What is the stupidest thing your party has ever done?
>>
Fought and killed each other over +1 bracers, effectively ending the campaign. I lived, because I gathered my shit and left (they were originally my bracers and the fighter wanted them).

Nope, just plain +1 bracers they could have bought in town for 1000g (we had thousands in our packs after that adventure).

Burned down a house that was haunted by the ghost of a little girl.
This caused her to turn into a banshee and chase us.
then the dumbest PC in our crew hugged the banshee and convinced her that she needed to pass on, as her mother was waiting for her.

That, or a Dark Eldar beastmaster attempting to insert foot-long earwigs into a sleeping female kroot's vagina. He quickly lost his head over the fact that she had a plasma pistol... Literally.
the game was shit, the dm was a retard, and the player was just looking for a way to kill his character so he could leave the game.

We found the villain's tethered Nightmare steed on a hitching-post.

I was roleplaying a Frenchman analogue at the time and suggested we sit down for some demonic steak à cheval.

Wouldn't you know it I was the only one to fail my disease save.

We're on a ship sailing along. Everything's going well. Suddenly! Sails on the horizon! Pirates! We try to make a run for it, but they catch up and board our ship, pitched battle ensues. That's when one of my fellow players gets the brilliant idea to improvise fire bombs by throwing the oil lanterns at the pirates. On our ship.

In his defense, the pirates fled back to their ship pretty quickly but all things considered we were probably better off before he decided to burn down our boat.

Party is heading to foreign country by ocean voyage on a midsized military vessel with a fair number of soldiers acting as crew, and about 12 ballistas as anti-anything-big weaponry. We spot 5 ships on the horizon, clearly pirates. They are all tiny ships that we could take out quite easily with ballistas before they can so much as touch us, but instead our self-proclaimed party leader has the brilliant tactical decision of telling the pirates that our boat is actually full of undercover pirates disguised as sailors. We're working on a big score and could use their help, we convince them of this farce and proceed to lead them into waters we know to be infested with massive 400+ ft long sea serpents, in the hopes they will kill all the pirate ships but let us escape. We did kill most of the pirates, but lost our ship to a sea serpent and only escaped by commandeering a remaining pirate ship and because the GM didn't think to put more than one sea serpent in the area, even though the place was supposed to be infested.

He kinda abandoned a time critical mission to go drinking, so you could guess I was a little pissed. He also stool pigeoned on us after being captured for the "I'm a pirate!" incident, leading to the capture of PC's that we were trying to rescue in the mission he went drinking on, so I found it a little annoying that he threw his redemption and suffered no consequences for it.

Kroot don't have vaginas. At least not in the sense of humans. Kroot males have reproductive organs in their hands, whereas Kroot females have their receptive reproductive organs on their back. So Kroot sex looks like a back massage.

And then the female vomits up an egg a week or so later, which eventually hatches into a Krootling.

Explanation for Elf Fatality Fetish via conversation with friend.

Elves get the strongest orgasmic experience imaginable when they come near death or experience it. Since most elves live a long time, the thought of death is an erotic drive. Their super-human bodies release so much pleasure to their mind when they experience it that the moments before death are utter bliss. Happiness to have an end, both hormonal and mental in origin.

This is why Elves will trade with dwarf fortresses. They get a contact high just by going inside and making it out. Every time they go back, they get closer to that statistical death.

So while you may be dumping magma on them to get them out of your fort? You are actually giving them orgasmic highs the microseconds they have before total death.

It's either a tie from shit-talking one of the apparent BBEG's that was three times my own level that ended in an effective TPK (One guy survived, but he quit the game soon after, but not 'cause of this)

Or the time we all decided to walk straight into the middle of a room in a dungeon. This room we had just seen a bunch of enemies in, and they had turned invisible. We survived, but 2/4 of the party was in the negatives, one wasn't hurt at all (ran instantly) and hte other, me, was sitting on 0 Hp exactly. You should see the other guys, though.

We were in a tomb, there were vials of the Pharaoh's old organs. Our cleric kept telling me to stop opening them, but I wanted to see if they were all the same. The church has given her a mission stating that there was a magical disease in the tomb and the mummy is the carrier. Our fights tries to knock the flasks of putrefied organs out of my hand. I dodge out of the way, and as a show of defiance drink a little.

I leave, seemingly fine, and thus no one speaks of it. However, I keep making fort saves at the DM's request. Turns out I was infected, but I continually make a DC 25 Fort save so as to not show symptoms. I don't show any when we get all the way back to the capital city, but I am highly contagious at this point, and still feeling fine.

