Learning that Vin Diesel used to play kind of wrecked my head a little. Huh?

After defeating anything, be it an orc or the tarrasque, my players tend to respond the same way, namely: "what's for lunch?"

What the hell? That's like...I don't know what that's like. ::smacks player around the head over great distance::

Personally, I have always wanted to play a ghost in D&D. A character who dies and it becomes a minor inconvenience to him. When I'm the DM, sometimes PCs die. It sucks for the player, but adventuring's a dangerous game. Characters die. Everybody dies. Live with it, I say.

Yesterday, in my all-wizard game: The party disguised themselves to escape their pursuers. Half-orc: We look like a circus troupe. Diviner: We are a circus troupe!

High pitched and whiney - that's what I hear. Except it's Wallace Shawn.

If it were me, there's a scenario I'd explore. I'd use a similar plot device to that in Doug Naylor's "Last Human", which was a (darker) Red Dwarf novel. I'd have the PCs stumbling upon the bodies of all but one of them, the corpses having been dead a shorter time (say a few weeks). They...

Am I the only one who hears Wallace Shawn's voice when he reads the Monster in the Darkness's dialogue?

Ha!

Groups of sailors going around singing "Nothing Like a Dame" Just a thought. "Uruk Ha'i"? "Some Enchanter Evening?" (cough cough) ::sheepishly sidles offstage::

Old 1E game. Very first campaign. Very first character. DM: There's three gorgons chasing you. Me (mage): Run! Buddy: We run through the nearest door and close it. DM: OK. You've escaped the gorgons. Me: I'll handle this! I prepare a fireball and open the door. When the door's open I fling the...

That's what I said! I guess some people are just different to us, Moonie.

Oh, and one more. I was playing a Wookie when I guested in a Star Wars campaign. Player: "We've got to get out of here before they come back with more guards." Me: "OOOHHHRR..WRAAAW...OOOOR...ROOOA." (pause) Player (to me, not my character): "I swear to God, if you do that again, I will...

Me, trying to con someone: "I am Lord Marchley, and this is my colleague, Lord Smellers." Other player: "I don't want to be Lord Smellers!!" Other player: "What do you think of the plan?" Me: "I like it." Other player: "Well, that settles it. We're not doing it." Hunter: The Reckoning Other...

I am so stealing that.

There are too many to list. My favourites: The party's wizard gets annoyed for some reason by the half-dragon. Her response: "Shut up, or I'll wear your skin as armour and get magic powers." We all think that's a great line for any occasion. Having killed a giant, the party wander away. The...

I absolutely agree with the people who say "screw the rules". Don't get me wrong here - of course you don't need a rule for everything. But if you had my players... "You can't heal him. Let him male a deathbed speech." "But he's still alive. Why can't I heal him?" "Because he's making his...

Thing is, under current rules, you can't make 'em. Once you drop to 0hp, you're alive but basically helpless. If you go down one more, you're unconcious and dying. You can't be dying while you're still concious. Does anybody have any alternate rules to allow you to be awake while the life ebbs...

Got to agree with that one. The more players you have (once high school finishes - we learned that one the hard way), the harder it is to get together. Most of our campaigns have 4 players, and in fact we pretty much ruled out going any higher than five ages ago, since it's just too hard to...

Bug's Bunny is absolutely Chaotic Neutral. He basically does whatever he likes. It'd be easy to think he was Good, but consider: He never attacks first - he only ever retaliates. And when he does, he uses extreme force to do so. A Good character would stop when he's made his point. Bugs just...
