Worst Puns you ever did.

[Fifth Element]

Lucky for my PC that she was proficient in Glaivgwy's arm.

That's a lot funnier if you don't know how to pronouce "guisarme". It's French, people. Gheesarm, not gweesarm.

I played WFRP. Nuff said.
Character names were composed with a schoolboy sense of humor, and (sometimes) a German dictionary.
Examples: Salladh-Bar the Arabian necromancer, Baron Von Saponatheim the storyteller, and the Greater Demon Zahnartzt (German for dentist).

Also, L5R has some bad ones, like the Otaku Battle Maidens (retconned out by WotC).

And there was that WotG (Chinese wuxia) campaign where I specified mixed English/Chinese names (e.g. Black Saber Jin) to avoid Hung Lo, Hu Flung Dung and the like. Then someone turned up with a character called Wise Man Ho.

It's even funnier if you know how to pronounce Welsh.

One of my players and I regurlarly remind our group that "flurry of blows" has nothing whatsoever to do with prostitutes.

I guess he likes the feat Awesome Blow, and hates the Hideous Blow warlock incantation.

Zahnarzt? I can see that. "I'm a torture devil, they call me Zahnarzt". Makes you widdle your pants before he even starts."

Reminds me of the He-Man movie: Skeltor: "I guarantee you this will hurt - my dentist used to say that!"

Also, L5R has some bad ones, like the Otaku Battle Maidens (retconned out by WotC).

I don't get it.

Ooo, Warhammer! That reminds me of what a fellow roleplayer (we've been calling him Moo ever since he played a minotaur) told me about some Warhammer novel:

All the characters had names that were just their description in German (it was an English novel). There was a teacher called Lehrer, a horse called Pferd, even some chick called Laestiges Weibchen ("annoying female").

No wonder it didn't make any sense! Philistines.

 

[Kwitchit]

I don't get it.

Look up the meanings of the word "otaku". Add anime-inspired female knights.

 

[Voadam]

I always pronounced it 'gooey zarm'.

Look up the meanings of the word "otaku". Add anime-inspired female knights.

I think Rokugan hasn't entered the information age yet, so they'll be using the older meanings

Still, it might explain why the Otaku family had its name changed to Utaku.

 

[Nightchilde-2]

At one point at our table, we had to ban any conversations that had to do with chickens because we'd end up going on like this...

"What's the breast way into the castle?"
"Thigh?"
"Beaks me!"
"Guess we'll have to wing it, then."

FOR HOURS.....

Another involved a shared-world we all designed. One player (a computer geek) designed a land called Tellenside. He'd always open up conversations with "In Tellenside.."
