Thread for posting crazy shiza that's happened to you in game.
This is what I chatted to a friend about it:
So, my bard, Athelia, had been stuck at sea for about 9 months and we had been through horrible cataclysm after horribler cataclysm and when we finally made landfall...we were fucking tired...
We were emotionally strained, to say the least. Well, we pulled in at what was supposed to be a bustling neutral port and there is no one there.
No one.
Nothing.
But the whole island is covered in frogs.
At this point, we're so fucking glad to be on land, we decide, 'Fuck it. We'll loot what we need and get back on the road...after a night of rest.'
So, Athelia hasn't gotten any for a long while and the barbarian (happened to be played by hubby) wanders into a tavern... I tell the wizard and the cleric to wait outside and to leave us alone, even if they hear banging noises...so they stand outside with eyebrows raised as I march into the tavern, slam the door, put the bar down and attempt to rape the barbarian.
I actually thought he'd go for it, lol, but he wasn't having any of it. I think I came on a little strong...lol. So, he starts throwing mugs at me to keep me at bay and I get backed just behind the bar.
Most medieval taverns have a trap door behind the bar for the cellar and wouldn't you know it, a giant frog had taken up residence. The trap door pops open, I fail my reflex, and am swollowed whole.
So outside, they hear yelling, banging and smashing, then silence.
Barbarian is stunned.
He ends up just breaking the door down in his haste to get outside and starts yelling that they have to help the bard because she got eaten. So everyone charges into the tavern and down the cellar. In attempts to help me, they shoot a crossbow at it and because the DM at the time had an evil die that was the destroyer of lives, the bolt ended up getting stuck in my spine, through the frog. And of course it wasn't enough to kill the frog.
Frog has burrowed a tunnel into the wall of the cellar so barbarian got stuck trying to climb after and they had to spend time pulling him out, then the gnomish wizard crawled through and started stabbing the frog. It died and he drug it out into the main cellar and as they started trying to pull me out, the crossbow bolt was wiggling in the frog...
I took more damage.
They finally figured it out and got it taken care of but damn...Athelia was having a bad fucking day after a bad fucking year. ![]()

The best part was using the gnome as a periscope to look down into the cellar to see what was going on.

My favorite part is the little cut scene in my head when Steve (DM) cut back to Cripps and Daggle (Shoop/cleric and wizard) while the mugs were being thrown and you two shared a look of, "Wowza...glad I'm not the barbarian..."

The barbarian wished he wasn't the barbarian.

Conversation during Star Wars game:
R2 Unit: I totally tasered him in the ass with my shock probe.
GM: ...and then you lick him...*tee hee hee!*
R2 Unit: Yes. I will lick everyone I taser. On the ass.
GM: *licking noises/motion* Mmmm.
Force Adept: You could have a little sponge on a telescoping arm that comes out and *licking noises*.
Jedi: Yeah, a moist one...
R2 Unit: *dying of laughter*
Force Adept: * mimicking future conversations* "Not on the mouth, R2, not on the mouth! You licked some guy's ass with that last week!"

In the GM's defense, he thought that the R2 unit said that he "tasted his ass" not "tazered his ass". Hence the discussion of tongues and makeshift droid "sponge" tongues. ![]()

Vanador: Thank you, sir, it is an honor.
Minotaur: But first, we must consummate the accord.
V+D: ...Consumate?
Minotaur: The first option is that you must marry the Earth Chief's youngest daughter.

Daughter: [in a deep, booming voice] Be gentle, it is my first time.
Vanador: ...And option B?
Minotaur: If you will not marry the Earth Chief's youngest daughter, the two of you must fight his eldest son with naught but stones, sticks and the skin on your backs.

Son: [in a deep, booming voice] No need be gentle with me.

