[QUOTE="Sleeping Dragon, post: 3430823, member: 10019"] Not to mention the brown stains that kept appearing on my character's pants...had I been able to work out an in-character way for Gugeno to know it was you there'd have been hell to pay :p Also from the world of online games...I ran an evil group once over OpenRPG and one member of the group decided he was bored of his current character. He announced to the rest of the group that he was going to have to leave the game due to RL concerns, while telling me about his new character concept...an imp that followed the party around. Due to his at will invisibility spell-like ability, the imp could follow the party without them even realising he was there. The player showed up in our room claiming to be a lurker and whispered the imp's actions to me, generally doing things that caused chaos (making strange illusions, dropping items from the air to cause sudden noises, stealing things and having them reappear in bizarre places, etc.) There was only one PC in the party with a good enough Spot score to actually notice the invisible creature around them, and that was the party's assassin, who was insane anyway so the other PCs just ignored him when he said they were being followed (in fact they generally blamed the mad assassin for the strange things happening around them, adding to the hilarity). This went on for about twenty sessions (roughly five months out of game) before the player got bored of the charade and had his character openly appear (which was shortly followed by a near-TPK that ended the campaign.) Obviously, this could have never worked at a table-top game, but in an online format it was brilliant. [/QUOTE]
