Tabletop Gaming Experiences?

 Share


Recommended Posts

Story thread for table-top gaming, from D&D to... Warhammer. The only 2 I can really think of. And their variants, of course. Every table top game.

 

I just played/DMed my first D&D game. Was a blast. Everyone met at an AA (Adventurers Anonymous) meeting in a tavern, which was interrupted by a dwarf thinking it was a true AA meeting. Then they fought some Howler's, got some XP and loot, went to a magic door that was allergic to gnomes. Got in, got past the secret doors, got more loot, fought the bulk of the orcs after talking to magical talking furniture, and freed the mage who was trapped. Was short because of time constraints, but was still great.

 

Using > form is easiest, but smeh.

I dm'd a game where a null-mage got a nat-twenty on a roll to flirt with a bar-maid for information by saying "You smell like pancakes". 
Literally hated my life.

Not going to get into full detail, but:

There was this time we were playing Pathfinder, a custom campaign, and I had a stereotypical rogue chaotic neutral character. However, the DM was kind enough to give him a special skill I did not know of: godlike sexual charm.
So yeah, we somehow ended up in a cultist castle of sorts and failed some rolls. The cultists summoned an incredibly powerful demon, who was also very attractive (and female). Since I could smell defeat since the moment we entered, my character decided to go full yolo and seduced the demon. To everyone's surprise, he made it. Next thing you know, we're nearing the end of our campaign half a year later, and my character has found true love and proposed to the now semi-elf-looking-mortal-like sexy cute demon lady they were almost pulverized by. Fun times.

On a note: we tend to go as realistic and organic as possible with our campaigns, so our characters do marry other characters or npc's, and end up having families. In some cases, we gather our characters, a decade later from their past adventure, roll some upgrades, and go out on a new adventure. It's fun. That same rogue is now happily married, ruling over his own kingdom, with two beautiful daughters and one brave son.

Rolled a nat-20 as a warforge to throw a barbarian at a giant bird early level, barbarian consequently rolled a high damage number due to his speed.

 

I may also have been doing un-speakable things to ovens while I was said warforge...

I DM'd a game of DnD once. It barely got off the ground - I was a first time DM, none of us had played before and we were all getting steadily drunk - but one of the more memorable moments was when the party had to get past a checkpoint manned by paladins. They decided to steal the paladins' horses and ride through the checkpoint, but to do that they had to get past the guard. They proceeded to split the man apart with critical after critical. Upon examining the man's body they found that he was a 14 year old boy - his only possessions being a teddy, a love letter to his sweet heart and a list of his hopes and dreams. After lighting his corpse on fire to see what they were doing, they fled on horseback.

Playing a game of wh40k siege scenario where my Da company was being seiged by Tyranids, Down to two squads of basic space marines with two plasma guns the tyranid commander is laughing his ass off as the amount of nids he has left pretty much assures his victory. Spend an hour skirmishing with him manage to kill off half his remaining nids. Accept defeat and have the surviving eight space marines charge in one last glorious action... I killed the hive tyrant and broke the morale of the majority of the lesser squads. Pretty sure I rolled ten sixes in a row at one point when rolling for armor saves. Those dice are kept in reserve for especially important occasions, such as purging the heretics that play inferior armies like chaos or Orks. ACTUAL EXTERMINATUS!!

You know, if anyone ever wanted to something DnD-esque, like FATE or Pathfinder or actual DnD anything like that, I'd be happy to join in. I did something similar with some friends over Skype, it was fun.

A single squad of my guardsmen are left alive, facing down the charge of a full squad of howling banshees. Never a good prospect.

The banshees, unleashing wailing sound from their masks as the backflip with their katana's, manage to slice apart everyone but a single guardsmen, who, fumbling with his bajonet, fails to do anything.

Time to take a morale check at -10.

The guardsmen, obviously incredibly enthousiastic with finally managing to attach his bayonet to his lasgun, rolls snakeyes and in an act of insane bravery, stands his ground.

The next round, as he twirls his lasgun in a defensive pattern, none of the banshees manage to kill him.. and I pick up the single attack dice to strike back.

Before I rolled it, I made sure to read my opponent the excerpt from the Imperial Guatdsman's Uplifting Primer, detailing the proper use of a bayonet (insert pointy end into enemy, repeat stabbing motion until dead).

I promptly hit, then wounded a banshee, whom then failed the armorsave and died, bayonetted in the face.

Gripped with terror, the banshees then lost yhe combat and failed the morale check, running away.

The rolled a retreat distance of 6 inches.

The single guardsmen.. rolled a 7.. and proceeded to butcher the entire squad of banshees as they fled, removing them from the game.

Never in my life have I seen a more distraught look on my opponent's face as I proceeded to read him the excerpt on why Eldar technology is antiquated..