Mad_Jack from a WoTC thread wrote:
Back in the old days, running a game that included my 4th grade Catholic Catechism teacher, Sister Maria, since she was letting us play in the classroom after class. She's a first-time player, so I'm let her character do all sorts of minor Catholic-saint-miracle stuff.
I'm going rules-lite on her character, but not the rest of the party. Everybody else is playing serious and she's bopping along giving out her gold to starving children and healing small birds with busted wings.
She killed my vampire BBEG without even making a die roll.
The vamp is wiping the floor with the party, all the while jacking Sister Maria's cleric up against a wine rack with one hand.
I'm wondering how to avoid a TPK.
Then she just kind of smiles and tells me that her character reaches back over her head with both hands and grabs two clay jugs of water off the shelf.
In character, she recited the whole ritual Catholic priests use to make holy water, and smashes the jugs together with the vamp's head in the middle. :eek:
A real-life Catholic nun playing a cleric recites the actual holy-water ritual in character - how the hell could I not let that work, y'know?
The vamp burst into flames and died screaming.
How fucking awesome is that...he got a nun to play...even if he went really easy on her...he got a fucking nun to play.

"first adventure is four paltry goblins. the first three go down as expected, then the dice fairy came over and kissed the last goblin, who proceeded to not only evade death but drop 4 party members. two players had death by crit. i cant recall a roll above 8 for the party. nor can i remember the goblin rolling less then 14. 11 long rounds later, the last party member surrenders to goblin. forever more, this particular goblin has been dubbed the "neo" goblin." -ravenharm on WoTC

I posted this in a thread where people share amazing or funny monster/opponent deaths.
In this case, the BBEG wasn't a BBEG...but we thought he was.
This evil 3.5 party consisted of a human Dread Necromancer, human Cleric of Hextor, fallen Planetar, human Warblade, and a dwarven Fighter.
* We own and run a city that's one of the larger power centers in a lawless land.
* A mob boss from a metropolis to the north sends in some guys to start a drug trade in our city.
* We kill them.
* He sends more and they threaten us.
* We kill them.
* He sends more with a letter informing us that he will not pursue this further if we let him establish in our city.
* We invite the new guys to a dinner of apology. Then we massacre them and ship one of their heads back to the don with a note that says, "We told you we're not interested."
* The don hires the premier assassin's guild in the entire world known as Order of the Black Rose; they have never failed in a mark yet.
* We are chased around the world and are slowly getting more and more desperate as we run into defeat after defeat.
* Somehow, we find out where a person of import to the Order of the Black Rose lives and we go to his house to kill him.
DM: You enter the owner's bedchamber and see that it is finely furnished with expensive silk pillows, delicate sheers, gold leaf moulding, etc. A grey haired man sits on the window seat straight ahead of you. He has a folded piece of parchment on his lap. He lifts his hand towards you and says-
Entire Party: NO!!! I-
-charge him!
-charge him!
-charge him!
-attack with my chain!
-cast cast Wither Limb on his arms!
DM: ..uh...you do?
PCs: Yes. We do.
DM: ...but...he's just the butler!
PCs: *is he kidding?* Even if he is, our characters don't know that!?
DM: Oh...well, ok. I'll just tell you now, he's the butler.
PCs: No way, man! We're killing him. Our characters have no reason to think otherwise and we're scared out of our minds right now...
DM: Ok then. All of you attack all at once and since he's just a commoner, he takes so much damage, he practically explodes. You destroy him utterly. The parchment he was holding slowly floats to the ground.
PCs: Whew. *wipe brows* That was a close one.

My wife did this one. She is playing a nasty brutish female dwarven beastmaster. Nasty being the key word. On the first encounter of H-1, first battle ever, she picks up one of the bones I had drawn on the map for realism, rolled athletics, and shoved the bone deep within herself. Yeah, in that way. And, apparently, her character's insides are made of pure acidic ooze, because the bone melted inside her. During battle, she decides as a minor action she would retrieve some of the acidic-ooze-bone and as a standard, throw it in some poor kobolds face. Just like in alien, the acid melted through his face and brain, and it fell to the floor. We have never been more disgusted, or amused, at a monster death since!

During one battle, a tortoise he was taking care of got loose and crawled onto the battle mat, stomping over the enemy minis.
Player: Hooray! The Mighty Terrasque joins the battle on our side!
Then the tortoise turned and eyed the PC minis. The DM called out in a low, ominous voice:
Mortal fools. The Terrasque fights for no man. You are all but meat. Tremble in fear as I slowly advance towards you, and devour you whole!
There was a long pause. The tortoise took a single step towards the minis.
DM: ...yes, slowly advancing, to build the tension before I devour you whole! Keep trembling! Did I mention my slow advance?

