A Story that shall live in Infamy

Last Friday I issued a challenge to call comers.  The result of which I would write about anything and relate it to gaming.  I’m going to keep the comments open for a week before closing them down.  So get in and send me whatever you got!

The Queen sat lightly on her throne. She was decked out in her finest royalty, covered in her crown jewels and the finest cloth. Looking down upon the adventurers in front of her she let out a small sigh and said, “Well, as we’re all here. Why don’t you tell me about yourself?” Her voice was posed and proper. Her posture fit of a queen; not even a hair out of place on her head.

“Well,” Grak the Dragon Rider said in all seriousness. “I like poop jokes.”

The group burst out laughing. We all eyed Brian who just busted that on us. Who sat there with a shit eating grin on his face. Paul, the GM, sat there with his palm planted firmly on his forehead giggling. After a while the group recovered and continued the game but the joke, and story, to this day, lives on.

Stories bring us together, but drama and jokes keep us hooked. Even jokes about poop still find there place into every game. Paul later told us that if he hadn’t been laughing so hard he would have killed Grak. It’s what the Queen would have done after all. Sometimes though, a well-placed one-liner is better than any saving throw.

What story lives on in your group after years of play? What are the celebratory moments of your games?

    I had a cleric attempt a bluff by saying:

    “I am a homosexual and would like to perform lewd acts with you, dear sir. May I please be let in your place of residency?”

    The table started laughing really hard, and I failed the roll ;)

    A poorly worded spell set loose a golem of some kind that's purpose is to wipe out ALL spiders and ALL tomb maidens throughout the Iron Kingdoms instead of the specific enemies faced by our party. We spun out a possible future in which this golem is the stuff of myths and legends, galavanting about the countryside. Arachnophobes, behold your hero!

    Was involved in a Vampire:The Masquerade game where our group was attempting to track down a Samedhi informant that did not want to be found in a large abandoned graveyard.

    We came upon a set of foot prints that appeared to be our target's. In an attempt to try something new, our storyteller forbade us from showing each other our character sheets, so when my Tzimice kneeled down to inspect the tracks no one questioned why my character do this.

    I acted this out in my friends living room floor. I went to one knee, acted like I picked up some dirt, put it in my mouth and tasted it. After a few moments of looking like I was totally going to track this guy by tasting the dirt, I stood back up and stated” Yep,,, it's dirt” and then walked into the other room.

    After that the storyteller had to call the session.

    My wife just looked at me funny after I started laughing after reading that. She didn't find it as amusing as I did. Great story.
