DFRPG Real men, Real roleplayers, Real loonies, and real Munchkins

[Katarn]

The White Council
Real Men:  The White Council is a bastion of hope against the forces of darkness.
Real Roleplayers:  The Council is good but misguided, and can be an interesting backdrop or occasional resource or conflict starter.
Real Loonies:  Attempt to gain membership into the Council through gratuitous usage of cheese.
Real Munchkins:  Pick off the Wardens and Senior Council one at a time.

Playing a Game in Canon with the books
Real Men:  Respect the GM's wishes, but don't let it interfere with gameplay.
Real Roleplayers:  THIS GAME MUST BE IN SEAMLESS CONTINUITY OF THE DRESDEN FILES AS PRESENTED BY THE ALL-FATHER, HIS HOLINESS JIM BUTCHER AND HIS PROPHETESS PRISCELLIE.
Real Loonies:  Will take every opportunity to break the canon... whilst using cheese.
Real Munchkins:  Will twist the GM's arm by keeping canon... only if they are the one that killed Simon Pietrovich.... or Kemmler.

When Offered Food in the NeverNever
Real Men:  Don't take it.
Real Roleplayers:  Would consider taking it, if it progresses the mission or story.
Real Loonies:  Will eat it only if it is cheese, or switch the fae food with cheese then act enthralled.
Real Munchkins:  Will only eat fruit from the Garden of Eden that will allow them to replace the White God.


Also, the newly-added ones need to be re-compiled into the master list.

Added.

Real Loonies:  Attempt to gain membership into the Council through gratuitous usage of cheese.

Luckily brie-bery isn't prohibited under the laws of magic.  

I think I ate to much punny-o's this morning, I can't stop...

Now I'm tempted to create a cheese based character...

[toturi]

Real Munchkins:  Wipe out the Wardens and Senior Council all at the same time.

Real Munchkins:  Will fit the GM over their hands as a sock puppet.

Real Munchkins:  Will not need to eat anything at all and if they do eat, only the benefits of doing so stick.

[toturi]

City Generation
Real men: Built the city with their bare hands.
Real Roleplayers: Design intricate webs between all the faces.
Real Loonies: Build the city on Rock & Roll
Real Munchkins: Nuke the city...with their pure mortal throwing fireballs while shapeshifted into a Tarrasq.

Real Munchkins:: The city is a perfect extension of their will, any opposition will be crushed without any deliberate action on their parts.

[Haru]

Midsession Pizza Order:
Real men: Beacon, Pepperoni, Barbecue sauce. Hot!
Real roleplayers: Is so immersed in his character that he orders 2, one for him, one to bribe the little folk.
Real Loonies: Quattro Formaggi (lots and lots of cheese)
Real Munchkins: A pizza with everything of course, and he gets the other players to pay for him.

toturi, I kind of get the feeling you have a bad experience or two with munchkins

[EldritchFire]

So they throw fireballs that throw pure mortals? That's nasty

I was referencing the Pure Mortal above who not only gets the +2 refresh, but can shapeshift and throw fireballs. Wordsmith, I aint. >_<

P.S. But I'm sure y'all already knew that!

Ah you mean people with rpgs.

Rocket-propelled grenade launchers let you shapeshift?

Or did you mean role-playing games?

[Haru]

Rocket-propelled grenade launchers let you shapeshift?

That reminds me of One Piece, where there are animals that can turn into weapons, like an elephant that is also a sword, or a dog that turns into a canon (or was it a pistol?). Would be interesting to create an IoP/familiar like that.

@EldritchFire
Of course I knew what you meant, my mind has just been a little crazy today, so I made that connection. Didn't mean to belittle your idea.

This reminds me of way back in the day playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert (yeah, the first one). I got my hands on a file that I was able to edit to change the behaviours of the game. So I gave the guard dogs the secondary weapon of canon. As in the 8" gun used by the cruiser. So I had my Soviet guard dogs who could not only kill infantry in one hit, but also morphed into giant canon balls and killed most vehicles in one hit.

Yeah, I had fun with hacking!

No belittling done! After I read your comment, I went back and reread what I wrote, and I lol'd, too!

Favorite Element for Evocation:
Real Men: Fire
Real Roleplayers: Wood (because they are roleplaying someone who doesn't choose the obvious elements)
Real Loonies: Aluminum (because they are roleplaying someone who doesn't choose the obvious elements)
Real Munchkins: Soulfire infused nuclear explosions

When going to meet a bunch of Vampires:
Real Men: go in guns blazing
Real Roleplayers: Try to negotiate a truce, using the accords as backup.
Real Loonies: dress up in a cheesy Dracula costume
Real Munchkins: try to declare an aspect of "They are all soaked in holy water"

When does the gamer use Fate points:

1)  Real men don't use fate points, they want to beat their foes with just their own skills, not some hinky mechanic

2)  Real roleplayers use them to buy off compels, or in social combat with the main bad guy

3)  Real loonies use fate points in social combat with the metermaid

4)  Real munchkins lawyer every aspect they can so they can get the kill shot on the boss.

When faced with an opponent that seems absolutely unbeatable:

Real Men: Go Off The Rails and sacrifice their character in a blaze of heroic glory.

Real Roleplayers: Angst it up until their table-mates smack them upside the head and force him to actually use their Wizard effectively for once.

Real Loonies: Try to bribe their foe into going away with a big wheel of cheddar.

Real Munchkins: Go Off The Rails, and then try to convince everyone to let them keep their suddenly-593 refresh character.

When faced with an opponent that seems absolutely unbeatable:

Real Munchkins: The above will never happen.