From WoTC:
My party has been busy lately with an evil artificer, one of those zany "Supervillain-inventor" types who are always trying to build doomsday devices and such. He is a gnome, and has name is Dr. Klein Shiesskopf.
After defeating him once again, he jets off in a rocket-propelled escape craft shaped like a giant screwdriver. The party is then left free to wander through his lab (after disabling the self-destruct device) and look through his stuff. Dr. Shiesskopf wasn't very organized, but there were generally sheafs of notes left lying around on tables and stuff with details on what he was working on. Some samples:
Next to some sketches of some kind of bear with feathers, or perhaps an obese eagle with teeth:
In spite of my best efforts, I have been unable to find a bear and an owl who were in love and willing to have children. The bearowl project has been scrapped for the time being. Too bad; I really wanted to know if they'd hoot or growl...
Next to a big suit of armor, large enough to be a golem if it weren't hollow:
...Wrist-mounted fireball wands, some alchemists-fire catapaults on the back, maybe compartments to unleash smaller golems from... and I'll make it taller. Yes, much taller. They will pay dearly for calling me "Shorty..."
Next to some kind of orb with two little indentations on it marked "record" and "play." Hitting the play button made the orb emit a sound like maniacal laughter.
I think I've finally got it. If I drink a full glass of milk and eat some peperoni pizza before I start, the evil cackle comes out as a baritone. It's making me hoarse, but DAMN I sound good!
Next to a small armored carriage (very small) with a heavy crossbow mounted on itThe squirrel-tank is complete. Now I just need to train some squirrels to pilot it! These things are remarkably inexpensive, so if all goes well I should be able to replace my disposable minions with an army of squirrels in just a few months. All shall tremble before my rodent army and despair!

Party enters a building and is greeted by a doorman. He sends them through the door of many locks, down the hall and up the stairs to a clerk. This NPC asks them all a series of questions, passes the answers to the next room, and returns to his seat at his desk, leaving the party to wait uncomfortably in his office/the antechamber to the office they're headed to.
After a moment of awkward silence (and OOC/IC glances at each other) our cleric, Yu, goes up to the NPC's desk.
Yu: "So, uh, what do you do here?"
*party looks at Yu like she's crazy. He's just a clerk!?!*
NPC: "See this?" *gestures to mounds of paperwork on desk* "It's paper. I push it."
Same Cleric, played by L, OOC Reading from PHB: "...You can target shatter against a single solid object... weighing up to-" *does the math* "40 pounds. How much is 40 pounds? Like a small child? I could shatter a small child!"
(This is from the one who came home to find her family murdered, two children included, which is why she became a cleric-to save others.)
Entire party: O.O
DM: "L, are you okay?"
L: "What?"
Me: "Did you hear what you just said?"
L: "I could shatter a-- OMG"
The shock wore off and we all just kept laughing at her. She doesn't get to live that one down. Ever.

Me: (after the Dwarf in the party punched me, a psionicist in 2.0) So Stumpy is taking a bath in the stream?
DM: Yes
Stumpy's Player: Do I see anything in the stream?
(Rolled a perfect natural)
DM: The water is clear except for the occasional tumbling pebble.
Me: How bad am I hurt? I took 8, my HP is down to 10.
DM: Well, Stumpy didn't crit, but you're hurting pretty bad.
Me: Contact with Stumpy? *rolled successfully"
DM: You made mental contact.
Me: Mindlink with Stumpy? *rolled successfully*
DM: Wow, success again.
SP: What is he doing to stumpy and why am I rolling?
DM: Because he's getting into his head.
Me: Use Repugnance to make him hate his junk so much he punches it.
SP: WHAT?!?!?
DM: (Laughing) This will be funny. I'm allowing it. Roll it.
I then roll a power score, which is like an ability crit in 2.0.
DM: Oh my God...Stumpy, roll your save (failed) now roll another Will save to see if you try to rip it off instead of punch it.
Me: ...Amazing
SP (after failing again): WHAT...NO.....
DM: What's even better is that you don't know why you did it, Stumpy.
SP: Crap....
Stumpy yanked on himself so hard that he blacked out and floated downstream. The rest of the party had to save him. He had a serious wound that had to be stabilized and ended up eaten by a giant, because when the rest of us could outrun the giant, Stumpy had to make a dex save to run and failed due to massively swollen, purple genitals. We gave Stumpy a gimme-roll to slice and dice his way out of the stomach, but he fumbled and actually struck himself, knocking himself unconscious in the belly of a giant.

