"I'm roleplaying!!!"

[BigCat]

Hi folks. I'm trying to track down a classic tale of awful players. The bit I remember is that one player is playing a ninja, who does nothing but sneak after the party, cling under their wagon, and hide from them. When asked why his character never participates in the action, the player yells "I'm a ninja! I'm roleplaying!!!" Anyone have any clue what this story is and where I might find it?

Do a Google search for Ab3 "El Disgusto" and it should come up.

I can't remember if they're all collected in one place anywhere, but El Disgusto is the player who always plays the ninja.

Ahhh, the Ab3 stories. God they're funny. Unfortunately it seems like the pages are no longer there.

It isn't D&D but another good PnP story-series, that is quite comedic are The Michelle Chronicles. It is a oWoD Vampire game/couple LARP scenes.
