so last night i ran a session of White Wolf's new World of Darkness (nWoD) game for my GF and roommate. My GF has played with me before and is part of an ongoing game. My roommate had never touch a d10 before. We normally have another player but he didn't show up.

it was a fantasitic game with many cool moments.

my roommate had a great time and says she wants to keep playing with us.

I just had to share my great news.

if anyone else has any RPG stories they want to share go right a head.

Just the story of my 1st Level Human Druid rolling a critical failure while trying to hit a goblin with his sickle, who proceeds to crit my druid with a pointy stick.

in a Shadowrun campaign a few years ago, I was an Orc rat shaman. I rode around on a tiny moped (known as the Ratmobile) and I had a gigantic bag of crap I carried with me everywhere (I'm a packrat, right?). The GM and I had a deal where I could roll a check to pull ANY desired object out of the bag. As in, "I think I have a can of Elf-B-Gone in here somewhere..."

That and the cup of holding bombs. We had a character who had only two abilities, engineering and making *s of holding. He set up a clockwork mechanism where one cup of holding would be slowly moved into another, and (as any good D&D geek knows) when one bag of holding goes inside another it goes BOOM. Made for wonderful booby traps.

A bag of holding inside another bag of holding equals boom?

Cool... But why?

Anyhoo... I *finally* got a Traveller game last night. The game ran ten hours... No books were opened, no dice were rolled*. At at least one point, tears were shed. Now that's quality role playing.

*although I did have players randomize verbally, six times... "Ok, give me a number between one and ten".

Forgot exactly why, but I know it has something to do with the fact each bag opens into a non-dimensional space... same thing with that hole you can move around.

I have not been able to get together with everyone for a game for a while now, but one of my favorite RPG moments... Most of the time I'm the DM but I when I got to play, I had a human necromancer. I was able to convince my whole team to let me give them a Necro cyst (great little spell from the book Libris Mortis, its just a bit of magic infused undead flesh) buy telling them all the good stuff it can do (I can talk for them if they need it, I can see what they see witch is great for exploring when we have to split up it's almost like a one way radio) What I did NOT tell them Is I can also do bad things... Make it explode, grow and take over parts of there brain, and at very high levels have it just take over there soul. They found this all out the hard way when I finally became a lich and came to the conclusion that undead ally's were better then ones that are still alive (they cant turn on you, they don't eat, sleep, ect.)

That was good campaign

I'm thinking of running a 1930s pulp action campaign this coming year at school. Masked crimefighters uppercutting Hitler, preventing the Nazis from summoning Cthulhu, that sort of thing.

That's right god damn it. If anyone is going to summon Cthulhu it's gonna be us North Americans.

I've actually been wanting to join in on a WoD game but haven't had any luck.

Anyways, on to the story. My first DnD game was with myself and two friends. I was an Elf Ranger (Yeah... Legolas, much?) and my friend was a Human Thief.

Within the first 5 minutes of the game my friend walked up to a homeless person on the side of the street and tried to mug him. Turned out he was really a thief in disguise. A higher level thief.

I rush over to help him. As I get there, my friend knocks out the disguised thief and the guards start rushing over. I skitter off down the alley and my friend... Tries to hide in plain sight. Right infront of two guards. In the middle of an alley.

Long story short, we ran down the alley untill we hit a dead end. I jump out from around the corner and yell that I'm a powerful elven mage and that if they came any closer I'd turn them to ash. 5 minutes later we were in jail. My friend picked his way out later and found his way to a storage closet full of potions. He starts throwing the potions (...) and they turn out to be explosive. We die in a blaze of glory that takes out the entire jail.

The end.

Me and Squid will have a Traveller* orgy with ya. Traveller isn't the only RPG... Just the best**.

*run with GURPS mechanics of course...

**although... Transhuman Space is really making my nipples hard lately. But my Traveller universe is much more 'realistic' hard SF, so it's bears a lot of resemblance to THS, but much, much bigger and with more aliens.

Hmm ... D&D game, my halfling bardess finds a magic belt. It looks like a nifty one that she'd like, so she puts it on.
And then she becomes a he.
And can't take it off.
And no one else is capable of casting Remove Curse.
And she/he can't take her/his pants off to answer a call of nature ...

So, I now have a first level, unexpectedly transgendered, smelly, halfling bard.

Its a game where I can play an uplifted, sentient, sapient, space-faring octopus. FUCK YES MY NIPPLES ARE HARD!

Overshot with a super speed once and rather than knocking the gunman away from the hostage I sent myself and the hostage through the window...of the penthouse apartment.

Well, I have a much loved character. If you know AD&D 3rd edition, you'll know that it's expensive for the Fighter class to have the generally useful skills like Spot or Listen. But Craft is normal cost. So I took a muscular, full-plate-armour-shield-longsword, human 'tank', gave him Craft(Painting) and made him an artist. He would make snarky comments about decor, vandalise evil temples with chalk and paint and capture wondorous events and brutal slayings on canvas. When he rescued a noblewoman from slavers he only asked to have his paintings in her gallery. Great fun.

Cut the pants?

You could then pee through one of the legholes.

He'd be wearing very short shorts as a result, but whatever.

And, in one of my recent experiences of true D+D, my character was too weak to actually do damage to the mage without a dual attack, and I was the closest to the mage, so I jsut mooned him.

In the game after that I was a bard and sang for an hour while my party beat teh crap out of a cave filled with bugbears. At least I caused incidental damage that time.

Thionking of D&D, I'm sure most of you have heard of the infamous Netbook of Unlawful Carnal Knowlege. I was wondering if you have seen the D20 update for it?

My first game was Vampire: The Masquerade. I was using two automatic weapons, celerity, and possibly something else I can't remember. End result was me rolling something like eighty dice (specialized) in a combat round. I ended up becoming so fed up with it that I pulled out my laptop and wrote a quick program in C++ to handle all my dicework.

Oddly enough, I didn't lose my RPGinity until after I lost my actual virginity. I guess I never fit the greasy fat nerd stereotype entirely.

Came pretty close, though.

I was playing (crap forgot, used d10 and very pulp-ish). Anyways, I'm a thief and through the story line I get to be a priestess a very, very klepto priestess who tortures people. By the end of the game I was banned from being a thief in his groups ever again. You really need a very special type of GM when your first response is: "I steal it!" just to see if I can and what would happen if I did.