Is it both erect and flaccid at the same time somehow?

It's hard to pick one thing. Most recently we almost TPK'd to a fight with a dracolisk. Other highlights include a ridiculous mass of inter-party conflict for no reason, leading to complex plans to assassinate eachother, all the plans to torture people before we even know if they're going to freely talk (mercenaries don't care that much about loyalty, guys), and ofcourse, trusting that guy we've known for less than five minutes to lead us into an almost too-obvious trap.

It is a combination of miracle dice rolls and our DM being far too nice that has kept us from dying all the time.

>>32541850

That would have cost them more money. Keep in mind, the only thing I had going for me that WHOLE campaign, was that I got to start it with a 22 cha because the DM let people tank stats by 4 points to raise another 2, at character creation.

He also said that since it was an evil game, players could roll bluff against each other.

So at level 12 I had max ranks in bluff, by that time I had every feat focus I could have in it, and even one of those circlets that added to bluff.

I forget what all I had, but it ended up being something like a +44 to bluff once a day, and the rest of the time a +36, or something.

Yeah, I TCKed them. Total Civilization Kill.

We found a fort that seemed to be haunted, poked nearly every monster in there and almost died several times.

We met up with reinforcements when we were about a mile away from the fort and lied our asses of about ever being there.
That ended the campaign.

After five minutes of carefully explaining the collision and 'being thrown out of vehicles' rules, the party convinced itself to charge an enemy tank.

With their jeep wrangler at full speed, for a killing blow.

Lost one of their members when he charged straight into a shuttle filled to the brim with barrels of Promethium rigged to blow.

Rather than admit they'd been tricked, they rammed the second shuttle (which was also filled with Promethium) with their own, which the villain then detonated.

We once had a monk dodge a Wall of Blades 3 separate times in the same round of combat.
Then the dumbshit druid turns into a fucking rhino right after seeing an enemy wizard prepare a touch spell, and gets teleported halfway across the continent.
The fucker then ACCEPTS GIFTS FROM THE BBEG AND TRIES TO GIVE THEM TO US WITHOUT CHECKING THEM.
Luckily, I had like, 20 something to identify them, so I figured out they were mostly cursed, but hot fucking damn, that was a stupid druid.

We mostly played SR3. I can't think of anything stupid the party has done as a whole, but I can relate a couple incidents of someone catching the dumb.

One run, we had to do an extraction on a girl that had been kidnapped and was being ransomed. She was the daughter of some Ares corp exec that someone was trying to pressure into jumping ship. She was being held in a corp facility with some contracted security, since the extraterritoriality would prevent Lone Star from getting involved.

Anyway, we're scoping out the place, watching the patrols, locating the guards, etc, and That Guy decides he needs to get his murder on and just charges the front gate. He isn't going to have any of this sneaking in shit and wants to just muscle his way in. The rest of us take off after him, trying to grab him before he can blow our cover, but he's surprised the entire party enough that he got a head start (not that it surprised any of us IRL, he was That Guy). Our mage ended up stunbolting him in the back and knocking him out right in front of the gate. We grabbed him, threw him in our party van, looked at the agitated guards at the gate and were just like, "You guys didn't see nothin." Passed our bluff, stripped the dumbass orc of all his gear, dumped him in an alley and pulled the run later that week.

I have been waiting for a good time to share this. I was DMing this modern campaign, kind of low urban fantasy I guess, there was occult like magic, it was kind of Buffyish. Anyway, the players started out as lowly criminals in the first few game nights, but eventually they became members of this motorcycle gang.

They become involved in a gang war between the Motorcycle gang and a street gang who had been using Necromancy to bring back their members to continue the war, this game should have had them finish off the other gang so they could move on. So the Necromancy gang comes to their HQ armed with fully automatic weapons and starts shooting it up, one of these guys had a chaingun. It wasn't a hard encounter, but the main gunner in the party took a bullet early on. The party could have finished up just fine if they had just been a little more patient and stayed behind cover, but the melee character decided that he had to be the hero. He goes into the backroom and injects himself with heroin, despite it not actually conferring any stat bonuses, and he knew this, then he charges the guy with the chaingun and gets shredded. With him dead and the gunner incapacitated, the Necromancers wiped the floor with the remaining players. TPK.

Our group had a rules-lawyer "Paladin" and a Chaotic "Neutral" Rogue in it, and I played a Wizard who basically enjoyed watching the two tearing at one another and getting mad.

One time, the paladin is gone for a play-session. He's been manipulating us shamelessly into trying to help "the good guys" (shades of grey in the campaign, overall) and we've got enough of it.

