Just came back from my regular session. I have been DMing for years and recently found a group to play in in stead of run. Now, I realize we are in a hobby where the average intelligence is much higher than the norm, but this is when you know we don't quite think right. The group is investigating a Count who appears to have shady dealings so we apprehended his exchequer with all of his books. The following conversation ensued:
Me (Cleric) - So, do you have your masters' records for the last year.
DM (as Mr Smith, exchequer) - *pulling several thick books from a pile* Yes, what would you like to know?
Me - What purchases has he made in the last year?
DM - January 1; three boiled eggs and a ham, 2 gp, 3 sp. January 2, ..
Me - *interrupting* Wait, this could take a while OOC - We need someone else to do this.
DM - *jokingly* you mean like halfing accountants?
Me- *laughs*
Steve (playing Rogue and in all seriousness says) - I ask the council, Do you have any forensic accountants?
Play stops, time passes and laughter ensues.
The game pretty much ended there as the rest of the night was a flurry of CSI jokes; such as:
"I'm Bill Brissom Furrybottom, CSA, Crime Scene Accounting"
"Yes, I'm with the FBA - Forensic Bookkeeping and Accounting"
DoHS - Department of Halfling Securities
Dwarven number crunchers use hammers!
etc, etc, etc.
Has your game ever degenerated into something like this after someone makes a SERIOUS comment that just didn't quite fit in?
