Role Playing Characters

Yep-typically just with close friends now though. I have had a *lot* of negative experiences with RPers who can't separate reality from fantasy, people who have gotten mad when they saw me speaking to someone they didn't like, etc. I love RP but at this point, just DM me if you wanna write, lol

Gross, that's about on par with players who self-insert themselves as their RP character and then get mad when bad things happen (such as IC insults, like someone is attacking you personally). It's so uncomfy to be around.

I recently played with someone who self-inserted as their character with a major power fantasy and... it was not enjoyable for any of the other people. I'm talking forcing action on other players' characters and almost bullying people out of scenes to hog the spotlight. Like, we're playing make believe in an MMO, calm down jeez.

I even talked to them in private after one scene where they forced a major action on several characters, which led to something REALLY bad happening to my character, and they just completely dismissed what I was saying. They eventually left our group because they realized their power trippy self-centered playstyle didn't mesh well with a group who just wants to have fun together.
