Message: <blockquote data-quote="dvvega" data-source="post: 2589465" data-attributes="member: 524">"It's The Village People ... YMCA!"Early during my DMing career I described the village, and how the inhabitants came out to laud and honor the adventurers. Of course back then it was described as "the village people dance and sing your praises all night long". So from then on every pseudonym for people was employed."I Put On The Cloak Of Poisonousness"My wife's first every character was a young Fighter/Thief (2nd ed) who loved grabbinb knick knacks and trying them on before the party could find them. She single handedly found every Cloak of Poisonous in any game that I ran.From that point on, any fool hardy act of trying on magic items before they're identified is simply stated as "I Put on The X of Poisonousness""<MOOSEHORN> Are you gay?" (There is nothing wrong with it, just a story).I formed a group where someone told me of the "moosehorn" for talking out of character. If you wanted to say something to a player or the DM you put up a hand, thumb touching your head and spoke - the moosehorn. I liked the idea and we began using it. It was great.During a particular game, the mayor of a town the party had been employed by invited them round to dinner and took a fancy to the young Rogue. He was making comments about his appearance, the armour he wore, how he had seen the most darling shortword jsut perfect for the Rogue, etc etc. Everyone is laughing about my portrayal of the attempted seduction, but the Rogue's player just didn't quite "click". Suddenly it dawns on him (or so we think) and he moosehorns "Are you gay?" at me.Needless to say it was funny ... and so from then on, whenever someone is acting not so ordinary (the obvious evil guy etc), they moosehorn a "Are you gay?"."Everyone Run!"My wife, same character mentioned above, had a penchant for rolling 1s with anything that wasn't her standard issue weaponry (longsword, long bow, daggers) that she started with . This all began with the grappling hook incident. She lobbed it over the wall to climb it with the Cleric and Wizard next to her. The 1, followed by a very bad roll on the fumble, ended up with part of the cleric's face being gouged by the grappling hook. Some healing later and she's trying again, the 1, followed by a half decent roll on the fumble results in her accidentally lobbing it over the wall too far and the wolf patrolling the other side getting hooked. When they climb up they notice it whimpering as the hook is deeply embedded.Then there was the +3 spear they had found and she couldn't get into melee, so she hurls the spear at the giant. However the 1 followed by a bad fumble, ends up with the Paladin with a spear that had scored critical damage sticking out of his back.And the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks with the Grenade usage chart ... let's just say she rolled the worst every time and exploded half the party by one fumble.D</blockquote>
