The Role Player | Board Gamer Stereotypes

[@DrQuaalude]

What about the “annoyance.” The person that only plays to make others lose, constantly does wild moves at everyone’s expense, and you probably forgot the reason why you’re still friends with them.

[@davidk6269]

I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work! I hope that your subscriber count continues to grow, as you deserve a wider audience.

[@anders6326]

I think the Dead of Winter roleplaying was the highlight of this video. Totally not biased. I think Blue was the traitor.

[@jcw59able]

The chimp was hilarious. Didn’t see that coming

[@RR-oo8je]

Thank you Mr Shelfside for another great video. (Thanks Ashton and Daniel)

[@davidk6269]

Let it be known that as of September 13, 2021: "VIG envy" is now a real thing.

I appreciate the trigger discipline on the Godfather scene

[@GForce4]

I love the irony of someone getting into the theme of Dominion

[@patrickpmcbride]

That Everyone is John sheet. I see you!

[@Shelfside]

underrated role playing game! Was trying to write "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" into this script, but alas it didn't make it -Ashton

[@Boborobo1]

Your videos deserve more likes for the amount of quality that goes into them.

[@Shelfside]

Thanks mate! Always coming out with more stuff :D -Ashton

[@anders6326]

I can’t stop hearing Joe BIDEN when he says Joe Diamond, lol.

[@piotrjasik2835]

I would definately use the cards for Marvel Legendary :P would be fun to put you right next to Hulk or Thanos, you'd totally blend in

[@arjunant9930]

I’d put one of you into avalon and one of you into rival restaurants. Assuming I could use the card in Avalon without players knowing who the card is from the back. Both would have special powers of course, just not sure what yet…

[@olivierjodoin2283]

5:19 I was actually feeling bad for the role player right up until that point... Role playing a monkey is a bit too much... 🤣

[@mabos555]

What about my idea of "the guy who thinks he can create the new best game ever?" not sure how to call it maybe the inventor guy? It's just the guys that think they can create thier own board games or run ks by their own without any knowledge or experience at all 😅

[@benjaminloyd6056]

Hey! I happen to be that guy.) But I am more modest in my aspirations and realistic about my abilities. It's just my hobby.

[@mabos555]

@@benjaminloyd6056 Yeah it is an amazing stereotype to make video about Unfortunately I know a lot of people in Israel who mostly inspired by monopoly, Catan and talisman so everything they make are just the same like those game and it sucks because there is a difference between actually want to sell thier shitty game and just doing it for fun 😁 What kind of games do you make?

[@benjaminloyd6056]

@@mabos555 Rpg's, either hacks of other systems or my own. Ccg's, for a while. I really like narrative-driven games. Lots of cardboard copies of card games with the serial numbers filed of, to play with my siblings, because we are relatively poor. It's my way of bringing people together.

[@mabos555]

@@benjaminloyd6056 Amazing love hearing that :) Yeah well I don't want this stereotype video to be offensive or something like that don't get me wrong, I think those kind of people still need a video about it for fun 😅 Well I inky tried to create my own game of thrones avalaon game inspired but I didn't finished it and play test it at all so it became just another idea in the shelf, its hard but fun to do

[@benjaminloyd6056]

@@mabos555 I understand, I have stacks of papers and ideas that are unfinished. Every once in a while I have to go through them and get rid of what just doesn't work. Some things sound better in my head :)

[@lu7ky]

Personalized cards, that is awesome! Gotta love the monkey but was kind of awaiting that LoTR game as well (some Gollum/Gandalf RP?) to be present in this. EDIT: For the cards, I would put them randomly in the 'door deck' of a game of Warhammer 40,000 Munchkin. When the custom card is revealed (is now the top card) the player drawing it (if the previous card was not a monster) keeps drawing until a monster is found. At this point, all players can opt in to join the fight but the monster gets that many times stronger! Ex. 1 player = 1x it's strength, 2=2x etc. If the monster is defeated in the end, each player gets that specific card's reward(s) but unless there is a deal made before the fight, any cards drawn before that monster is revealed go to the one who drew the custom card.

[@Shelfside]

ahaha, I was thinking of doing some SW or LOTR roleplay, but this video already had so much going for it, I thought I would take a break from WOTR for a bit. That is an incredible idea, wow that is going to the top of the list of the entries! -Ashton

[@tahubob]

My Legendary idea for your cards is to put you two into Dream Crush ;)

[@brucegoodwin7109]

How about a video on the player whose turn takes 3 hours. A little analysis paralysis

[@bastianvillebro6420]

Saw u whooped out game of thrones the board game…. Perhaps a review is coming? Because i really love that game and i have seen it on you’re channel many times:)

[@luked.8016]

I second that. A review would be great!