From WotC:
Background: 3 pcs (including myself) are sent by and old powerless wizard to kill a holy knight in a town, because he has been meddling in his artifact trafficking affairs. We enter the towns church where we find the knight, when suddenly the wizards manservant appears and happens to be a vampire lord intent on his destruction.
DM: Suddenly the manservant appears, he bears long dark claws and has an unholy presence about him.
Jin: Holy &%^* he's a vampire! thats awesome! I knew he wasnt just a manservant!
Rue: (OOC) We should kill him becuase hes a vampire and hes evil, and if we sit here and watch them fight and the knight wins, he'll be pissed at us and bring a whole order of paladins down upon us
Jin: (OOC) Yea but then if we kill the vampire the old wizard dude will be pissed at us, and he probably has more than vampires at command which he'll bring down upon us
Rue: (OOC) Ok we watch them fight and kill the winner, then set the church (was the building in which all this was happening) on fire, then we can tell the wizard we killed the knight and the vampire was killed by him, unfortenetly.
Jin: (OOC) Ok awesome, but what will we do about this 2 civilians in here, if they go running out of the church theyll tell the rest of the town we burned it down and we conspire with vampires, I guess we can just tie them up and let them burn with the church.
Jin: (OOC) I run over and grapple the first civilian and tie him with my rope!

From a WotC thread about worst character names ever:
Damndirty Smartypants. I got fed up with a player not coming up with a name for his halfling rogue, so I wrote this on his sheet. He liked it.
Chico Shady - this one wasn't really the characters name, just what the group took to calling him for some reason. See, the player never actually named his character. This character existed as an NPC and was known around town merely as "that shady guy" (as in "that shady guy who sells ____".) He became a party member when a new player joined us & took control of him. It made sense as far as what was going on story wise & let him jump right in without slowing the game down. But this player is really bad at thinking up names..... So there was this one encounter where the cleric player just abitrarily named him.... And it stuck. To this day we don't know what his real name was.

I once made an extremely low INT human fighter called Pork, my one regret is that he didn't last long enough for me to give him a gnome cohort named Beans.
the first name I ever saw was: none...a guy played a ninja for 3 session and never found a name for his character. We laughed at him when he died: "this ninja was so discrete that we never heard him... or his name" ![]()
We've had a couple of themed campaigns as well. Both times it was totally spontaneous. The first time, we had a DM that decided he was going to make us roll stats in order (first stat you roll is your Str, next stat is your Dex, etc.). Of course, this restricted several of us from playing the types of characters we wanted to play, so a couple of us decided we weren't going to take the game too seriously. One guy said he was going to play an elf named Spock, and it was all downhill from there. We ended up with Jean-Luc Picard the sorcerer, James T. Kirk the rogue (me), Spock the ranger, Worf the barbarian, and Bones the cleric.
Another game with the same group ended up with Axl Rose the monk, Dee Snider the scout, Robert Plant the druid, and (my personal favorite) Nathan Explosion the sorcerer.

Most groan-worthy was a Halfling Rogue by the name of Tom Foolery.
Brutal Steve
Big Junk The Barbarian (Named after a minature that i own, that has... well lets just say hes packing)
Red The Warmage (and the Red Army whom he referd the party as)
Holy the (ex)paladin
Mother Nature the Druid. She gets very mad if you call her anything other than that.
Right now I'm in a game with Will the Wizard and Gregory the Warlock. It definitely has an effect of making the game feel rather less heroic.

From WotC, a new DM:
Fighter: "Is the door to the palace locked?"
DM: "No, it's unlocked."
Rogue: "OK, I get out my rope and grappling hook and throw it on the roof."
DM: "The roof."
Rogue: "Yes," (rolls) "I rolled a 15, does it catch anything?"
DM: "On the roof?"
Rogue: "Yes!"
DM: "I don't have a CLUE! I never mapped the ROOF! You're supposed to go in the DOOR! That's why it's UNLOCKED!"

