Don't believe me? Try playing with it one session and then without it the next. It makes the whole session go way smoother.

06-06-06, 12:41 PM 17. Black candles with purple flames, snarling two-headed dogs chained to the wall, and a fresh cup of Arkturan Mega-Juice. What? Doesn't everybody have this stuff at their sessions?

All kidding aside...
18. My special, homemade DM screen.

19. Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew (I don't like it, but everyone else does), and Doritos.

Not quite the same but we once managed to de-rail a game because of "scooby doo traps." You know, the kind where you go up the stairs and then it turns into a downward ramp really fast causing you to slip down. After that it got mentioned in just about every gaming session.

Not quite, it was supposed to be about how great canadian bacon pizza is. Though I guess LCD2YOU saved the thread from being an abysmal thread about pizza.

Uncle Meat
06-06-06, 03:30 PM 23. At least one comment questioning a mini's gender.

We completely lost our focus for over an hour one night because someone realized that the wand being held by a Ral Partha miniature totally looked a marital aid. No end to the comments and references, but it sure spiced things up!
The_Unfan
06-06-06, 03:35 PM Is it just me or do we have two number 31s, pizza listed twice, and aren't miniatures and battle maps seperate items? What's the official count at?
hmmmm
06-06-06, 03:41 PM 42-43 I would think.

*door bell rings*
Player of the Paladin: I detect evil!
Others: Dude...no RPing now. It's break time. *gets the pizza*
Pally Player: No seriously, I detect ev...
*at this point the cat remembers who acted out the brain sucking and proceeds to launch a clawed pounce attack on the offenders rear*
hmmmm
06-06-06, 05:46 PM 42. *Playing in a resterant, waiter comes up*
Player 1. "Give me ale now wench."
Player 2. "And me one good meal, how many silver picese?"
Player 3. "I require some trail rations, where be they found?"
GM. "That will be one....."
Mortecareus
06-06-06, 06:00 PM Puns. Really, really bad ones. My favourite (and one of the few actual good ones) from a recent game was 'comedy double axe'. I'm thinking of making it a magic item; it gives +2 to all Perform (comedy) checks.
Vaalingrade Ashland
06-06-06, 06:01 PM 44. Some of that old school ultra violence

45. The look of mixed terror and admiration when you inform the players that they were just stymied by a bard of two CR below them who you rolled in the open for.
Tristan
06-06-06, 06:14 PM hmm, Pizza distracts the players, so does food and drinks. Its just a fact.

06-06-06, 08:05 PM 47. A goat. After all, what's DnD without a blood sacrifice?
Kraleck
06-07-06, 09:25 AM 48. Music for mood.

A little backstory. My DM mixes and burns his own CDs. He puts the player on shuffle and, for Gygax only knows what reason, every time we get into a combat situation, "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" always plays. Strange, I know.

49. The obssessive (mundane item) collecting character.

More backstory. One of my fellow player's characters collected chalk pieces just for the hell of it. Accumulated over 200 pieces in a single session. He was a wierd sort of guy by normal people's standards.

50. DM Deus Ex Machina.

Backstory again. Same DM and Players. A Troll gets impaled by a Gore to the back by a Minotaur NPC just as I am about to get killed. Minotaur gets one of his horns broken off by BBEG who escapes with it just as I am aiming a ranged attack.
The_Unfan
06-07-06, 09:33 AM 48. Music for mood.

I once made a mix CD for D&D purposes, but it basically made the game stall as every time a new song came on people would ask who it is followed by in depth music discussion. It was basically a one shot game kill. Never again.

StarDrifter
06-15-06, 01:22 AM 65. Moments of forehead slapping and shouts of D'oh!
Such as the time my halfling with goggles of night and cloak of arachnida was sneaking down the inside wall of the well to see what's down there, only to have the barbarian waiting up top lower a sword enchanted with the light spell down to help me see. It certainly helped that scrag see me. :OMG!

72. Arguments about whether or not the mage had "Mordenkainen's faithful watchdog" cast.
Lord_Bahamut
06-16-06, 03:04 PM 73. Weird Al. Ya gotta have Weird Al.

74. PVC pipe wrapped in foam to hit fellow players with.:fight!:

76. Getting that 1/1,000,000 chance of intantly killing the Tarrasque :eek:

You're days are numbered!

78. Back in the day when I didn't have a mortgage and a shoestring budget my old group would order vast quantities of Chinese Food. I love using those Paper cartons with the chopsticks... Couldn't game for long with out making a delivery order to the Chinese Restaurant.
darkelf2110
06-17-06, 01:27 AM Multiple cases of Mt. Dew, just to help stay awake. (My group doesn't start playing until 11pm). And lots of snackage(chips, cookies, a cake, pizza) helps too. Also, the dwarf trying to have sex with anything he can and some things he can't (Gelatinous Cube)
