So I had these guys in an old abandoned factory (long story short, Mr. and Mrs. factory owner were using the factory to hide their illegal operation of grabbing corpses and sending them to Haiti for zombie making). Anyway, They're nearing the end of the session and are fighting Mr. and Mrs., having missed the second floor where a surprise had been waiting for them. Basically, these vodoun practitioners had come up with "Zombie Glue," a substance that can put back together zombies that are apart and keep the reanimation firm. In fact, you don't even need the right head attached to the right body for it to work. So they had experimented with a bunch of body parts, put together a mutant zombie with way to many legs and arms and stuff, and left it upstairs.Well, this guy had telepathy and he read the mind of Mr. Factory Owner to check for these images and I showed the player what he had done with this poor violation of human flesh, crawling slowly along the floor. The player went ballistic, let alone the character. He screamed in fury announced he grabbed the factory owner by the throat and starting to squeeze. The other characters finally called in assistance and convinced the character that it wasn't worth it. In the end the player announced that his character burst into tears and left the building.Then the player congratulated me for actually breaking his character. He had gotten three other tables' worth of people to turn and listen in when this happened.It was cool.The only other cool thing that happened was that the last night I was there, I did one more game demo at midnight, after 36 hours of demos. In the middle of the game a player asked me a question and while I answered him I closed my eyes to work out what was happening to his character......And fell asleep. Still talking. Shook myself awake and said , "Right." The guy looks at me and asks, "Did you just fall asleep?" I said, "Yes, but was I making sense?" "He assured me I had, "And I said "Oh, good," and continued on with the game.</blockquote>
