[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5686546, member: 34175"] As to the Soviet jokes - I covered this [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/311585-what-best-schtick-youve-ever-3.html]here[/url] But I'll re-post for continuity: Had a 3.x Human Cleric named Konstintine Gregorov Barransky (KGB), everyone called him Ivan for short. - he took the martial weapons feat and used a hammer and sickle as his weapons. "Da Komerade, I am wery glad to meet you. Now, please to be dying..." Played him as dry as dust and that made for some great unintentional comic relief. Now - back to the thread: [LIST] [*]NEVER, EVER, EVER tell the DM "Dude, your mom is hot!", just before you enter combat.. Trust me, nothing good will ever come of it. [*]Never use good, well painted minis if the household has a cat. [*]When telling a joke or making a funny quip first check to make sure no one else has just taken a drink of anything (Showering before gaming, good! Showering WHILE gaming, bad!) [*]If playing on a floor instead of at a table, ensure the lap you lay your head on belongs to YOUR wife/girlfriend BEFORE you lay your head back and grab her back side. (That was an awkward few gaming sessions after that) [*]Never pull out your own copy of the module the DM is running to verify he's doing it correctly. [*] Falling asleep at the table is frowned upon; Falling asleep and dropping your head in the salsa at the table is perfectly acceptable (and funny as hell). [*]Playing your character using an intercom while using the restroom is strictly FORBIDDEN!!! [/LIST] (Unfortunately ALL of these things were learned the hard way...) [/QUOTE]
