Embarrassing walk -ins

[daremetoidareyo]

Roleplaying in general is a weird thing to try to explain to someone who has no frame of reference. What is even worse is then un-initiated people step into the gaming zone only to see or overhear something straight up crazy. What is the playgrounds' most embarrassing roleplaying story that involves someone walking into the room with little or no context?

[Milodiah]

"No, you can't hire prostitutes and then kill them for the experience."

[Kid Jake]

"Dozens of murdered Italians, men; women and children, are slaughtered in the street, their corpses discovered in the bay mutilated and marked as a warning to others."
"Are our fingerprints on them?"

Or maybe:

"Alright, I'll give you a bonus for such savage rectal trauma."

Those at least got the most 'what the hells' from my player's wife.

[BWR]

"What, don't you go around with dildos in your pocket?"
Not actually a roleplaying line, but a discussion about porn movies took place during the game at the club and some poor girl (about 14-15 I think) wandered in just then. She made a heel-face turn and we never saw her again.

[WarKitty]

Do the results I got for setting my skype name to "The Evil Dungeonmistress" count? That was some set of interesting contact requests...I was such a sheltered girl too.

I was running a game of Paranoia at my girlfriend's place. One of her roommates is from Guangdong, China.

That made me feel a little awkward after I congratulated the players for their efforts in "crushing the communist menace to our society!" right as she walked in.

[AuraTwilight]

"Okay look, guys, if we're going to succeed in aborting this baby we're gonna have to--...Oh hi. My pregnant sister. How's uh. How's things?"

[Knaight]

I don't have anything all that good, but there was the time when someone of a sensitive disposition walked in on a really bleak Microscope game - during a description of everyone on a submarine dying horribly because of electrical malfunctions that caused it to drop below the maximum depth. A somewhat long description.

[Sith_Happens]

My old roommates had a talent for walking through the living room in the middle of the campaign's latest sex-related derailment. Every. Single. Time.

[TheCountAlucard]

There was the time me and my gaming friends got the police called on us when discussing our characters' plans for a Shadowrun game that would take place the following week, while eating at a Denny's. Luckily the cops understood that we were just nerds.

[Hyena]

From a recent thread.

For the past 3 years I've been running a continuous string of campaigns in the same world, with the same recurring NPCs. One of these NPCs, is a woman named Terial. She been nick named by the players as "Care Taker." She is easily the nicest, most helpful, soft spoken, easy going, character I have ever created. She is immensely powerful, and uses that power to heal, revive, and put the party back together. Recently during a large scale, city wide battle. The party came up against the BBEG and promptly had their @$$es handed to them. Terial who helped them get that far, then sacrificed herself to save the party and stop the BBEG (temporarily). I was expecting people to be upset but it's been 3 weeks since then and none of my Players Have managed to get over it. I even think they are going through the stages of loss. I have a small hunch that they resent me a little bit for killing her. One of my players and close friends was talking to me about the session while in the middle of a Target store when suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders, shook me violently and screamed "why did you have to kill her?!?" We then had to explain to the off duty officer one isle over that no one actually died.

Doesn't get more embarassing than this.

[Raine_Sage]

Said aloud while walking through a school corridor:

"Well if you didn't want them to hate her maybe you shouldn't have fed him those poisonous mushrooms and locked him in a closet."

Earned us a couple of dubious looks from fellow classmates.

[Rater202]

"Okay look, guys, if we're going to succeed in aborting this baby we're gonna have to--...Oh hi. My pregnant sister. How's uh. How's things?"

...

It ain't right, but I laughed at it.

Not exactly a Walk in, but just a little while ago I got a concerned PM about the 10-11 year old and builds guns in his basement in my Roleplaying is Magic Game.

Guy thought I was talking about a player, not a PC.

[Hbgplayer]

One time on vacation, we were playing in the camp ground's lodge, and we had the following dialouge:
DM: "You walk into to the orphanage and see nothing but puddles of blood on the ground."
Me: "That bastard! He killed the Orphans!"

And of course, this is when a group of old grannies walked in.

I have also been on the opposite side of the scene. Once while working security at my college, I hear moaning and screaming coming from one of the rooms in the theater building. Not knowing what it was, I pound on the door, yelling "Campus Public Safety," and open the door... to see five guys sitting around playing a table top game. Apparently they were using the Book of Erotic Fantasy. I don't know who was more embarrassed. (And yes, one of the guys did sound like a girl moaning)

[Slipperychicken]

Shadowrun planning session, played in a classroom at night. Our PCs were plotting for OOC hours to abduct a college-age girl from a concert ("next friday"), we were laughing like idiots talking about drugging people, killing people, spiking drinks, and dealing with security and police, next to a chalkboard with a detailed map on it. The windows were open.

Two police officers walked in. They noticed our dice and realized we were playing a game, but they told us to get out (the building was closed at the time) and we never played shadowrun again after that.

[Kid Jake]

After hearing some of these I have to wonder how many people have used 'I was only playing Shadowrun!' in court to contest conspiracy charges.

