Why is frogspammer more active now?
How do we get him to fuck off?

Nothing.
As long as you play with real people you actually know, and not just pretend to be playing with imaginary internet boogiemen, you don't actually have to ban anything because they already understand what is acceptable at your table and what isn't. (And accidental assholery is dealt with with simply: "Dude, that was kind of shitty." "My bad, I won't do it again".)

I have a zero tolerance policy for griefing and resisting the call to adventure. If you don't want to game, don't join my campaign.

>>95882968
what would griefing be in a ttrpg?

>>95882990

Basically the stuff I outlined. Coming up with in-character reasons to antagonize the other players or pump the brakes on the adventure.

>>95882968
>>95882990
I don't see it much nowadays since players are more likely to take different niches but there's also the problem of people stealing loot from each other.

There was definitely more of that behavior back in the era when staying home was boring. So if you were a geek guy you might join an RPG because you wanted to see your friends even if you didn't like RPing. And then start trying to destroy the game so you could pivot towards a more casual hangout.

It's less common now that people can just stay home and binge-stream but I still see it sometimes.

>>95881479 (OP)
I ban people trying to farm content for their shitty youtube channel

Mind control. It's both anti-fun to have your character agency taken away and be forced into a specific action because mind control and anti-narrative to have the reason a character does something that they otherwise would not have done be simply because mind control. Plus, everyone who's ever wanted to use anything beyond something like a basic Suggestion spell has been really weird about it.

>>95883425
Ever try doing a campaign where that's actually baked into the narrative? The antagonists are an evil empire that keeps its subjects in line with some kind of mind control, but there's a resistance movement made up of people who are immune somehow.

If I DM'd I would ban romance like my DM does. I agree with his assessment that time spent developing a romantic subplot is better spent elsewhere.

>>95882968
>Any kind of extreme skeptic/atheist in a setting where Gods obviously exist and people can do magic
I've seen this one done well, but I have to know the player. As long as it is legitimately a character flaw, and not the player trying to argue with the GM about the setting, it can be a fascinating way to explore the relationship between mortal experience and divine presence, especially when you start getting into WHY the character can't accept the truth. But, again, that requires that the character not be a mouthpiece.

No gnomes. Never had a good gnome player and I'm tired of it. I've had some fuck awful tiefling snowflakes but also some really chill tiefling players that lean into the initial fear their fiendish appearance brings and the interparty dynamics of navigating those prejudices. I also don't allow blind or deaf characters as someone's first character playing with me, too many times had people go WAAAAH YOU'RE ABLEIST when they actually have negative impacts of their character's disability come up in game. I am legally blind IRL lol

This.
Been DM-ing D&D since '92 and every gnome is a Teehee Macaroni or a pedophile.
I have never kept track or taken count, but this sort of conversation has happened a lot at my table:
>Hey where's [gnome player]?
>He hasn't shown up for a while
>oh yeah, I heard he got arrested
>arrested? what for?
>I heard they found CP on his computer
and you can replace CP with

Shitters who don't know the rules.

>>95881479 (OP)
Apathetic characters. I don't know why people show up to campaigns with a character that doesn't want to adventure, and has no reason to go adventuring.
Similarly, characters that fundamentally cannot get along with the party. Interparty conflict is fine, but trying to force it from the outset with Shithead McGee is just antagonizing your peers who maybe didn't want a PvP game this time.

Monopoly and Uno are banned unless played RAW.
That simple qualifier keeps people from ever wanting to play them. Shame because Monopoly RAW only takes around 45 minutes which is pretty damn fast for a four player game.

I loan a lot of games out to a buddy who hosts a Board Game Club for the elementary school he teaches at and the only board game he had to ban was Bonk!
Apparently the game itself was fine, but since you play two on two with a limited resource for pushing the wooden ball around with metal balls, having a partner who sucks at hitting the wooden ball while spamming your metal balls was grounds for a straight up fist fight among the autists who play board games.

>>95891769

Destroying loot, hitting your allies on purpose, stealing gear for no reason, causing situations you know will get the party killed. I'm sure I could think of more.

>>95882968
That last one is what knowledge skills are for, in DnD at least (though it comes up in a variety of other games too). Players should not assume to know anything that wouldn't be very obviously guessable, and you as the DM/GM can feel free to offer some freebie info based on context clues or just directly to a player character with a high enough knowledge skill that you feel like they know basics.

>>95882983

>Any kind of extreme skeptic/atheist in a setting where Gods obviously exist and people can do magic
By this logic the best chararacter in 40k (Fabius Bile) would be sacrilege at your table

>>95893363
I almost always did this - I've been looser on it lately, mostly because vape pens have made it hard for me to catch players and I know one of mine does it for pain management. But I regret allowing it. The table is so much louder and dumber. Good on you, anon.

>>95895018
I haven't read the Fabius Bile books, but I feel safe in saying that the only part of the Chaos Gods he doesn't believe in is their claims to godhood, rather than their very existence, since in 40k the chaos gods are very real and you can literally get lied to by Tzeentch, raped by Slaanesh, puked on by Nurgle, and beaten to a pulp by Khorne within the span of a day.
basically more "What does God want with a starship?" than actual disbelief in the supernatural.

>>95896251
He quite literally does not believe they are real, he has a conversation with Slannesh directly where he denies their existence, calling them "random confluences of celestial phenomena."
That just might be him gaslighting himself so he can't be as influenced by them but at his core he does not believe they are real.
In this specific way he actually embodies the Imperial Truth more than every other Space Marine loyalist or traitor.

>>95896295
>>95896251
I also recommend the books, one of the best 40k characters IMO

>>95895018
He's a great character, but I don't think he would really work as a pc in a normal game. His denial of the gods is a pretty small part of that though, and his particular brand of delusional atheism isn't really what's usually being talked about anyway.

>>95896251
He claims to not believe they're truly sentient beings, or that daemons can really be considered beings that actually truly exist. It's intentionally not a very strong argument though, it's denial for its own sake more than an actual worldview.

>>95896295
It's with another daemon/warp thing, not slaanesh themself, though slaanesh is very heavily implied to be directly observing. He's definitely being dishonest though, considering he's having to force himself not to look and the attention alone is causing his hearts to fail, even as he denies there's anything there.

Why would knowing supernatural beings exist prevent you from not agreeing that they are God and knowing magic exist prevent you from being skeptical of fake wizards? Like I know science exists that doesn't mean I'm not skeptical of some guy going "just trust the science bro"
