One Thousand Ways to Freak Out Your Players

293 Be really clever with curses. Have characters develop awareness of their items which seem totally inappropriate. Example: Keep telling your archer character that his sword is right there in his scabbard. Every time he wants to use an arrow, say "your sword's right here". It becomes a mental effort to draw an arrow instead of the sword. The players start suspecting that the guy is going crazy.

296) "Huh!? I didn't think you guys would defeat that beholder! Let's see whats under "C"..."

297) Dice? I don't need no dice. I'm role-playing. (This actually happened once.)

298) Have a vicious demonic wiener dog loose under the game table.

299) Find something to use the thirty sided die for.
 

300) Eat all the pizza.

301) Begin each session by reading the Players vs Characters section out of the old Basic set. Be stern and allow no interuptions.

309) let me roleplay my estranged halfling barbarian, who is insistant that he is a re-incarnated thunderbeast. he is follower of uthgar, i also have a cheap leather cap, with buttons for eyes on it, his favorite thing to do is to flash people, and run up and bit them claiming them for sacrifice to the thunder beasts. very humerous!
 

310) Every time one of the PCs do something in excellent character say: "Yeah thats just like that scene in the D&D movie you know..." Proceed with lengthy description of scene from movie. **

311) Crush a die with a sledgehammer when it gives you a bad roll as an "example" to the other dice.

312) Sit in an imposing position to the players, such as an elevated chair, so you can look down upon their actions. The higher you are above them, the more freaked out they will be, especially if you keep something within armsreach to smite them when they engage in behavior "unbefitting MY players"

313) Wear a cape.


**If you can actually do this maybe we should switch this to 1000 ways to alienate your friends
 

314) Put all your gaming books on a one pile on table and some point during gaming take the one in the bottom by dragging it away from players saying "I need just this one..." (Can anybody say avalance?)
