Strangest place you've taken your game books

[The Shaman]

I took my copy of the 1e Monster Manual into the lavatory of an airliner - the succubus and I joined the 'mile high club' on that flight.

Yeah, I'm joking...as far as you know...

In a Minuteman III launch control center (LCC), back when I was pulling alerts as a missileer. An alert was a 24-hour span of time spent underground in the LCC, with just a crew of two missileers who took turns sleeping in the one bed down there. During the middle of the night, when there wasn't any maintenance activity out in the missile field and my deputy was asleep in the rack, I'd often work on D&D stuff.

This is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard of...and I'm not being sarcastic.

The control van of a Patriot missile battery.

Best part was when the Sergeant Major came in, saw them, and asked what kind of character I was running.

And a big ole 'Rock on!' to you, too!

Sounds like you had an SGM like one of mine ... there was a game running in the combat trains during almost every field problem, which was run by the chaplain's assistant and usually included the chaplain, SGM, S1 and S4 NCOICs, plus some of the drivers.

Weekends you could find the SGM playing Warhammer at the FLGS downtown.

I once ran Palace of the Silver Princess on a Japanese bullet train to Hiroshima (finished the session in the city itself later that day). I like a fast-paced game but this was the only one that clocked speeds in excess of 300kph .

We played a lot of old school Battletech, and there were always officers and upper level NCO's joining in. It feels kind of weird to say something like this to your commanding officer:

"Sorry, sir, but that's actually a headshot. You're dead."

Its not that wierd, but I took my PHB with me on holiday around Australia.

I didn't think it was appropriate to bring more than one D&D book with on my honeymoon, otherwise I'd have packed the DMG as well.

I cant beat the missile bases and Saudi desert stories! But how about "what's the weirdest RPG book you took with you?"

I played Lords of Creation on a train in Switzerland.

Bonus points to anyone who's also played LoC. And my sympathies.

I never took any RPG books with me on vacation before. That is until I went on vacation this week. So really, the strangest place I've taken my books (PHB and DMG) is to a campsite.
