Everyone loves an epic campaign, with nasty villains, engaging NPC's, and good plot/character development. However, I'm sure everyone also loves to occasionally kick back and just goof off during a D&D session. From time to time, such goofing off will invariably result in hilarious TALES OF INSANITY. These are those stories, feel free to post your own.
My first game started off in a bar. I was a level three wizard, and we had just begun the campaign. My friends were using characters they had used in other campaigns before, and the DM introduced a little goodie they all appreciated--an NPC who was actually the DM's PC from another campaign, doing a little cameo. His name was Turgon, and he was a rather uber warrior, whose tales of awesomeness were told throughout the land. His skin was green and metallic due to eating some sort of magical metal (long story.) This metal skin gave him very high damage reduction. We ended up getting into a drinking contest with him (and losing badly), and getting our quest from him as well. This was the time when an intelligent person would leave. We laugh at intelligence!
The party rogue decided to attempt to pick Turgon's pocket, for 'kicks.' He succeeded, and a sort of evil grin spread across the DM's face.
"All right, you reach into the pocket. You feel a sort of....stick thing."
"What is it?"
"It looks like a stick."
"I appraise it." (rolls fairly high. The DM stares at him, and nearly bursts out laughing.)
"It appears to be made of metal. It's green."
So, the Rogue puts it in his pocket and we leave the tavern. When we get outside, he attempts to appraise it further, and rolls more successfully...and we finally learn the truth.
"It's crap. You reached into his pants, and pulled out a piece of his crap." It turned out, apparently Turgon was so tough, he actually ate, and digested Starmetal, then crapped it out. And we sold it to a blacksmith for quite some profit. As you can tell, this was not a serious campaign at all.
Anyone else have good stories?
