[QUOTE="Shallown, post: 912560, member: 1368"] In recent history the worst thing i did was a few years ago I ran my homebrew game/system and one of the main characters had returneds home to see his family after being at "Wizard" college and doing some adventuring. So his fellow adventurers where staying at his home. He was a merchant's son and hsi mother ran the business his father having died years before from an accident. So he was going around catching up with his friends and such when after a night of drinking one of them dissappeared so the Advneturing character just had to go looking for him. To make a long story short the friend was killed by wererats and after many sessions of the characters going into the sewer and getting kicked around, including one character being infected and the "College" helping to cure him they discovered wererats had beena problem before and the government had very strict means of dealing with them IE everyone who ran into one was put to death to prevent spreading of disease. The wererats approached the main character and said "Listen leave us alone or we will ruin you and all you hold dear" But being adventurers they headed right back in. So when they came out the Mother was gone and the house left untouched. A few days go by and Mom turns up infected as a wererat. And soon the city guard shows up. Now we have a chase through the city characters once respected hiding in shanties by the port looking for a way out. They leave town ona ship hiding the infected mother becuase the crew would toss them over if they knew. Was a tense time as the College educated wizard got a taste of life on the lam and persuing the only suspected cure at one of the ancient ruins on and island 1000 miles from hom. Of course once there on a jungle island the mother escaped due to the ruins radically increasing the power of her disease. Was lots of fun and a twist in the game that had nothing to do with the plot but I rolled with it and had fun. got cussed at a lot but that's okay. [/QUOTE]
