You Know Your Game Is Twisted When...

"What could it mean???"

This is kinda twisted... one character in the party, Dante, is a psion, from a psionic race whose plane was overrun by Illithids. That race, now on the prime, is extremely paranoid about people finding out that they're psions. Anyhow, the party knows... or at least they used to know... because the head of Dante's clan is a Telepath. Who also happens to be very good at modifying people's memories. I'm the only one in the party who hasn't met her (as far as I know ), and doesn't want to meet her, because my PC believes that a person's memory is their identity, and any alteration is kinda killing that identity.

So Dante is now in charge of keeping his race's secret safe as it regards the party. And there I am reminding the other PCs that Dante and his bunch are psions and their memory has been altered, because that is their un-altered mind. So the DM has set up a nice thing where Dante and my PC are basically vying for the memories of the other PCs... he's trying to keep them erased, and I'm trying to get them back to normal.

Wierd, eh?

In a campaign during college I had two characters who were notorious drunkards; Quasy-Gnome Illusionist Extroirdinaire and Hans der Wunderpig-Half Elf Fighter/Mage.

Through a series of wishes they got a pair of talking mugs that turned urine into beer, And if you were able to get an enemy to urinate in the mug the mugs made really good beer.

After that they were constantly trying to capture monsters rather than kill them solely so they could pose this question, "would you pee in this?" Of course this was better than what you got whenever they were in a tavern - "I stand on the table. I pee in my mug, then I drink it."

Just to make it stranger the mugs would scream, cry, and beg not to be peed in every time.

Totally twisted.

I remember someone telling a story about having their characters in a Shadowrun game write their names on the moon with a giant laser cannon or something like that.

Isn't that idea originally attributed to Nikola Tesla?

The most twisted episode in my game involved one session in which the CN rogue drew three cards from the Deck of Many Things: Balance (alignment changed to LG), Rogue (a friend turns against you) and Flames (enmity from an outsider).

The rest of the group was mostly unaware of what had happened. The dwarven paladin confronted the rogue over his "suspicious behavior" (alignment change to LG) and a fight broke out among the group outside their hideout. The paladin went for the half-orc barbarian -- there was already some bad blood there -- but the rogue kept interposing himself between them and taking the paladin's axe blows.

The paladin killed the rogue, and his holy mount (a war bear) knocked the barbarian into negative hit points, then disappeared as the paladin had his paladinhood revoked. The cleric turned her back and left the scene, leaving the barbarian to bleed out. The other dwarf in the group -- a fighter -- bound the barbarian's wounds.

The rest of the session involved the paladin's attempts to have the rogue raised and then atone to regain his paladinhood. And of course there was a rampaging outsider (a bearded devil) to deal with.

I know there was an episode of G.I. Joe where COBRA was going to do that.

. . . when the Players are cursing Monte Cook's name.

"You know your game is twisted when...."

The two players want to play monsters. They pick a Vrock and a Rakshasa.

Their goals? The Rakshasa wants to be a saxophone-playing bard. And they both want to open up a weapon shop in town and make weapons to sell for money.

OK, so both players are 9. But the characters are not evil because they like to inflict pain, torture, and mayhem. The characters are evil because they're played by 9 year-old boys who just don't think sometimes and will act impulsively and selfishly, but almost always in character. A game without meta-gaming. Ah, joy....

... the party feeds the body of their recently deceased gnome comrade to a Roper for safe passage.

... one player has played three races and both sexes, and it's all with one character.

When your good character is unknowingly eating fried flumph. And enjoying it. And compliments his host on this new delicacy he's never heard of before.
