Have you ever gotten into a fight on game night?

[King_Stannis]

Just after I started cruising this site, coming up on 2 years now, there was a really funny thread started by Sir B________ (I can't remember the rest of his name! ). It was one of the most enjoyable threads I've ever seen here. Stories about crybaby munchkins getting slapped and then bawling about it, "old fashioned donnybrooks", tables being tipped over. Great stuff!

We have so many new members, I was wondering if they had any stories of their own to add. Or if you old timers want to retell your stories, that'd be great too.

(Un)fortunately, my groups have always been fairly harmonious, so it's never gotten physical.

But what about you?

About the worst I have seen is an empty 2 litre coke bottle being hurled with some force at a real gimp of a player towards the end of one of our old style 36 hour straight gaming sessions (what can I say, we were young and the coffee was strong). It even gave us a quote that we still say from time to time... "you could have my eye out with that!"

One time my players tied up a problem player to his chair in duct tape. Another time the same player got a little rowdy and a few people tried to hold him back. Then he kicked my little sister. Needless to say he didn't find himself invited back since THAT fiasco.

I got pushed down a flight of stairs in a Vampire LARP once.

A girl playing a Brujah was going on and on about how a wedding that was taking place was a disgrace becasue they said :Man and Wife" instead of "man and Woman" in the vows.

I assumed she was doing this in character, and proceeded to explain that "the whole frickin' ceremony was simply a nod toward ritual, so if they want ritual, why should you change it"?

She got shriller, I got louder...and she (very much "out of character") pushed me down the flight of stairs.

She was hot

Well I don't know about FUNNY, but this happened a while ago.

I was playing a paladin/cleric. I had a sword that acted like a holy avenger, so when the group was attacked by a Vrock, I used the Holy Avenger ability to dispel it's magic effect (it was using Reverse Gravity.) Unfortunately this pissed off the former paladin that had wielded the sword that was unholy at the time (He likes going Blackguard alot.) Anyway he then dropped the iron door on me (I was standing in the doorway) I ended up getting smooshed, and the two other party members, one of them my friend, the other his girlfriend at the time, argued and then fought him. Then his girlfriend disintergrated him, for attacking my friend. My friend say something snide and he got mad, and threw an ashtray at him. Needless to say we quit then.

This dm I had for a short time smashed a player in the face with a 2nd addition dmg and gave him a bloody knose.

I was playing Bushido for the first time. One of the other players, who was nuts on everything oriental, thought I wasn't taking that samurai stuff seriously enough and hit me in the head. I thought MA classes taught discipline, too

Anyway, I didn't play bushido with them again.

Two of my players once brought a real-life issue to the gaming table and then proceeded to pick a fight (edit: IRL, that is) with each other - fuuun!

BTW, we were - as always - playing at my place and I felt that, in addition to the fact that I don't want my friends to beat each other up if I can help it, I really didn't want a brawl in the place where I live. (I'm also the oldest of our group, and invariably the GM - so I feel that I have a certain responsibility to .)

So when they were about to get physical, I stepped between them and told them in no uncertain terms that I don't tolerate this kind of thing at my place and that they were to stop it immediately - or else I'd slam their heads together as often as necessary to make them stop.

I also made sure not to place blame or show favoritism towards either of them (even though one - the one that also would have won the fight quite handily had I not interfered, BTW - is a far better friend of mine than the other guy ever was).
Therefore, both could easily back down without "losing face" or whatever.

And they did.

Tantrum

There was no fight, but here goes...

Well, many years ago (around 1990), we had this player that was an idiot and a patological liar. One night, he was doing poorly on dice, so when he rolled a 1, he threw his 20 sider in the other room.

Red faced, he got up and spent a minute retreiving his die. On the following attack roll, he rolled another one, and proceeded to throw the die again in the other room, totally mad. We started chuckling through clenched teeth.

He goes again, spends time fishing the polyhedron, and comes back, looking like a total moron. He rolls again, ANOTHER 1. The moron throws it so hard we hear the *clonk* on the wall of the other room.

We explode with laughter, his face a nice blood red, he gets up to retreive it again, but this time, after 5 minutes, can't find it. It is g.o.n.e..

We never found the poor 20 sider.

I feel guilty enjoying this thread, but I just can't stop reading...Arg *gurgle*
