As it turns out this dude got inspired by some isekai manga about dudes getting zapped into stories they know and having to derail it to survive. he literally WANTS us to derail his precious universe's story and kill his OCs and shit.
Stars wrote a fucking campain about breaking the railroad he's built in a generic setting inspired bad webtoons.

I can't tell if this is going to be the worst game i've ever been a part of or one of the best and i'm not even sure if i should join it, but i'm so morbidly curious at this point.

This is retarded but supposing it's real it seems like the guy has put a lot of work into creating something just to let you guys break it like a bull in a china shop. The polite thing is to at least give it a chance, if for no other reason than the opportunity to piss all over isekai bullshit with the full blessing of an invested DM.

>>94498397
i could do this exact same premise and it would be amazing. have you thought that maybe stars is actually awesome and will do it well?

>>94498397
>>94498400
Give it a shot anon. He may be autistic, but it does sound like he put a lot of effort on it. He doesn't really sound abrasive or controlling. Far from it really.

>>94498400
This actually sounds fun. I'd play it.

I was completely with you up until this, this is actually a pretty neat idea to be honest with you.

>>94498397
I did something similar and merged a bunch of different ttrpg and pen and paper stuff into one setting than added in a bunch of worlds and things like comic book multiverse and the star wars and star trek and dragon ball multiverse and all sorts of things into it in one giant merged multiverse set in the earth 0 dimension of the dc comics multiverse with everything merged into it and it being a super universe of pretty much anything and everything including variants of people *same person but a different version from a different timeline* and all sorts of dumb shit. And thats not even getting into the whole era's of time thing in the merge so all sorts of times and era's are in the universe also so there's vikings and kingdoms of knights and kings and all sorts of dumb but fun shit. its been oddly popular with my players as they can kind of get into anything in the world.
last session we solved a cold case in gotham city working with supergirl and 2 harley quinn variants and 1 batman variant along with a few other minor plot points like going to a 1920s jazz lounge in the world

>>94498397
>>94498400
The whole korean webtoon aesthetic aside, the idea itself doesn't sound too bad.
He should have lead with that info, the poor autist.
>"Hey guys, recently I was inspired to write so and so but I need some help to take the story off the rails. Would you shitlords like to play a weird ass meta textual quasi-rpg with me to help?
Or whathaveyou.
Anyhow, give it a shot, sounds like it could be fun in a beer and pretzels sort of way.

If you do this, you have to commit. Go full Light Imagay, one thousand IQ moves, system breaking that would put the powerest of gamers to shame. This is yout chance to be a cross between that one asshole from sword art online and that other asshole from code gayass. Be the isekai Shonen protagonist self insert you've always had inside you this whole time.

>>94498400
Definitely autistic, but I'd give him a shot. You should be able to tell whether he's a decent DM within the first few sessions, and setting up railroading with the intent for you to break it sounds pretty sick.

>>94499836
>beer and pretzels sort of way.
Kill yourself you fucking faggots. You low effort casual fake fans who play these games just to treat them like a joke and jerk off in the game and do le epic natural twenty stunts, are the bane of this hobby. Go play Cards Against Humanity, or fuck, you have Jackbox games now to channel your amateur comedy hour into. Beer and pretzels is code word for "lol i troll the game because I'm an ironic millennial who can't take anything serious." Drink bleach. I drink beer, and eat pretzels, at my serious RPG game that is a long running campaign where people actually give a fuck. Taking some guys game he worked hard on, even if it'd autistic, and deciding to treat it like a homosexual hipster from big bang theory? Dude just be an honest man and don't play. Don't be a fucking fag "DnD is just a game so I should shit it up with my antics" kind of fucking cunt. And don't give me that fauxbertarian shit about how "we can play how we want" that's bullshit. You do NOT have a right to turn RPGs into some kind of joke. Plenty of child molesters get away with their crimes, that doesn't make it right, you fucking Ayn Rand worshipping pedo fgagot. If I had my way, every last fucking one of you would be biting the barrel of a Luger. Fuck you.

It's so autistic that there needs to be a new word for that. So he has a railroaded campaign you would never like, so he tricked you into playing by proposing you could break the railroad, but you haven't grasped that he already has those angles covered too.
>TFW you got hoodwinked into a fully railroaded campaign like a cuck

First of all, check'em numbers.
Secondly, this is a sign you should join the game and play into Star's hand just so you can follow up with more greentext.
Thirdly, this is the best thread on /tg/ right now and can only be made better if you follow it up.

Is OP doing a thing where he describes an awesome campaign and acts like he hates it for (you)s?

