The REAL Best Thread Ever

My favorite:

A friend who never GMs wanted to try GMing. So we all made decided to make evil dwarves without checking with him. We were supposed to be trying to deal with an opposing evil faction, “The order of the Pick.” Instead, we spent 14 hours of game time systematically ruining the life of a barmaid who made an offhand comment rebuking the CHA 6 dwarf hitting on her. We broke into her house and burned something different each day until she had literally nothing. One day we went and cut off a toe. We used magic, gossip and planted evidence to have everyone in town think she was a lying thieving adulterer, and eventually we had her committed to an insane asylum.

when I played D&D we mostly just drank mountain dew and talked about warcraft 3

Misogyny in a D&D game? I've never heard of such a thing, or half-orc rape babies neither.

My, how times have changed... :shock:

I've been playing D&D for 15 years, and we've talked about quite a few different things while drinking mountain dew.

 

[Walkin' Dude]

Ick. Mountain Dew.

It's been a long while since I played D&D, but I have to admit I can relate. There were about a dozen of us who played together, and some had more social skills than others. But we were all good at D&D, no doubt about it.

Like performance art, role-playing easily lends itself to collaboration. Every kind of entertainer -- actors, musicians, comedians, dancers -- you name it; they all consider and play off of each others' work. It just works better that way.

IMO, one of the best ways to put more "R" in CRPG would be to emphasize collaboration, and in a single-player game, the source for that can only be the game itself. In an online world, single-player CRPGs could be designed to work dynamically and in a way that involved clever collaboration.

I played it only once, and all I remember from it was the discussion which player should we toss inside some deadly jelly.

I played DnD once everyone was stoned and I had contact and then we went to the park and ran from imaginery Park Rangers.

Evil campaigns in D&D were always fresh. I remember dungeon mastering a 'Triad of Death' campaign, where a cleric of Bane, a necromancer, and a fighter/thief made their way into infamy.

Ah, those were the first and second edition days...no fancy stats (nothing above 15), no phat lewt, just pure role-playing and tactics. I don't regret a single minute I spent crafting those dungeons, tinkering with encounters, and laying down the politics and plot.

Things became different in 3rd edition, however...

Fitting in between Ultima 3 and Warcraft 3. We usually just talked about Starcraft. Evetually, dnd sessions used to end in front of our pcs. Hell of a fun, it was.

Players I was DMing long time ago, managed to steal a ship from pirates, sell it and decide to invest the money in whorehouses, so they could use the massive profits to buy equipment.

Players get a quest to find a pegasus for a paladin. Players get a normal horse, paint it white, glue fake wings, take money and run.

DnD can be so much fun with the right people. The kind of people who play thieves with Parkinson's, or etch their names with knives on the asses of fallen comrades before resurrecting them, or who play female half-orc barbarians trying to rape every man they find, or who wont pay a ridiculously small amount of money for a trinket, and try to steal it, and fail, and get the whole city trying to kill them...

I haven't played in ages... :/

I never played DnD. Nerds.
