[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9833802, member: 23751"] Yeah. Short campaigns and one shots are fine for silliness. I'm not one for long term humor/weird campaigns, but short term they can be really fun. One DM I played with had us all roll ourselves up as if we were transferred into the D&D world. We picked our class, stats based on ourselves, and proficiencies(this was 2e). I chose ranger, since animals not only get along well with me, even animals that don't like people or men or whatever warning they want to give, walk up to me and crawl into my lap. I also have very rudimentary tracking skill. Anyway, when it came to proficiencies I wrote spellcraft down on my sheet. When the DM got to that section of my sheet, he looked up at me and asked, "Why did you put spellcraft down on your sheet? This is you being transported into D&D." My response was simply, "You describe any spell effect to me and what components are being used, and I will tell you what spell it is." He stared at me for a few seconds, knowing that I could do just that, and then said, "You got it. Spellcraft it is." [/QUOTE]