Shady advisor offers to pay us a ton of gold to kill a royal pet, a white polar bear kept in a special cage.

We agree, and go to promptly kill the bear. Turns out the bear housed the Sanity of the royal family, in physical form.

The faction goes to a horrifying war of genocide, trying to destroy all other races.

Paladin returns, RAGES.

Rogue laughs.

Civilization as we know it ends.

Okay listen to this
The game is GODLIKE, super heroes in WW2 with fair realism
One of my guy could reanimate dead for a while. They had to attack a bunkerized townhall in France. One of my PJ could reanimate and control dead people or animal for a bunch of actions.
They went to the local resistance to ask for dead bodies, but they refused. So they took a cow. A dead cow. They dressed it up with a nazi uniform and helmet. The put all the grenades, like 16, in its ass. Then they put it in the jeep "loke it's drinving" and send it down the road to the building. At that moment, the guy reanimates the nazi cow which goes "MMOMOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOO !!!!" and POW blast the bunker wall, with not much effect...

Later the use telekinesis to drive the tank on the roof of the building. from the inside, floor by floor.

Now, I don't know what was the stupidest thing to do in the campaign, here's a few options to choose from:
>Find a crippled clone with low stats, gang up on him and get almost killed, even though one of them has a firearm he's too stupid to use
Not really stupid, but insanely funny.

>Find a weird circle of mushrooms having grown around the house at night
>I'll eat one and see what happens!

>One of them finds out that the shroom literally burns like tinder
>Discover a cave underneath house where alien mushroom lives
>Get attacked by mushroom clones
>Throws a Molotov cocktail saying "Oh, I know it's really vulnerable to fire!"

>Investigators dead

Yes, definitely.

The "gotcha" approach to storytelling gets old eventually.
You're not actually there so if the group (both GM and Players) aren't willing to help each other remember and understand things - which can sometimes mean a bit of rewinding - then you get comedic situations like post related, and they can be a ton of fun, but for an attempt at a more coherent campaign with more of a story to it, you really have to be a bit more large about stuff.

Our two rogues (a half drow and wererat respectively) killed an archwizards sister while looting his tower, then slash up the corpse "to make it look like a landshark did it", then neglected to tell the rest of the party, to our surprise when said wizard teleported in and started throwing fireballs (kill three party members... but not the rogues).

The best thing to do as a GM is change your setting on the fly to punish players like that.

The door they pick is always the trapped one, there's always a second guard in the one place they didn't specifically look and so on.

If you're good enough you can kill them all and they won't realise you were doing it, then if they ask what went wrong point to all the things they didn't check.

I cannot overstate how important guts and a decent spirit are. At least d8 spirit is required unless you're playing it non-horror (which is kinda boring when you know what you COULD be doing). Guts isnot only necessary, it's fun. Because my bareknuckled boxing irish stereotype had good guts he went toe-to-toe with a werewolf like it wasn't shit. It was fucking hilariois how no matter what we came up against, no matter how disturbing or likely to kill us it was there was a collective "fucking ruin these cunts" murderhobo response.

My first game of D&D, Bard/Sorcerer set in the WHFB world.

Went to a weird little kingdom in The Warp where children's souls go until they go wherever they go after that to convince the ruler of that realm to help us with some world threatening shit. Picture the Queen Of Hearts in the animated Alice In Wonderland movie, only bigger and dumber.

Made the mistake of letting her know all the kids were going to die all at once if she didn't help. This is a mistake because of fey logic. So I demonstrated why this would not be the wonderful thing she thought it would be in the most direct manner I could think of.

I casted Summon Swarm on her.

The DM was at a complete loss for words and our That Guy was having a mild heart attack.
>>
>>32548044
Thing with D&D is, at this point it's popular because it's popular.

It was one of the earlier ones, it's got some of the biggest name recognition(in America anyways, not familiar outside of that), and as a result ends up being what people first play when they go into TTRPGs and then hold that up as an example of what the rest of the genre is like.

Then they hit that wall where they realize D&D is actually not very well designed compared to other games, and either go into denial and refuse to play anything other than it, or they accept it and play a better game, or the one edition of D&D that was well-designed.

In a rated NC-17 campaign, our group made some interesting characters, but they were all somewhat violent. Not necessarily evil, borderline maybe, but mostly just really aggressive.

Our paladin was a multiclass paladin/cleric, he took cleric until he got atonement and the rest was paladin. He also took improved unarmed strike, weapon focus unarmed strike, and skill focus diplomacy.


