Hello Dakka this is my first post and my question is what was the most funny our ridicules thing that has happened to you will playing a role playing game our to one of your team mates. tell any story that makes you go our and maybe so post and have fun

Our first fire fight in our cyberpunk campaign, which used a modified Shadowrun setting (Read: None of that fantasy and magic bs). I was the street samurai, the other guy a jack of trades guy and we were tasked with repo'ing a car. So we snuck up at night, me opting to go around back, while he tried the front door and failing miserably.

He managed to get into a firefight with two or three hood rats and managed to roll so badly that he BRICKED both his SMG and pistol. They didn't just jam, their fething OS locked up and refused to reboot. To make matters worse, he was taking cover behind a car, cue another bad roll and the brakes were shot out, with the car slowly rolling away.

Not that I did any better, I tried to kick in the door, which resulted in my leg getting stuck in it for a few turns while one of the hood rats was racking the slide of his AK.

In the end we managed to kill them, along with a woman who was sleeping on the couch.

Eesh.

In my current Pathfinder game, my rogue received a blessing and divine aura from a deity, allowing him to cast out the appearance of an divine being. Thought we could use that to get into a castle with a little help from our mage to levitate me up to the gatehouse so that I could fill the guards with awe and fear, and make them open up the doors for us.

First, I botched Bluff roll, and the guy was not buying it despite me glowing and floating (some mage help there). I was given another chance to talk him down and get him from raising the alarm...which I of course botched.

Now alerted, the guard goes to attack, so I try to quick shot him with my crossbow to take him out before he can get help.

Roll a 1.

Now a little side note. The rule we use for critical fumbles is a d100 roll to determine the effect, where the higher roll means worse. So just keep that in mind, as a rule of thumb, 1-25 on that roll is just "you lose your turn" with more and more penalties as it gets higher. Got that in your head? Good.

I roll a 100.

The absolute worst possible roll. So I somehow not only miss the guard, but shoot the alarm, and ricochet the bolt back into me, causing me to fall 3 stories from a great height, causing my leg to break and scattering my supplies all over. Meanwhile, not only are the guards on the wall alerted, but also the city patrols, and thus the chase begins with me clinging onto the monk to get any kind of movement through the city as arrows rain down on the party as we beat a hasty exit.

I just remembered some great stories. so one time me and my friends where playing a song of ice and fire role play and we where playing this campaign that was in kings landing. So at one point on there was a tournament and my friend entered in the melee. so in the first round he and 10 other contestants (making it 11 in total) all faced of in a arena like area. by the way this was supposed to be a blunt weapons melee. So NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE this is important. So the round starts and we release that three of the other npc constants have brought sharp weapons deadly weapons . alone of this two of the other contestants where poisoned before hand (that was part of the campaign story) so they where going to . so not to far into the round the two poisoned contestants drop and die and the 2 of the cheaters (the other was knocked out at the begging of the round)
have killed a couple of guys. so at this point my friend has been fighting and of of the knights he was fighting yields two him and surrenders. so my friend whats to punch the coward in the face to knock him out so he roles for punching and roles a double of these we agree that he punched the knight so hard that PUNCHED HIS HEAD OFF HIS BODY. My friends then grabs the knights head holds it by the hair with on hand and holds it above his head will shouting at the horrified spectators STEVE HALT!!!!. So in the end he one the first round of the tournament but he is disqualified because he killed a guy. and he has to pay money to the family of the knight he killed. In the end the body count for that round of the tournament was 3 guys knocked out 1 who had his hand chopped of and 6 DEAD. IN A TOURNAMENT WHERE NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE.