[@bastianvillebro6420]

@@luked.8016 yes indeed we need a review!

[@Shelfside]

good question! I haven't played it in a VERY long time, Daniel likes it a little more than me, but I have good things to say about the design overall. TI4 has just happened to take its place in the 6P long game niche. PLUS, the ending of the TV show has bummed me out a little on GoT hehehe -Ashton

[@kazetokumo]

Do "The right hand/king maker". The person who doesn't play to win, but whose sole purpose is to help another person wins the game.

[@Shelfside]

oh man, this is crossing into some gamer couple stuff too huh... Man I do not like those people, this is a good idea! -Ashton

[@Shoitaan]

I would use the cards for voodoo. No further information will be provided at this time...

JUMANJI!!!?? OUIJA BOARD??? -Ashton

Hey can u guys start a series just like web series... tabletop

[@Shelfside]

like playthoughs of a bunch of games? We got some with Shelfside plays, but hoping to get more traditional games out for you guys, like Pandemic, Catan, etc. for them! -Ashton

[@benishehe]

Was that a VP9? Nice taste, shelf-san.

[@metalrock720]

I would use your card to play the character Ashton in Dead of Winter and then proceed to act like a monkey the whole game.

[@Shelfside]

that's pretty good. That is pretty darn good. -Ashton

[@benjaminloyd6056]

People both live it and hate it when I play Resistance, and narrate the mission as I reveal the mission cards.)

[@benjaminloyd6056]

Love it.

[@mistermastermind528]

I'm not sure if these stereotypes have been covered but I have some based on experience: The Component Protector Someone who doesn't play the games until all the components have been well-protected. Scenario sample: -Hey man, let's play this game! -Aw, sorry. I'm not gonna let anyone play that until I've sleeved all the cards. The Marked (Targeted) Someone who's so knowledgeable about the game that he/she becomes the target of every player to lose immediately. Or for games with defectors, he/she is always thought of as the traitor at the start of the game. (If you have the game Cash n Guns, you basically have someone who gets eliminated first because everyone just targets him/her). The "Mad about Minis" Someone who's obsessed with games that have miniatures.

[@Shelfside]

Hey thanks for these awesome suggestions! Will have to keep this in mind, I have definitely been the 'marked' SOO many times ahaha. Cheers! -Ashton

[@mistermastermind528]

@@Shelfside Sure thing, man. Thanks for acknowledging. I've been the one doing the studies on board game rules back in the day and I get to always be marked too. Haha.

[@maverickman6486]

Well, this is me. Even if I try to keep it in my head and not inflict it on others.

Substitute your cards into Risk Legacy and when it says to burn a card burn them instead

Omg this one is also a really good one kinda glad no one is like this in my group sheesh.. anyways awesome vid guys

thanks man! Cheers -Ashton

[@zaraomi145]

Hey guys! I really enjoy your content . The way you approach board game reviews and the BG stereotypes is unique and very entertaining🔥👀. If I were to play your legendary character cards I would put you into Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards with Ashton as a main fighter monster with morphing abilities cuz of your vast acting roles and Daniel as a trap card to confuse/distract opponents because everytime I watch your videos he shows up like a wild pokemon and I be confused sometimes 😂😂😂. Keep up the good work 💪

[@Shelfside]

you know what, I really like this submission idea! Thanks for the input, glad to see ya here! More vids coming out :) -Ashton

[@lukeanzilotti9090]

Use the cards as a replacement for character minis

[@lightpunch3154]

To stay in the theme,one of the first things I thought off was a call of cthulhu campaign heavily focused around puzzles and investigation (since my group is into that) where two influencing individuals strangely gone missing. Having these two cards shown to them as they open a puzzle box and finding out you two were somehow put into cards would be nothing if awesome!

[@Shelfside]

whoa I like this! Hopefully seeing our silly faces doesn't ruin the CoC mood ahaha, if I witnessed that during a playthrough I would be so distracted -Ashton

[@davereagles7379]

Loved it! You actually reminded me of a few people. Would "vintage wargamer" count as a stereotype?

oooh, we've gotten requests for "wargamer" people before, but I probably gotta play a couple more war games before I feel comfortable with that one -Ashton
