Is it just me or do the majority of these sad incidents occur at LARPS?
We've had a few over the years, mostly in college...another odd coincedence.
When Chairman_Kaga and I were at Penn State we gamed with a bunch of guys who we later found out to be VERY good friends although they acted like they were just casual gaming buddies. It was he and I and two other guys from our dorm in this group with the six of them. The DM, had written this spelljammer campaign that had us go to this planet that was enslaved by a "fierce beast", after a whole lot of silliness, we finally confront the critter and it turns out to be a dragon of some sort. I was playing a cleric/fighter and the Chairman was a mage/druid. We threw everything we had at the critter and...nothing. Kaga did almost 350 pts of damage by himself and...nothing.
Well, 15 rounds later, only the dm's roommate (bard) and one other guy are alive and the bard finally hit the thing and poof...it died. It went from indestructible to crying like an infant in one attack.
The next night, at work, we overheard the dm laughing with another player about how stupid the freshmen (us) were last night...and how the dragon was healed by magic, and if we had just used all our abilities to protect the chosen one, it would have been so quick.
As it turns out, only a certain sword wielded by a certain person (the DM's roommate and best friend who had joined the campaign more than halfway thru) could hurt the beast. NOTHING else worked.
He had never even hinted at this beforehand. He then indicated that his group did this periodically to noobs to make them remember their place. The Chairman took a pan of ziti (we worked at the dining commons) and whacked the guy in the head. He lost his job, but the dm needed 12 stitches, and the Chairman found a new job soon enough.

I've been in quite a few game fights. I think the fact that I placed with hoo-ah ROTC brats compounded the problem, we always wanted to fight 
The most noteworthy was when i was DMing and pissed of my friend Doug. I can't remember what it was about, but he got a two-handed grip on my throat and proceeded to choke the life out of me. I tried to warn him I had a dagger up my sleeve but I couldn't talk. I finally stuck him in the back, he let go, and I ran back behind the table. We kind of broke up laughing over how a silly game caused this.
Another time I was playing over at my friend Bob's house and we got pretty pissed at each other. Again I can't remember why, some stupid game thing. Anyway, he got madder and madder and I said something like "I'm gonna kick your ass! But I like your grandma, lets not screw up her house and go outside faggot!" He agreed. Bob walked out the front door, I locked it behind him, and went back to finish DMing the game for that night. Tough game with only 2 players, but that meant more loot.
That stuff was years ago, I thought I had gotten over that but just a month ago I got into another fight. I was playing a 1e Paladin and the group wizard was kind of a jerk. We are always busting each others balls, I call him a nancy elf, he makes fun of my paladins lack of sophistication, etc. That night he teabagged me in my sleep
Needless to say my noble paladin felt this crossed the line and tried to cleave his head off. The rest of the NPC's objected, tried to stop me, i said they couldn't. The DM got up to show me how a minotaur could put a hold on a human in full plate, things happened and I kinda went crazy on him. I left and calmed down, went back to game 3 weeks later.

The guy must have been high or something, he didn't care what came after him. I don't know about teeth, but when the four policemen he was trying to fight (FOUR policemen) got through with him and tossed him (literally) into the back of a cruiser, his face was covered in blood and he couldn't see any more. He was also crying and his girlfriend later said he urinated blood for days afterwards. She got mad when we laughed at that.

Once during an all-night college dorm gaming session that I was DMing, I was desperately trying to get the attention of my players. As I remember it, they were all chatting happily as I'm trying to describe something...
Unfortunately (due to coffee, fatigue, frustration, adrenalin, weed, and Eris knows what else) I lost it and whipped a d20 at the main offender's head...and hit him.
He jumped up, stepped onto the coffee table, and did a flying leap. He landed right on my head.
Everyone was stunned. But no one was hurt.
Then we all started laughing, took a little break, and went back to the game. I apologized for throwing dice, they apologized for not paying attention, and we're all still friends.

I remember once two guys at the club I used to go to had an argument whilst playing DnD. I can't recall the details as to why, but it finished with one of them throwing a d20 as hard as he could (VERY HARD) at the other chap. It hit him right between the eyes and actually drew blood. He was totally stunned and we were speechless - an inch either side and he would have been blinded.
However, the rest just looked at each other in amazment and then rose as one with the cry: "Natural Twenty!"
It was a sweet moment.

That is an awesome story! The legend continues to grow.
Incidentally, Cardinal, I didn't know you and the Chairman went to PSU. My wife is a PSU graduate, and technically, so am I - though I went to the Behrend Campus in Erie (she went to main campus '86-90).
I've been down to visit a couple of times, spent a night or two at the Rathskeller and had plenty of my favorite beer: Rolling Rock. Also had a good time at the Gaff. My wife still talks about just going down and visiting, though with young kids it'd be tough.

back during college in the late '80s some of us were gaming together and there was some debate over who the last coke belonged too.
2 of the hotter heads in the party(much less campus) got into a rowdy verbal exchange and before we knew what was up they were settling it like real men.
mike ended up with scissors, and jack got paper. he was gonna go for rock, but got nervous.
mike got the pop.
it was radical, man.
