[QUOTE="Mishihari Lord, post: 3905652, member: 128"] So many to choose from ... My best RBDM moment has to be one of the times I captured the PCs. They were on their way back form a dungeon with their spells and hp depleted, and they got hit by a group of high-level slavers. They were captured, stripped of their equipment, given drugs that erase spells from memory, stupor drug for the clerics and carted in cages across a huge desert outside of the known campaign area. Their cages were swept off a high cliff into a swamp, where they broke apart. The slavers wrote them off as dead and continued on with their equipment. They were virtually naked, low on hit points, and without their spells in a hostile unknown jungle they had never heard of where no one they met spoke their language. In the first combat of the game, Thog the half-ogre had to kill a 20' crocodile with his bare hands. Ironically, 20 years later, this is the adventure that my former players want to talk about, the one they call "the best adventure ever." They really enjoyed the chance to attack challenges with just their ingenuity and basic abilities. Several said that their characters' actions during this adventure defined their characters for them. I think what made it work was that they trusted me. They knew I wasn't going to permanently screw over their characters or ruin their fun. Several sessions later they arrived at the city where their gear had been sold off and managed to track down and recover their most important equipment. It also helped that I kept the "this sucks, we're helpless" part to maybe an hour of realtime, even though it took a month, game-time. A year later, realtime, they managed to track down the slavers and engaged in a fearful retribution upon them. That was another of their most satisfying adventures. [/QUOTE]
