Table-top Role-Playing Games

   In case you aren't familiar, or are confused, I am speaking of games like Dungeons and Dragons, Rifts, Shadowrun, Champions, Paranoia and the like. Post your favorite stories that have taken place around the gaming table, either in character or not, or maybe share some horror stories of bad players. I'll go first. In our group we have a real spaz player. His characters are consistently a little off their rocker, plus they tend to be incredibly lucky. The following two examples occured in the same game session of a D&D game. In greeting a new character to the group, he screams and yells at the new character from the top of a gate, then promptly leaps off the gate, falling 20 feet and landing flat on his ass, stands up, dusts himself off, then reaches out to shake hands. Later the group was fighting a minor demon and the circumstances (a half-cocked plan to lure a winged creature to fight on the ground) called for a rock to be thrown. The spaz character picks up a rock, throws it, and through incredibly lucky dice rolls, kills a demon (albeit lesser demon) with a rock. There are many more examples with this player, most of them funny, but they are way too numerous to list here.

   A few years back when I played dnd, my buddy ended up polymorphing a npc into a puppy and then punted him off a mountain. And...back in the early days of my dnd'ing, there was a jump check that was basically a "dont roll a 1" and my buddy, well, did. He ended up just running off a 2 foot gap that happened to be a few hundred feet deep. He died btw.

A mage poured all of his dice into a spell, and proceeded to roll 1s on all 28 dice he used. The result was a fried troll street mage. For those who do not know, Shadowrun uses varying number of six-sided dice. There is a flub rule that states if you roll 1 on all dice used, then something bad happens.
