Fatherly Gaming Tales

Okay, everyone! Time to tell your tales of gaming with your kids or with your father or with someone else who was with their kids or father, as the case may be. I want to read some good ones and will likely be awarding some free prizes to those with the best stories! Feel free to make them up if you must, but be sure to label it at the end as fan fic. :D

Waaaay back in the day, my brother and I roped my dad into playing Keep on the Borderlands with us. We made him his character, a gnome illusionist, and started playing. Naturally we start in a tavern. We meet the mysterious stranger, get the job to go kill some goblins (all the loot you recover is yours!) and settle our bill:

Dad: "A beer is a copper piece?! I have 42 gold! Do you know how long we can drink for that much money?!"

All adventure long dad's complaining "there's no pit traps in the bar! Let's go back!" "No goblins ambush you in a bar!" "Look 19 gp! Beer for a month! Let's go back!" :D

Not strictly gaming, but gaming-related:

When Kate was about a year and a half old, one of her first words (after "daddy, mommy, ball and dog") was "die", for all the dice Daddy played with. One day, I took her with me on a visit to Games Plus, and, recognizing where we were, she ran into the store screaming "die! die! die!" as she ran to the dice case. I'll always treasure the look of everyone in the store looking at this sweet little blonde-haired girl with her bloodcurdling gaming-store war cry. :)

Oh, that's gaming related and hilarious! :D
 

Speaking of mimicing...

During a recent KotS run through I was enjoying the encounter with the Gelatinous Cube. So much so that I made little "Quook, Quook" sounds when the Cube slammed a PC, or "Thruuup" sound when it envelped someone.

DM (me): "The Cube, catches Raven (female rogue played by my best friends wife) off guard and slams into her for 13 points of damage.

Dragonborn Paladin (9 year old Christina): "Quook, Quook!"

:lol: Hilarity ensued.
