RPG IRL Only Instigators Say This

Description

R.P.G. (Ransack People's Gold) is the tale of four D&D/Star Wars/RPG players and their DM, who wishes he were a player. These intrepid players are, from left to right:
Kenneth, the over-achieving, yet under appreciated DM.
Adam, the guy who has a theater background but needs a girlfriend.
Barry, the munchkin power-gamer with a bad case of arrested development.
Josh, the straight-laced guy who just wants to play the game.
Kassi, Josh's homicidally-minded younger cousin, whom he regrets inviting.

I know this one will rub some people the wrong way (unlike any of my other gross over generalizations). Despite my power-gaming, I am the kind of player who has vast genealogies for my characters so I get wanting to have PCs built on story not number crunching, but I have never met a player who uttered that phrase who was a mature individual who made deep characters with well thought out motivations. It seems to be the battle cry of the chaotic stupid hipster who inevitably betrays the party. I've met several varieties of this guy at conventions and for some reason they are always a class that can pick your pockets.

I know the type. I knew one player who was the absolute epitome of the comic's portrayal. Lord, if he could wreak havoc in a campaign, he would. If he got bored, we'd end up paying for it. And it kept going, because until I got in the DM's seat, he never had any consequences for it.

After that, he quit playing when the consequences directly lead to his character being eaten by an oni. I wish I were making that up. I really do.
