I got quite a kick out of the epic dm moments/ jerk dm moments thread so I thought I would make this thread about some funny/cool moments where a new player shined or went down in a hilarious ball of flames.
By and large my experiences with newer players are with my dms trying to get their girlfriends to play, which tends to end badly. They will argue and the game tends to break down or they will contribute little get bored and leave, but some very entertaining moments came out of these situations.
1. Paladin running away from commoner and kobold zombies to be ripped in two by ropers (very nasty).
2. Monk running away from commoner zombies to be ripped apart by a grey render zombie (sensing a pattern here, never split up)
3. Goliath monk doing an awesome backflip....out of the ring of safety against the advice of the party druid to be eaten by a land wyrm of some sort.
4. halfling rogue being hit by every trap in the dungeon ever, and not ever trying to search for the traps.
5. gnome bard running naked through town invisible pantsing people until being run over by a cart filled with gnome prisoners (what they were supposed to be looking for in the first place).
6. And last but not least... introducing your girlfriend to dnd by playing tomb of horrors as the party's meatshield.
