[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 6680295, member: 5038"] How goofy the game is depends upon the group. Yeah, the groups that I have been in over the years may have a silly moment or two, but it is the result of something born out of the situation. Examples include 1) the sorcerer that moments before was screaming for the Paladin's warhorse to carry away from the attacking trolls, now shouting "Go, Horsey! Go!" when it turned around and struck the two "trolls" (large ogres in my campaign) scoring critical hits on its attacks); 2 the Druid smakcing the much taller and brawnier barbarian on the head for doing something "stupid" or "unheroic" according to their people; and 3) the party trying to get the "uptight" Druid "laid" in hope of getting the "stick out of his butt". Thankfully, it is has been almost non-existant for any game I have been in with adults to be goofy or for players quote either Monty Python or The Gamers in a game. Monty Python and The Gamer quotes do happen, but never during gaming time. As for goofy campaigns, the only time it has happened is 1) a DM in the 80's running a Xanth inspired campaign (which lasted about a session or two before the players balked); and 2) a tournament session at a local con in which the adventure took place at a carnival and the barker was shouting for the characters to pay for a chance to throw a knife at a beholder and "Try to hit it in the eye to win a prize!" The result of the latter and similar carnival games were met groans from the players and we agreed that silliness was not why we signed up! Many of us never returned for another D&D tournament hosted by that organization. [/QUOTE]
