Epic Gaming Moments: Tabletop Edition.

[Voodoomancer]

Share an epic moment/encounter/scene from a tabletop RPG, be it D&D or Call of Cthulhu!

Mine:
We were playing a game of WH40K Dark heresy. Without much detail, our three-character party barges in on a ritual, the bad guy possessed by daemons chanting at an altar. in the first round, both of the gun-wielding characters [small](I'm playing a psyker)[/small] managed to get EYE shots on the possessed guy, causing his head to literally explode. Seriously. This in the first campaign with the characters too.

So, you got anything good? Share it!

Playing Spirit of the Century, I got supercharged with special magic powers. Powers that enable direct control of armies created out of basically thin air, and powers that the enemies had been using and absolutely murdering us with the rest of the campaign beforehand. Then I grabbed our team's mortal enemy, who is so stealthy as to be invisible in broad daylight (saving a friend's life in the process), and ripped him apart without the slightest effort.

In warhmmer 40k, my squad of eldar guardians have dealt the killing blow on a trygon TWICE! once in shooting and once in CLOSE COMBAT! My brother was not amused. On another occasion I killed 2 chaos bikers with a single round of shooting from a twin link-linked shuriken catapult! double 6, double 6, then he rolled double 1!!! epic

Also, my demon prince was killed my gun drones...

Golden Heroes. I like playing big, tough, suicidal guys, so when I rolled 3d6 to decide my chatacters strength/vigour, and rolled all 6's, I was quite proud of that.

In D&D I pushed a really strong Orc bloke into a pond and the wizard froze it amd we then proceded to slaughter the entire group he was with. He eventually got out but he was alone and easy pickings.

Also the time I took some white dragon blood to a brewer who was discribed as eccentric and adventurous, convinced her to make it into a form of alcohol, tested it on the Dwarf Warrior and ended up with a pretty good discount on all drinks from that pub and a promise that she will pay handsomly if we bring any more dragon blood to her.

Edit: Me and a friend also interrogated a kobold for information and when we realised he had nothing we tore him in half and threw him into the next room full of kobolds, suceeded in a intimidate check and made them all run away.

warhammer 40k
things that bum me: a 100% direct hit on a full 'ard boy squad with a big enough template to get ALL or them ( plasma, ap 2 >.< ) ouch!

things that bummed a mate of mine: my big mek which i run with a bunch on bodyguard nobs an a waaagh banner got charged by his termies and his attached chaplain. he does not like the fact that a big mek can have a burna that doubles as a power weapon ( my mek is moddled with both a burna and a power axe, one for the fluff, one for the wysiwyg ) *
i manouvred so my mek was only in contact with a termy, so when it was my time to strike, or he could lose all his termies, or his chappy could take the attacks. and he was dead unlucky with immortal saves, taking away the re-roll to hits, making his termies miss and die XD, clear win for an untested squad

* i on the other hand despise the fact that a WARBOSS cant have one, he's the thoughest ork around people! he smashes the mek if he wants a burna!

Playing a World of Darkness game in a zombie apocalypse scenario, the three characters start off in an abandoned apartment building. One of the players had decided to give his character a stutter. This character looked out the window, saw the approaching horde and spoke the first line of the game in the most Scooby-Doo-esque fashion possible: "G-g-g-guys? Z-z-z-ZOMBIIIIES!"
We laughed for SO long and the game was thereafter entitled "Z-z-z-zombies". Perhaps not "epic", but we certainly got a kick out of it.

Well there was the one time that my Tankbustas headshoted the one 'Nid super-Zoanthrope (I can't remember what it's actually called). The thing had like 8 wounds so it would have been a ***** to take down (not to mention it was in the back of my line) but thankfully it only had Toughness 4. Strength 8 Rokkit Launchas to the rescue!

Or there was the time that my 'Ard boy nob single handily took down a Devilfish with nothing but a choppa.

And of course one particularly memorable game of Warhammer Fantasy. I was playing Orcs & Goblins and my friend was playing Empire. Anyway we were playing a small scale siege and he managed to cast Comet of Cassandora (huge comet of death for those not familiar). Well it doesn't show up right away. Rather it takes 6 turns to get to the battle (and this thing gets more powerful the longer it takes for it to arrive!). During that time I had a unit of goblins win a round of combat with some Swordsmen (without taking causalities) then ran them down when they fled. When the comet finally arrive it managed to kill nearly everything in my army though, just barely not hitting my friend's walls. The crew for my rock lobba managed to survive somehow while their weapon didn't. So I sent them off to fight. Eventually they got charged by his Knights (god-damn those were the bane of my armies), but somehow one of the goblins managed to out run the charging knights when he fled by one inch! So there's this single goblin being chased by a nearly full unit of knights (I think one got killed by another goblin XD). That was a game for the ages.

Come to think of it, I have a lot of interesting war-tales. Listing them all though would take some time.

 

[Wilko316]

Warhammer 40k, my Space Marines vs his Tyranids.
He was coming at my Commander and Command Squad with his Hive Tyrant and actually kicking the crap out of alot of my guys, but after a lucky roll with the die he got killed by my dudes and the Commander and what was left of the Command Squad lead the rest of my army into victory ... I haven't explained it well but you had to be there just for how annoyed he was that his best unit got completely taken down.

Dungeons and Dragons.

We had cleared this room full of skeletons, but we had to destroy this evil alter which was shooting magic at us. We all take cover behind the pillars. I, being a mage, fire off my last remaining magic missiles but to no avail. We were all out of ranged weaponry, and nobody wanted to break cover and charge at the alter. Then someone stumbled on the idea of picking up objects from the floor (which were illustrated on the board- old bones, bits of wood, pottery etc) and throw them at the alter.

The dungeon master agreed, and we threw various objects at the evil alter. Now, i think the alter had been given the stats of a creature of some sorts, and to much hilarity it seemed that the alter was able to dodge some of our attacks! Anyway, after throwing bits of rusted iron, chairs, bones and stuff, one of my party lands the killing blow with a basket. The alter dies, but then the Dungeon Master tells us that this basket is now possessed with the evil soul of the alter! Naturally, my friend chose to add the basket to his inventory, and he brought his evil basket along with him on future quests, occasionally questioning it for "advise"- the advise that was given tended not to be very good.

On an interesting side note, this same friend got his character chlamydia when, upon arriving at a town his first question was to ask where the nearest whore house is.

I once was playing risk I traded 10 stars for 30 troops and totally fucked this guys shit up, this guy retiled by trading his 10 stars for another 30 troops in.

It is almost un-neccesary to say, but war would never be the same.
