I had a dream that I was DMing for my two dogs:
Bowser (CG ranger) (chiwawa corgie cross male) and Zelda (CG barbarian) (pure shelty female).

This morning I went looking for their character sheets :banghead:(only for a second)

That's a crazy dream. About the craziest D&D dream I've ever had was I was running a game for the characters in my current D&D group, and they were playing the players. I remember one particular funny moment where a dwarven cleric asked me if 27 was good enough to finish his term paper...

Sometimes doing D&D stuff for too long can cause things to get weird...

Some time aqo, I had a dream about Vecna, Nerull, and Orcus being in a rock band together. The PC's didn't encounter them in the dream, but they met an artist who had depicted it in one of his masterpieces. I drew it afterward, just 'cuz it seemed so awesome.

Yeah, sometimes I draw things from my campaign, just to see how they'd look. I've drawn all the PCs (with the players describing them) in normal style and in a manner that pays tribute to OotS. I've drawn NPCs, monsters, cities... it helps relieve the stress, at the cost of about twenty notebooks...

We once came home to find my girlfriend's kittens sitting on our gaming stuff. Peanut was sitting on a character sheet. Jelly was sitting on an open Monster Manual next to the DMG. And they were both rolling dice as we walked in.

Upon noticing us, they left the room in a calm, orderly fashion.

And I was awake. With witnesses.

It could be worse, you could've found a folding chair in the dog house. So now, you're not only DMing for your house pets, but they're unsatisfied with it as well.

yes, we would.

I only have images of PC games sometimes. If you played something enough hours the last few days, when you close your eyes, you can see the game infront of you. Kinda like burned into your eyes :S
(kinda like last time if u left your monitor on something static too long, it burned into it?)

fortunately, doesnt happen to often.

we have a kitten at my place who likes to screw around with the dice while we're playing DnD. for sh*tz and giggles we rolled her p a catfolk character who is generally a DMPC. whenever comabt occurs, we put the appropriate dice in front of here, wait for her to bat it and check the result. turns out miss catfolk ranger is an incredible sniper, as she feathered three kobolds in the face last time we played

and that rockband would be absolutely friekin awsome to see

That is absolutely the greatest player I've ever heard about. Especially since Miss Catfolk Ranger won't go around talking about what powerful new build she made and whine about how she can't get along with players or DM.

I once had a dream where I was running a game for me, me, me, me and me.

There was a me in my 80s, I aged well, went silver but kept my hair, playing a middle aged pseudo-Anglican cleric.

There was a me in a respectable grey suit, I think I was a civil servant, playing a happy go luck paladin.

There was a female me who seemed to own the games shop we where in, playing a chauvinistic dwarven wizard.

There was a cyborg (quite borg but with cleaner lines, a cyberman breastplate and a purple colour scheme) me playing a druid.

There was a me who looked like a hybrid with me and Lord Havelock Vetinari of the discworld, playing a rogue.

We got into a debate over who was more badass, Judge Dredd or Terry Pratchett.

One of the coolest D&D dreams I heard about was one a friend had. We were still in high school at the time and played even more than we do now (once a week now). He dreamt that we were all somehow pulled into the game world and became our characters. Life was switched from fanatasy to reality. He had a very descriptive explanation of the whole thing and it sounded like it was pretty cool. I remember him saying something about being disappointed when he woke up.... Guess that's what you get when you play super characters. ;)

I'll consider it. I remember a few interchanges that were hilarious. My wife (played by her character, a human bard) had to make a Will save to resist going insane when one of our kids colored the wall using spaghetti. As I recall the elven ranger (playing my lawyer friend) kept cheating on his rolls... I remember yelling at him to "roll where I can see it".

Vecna's the singer, Nerull's on guitar, and Orcus is on drums. Yes, I know it would be awesome for Vecna to emulate the drummer from Def Leppard, but that's not how I visualized it. Sorry.

Last I checked only 1 in 4 report seeing colours, only 1 in 10 full colour (mine tend to be moncrome + purple). About 1 in 6 can hear but well over 1 in 2 can taste or smell.

About 1 in 1000 report being frequently blind in all their dreams.

I get some sound and some non-sound dreams, but only remember a handful of dreams a year.

Now that I recall, I remember really weird dreams in my past, ranging from D&D-related to a Legend of Zelda dream to a truly horrifying dream that involved eating fistfuls of cockroaches.

One of my favorite D&D dreams involved D&D as an MMORPG. (NOT "D&D Online." Ugh. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.) I soon realized that it was "broken," because a Bard with Brew Potion could become one of the richest players in existence simply by devoting his/her time towards making Potions of Glibness.

02-22-08, 07:08 AM
well, I had a weird DnD dream last night, most likely thanks to reading this right before I went to bed. I had monsters as the players characters, and here's a rundown of the roster

Jocko: a dopplganger with a mean disposition, he kept asking me where the salt was. he played a female elven druid.

Racist(that WAS his name): a choker playing my half-dragon barbarian, we gave him chocolate closer to the end of the session and he blew up.

Klauth: yes, I had the dragon of the sword coast in my campaign. no, only his head was inside the house. he played a dread necromancer multiclassing as a Cleric of Wee jas. how he even knew about the deity, since he is from faerun, is up for debate.