So he would go around, find an evil person, diplomatically seduce them, then FUCK THE GOD DAMN EVIL OUT OF THEM.

The stuidest thing our party ever did, was let him screw us. So our campaign went from a gritty hack and slashy to a hot and heavy fuckfest.

GM rolled with it because it was his realm and we all signed up for it.

Hard for me to narrow down my stupidest moments, I DM'ed for essentially my closest 10-12 friends from when we were all age 16-21, so I had them during the edge times, and the beginning of real maturity. Here's one highlight from each person in the group:

Person 1: Dies after mouthing off to a crusader of Bahamut, claiming that Bahamut is a "bully" and that Zehir (the god of snakes&poison, an evil god) is the better choice. After being smashed with a mace into pudding, stutters "b-but, this is civilized, don't I have freedom of religion?"
Person 2: Uses psionic abilities to convince a girl she's crazy, for the crime of refusing his advances. Eventually, the girl snaps and goes on a murder spree, forcing the party to kill her.
Person 3:Casts fireball into a brewery. 'Nuff Said.
Person 4:Rolls up an archer that's blind in one eye, attempts to argue that he should receive a BONUS, not a penalty, to attacks, since "you close one eye when shooting"
Person 5:Commits genocide upon 3 races before level 7. Doesn't understand why other races are wary of his organization of humans.
Person 6:When person 6 picks a fight with a dragon and begins to lose, he runs into the forest, thinking the elves there will help him...until the dragon begins to breathe fire on the trees, causing his death, and that of the forest and the majority of the elves.

I personally did something pretty damn stupid in the first session of a weekly Pathfinder game.

We’re fighting a gang in a crowded area because we thought it was a good idea to sic our Strix ranger on a gang member who was spying on us. The Strix rolled a 20 on tackling the guy and pinned him to the ground. This obviously attracted attention, but we manage to subdue most of our enemies except one who gets away. I decide to take a pot shot at him with my crossbow while he’s running.

The DM takes this moment to remind me that because it’s so crowded if I miss I’ll hit a civilian.

“Fuck it I’ll take the shot anyways.”

Nat one.

The DM informs me that I shot an old woman and can barely contain himself as he tells me to roll for damage. I nearly killed someone’s grandmother in the first session. Thankfully the party cleric decided to show up and stabilize her.

Declared my character's intent to subtly rewrite and reinterpret Adeptus Mechanicus' scripture to better suit my needs and desires to our party Seneschal, thinking her charm and deceive skills could be put to great use.
(She had very little involvement in any of the events of the campaign prior to this, and I was trying to give her a push while starting up interpersonal roleplaying and shit).
The other two players and the DM flipped shit OOC and commented on how I was breaking the universe and was on the fast track to character death.
"Well, as far as I see, Sashura here is the only one who actually knows what I'm thinking. If she ends up telling you or you find out through other means, then we'll go from there."
Next session begins with the DM criticizing my character's lack of motivations and suggesting that I rework him from the ground up, and reminding me that he's run countless games before that, when he let the party do whatever they want, spiraled out of control and then everybody got bored and quit.
The argument grew tiresome, and I knew that reworking the entire character would be more of a pain than it was worth, so we half-assed a quick little 'discovery of my heresy' which culminated in my death. No rolling involved. No role-play involved.
So now I've re-rolled a prison gang-banger who loves him some Emprah.
If I had known the universe was supposed to be this restrictive, I wouldn't have played in the first place.
I was told that Rogue Trader meant you could do things outside of the bounds of the Imperium.

Big city. The party's mission: to hang around in the BAD part of town, and snoop around for info and possible connections to certain goings on in the finer quarters.
Prio #1: we must NOT draw undue attention to ourselves. Hoods up.
We get rooms at a really shady inn - a wretched hive of scum and villainy, judging by the crowd in the common room.
The female elf asks for a tub and some hot water in her room. Unexpectedly, the innkeeper takes care of it without lifting an eyebrow. Apparently it's a shady but clean establishment... The rest of the party stays in the common room.
The elf goes upstairs, locks the door carefully, strips down and starts washing herself. Suddenly there's a noise at the window. Two hands are grabbing the windowsill - a cat burglar on his way up.
She grabs her bow. As his face appears, he gasps finding the room occupied by a butt nekkid elven lass, and she promptly puts an arrow between his eyes.
Upset at the intrusion, she unlocks the door, goes out, locks it behind her (to keep her stuff safe), and storms down to the common room to complain to the inkeeper about the intrusion.
GM: "It's noisy in here. People talking, some are arguing, one group in a corner are playing dice and being loud about it. All of a sudden the whole room goes TOTALLY dead silent..."

