Dorkiest Thing You've Ever Done in Gaming...

[Flobby]

Okay this wasn't me. But I used to work at a pizza parlor with a gamer friend. It was slow one day and he went back in the boxing room to get, well, boxes. Wondering what was taking him so long, I went back and he had fashioned armor, shield and sword out of pizza boxes, foil, and two spatulas - possing and whispering battle cries.

No joke.

Most of my dorkiness in games has come down to NPCs names. I have a tendency to pun, really badly, when it comes to NPC names or to come up with super cheesy names. Such as...

Cardinal Richlu, cardinal of the Silver Flame and main villain in one of my Eberron games.

Jennifer Luvewwit

Captain Thaddeus Dynamo, Son of Ether (and his daughter, Tank)

P'ame'la A'nderson, elven princess

Dane Bramage, Ventrue Primogen

 

[Steely Dan]

P'ame'la

…Borat?

I was playing in a LARP system and developed a schtick for my thief. I wore this outfit of pink towels that my wife made. It was actually a pretty comfortable outfit, lots of room to move around in and helped wick the sweat away from my body. Anyway, we had to stop at a local Walmart to pick up some food and water supplies. Now, this was early on a Sunday morning. We were all in costume. I don't embaress easily, so I am my friends didn't care. The store was still relatively empty at this time and our group garnered lots of attention, as the emplyees begane to follow us. So we did what any good group of RPers would do: We decided to screw with their heads. I got my supplies and then started to drift towards housewares with a couple of employees in tow. Eventually I got to the bathroom area and found where they kept the towels. I spent a few minutes looking through them and grabbed this nean lime green towel. I turned to the emplyees that had been following me and asked "Do you think I would look good in this?" They literally ran away. After that point, anytime our LARP group would show up in costume, they would pretty much leave us alone.

I was a bit of an idiot as a player one time and shouted at other players in character. I still cringe at that.

I was playing in a LARP

You win

My dorkiest moment was when my players got distracted and started talking about the Goonies and the traps in that movie. So, to get my beloved attention back, I did the "Truffle Shuffle"... Damn near killed 2 of my players, they were laughing so hard.

I'm waiting for someone to say "Worn a cowled robe as DM."

*starts to say something, sees Mercurius' post, clears throat and slinks away* Umm... yeah... never done that... *ahem*

Does it make it any better if I was a player, not the DM?

 

[Umbran]

You win.

Well, hold on there just a sec...

Another larp story: We were playing a theater-style game (no swinging sticks at each other) at a local sci-fi con. Wound up wandering through the con space in a conga-line, dancing, carrying signs saying, "We are invisible."