Rob: well, he was dead. animated enough to roll the damn dice, but otherwise his head kinda hung backwards and he stared at the ceiling. we decided this was the best position because if we positioned his head to the side he looked at us and it creeped everybody out, and too many jokes came out when he was looking at his crotch. needless to say, we just kinda made him our *ahem* meatshield, as he was a barbarian zombie in game as well. somehow, Klauth translated his groans

the session went like this:

...

DM(Me): you awaken to find that--
Jocko: the Man i slept with is gone? that free loading son of a B*tch
DM: well, uh no. he's still there, but his throat's been cut
Jocko: can i have some salt? I want to put it on the corpse?
DM: do mean in game?
Rob: Groooooooaaaaaan... Grooan.. Gran.
Klauth: i think he said he wants a new axe
DM: just go steal it from the local shop. last time I checked, your chaotic, and your character sheet says reckless.
Jocko: I'm changing my alignment, alright?
DM: for the last time, chaotic sarcastic is not an alignment.
Racist: cmon! get up! it's time to go slaughter something!

...

and it went on like that for what seemed like two or three hours. we never did get out of the inn. then I woke up. I'd fallen asleep in my favorite chair (the same one i'd been sitting in in the dream) watching TV. I actually expected to see little pieces of decayed flesh where Rob used to be, and the hole in the wall where klauth stuck his neck through. at least i didn't go looking for their character sheets.

02-22-08, 07:53 AM
I created a whole prestige class while dreaming
I woke up and wrote it down

all Hail my Famous Archer

FAMOUS ARCHER

The reasons to be an adventurer are many and diverse. Some fight for the money, some for the honor, some other for the fame. A famous archer is indeed one of the latter, and to some degree has already achieved his desires.
Tales of his prowess travel faster than wind and spreading from mouth to mouth and feeding his growing ego.
Becoming a famous archer doesn’t require a strict moral code or a particular training. It needs good chance, a vast amount of skill and just a little bit of luck.
Similarly there is no precise way to become one. Winning a great archery competition, saving a village from a raging ogre or destroying the same village itself are all eligible means to qualify for the class, as long as some witness recognize an impressive display of archery talent and spread the tale.
Fighters and Rangers are usually the best candidates to become a famous archer, nonetheless bards are also lured to make themselves a name as famous archers and even some rogues cannot resist the temptation to show off.

Requisites: Point blank shot, precise shot, weapon focus (any bow or crossbow), BAB +6
Special: You must impress a lot of people with your archery skills

Class Skills: Appraise, Balance, Bluff, Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Disguise, Hide, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge, Listen, Move silently, perform, profession, ride, search, speak language, spot, swim, tumble
Skill point: Int+4

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency:
All type of bow and crossbow

Level BAB Fort Ref Will Special
1 +1 2 0 0 Trick shot 1/day, TS: Insight shot
2 +2 3 0 0 -
3 +3 3 1 1 Trick shot 2/day
4 +4 4 1 1 TS: Repeated Shot
5 +5 4 1 1 Trick shot 3/day
6 +6 5 2 2 -
7 +7 5 2 2 Trick shot 4/day, TS: Far Shot
8 +8 6 2 2 -
9 +9 6 3 3 Trick shot 5/day
10 +10 7 3 3 TS: Fast Shot

Trick shot:
1 per odd level per day the famous archer can use a special Trick shot as a standard action.

Trick shot: Insight Shot
At the cost of a Trick shot use, the famous archer adds his charisma modifier to his attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per class level

Trick shot: Repeated Shot
At the cost of a Trick shot use the famous archer may forfeit the attack roll and use the last attack roll used. The Repeated shot can be used only if the same conditions of the past roll persist onto the same target of the previous roll, if the target gains or loses AC, cover or other conditions which renders the attack roll easier or harder the famous archer can’t use the repeated shot. Successful Critical hits must be confirmed again but a +5 bonus is applied.

Trick shot: Far Shot
At the cost of a Trick shot use the famous archer can shot a bow or a crossbow up to twice it’s normal range without suffering any modifier for the distance.

Trick shot: Fast Shot
At the cost of a Trick shot use the famous archer can make an attack as a free action at his maximum attack bonus.

Ex Famous Archers:
The power of a Famous archer comes from his confidence, and his confidence comes from his fame. A famous archer must constantly fuel his fame in order to maintain his powers. If the name and achievements of a famous archer are for some reason forgotten the famous archer loses all his Trick shot uses and cannot advance in this class until he regain his fame.

That's a crazy dream. About the craziest D&D dream I've ever had was I was running a game for the characters in my current D&D group, and they were playing the players. I remember one particular funny moment where a dwarven cleric asked me if 27 was good enough to finish his term paper...


That's hilareous, but not too crazy. There was a hysterical moment in Shrek 3 where a couple of school geeks were playing D&D, but because they already live in a magical world they were playing bank managers etcetera.
At least, I think that's what it was.

The 1st edition PHB had a picture of a wizard watching 2 fighters play a PnP RPG, with all their books spread out and one of the fighters explaining it to the wizards. The caption was "It's this game called Papers & Paychecks--we pretend to be a menial worked in a technologically developed world."
