[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 473795, member: 813"] Well, "Do we really have to hide in the oven?" and "Holy cow! NONE of us have opposable thumbs!" were pretty good. This one: DM: "OKay, you round the corner, and entering the alleyway, you see two men standing on eachother's shoulders." *silence at the table* Player: "F#$% it, we're fighting Cirque de Soleil! Run for your life!" Was great because I can imagine Cirque acrobats managing to stand one eachother's shoulders But my split one side award goes to die-kludge's: Another player, mimicing the sorcerer, stands up and makes a motion as if he's hurling a staff and says "feel my wrath! .... clank clank clank". Just thinking about it makes tremble with inner laughter (or is it the fear of his wrath doing it?). -- I feel I must contribute now. This was a 1st ed game only a few months ago.
