Come on all you table top vets tell us your most entertaining rpg stories we all have them now heres your time to tell them. the only rule is one story per post to keep the board from being to flooded.


one of my favorite stories is a Elven Thief named Morgan he lived in the slums of a large city my friend created along with his best friend whom was a Dwarven Barbarian who refused to bath and was so dirty he actually could grow plants in his beard and as an answer to his stench he grew mint leaves. my section of the story was going a lil slow so I took it upon myself to check out the local bathhouse. now this place was bad it was in the slums so it was really rank and bad the top of the water was completely foam and hair. it was so bad our fighter wouldn't bath in it and decided to jump off the doc for a bath instead. lil did he know it was the sea and it was high tide and jellyfish season.

Now the proprietor was a very lazy and greedy man who would charge monstrous amounts of money for a simple bath so I soon took it upon myself to hatch a dastardly scheme to take over the bathhouse to charge very low prices to make money and get with the ladies. I soon gave up on a master plan and just killed him and dumped his body in an ally. I took it over and no one even realized cause no one ever went there. BWAHAHAHA I used the money on Ale and women of course!

My guy was a pyro sorcerer named Eldon. He burned things....things like forests...and people...and people in forests.

Hmm...I'd have to say one of my favorite stories from RPGs is rather recent.

So, I was a chaotic neutral Beguiler (level of mindbender as well) by the name of Jarail, and I made my living as a con artist (incidentally, that's how I introduced myself to the group). I loved pranks, even in heavy combat situations. So, we were in a train (magical variation thereof), and captives. There were four guards in our car, and an interrogator (their boss). Not good odds, when they were told to kill us as soon as we drew weapons. Now, this interrogator was a bit curious, as he only had one arm. Using my telepathy to facilitate planning, we decided that pyrotechnics would be a very good distraction to help our odds. Long story short, it didn't work that well and we were in pitched combat, getting our asses kicked by the One-armed man, but we had just disarmed one of the guards. So I -Suggest- to him "Hey, why don't you pick your friend's sword up and hand it back to her?"

It was a pity that he rolled a nat. 20 on his will save, otherwise there would have been a lot of AoO from that.

unfortunately i have no real stories. I have always DM'd. One of my favorites as a DM though was taking a friends very intricately made city and making fun of it by naming it after Burt Reynolds in my campaign. Wouldn't have been funny except i never told him I was going to do it. I named the city Burt-topia and its king, King Reynolds.. Was funny in an inside joke kind of way.

I remember that the really funny part is lil did we know that a few months later a lil movie called in the name of the king came out with friggun burt reynolds as the friggun king! his helmets and crown didnt even fit right!

OMG!!!! Thats right i remember that!!


My coolest story has to be my World of Darkness char......... Jack Cunningham. He was a rich ladies man who delighted at manipulating people. He got too caught up with chasing strange women and the paranormal. He became a promethean. And that is kind of where the story ended. He did drive around a Jaguar though....

I did enjoy killing you all in that game. I should have just kept it a promethean dominant story though. the werewolves were ok but I should have left it at that cause I was getting overly board on account of me hating vamps.

I still wish you would pick that campaign back up. I loved playing Jack Cunningham. He was a bastard....... but an honorable one.

RPG's? I'll have to think about it.

If you want miniatures, I've got a few stories.

We were running some Russians on the defensive in a game of Command Decision (WWII). We were the fifth echelon trying to hold some own to slow down the German attack. We had but one asset -- artillery. A couple of mixed regiments (mostly infantry, some mech infantry and assault guns) came swarming at us. We dropped three battalions of Katyushas on them. Sure, the beaten zones scattered, but it didn't matter. They were all in the same part of the board, so they all got hit. Over 80% of their infantry took some damage in one turn. Yes, we took some damage, but the spotters survived. None of their stands were wiped out. They all had one or two "hit points" left; our infantry were all one-shot wonders.

The German players capitulated. Screw this morale rating nonsense, we broke the player's will to fight. We still had a bunch of heavy artillery to call on them, but they wouldn't have it. They outnumbered us ten to one, and we argued for them to keep playing, but they wouldn't even try. Heck, we were standing against them with BT-5s and BT-7s(vs PzIII and Pz IV) but they cut and ran.

Oh, I played the left flank of the 2 Para assault on Goose Green (Falklands), it got written up in a magazine or two (Frank Chadwick was observing (yes, it's fun to play in Illinois)). My guys did their job, but the Argies won because our CO wouldn't press the fight or put his troops at risk.

Um, yeah, that Battle of the Bulge game. I'm still winning using those tactics, so I'll keep my plans to myself. When 14 stands stop the 2ns SS Panzer Division, it keeps you warm at night.

yeah I have no clue what most of that meant but good tactics though you could be a general in medeival times.

There was this great battle that I was at. I was there, with Ken Watanabe and Tom Cruise, and we charged up the hill and all save Tom were mowed down by primitive machine guns...well...I pretended that I was there. It would have been too cool if I had been, even if Tom Cruise was there. I don't really think that Tom Cruise was the Last Samurai, but he seems to think that he was. What a confused, funny man.

One time I was a Fire Gensai Fighter who used a great sword and a large crossbow. we were in a winter continent following clues of deminative elves kidnapping children for a fat bearded man in red. we also had a drow samurai and a half demon fighter. we frequently roughed up towns folk and set large fires to barns as distractions to make our escapes!
