The funniest encounter or moment in your campaign

Memorable games

A novice playing group I introduced to the 1st Edition game discovered a certain wicked fowl flapping about part of the dungeon. The rookie fighter decides to go up and wring its neck, "It might be good to eat." He's left standing with his two hands grasping the cockatrice by the neck....

Much hilarity at a tense time...

DM: "Okay, the dungeon is flooded now to a depth of 3 feet."

PC playing the Halfling: "Oh crap! My character sheet says I'm only 2' 11" tall!"
 

I'd almost fogotten this one...

DM: "The stone door is covered with a SLIMY GREEN substance."

Player: "I taste it...."

About the Green Slime: That's nothing! I once had a Player whose PC took off their boots to walk through it ... She though She wouldn't slip and fall that way. :D

(One of) My funniest stories is

THE BULETTE BASEBALL

Scene: the party is escorting a caravan down a dirt road. A Bulette senses the caravan, and decides to come up to snack. The party is in dire straits for a round or two as chaos reigns. The Bulette decides to jump on one of the caravan wagons to "crack" it and get to the chewy humans inside.

The party wizard, thinking quickly and getting the drop on the creature, casts a (2nd edition) Feather fall on it. Being just high enough level to affect the weight of the Bulette, it turns into a Macy's day balloon float. With the help of a big man with a very large club, it gets batted upwards, catches wind, and comes down to rest on its back.

Everyone still talks about the "pop fly to 3rd" to this day. :)
 


One story that always is mentioned around the table is the Troll Swordmaster who was more of an Archer (Earthdawn)... he had more skill with the Bow than the Sword... he never won a single sword duel ! He was deadly with his bow... even having Discipline Crises he insisted on playing the Archer ! He shot a baddie at an awful long distance... great shot... but no sword.

One day he challenged a primitive (Lizardman-like) T´Skrang Warrior (good at unarmed)... who chooses of course Unarmed combat as the "weapon" !! After taking one or two hits the Troll "Swordmaster" dished out so much punch damage on the poor T´Skrang he fell very fast. The group couldnt beleive it... but should he take out his sword ... he got trashed !!

Another Troll was being questioned by a Theran (baddie) official who saw the marks left by Slave Collars we had removed. The Troll desperate to give any good excuse politely asks of the officer a chance to explain himself... the GM said no excuses... but the group insisted on giving the poor runaway PC a chance... so the Troll explains how he works for this powerful wizard who has ... lets say... exotic tastes... and bondage stuff and... you know... likes to dominate... so forth.. :) He rolled 1 on the dice... so straight for the Gallows... poor fellow... we did laugh a lot at his "explanation"... gay trolls... hehe
 

Had a player once (when our use of the rules was fuzzy, to say the least) who used the old "Medusa-head-in-a-bag" trick once too often. He'd whip out the severed head and use the still-active gaze attack to petrify a monster.

I had him roll a dice to see which way the head was FACING when he pulled it out of the bag. Guess which way it was facing...?
 


okay, both of these stories are from the game i used to run at GenCon every year (if you're bored look in old prereg books under 2e D&D Mafia Mania).

1) so pyro-klepto, the gnomish-thief (who is immune to fire - lucky him) gets separated from the rest of the party on his own dungeon level. the dungeon room he's in is sort of like a gameroom. he starts playing with one of those claw machine things and gets a few tiny magic items. eventually, however, gets a live chicken. being a hungry gnome, he is determined to eat it. so he starts chasing it around trying to attack it (and keeps missing).

annoyed, he goes to a random door to leave the room (without checking for traps). there is a fear trap on the door so he runs away from it and gets all frightened. in retaliation to the "scary" door, he loads his necklace of fireballs (THE WHOLE DAMN THING) into his fireball sling shot and shoots it at the door, rolling a natural 20. we determined he was doing 60d6 to the whole damn room (granted, klepto was immune to fire but i had him roll a saving throw to remain concious).

to say the least, the chicken was dead.

2) on a different year there was a game room that had a magical wheel that gave out prizes depending on what symbol came up. there was a 1/100 chance that you would get this Spock-like elf creature that spouted logic all the time.

well, of course two people rolled that same damn number so the two spocks were arguing over how illlogical it was that there were two of them. then the pcs stuck one of the spocks in a chocolate-covering device and decided to stick him in the infinite loop in the previous hallway (basically it looks like you're falling to your doom, but then you reappear at the top of the chamber & fall again).

the remaining spock had fun arguing the logistics of that.
