toastyhat:

red vs blue as a long-running tabletop RPG started by on-duty soldiers looking for a way to kill time:

• they all use their actual names b/c no one gives a shit at first
• GM’d at first by Vic(k), who literally makes everything up as he goes along and just wants to mess with the guys.  (blood gulch chronicles)
• then later by Allison, who is maybe still salty that Vic(k) killed off her character and wants to get into some Meaty Backstory and Actual Plot.  (recollection trilogy)
• wash’s player (David??) is an old buddy of hers who takes the game a lot more seriously and gets real frustrated at first with everyone else’s lackadaisical playstyle
• “why are you using a sniper rifle you don’t have a proficiency in that, get a better gun”
• “for the last time I’m not gonna get rid of the fucking sniper rifle, shut up”
• “and you keep rolling all these critical fails, so what’s the–”
• “SHUT UP”
• the freelancers are either an entirely different party she DMs on alternate weeks or just…pieces of lore the reds and blues unlock as they go, idk.
• and/or Carolina’s player just has a SUPER intricate backstory which she worked on real hard to tie it into the existing Freelancer Lore
• idk who’s in charge during the Chorus trilogy…tempted to say Felix(/Isaac irl, prolly) takes over with the mercs as his NPC villains and just has a ball fucking with everyone.
• by now everyone’s really into it and making a bunch of complicated plans, using their surroundings like total pros, etc.
• if I knew more about the intricacies of tabletop stuff I’d throw more scenarios out there but I don’t trust myself to get it right.  I love it though. ;v;
