[QUOTE="Kristivas, post: 2808369, member: 34179"] [B]Best/worst moments in a role-playing game[/B] [B]Best[/B] - Getting back together with my friends to play DnD. I made a Warforged who called humans and demihumans 'meatbags'. When he began to respect a person, he stopped calling them that. The rogue was the only one who hadn't earned his respect (due to being a butthole). So, one day, the rogue just gets real mad at being called a meatbag and challenged my WF to a duel outside. (We are, by the way, in Sharn) So, the duel goes down and the Warforged is severely beating the hell out of the rogue (unarmed, they were both fighting with fists). The rogue gets even angrier and draws his short swords. At that point, my WF lifts him up and tosses him off the side of the railing (being Sharn, the inn was hundreds of feet in the air). My grapple checks are high, he rolls a 1. DM even let him try a reflex to grab onto the edge, at which point he rolled a 4. It had been my WF's intention to dangle him over the edge and scare him, however.. the DM caused him to be tossed extravegantly over the side to fall to his doom. [B]Worst[/B] - The wizard and the sorcer of the group become interested in Necromancy during a Ravenloft game that was going really well (good story and everything). I'm playing a cleric and a friend of mine is playing a paladin. Well, we alert the constables to the tomes in the wizard's bag (some stuff he picked up, like "Book of the Created" and the like) and the wizard was arrested. Well, he managed to break free of his cell that night and on his way out, saw a sleeping guard. Well, he decided to go totally CE at that point and murdered the guy in his sleep. What's WORSE, he strung the body up over the judge's desk. The sorceress caught him, and she decided to join him. The paladin woke up as they were breaking into the stables to escape. He wakes my cleric and we confront, and beat the poo out of, the two casters. The next day, they're both burned at the stake. The bad side of it was, the DM didn't want to continue the game.. because the wizard wanted his next character to be the wizard's brother, looking for revenge. [B]Books/televison/movies/media/events of 2005 that shaped your game[/B] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (book) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (movie) Serenity (movie) Batman Begins (movie) Stargate SG-1 (tv) Stargate Atlantis (tv) Battlestar Galactica (tv) Surface (tv) Nip/Tuck (tv) - better explain this one.... Nip/Tuck has a lot of emotional drama, and including some of this stuff into a dark and sinister game can really really bring out some good effects. [/QUOTE]
