06-19-05, 09:51 PM Hey everyone. A vast number of people that have played D&D have funny and/or extraordinary stories to tell about game events, so I wanted to make a thread where you guys can post them! I'll start it off...

-In my first campaign, the party and I are sneaking up on three Dueregar. I (the Sorcerer) turn to the Half-Orc Barbarian with the intelligence of an orangutan, and say:
"All right, the key to taking these guys out is with stealth and tactics."
He jumps up from under the rock we are hiding under and yells "Hi!" to the Dueregar. So much for stealth and tactics. Coincidentally, the barbarian died four times...and stayed dead the fourth time.

-In that same campaign, the DM's NPC couldn't catch a break. He was attacked by a Gensai with French Bread, caught on fire, nearly bled to death from an attack by a Reptilian Bugbear, subsequently had his bodily fluids replaced with caffiene, and was trampled on by a conga line...all in the same day.

-In a later campaign that I ran, my former DM brought his character back, albeit at a higher level. At the end of an adventure, the PC's and my NPC got a minor artifact from the BBEG that would let the posessor turn into a werewolf lord. After about half an hour (real time) of my NPC going "...or you could give it to me," my former DM decides to SWALLOW the minor artifact. The next half hour (again, real time) was occupied by the rest of the party and I going "You SWALLOWED a MINOR ARTIFACT!?!?!?"
I still think he should have been sickened...
The disgusting part? Eventually, he got it back...

Well, those are a few of mine, lets hear yours!

06-19-05, 10:35 PM Well mine's not an in-game anecdote, but is funny none the less. I was creating random stats (using Jamis' awesome NPC generator (http://www.aarg.net/~minam/npc2.cgi)) for a prostitute in my new campaign and, believe it or not, she ended up with seven ranks in Use Rope. I swear!

Two adventurers to angry mob outside of local inn, "What did he do?"
Bard leans out of third story window and points to various members of the crowd, "Oh, his wife, and his wife, and his wife...".
