I didn't know where else to start this thread, so here it goes:
Today I had the most d&d-like real life experience of my life. When me and a friend left a bar and were walking towards my friend's car, some guy approached us with an unusual request. He asked us if we were willing to fight him. Of course our reaction was "ummm,what?" so he explained that he wanted a fight and if we managed to beat him he'd give us 140 euros. At this point it all started to look like a joke, but then the guy(never seen him before) took of his shirt, put it on the ground and took out his wallet. He then took some cash out and counted it(it really was 140e) and put the money on his shirt. At this point we weren't so sure about what was going on anymore.. There were some other people nearby, but judging from their expression they also had no connection whatsoever with the guy. Now, I'm not very big myself, and my friend is barely 4cm(2 inc or something like that) higher than me, but were still higher than him, and we had 10kg each on him, so we could have taken him on easily(oh yeah, he also said I could use the beer bottle I was carrying if I wanted). I've done strange things in my time, but beating up a guy for money is still something I'd rather not be part of, so we just left, but as we got to the car it suddenly came to me. This was a CR appropriate random encounter! The odds were strongly in my party's favour, there was loot involved, and it sure as hell was random! So... do you guys(and gals) think I'm being DM'd? :eek:
