[QUOTE="GravyFingerz, post: 3399313, member: 77"] Hah, memories. Let me see what I can drudge up. [b]Story #1: Thor and the Mysoginist Dungeon[/b] B.K. was running a game and it was me, Ian, Justin, Nicole, Merci, Daniel, and Josh. As was customary, visiting the church in town (pick a church, any church, it doesn't matter) led me to be geased for wanting to be healed, for stuff that happened that I cannot remember now. As part of the geas, I had to go gather people and infiltrate a dungeon and find the treasure within. Enter the PCs, and off we go. Now Justin had an intelligent mace that could fly. He asked B.K. if he could fly like Thor (the hammer pulls him where he needs to go), and B.K. says no. Fine, game continues on. We go into the dungeon, B.K. and Daniel argue about the mechanics of a trap. Nope, not the game statistics, but the physics of the trap. This takes an hour, because neither side will admit defeat. Merci and Nicole enter the dungeon and decide that it sucks and want to leave. At this time, B.K. tells Justin to make a Will saving throw. Fails. Oops, your Intelligent Hammer is now pulling you and flying you (what, he couldn't do that before) and interposing you between the exit and Merci and Nicole's characters. Appearantly, B.K. had the hammer take over Justin, and tried to stop the females from leaving. That, and the tavern where no wenches were allowed, sorta raised doubts in us about him being completely heterosexual. Closet homosexual, at best. [b]Story #2: I Like 2-Dimensional Characters[/b] The Psionics Handbook for 3.0 had just came out, and I was very excited. B.K. bought every book like I did, in what Drowbane called the "arms race". Everytime he got a new book, he would call of us to tell us. He would then talk about what was in the book for hours. But that's another story. B.K. decided to make a Pyromancer. Fine and dandy. His character consisted of four phrases: "Nice to meet you." (with fire in outstretched palm) "Can I cook that for you?" "Need a light?" And ... "I like fire." Wow. That is some character depth. You know when a person is being humorous and satirical, and when someone is being serious. He was serious. This was his character. [b]Story #3: The Temper Tantrum[/b] We were playing at B.K.'s house one time. It was me, Justin, Daniel, Josh, and Kendal. We were on a gigantic mimic that transformed into an island out in the middle of the ocean. As we all stepped onto the island, the island depressed and we started sliding towards the fanged hole that was it's mouth in the center of the island. Kendal's character was trapped in the teeth, taking alot of damage. Josh decided to cast levitate on Kendal. Daniel, who ran the game, decided that Kendal's leg gave way, and ripped at the thigh. He made his system shock roll, and bled profusely as he was lifted into the air. B.K.'s character got stuck in the mouth, suffering 2-3 damage a round. He had over 60 hit points, and at suffering the first round of damage, he threw his dice and books down and threw a tantrum. Play stopped for an hour as we tried to reconcile him. There are more tales, but I cannot recall them all now. He isn't the worst gamer in the world, but his name, among our old group, is a general term for socially retarded. [/QUOTE]
