[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 4647518, member: 1122"] Alright, I wasn't in this game but its a legend among my friends. The DM was older and had rounded up a bunch of youngsters to play in his game. He kept it up for years despite the immaturity of the rest of the group. The game featured lots of infighting and intrigue where the players tried to outmanuever each other, stealing each other's treasure, or even kill each other's familiars. One night an old friend of the DM showed up and the DM decided to let him in on some of the fun, and presumably teach the teenagers a lesson. The party was about to enter the chambers of the big bad evil guy. So the DM handed the friend a character sheet featuring an evil wizard and told the friend to pick the spells. The friend went all out and racked up the lot of save-or-die spells available at the current level. For some reason the players decided not to enter the chambers of the evil wizard and instead argue back and forth amongst themselves for hours on end. The DM's friend was bored out of his mind sitting in the room next to the game table. Oh, how he waited. Back at the game table the DM finally got to throw his surprise at the players. "The gloves are off, my friend is going to play the wizard to the hilt. Roll initiative!" Vorpal-Halfling: I attack the wizard with my sword. Yay twenty! I guess his head is chopped off. [/QUOTE]
