My nephew was playing D&D with his grandmother and she ran into a group of goblins so she decided to send her staff to fight them. She thought it was a group of people that worked for her.  Feel free to share any silly or fun D&D you have. Now that I think about it a magical Staff of staff summoning might not be so bad. Your Magical Staff of staff  summoning summons 2 accountants, 1 secretary, 1 slacker and 1 janitor, lol.

Yeah, I've had at least two players attempt to enter combat wielding their iron rations over the years. I suppose swingin a bag with a weeks supply of mixed nuts and dried fruit around is at least a d4 dmg? Con save if the target had a peanut allergy I guess.

Funny canon thing: D&D 3.5 starter set, with their basic rulebook. THey specifically mention that Magic Missile does not summon actual rockets or ICBMs.

Commanding a team of specialists as they fight monsters and gather gold for you might be a fun game in and of itself though.

 

There was sort of a game like that where you manage a city and train adventurers and could generally direct them where to go on the map, but they would act and fight on their own and would buy weapons, armor and magic items from the shops you set up. The name eludes me right now.

That reminds me of the person who thought "Turn Undead" was a kind of self-buff that turned the cleric into an undead.

 

It's a good story, at least.

If a quarterstaff is about 6-ft long, doesn't that mean that a staff is about 24-ft long? My friends and I had a good time with that logic growing up. (and yes, I know why it's actually called a quarterstaff. don't ruin the joke please)

To be honest I always found it ridiculously amusing that Drow is "word" spelled backwords.

That's right up there with the classic story of attacking the Gazebo.

Ok, not specifically D&D related, but I have to share this here. Years ago, my mother was telling me about someone who was acting downright crazy. She told me they should be sent to the "Insanist Island."

 

It took me a few seconds to realize that her whole life, she didn't realize what an Insane Assylum was and that she had grown up calling it an Insanist Island and nobody had ever realized what she was saying and corrected her.

Wow, can you imagine that place? Every insane patient in the world sent to ONE island. Crazy.

Reminds me of someone saying "I spray them with my mace" before being told that the item on the list was something else entirely.

I'm not even going to go into detail about the time a thief tried to open someone's chest.

"It's a mummy!"

 

"I tidy my room."

Fun fact: the mummy is the only monster that doubles as a Swiffer.