LOL! Poor DM. It's funny how many stories similar to that one exist.

you know, sometimes the bad guys just forget to lock the front door.
honestly, when you guys went to the scary run down old druid temple being used by demon summoners and went in the front door cause it was unlocked, the guy you saw coming towards you, saw you, and screamed and ran the other way. he was coming back to lock the door. or trap the door, i honestly forget which.

As an experienced adventurer...just marching into unlocked doors usually is not the best plan.

WotC forums:
For the last mini-arc of the campaign I introduced four NPC caravan guards, and let the players play as them. They turned them into ignorant morons obsessed with cramming the word "Guard' into every sentence.
"Hey, Guard-buddies! How's your guading going?"
"Can't talk now, I'm Guarding"
****
"Wha, my Guard-brain just imploded. I've got an awesome Guard idea"
"What's that, my Guard-friend"
"Ok. We get some Dogs, OK. And we show them how to Guard things"
"Guard Things"
"Yah. Like.... Guard... Dogs..."
****
"I'll ask the Guards if they need any help, you know Guarding. Like one Guard helping out another Guard. Guard-brothers"

lol! That has the ring of being hilarious at the time.

Lol, yes, seriously.
I think that, "Wha, my Guard-brain just imploded. I've got an awesome Guard idea," is my favorite.

The old 1e Pharoah module, we know its the beginning of the Desert of Desolation campaign. Our party of largely 5th level characters is in this pyramid very early on. For reasons I don't fully recall, an Efreet shows up and starts trashing everyone. The rest of the party take action, attack, hide, run, cast spells. My thief decides its all to horrible to be true (metagaming, thought it was too early in an adventure to meet an Efreet, and we were just too low level), and declared that he was trying to disbelieve an illusion. I stood there for four or five rounds trying to disbelieve a real Efreet, whilst a large battle raged on. Fortunately, the Efreet was a plot device rather than a real adversary, and things carried on. But thinking back, if I had been DM, I would have killed me on principle.
Five full rounds might have been too much, just out of courtesy to your party mates, but I think that was good role playing. Spending two rounds to disbelieve something just because you really don't want it to be true is kind of hilarious.
Offline
Yeah, I can just imagine a character standing there with eyes closed, fingers in his ears mumbling, "this isn't real, this isn't real".
Offline
lol that's pretty terrible. I agree, 2 or maybe 3 rounds of disbelief (provided there's nothing better to do) would be fine. 5? The Efreet should have taken a swipe at him.
Offline
Yeah but I definitely don't think a DM should punish a player for something like that.

There is nothing wrong with trying to take a swing at the guy trying to disbelieve. There's nothing like a sword to the bowels to prove that something isn't an illusion, hehe.

I'm reading some of the campaign logs for the Jin and Oram game and damnit it's hilarious:
"Alright, mates. Feel free to drop your coinage with my bo'sun and board ship. Just make sure's to stay away from me crew. They bite." He snaps his teeth at Magdiel, turns on a heel, and swaggers back to his ship.
So amused. He was the captain of a ship and his name was John Swallow. ![]()

The origins of a phrase that Burt, Logan, and I occasionally bust out:
LadyAthena: Finally, the servers will bring out a large bowl with frost on the outside of it and something strange looking inside. You can choose to accept or not accept some.
Shoop: [chilled monkey brains!]
Oram: May I ask what it is before I accept?
LadyAthena: [Oh, I suppose ] They'll tell you it's called 'helado', a frozen dessert from Pais. [Pais is another country.]
Oram: I see...yeah, sure. We'll give it a shot.
Shoop: "Sure, what the hell, gimme some."
LadyAthena: They'll dish up two scoops for Jin and about five for Oram. Roll me a d20.
Shoop: [1] *GAG! Sputter, cough, heave*

Other Player: Albin will try and stop the flamming
Oram: *Oram wrinkles his nose at the stench of burning rabbit"

From our last High Seas campaign with Burt, Adam, Zach, Logan, and I.
Adam: Stabby McStabberson is my name! [Rolls, misses.]
Zach: But apparently not your game.

Burt: You know, there's an epic level spell that conjures a flight of red dragons.
Zach: That's hot.

Adam: No, no, you're going in the dungeon; that's what I have a map for. No, you can't go to town, no, you can't leave. There's a Jedi standing in the entrance and he force pulls you into the dungeon.