You're just mad they're good at 4d chess.

When you said most autistic I was thinking it'd be full of recognizable characters from IPs or some Object Show or Sprunki mapaint shit. This is barely even a 6 out of 10, bro. You live a blessed life sheltered from anything more autistic than this. Get off the internet while there's still hope for you.

Thanks /tg, for the support on the idea.

You see, i was kinda lying in the initial post.
I AM stars, i'm the autist basement dweller with the absurd isekai idea.
I have insecurity and self esteem issues so i thought my game concept was just cringe and stupid.
So to gauge a reaction on if it was even worth it to make this game i decided to post on here from the perspective of a perplexed player who got the concept pitched to me to see if people would think it's worth joining a game like that.

In hindsight i could've gone about gauging a reaction in a way more honest way.
Oh well, i had fun seeing reactions to the post anyway

Come hear the ballad of Maxim (pic related) 1/x
>Running a game in a setting that’s basically Balkan Shonen Anime

>In comes maxim the Ukrainian soldier that died from having a defective missile drop on him
>He spawns in and immediately starts naming things he had on him like his phone, two guns, phosphorus, his entire coin collection, etc.
>He then starts saying how he goes around showing his phone to people to prove he was from another world
>I tell him the goddess that Isekaied him changed his Lock Screen to Konosuba hentai permanently as a joke because he keeps showing it to everyone
>Also tell him that everyone thinks he’s being a schizophrenic

>I should also mention during this he wanted to use the power of modern fire arms to dominate the setting… a setting with Yugoslavia era tech and magic.

>The painful death of… having a multi run metal cylinder fall on you from a high altitude… almost certainly resulting in instant death
>He keeps reiterating his point about having the most painful death imaginable until we explain this, and then he gets pissy and finally stops his character intro
>He asks some questions about the setting in character and then starts talking in depth about how the setting is exactly like his history plus Naruto and lore dumps Naruto to everyone
>Something I forgot to mention is that he talks over everyone constantly and talks about twice as much as anyone else at the table

>The next session is where stupidity hit peak and didn’t stop
>He now gained two new hyper obsessions during a boat ride session over to an island nation, getting his kidney back and 4/5th dimensional geometry
>Every and I mean EVERY single action or conversation he had after this related to one of those two things for some ungodly reason.
>The mission was too assassinate a mob boss and pin it on a bigger Hexer group while a bridge builder was being guarded by one of said groups. Basically the Naruto Land of Waves arc via Rosencrance and Guildenstern are Dead.
>This stupidity finally culminates after several sessions with him reading the mind of the Naruto standin for some unnecessary reason
>He comes face to face with the demon in their head
>Demon tries to bargain with Maxim to help them take control of their host in return for getting his kidney back or something else he wants
>Maxim keeps cutting him off with S cutting me off mid sentence multiple times while he trauma dumps his whole life story along with his worlds history and the plot of Naruto on the demon

I dunno, there have been a few vidya like Slay the Princess, Stanley Parable, and one other I forget the name of where the player is encouraged to go completely off the rails just to see what happens, and they're good games.

Of course this kind of story is very difficult to pull off.

Sasha did nothing wrong.

Stars, you should read the series that did this concept first and did it best: Guardians of the flame. There's also the conflict that comes from players that would also want to stay and even protect the world against the others wishes, or even rule it.

>>94505857
Pretty sure it's millennials that cringe at nothing. You tell a boomer gamer that you put in Star Trek into their LotR, and they think it's awesome.

Now answer the questions.

>>94498400
I was legitimately kind of worried at first (probably because I'm a lot more like Stars than I'd like to admit), but if I was you, I'd at least try out the first session. And, if he is kind of crap at it, oh well.

I said no repeatedly on that, I had agreed he had what he had on him when he died which included some starting equipment equivalent weapons. Everything after that I had to pause the game for a second to say no and eventually just had someone rob him to take anything else he had on him

Yeah, this guy is right.
You can't play a game with a system with any kind of depth as a beer and pretzel style game.
Beer and pretzel games exist and they feature fast character generation, a super simple resolution mechanic, EXPECTED character death, and take zero aspect of themselves seriously. If your session, adventure, and entire premise cannot be in one sentence that is less than 20 words, you aren't playing a beer and pretzels game.

Not true.
If you and your peers are intimately acquainted with the systems and know the motions by heart, you absolutely can.
Also, digital tools.

I was with you until this. This is actually pretty based. He literally wants you to metagame and break his railroad, while also roleplaying a self-aware metagamer ruleslawyer faggot. That's turning wet dogshit into serious kino potential, I'd give it a chance
