[QUOTE="reveal, post: 1511031, member: 1236"] Great stories people! :) Here's one of mine: "I put on the ring" - A few years back my wife and I were in a gaming group in which I played a Dawrf Fighter named Bert Anernie. Bert was CN and very, very good at it. Anyway, one of the other players was an elf who, after many trials and tribulations together, became Bert's best friend. One session, we wandered through a dungeon and stumbled across a secret room. In the room was a sarcophagus with a body in it. On the body was a very nice ring. The Elf tells Bert, "Go ahead. Put on the ring." So I turn to the DM and say "I put on the ring." The DM just looked at me through incredulous eyes and said, "We'll stop here for the night." Sometime later, I learned he had to rewrite his entire campaign because I put on the stupid ring. (Which, btw, made me into the long lost king of the dwarves and heir to the throne. Of course, the ring wasn't meant for me.) My wife and I have since told that story to other groups we've been in. Everyone thinks it funny, it's probably funnier acted out then written out ;), and every time the players do something that causes the DM to be amazed that the PC is actually doing it, someone will inevitably say "I put on the ring."
