[QUOTE="Westwind, post: 938200, member: 3241"] In one campaign we all had to roll a libido score (on a d12 no less), which affected how we interacted with members of the opposite sex. My all-time worst campaign (and I was there for only one session) required me to: Roll 3d6 on all stats, in order. Then roll to select two stats and random and add a d8 to one and subtract a d8 from another. This is, of course, after character concepts. Mages keep track of all material components. Every last one. Like the number of pins you have for lightning bolt. And the setting wasn't even Dark Sun or some other bleak place where it might make sense. There was a purple gas (from some PC game I never played) that sprung up from time to time and it would morph you into really strange things. We had a purple cactus-looking character and a samurai who looked like a cross between a pig and a demon. The players were all around 7th level. I was forced to start at 1st and, to no one's great surprise, spent a lot of the session somewhere between -10 and 0 hps. Everyone was evil. But not interesting, sophisticated evil but mindless selfish evil. Why were they all working together? No clue. Maybe it was the purple gas. [/QUOTE]