That's when the elf remembers that she didn't put on any clothes before she went down.

She bolts back up the stairs with a dozen horny thugs right behind her. Since her door's locked she must jump out the nearest window. Cue a VERY public rooftop chase. People on the streets stare at the elf streaker up there, followed by a dozen drunken thugs determined to get to know her better, followed by the rest of the party trying to stop them.
One of us is killed by a thug who doesn't like the interference, I very nearly die failing a jump between two roofs, and the third PC gives up and skips town.
The elf shakes her followers and eventually sneaks away, wearing a stolen cloak and nothing else.

There was a time in a Vampire The Requiem game when we had just finished killing this bunch of thugs from a human trafficking ring in search of clues for the current plot thread in the docks.

The Gangrel rich boy then had the brilliant idea of putting all of the severed body body parts in a boat and letting it sail away to get rid of them.

Right next to the Louisana coast sea.

The Sheriff wasn't too happy about that.

That second one strikes a chord with me. Was running a homebrew fantasy campaign wherein one of my players decided to play a "succubus" (a half-demon human, but whatever , if he wants to call his character that I'm not going to stop him on some technicality) with giant bat wings. They're on this diplomatic mission to negotiate between these "northmen" (the mixed descendants of elves, gnomes, and humans) and the snooty, capricious, frequently-warlike "high elves". Now, in the mission primer and once or twice since then (all in that same session) I'd made it very clear that they did not like demons. Like, more than most people--their old king had messy divorce from their old queen, and now rules as the god of the dark elves from his throne in Hell, and the dark elves are their main political rivals.

So the succubus and her teammate (a half-dragon martial artist playing the whole Buddhist monk kung fu thing to the hilt) roll up on the high elf camp while their party members are off getting drunk with the northman chieftain. The elves stop them at the edge of their encampment to inquire as to who they are, and admire the succubus' fancy and impractical veil/hat combo (their society is fond of impractical and ostentatious headwear), and they assume the martial artist to be her servant, because he is dressed plainly and has no hat. he's grumbly, but puts up with it, and she hits it off with the guards. Everything's going well, and they sidestep a few awkward questions about their political affiliations and such. Then, they ask the succubus "just out of curiosity, what even ARE you?", because of her giant wings, and explain they "just want to know so they can assure everyone in the camp that you're 'the right sort' to attend the party".

>Oh I'm sorry, after that work to get here your party is so boring, I think I'm going to read instead
Somehow I feel like this is a way to get kicked out of said party.
>>
>>32557117

The player's response? "Well, since you ask, I'm a demon!" Everyone at the table just fucking went silent and stared at this shmuck, and I had the guards do a double-take so he could clarify or take it back or spin it into a joke, but he just said "but it's okay, I'm a nice demon!" he said this to the codnescending racist snobs who SPECIFICALLY hate demons, then was surprised when a fight broke out. Then, rather than turn himself in or explain he was there on a diplomatic mission or anything, he killed a guard, knocked out anotehr, cursed two more, and stole their spears before running off cackling into the night.

The other players just totally lost interest in the campaign after that, because they'd actually been taking the mission seriously and making decent progress.

Hijacked a delivery truck filled with comatose patients on their way to a sacrifice ceremony to an elder god. They left the driver alive and unrestrained, so the cult driver called up his cult buddies at the docks and told them he had been hijacked.

They showed up that evening in the stolen delivery truck wearing the ill fitting truck driver's clothing, with themselves smuggled in the boxes as the comatose patients

The cultists just opened fire on the van, it was almost a total party kill because they had again, locked themselves in boxes to mimic the coma patients and couldn't get out of the way

To this day I still don't know what their plan was

The three in the back got shot with lethal hits, one of them died outright from the shells, the other passed out

The guy on the roof of the car was fine

The driver with her last action floored the gas after the shooting started, she took too many lethal hits and died with her foot on the accelerator

So the car went off the docks and started sinking, good for them because the cult guys just reloaded and sprayed into the water

So the driver was dead, one guy passed out, the other two heavily injured and their medic was fine. They carried the bodies to shore, the guy who passed out bled out and died.

They had to hide out under the docks and then make a run for it because the cultists were searching the beach for them to wash up on shore.

It was pretty brutal. But at least they delayed the ceremony.

That's an oak door, and he didn't roll a nat 20. it has stupid hardness, if you look it up.

Even if he was trying to break it, it had something like hardness 5, and hp per inch of thickness.

I was actually going to let him break it down, if he did enough damage.
