Reading through here, I haven't actually had any experiences with players as creepy as this... I do have one story that's worth telling, though... Unfortunately, it involves me. Rest assured that I have never stolen any cars, attempted to cast any real spells, or specified the private dimensions of my hermaphroditic characters... I did play one character who may or may not have been a hermaphrodite, however -- we never pretended to understand for sure.
You see, I once played an illithid in an evil campaign. And, along our "quest," we wanted to get into the compound of this one evil sorceress, for reasons that aren't important to the story.
What is important to the story, is that among her many hobbies and accomplishments, this woman was a collector of the world's most vile pornography. (I think she was taken straight from the BoVD, whose purchase by our DM inspired said game.) Upon hearing that, I formulated an appropriately devilish scheme: The compilation of a unique tome, "The Sexual Confessions of a Mind Flayer," the sale of which would lead to the infiltration of her compound.
Anyway, we met, got invited in, sold her the book... We realized once we got there, though, that it would take longer than we'd expected to find what we needed. We took account of our options, and once it occurred to us that seducing this woman (who was a tiefling, I should mention) would make an exceedingly effective strategy...
Now, it's not as though we went into it in any more detail in that, in game. But we didn't need to. Like most gamers, we all had irrepressible imaginations, and there was a moment of terribly awkward silence as the weird details of such an encounter played out in our minds...
As it is, now, in yours, I pray.

I played percussion in the school band for 3 years and gamed for 3 years with a guy who killed someone right after high school because, "I wanted to see what it was like." He made sure he did it before he was 18 because, "I didn't want to get punished as an adult. I'm still a kid, so what can they do?"
He took two friends, though I somehow doubt the victim was a friend really, to a place out in the country to shoot at targets. When the "friend" went down to change the targets he was shot repeatedly. At the end he walked down and put another one in the kids head to make sure. The other 'friend' just went along with things until they got home and he could tell his parents. I was always amazed that nobody dragged the D&D angle into it, as this happened in the 1980s.
He was always a little off at the game table and instigated a few fist fights, but I never had a clue he was that off.

...but it wouldn't say "ERIC" in the front cover. I guess I'm sentimental like that.Barendd Nobeard said:

Yay! A winnar is us!
Of course, this is hardly a victory, considering that what we win is a lifetime of having to remember these events...

It's probably better for your Sanity.
However, if you should someday decide to read it, for the Love of God do not google for any of the names found there!
There are many people who wished that they had heard this advice before reading it...
Ahh, then there's though of us that read every single page, including the warnings and still had our eyes melted....
I feel like I did when I was a little kid and some one said "Don't touch that, it's very hot..." except now, no amount of soap or animal programs will every make me feel like I did before I stuck my finger in the flame....

Listen to this man. He is wise. I read the advice, thought about what I was about to do, and then said to myself "Really, how bad could it be?" I typed the name in Google Image Search.Jürgen Hubert said:
And then I just started screaming. I've only failed a few SAN checks in my life, but that was right up there on the list.
