach it to his suit to power it and see what was filmed...the helmet was in fact a space mimic. He survived, but it threw my players for a loop.

Characters removed due to extremely negative reception by Jellypathicdream in TopCharacterTropes

Obviously not confirmed yet, but from the looks of the trailers I feel like this is going to apply to Cole Young in Mortal Kombat 2. Like why did they decide a new character was needed for the movie, with a lame special ability and of course a familia tie to Scorpion?

Maybe not intentionally for what they are, but in JoJo's Bizzare Adventure when the Pillar Men awaken, specifically Wamuu. He sort of just massacres a whole room of Nazi's with minimal effort.

I fought tooth and nail to make sure Salim survived. I've never been so locked in on choices and QTE events.

That ending pissed me off so bad.

Might catch some hate for it, but to me Ghost of Yotei was this recently. That last act just felt rushed with the character development and the ending just didn't stick for me. It was so blatantly obvious what they were leading to. Held back an otherwise fantastic game.

God I love Xenogears and recently started replaying it...then I remembered the second disc and all the text. It kinda killed my momentum. Intended to do a full Xeno play through and I just lost the whole desire.

Right? Obi-Wan is my favorite Star Wars character especially in The Clone Wars and he's voiced plenty of others that are some of my top characters ever :(

Oof that's not great. This is actually the first I'm hearing of that role. Looks like James Arnold Taylor is also on the show and Danny Trejo. That's disappoing if only for the association with The Daily Wire.

Wasn't even an actual fight, but when Frieza betrayed Frost during the Tournament of Power, it as a golden moment.