[Vitruviansquid]

Not exactly an RPG, but my roommate was trying to tell me how cool Portal 2 was by quoting Glados's hatred of orphans in a taqueria once. Sitting at the table behind him was a gigantic, athletic looking guy giving him a look of "simmering with barely concealed rage."

Fortunately, he didn't defenestrate us both.

[LibraryOgre]

Not quite a walk-in story, but...

We were playing Rifts (in the late 90s, early 2000s; I was in college, so no later than 2001, and probably about 98 or 99; I want to say it was after Columbine) in an apartment with VERY thin walls. As many Rifts games do, this one involved us carefully planning an attack... we were talking about kill zones, overlapping fields of fire, explosives, the whole 9 yards. Like you do.

We slowly became aware of police lights outside. This made us substantially worried, since we thought "Holy crap, did someone overhear us and call the cops, thinking we were planning a REAL massacre?"

Turns out that someone had lit a rag and stuffed it into a neighbor's gas tank. Had the neighbor's daughter not come home late, we would've had a car explode on us about the time we were springing our trap on the forces of Mindwerks...

[nitpick]
I think you mean ‘Turned on her heel” as a Heel face turn. Is a bit different. Unless she was a villain that suddenly became a hero.
[/nitpick]

I also read that as pub not club. Which was calling to mind all sorts of other questions...

...my god.

while it's not DnD related.
I actually saw our neighbor’s car get torched, big orange flames and everything. My bro has a friend on the local police force, he asked him and he told us a little about the investigation. Turns out the guy’s (now ex) girlfriend found out about his other girlfriend.

[Kane0]

"No, you can't go to the local temple and just take the orphans to rear as messenger boys"

"No, the pregnant mother of 7 will not accompany you into the woods"

"I said chest, not breast"

"You cannot ride the giant lizard, in any meaning of the phrase"

"No, Finger of Death is in no way related to Kiss of Death"

"There is no way in hell your bluff is high enough to convince him of where his entrails currently are"

"So you're casting Raise Dead while the pyre is still alight?"

"He swings in the other direction"

"First I'm going to amputate, then i'm going to attach this wand to the stump."

Yes all of these happened, though not the same group/person.

[Palanan]

1. I was having lunch with a friend in a Thai restaurant, and he was enthusiastically telling me about the new game he'd just started to DM. Among many other details, he loudly and laughingly described how the party had accidentally shot the NPC druid, who had fallen ahead of them in the corridor, and whose arrow-feathered body was subsequently set on fire. By that point we were starting to get some very strange looks from the tables near us.

Also, apparently the party killed Meepo. Not sure if I ever got the full story on that.



2. Not directly related to gameplay, but an awkward moment during my first night with a different gaming group. The DM was on the phone with a friend, discussing the friend's wife.

DM: Tell her I want to see her ****.

(pause)

DM: Oh yeah, she already did.



I didn't go back to that group.

Note to self: when planning massive bank heists, be sure to set table for a session of WoD in case of investigation...

The shop where I play Warhammer at customarily goes to the Asian restaurant across the street after games. The owners are used to it, they even let us store our enormous amount of baggage (two or three boxes per person, ten to fifteen people) in a back room. But you can only talk about throwing grenades at people, air support and sniper fire so often until you get strange looks.

Still not as bad as Shadowrun, of course. That game is made for being taken out of context. We once had a very loud discussion about drones, gang members, drugs, hiding evidence and bribing the police. On a public train, when two officers of the railway police came in.

At university the RP'ing society was notorious for Shadowrun/Cyberpunk misunderstandings. The two best being the police being called to investigate the shopping list of guns and ammo a G.M. left in the Students Union and the deep suspicion after a Cyberpunk group were overheard discussing setting a electrical fire to cover up evidence shortly before the room they were in was gutted by an electrical fire !

Brain fart. Most embarrassing.

[Kesnit]

It wasn't a walk-in, rather a player saying something that just came out WRONG.

We were playing a Vampire: the Requeim game. I was playing a female Malkavian (the disease, not the Ventrue bloodline) with Dementate. Another player was a low-Humanity Nos. My PC (through Dementate) discovered a ghost who was living in our Haven. I was the only one who could talk to him (through Dementate), but was passing on everything he said to the party. We got a lot of good info out of him, but then it was time to wrap up for the night. Before we did, I asked the rest of the party if there was any other info they wanted.

The Nos turns to me and said (completely deadpan and IC) "I want you to suck him for everything he's got." I broke out laughing so hard I stopped breathing and turned purple.

Spoiler

In an amusing twist of fate, the oxygen loss to my brain seems to have triggered a realization that I was attracted to the Nos's player. We've been married for two years now.

D'awww!chars

*walks in on session*
*player is describing Animal X Human*
*walks right back out again to insane laughter of entire group*

DM: Oh yeah, she already did.

Is it possible the DM wanted to see the wife's sheet (as in character sheet), and you misheard it as a common four-letter word that sounds similar to "sheet"?
