The worst D&D group I ever heard of.

That was so epic, I'm saving up a copy.

A train wreck of this magnitude is simply awesome.

I can't wait till my summer D&D game with friends.

Facepalm X2 combo.

That Dennis kid bugs me.

 

[Billion Backs]

Hmmm, I always wanted to get into D&D but couldn't find anyone to play with. Reading that I'm kinda glad I didn't, I know my luck and know I would have ended up with people like them.

Nah, most people are better.

Although some people kind of go in the opposite direction, which can be as annoying...

As in, people who stick to "traditional" and cliche aspects of fantasy too much.

Just finished my first game as DM, a couple of funny incidents, the group forced an important npc to eat a cursed ring (which promptly caused him to explode) before they had properly talked to him, the halfling bard being the one to kill the red dragon at the end of the first dungeon, and an elderly wizard falling of a rope while climbing over a chasm, only to be caught by a sorceres using levitate, ended up floating there for a number of turns before anyone bothered to help him further

I've seen a lot of D&D and GURPS adventures go that way with certain people. I've pretty much sworn off DM'ing because of the idiocy that tends to show itself at times. A few years ago around Thanksgiving my cousin and his friend came over, saw my collection of RPG stuff and eventually they decided they wanted to try a little D&D. I said, no problem, left them alone with a video game for a while and I put together a nice little quest that would introduce them to the game and maybe take about 2-3 hours. I figured by then they would either be board or tired or drunk, etc.

I had this whole storyline worked out where they're summoned by the King to a secret passage where he tells them that his own advisors are working to assassinate him and that he's going to send them to get proof. So, we start playing, the king summons them, and as soon as they're alone with the king my cousin says, "OK, I attack the King". I tried to talk him out of it, then his friend(a mage) proceeds to start casting a spell. Yeah. The king died. Horribly. I was like, "Umm, so yeah, you just finished the quest. Game over."

So excellent, I'd love to read more stories like this.

EDIT: Ok, seriously, the link does not do this justice.

ED: You see a well groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo.

ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it?

ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric.

ERIC: How far away is it?

ED: About fifty yards.

ERIC: How big is it?

ED: (Pause) It's about thirty feet across, fifteen feet high, with a pointed top.

ERIC: I use my sword to detect good on it.

ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo!

ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it.

ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo!

ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way?

ED: No, Eric, it's a gazebo!

ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (roll to hit). What happened?

ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.

ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?

ED: Of course not, Eric! It's a gazebo!

ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a plus three arrow!

ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a gazebo! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a *)@#! gazebo!

ERIC: (Long pause. He has no axe or fire spells.) I run away.

ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've woken up the gazebo, and it catches you and eats you.

ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so I can avenge my Paladin.

 

[Rakkana]

Good enough that i read the whole thing.

I wish i had adventure's like this...

 

[Count Igor]

Amazingly, Larry beat them all. A combination of two Hold Persons and very poor saving throws paralyzed all the Cultists except one, and that one guy rolled the 5% chance to have a severe allergy to bee venom.

That was just lucky.


But seriously, that was awesome, it's a shame there aren't any groups around here

 

[Olikunmissile]

Well. Although I've never played D&D I got a laugh out of some of that!

 

[Mr Companion]

THAT was a great read, thanks!

 

[Anonymous Overlord]

Wow just wow.
and By the way "I don't want to listen to your Beavis and Butthead rendition of a female drow stripper/ninja from Shou Lung!" may be my new favorite DM quote.
