Current Events > what's the greatest thing you've done in a tabletop RPG?

(+) Yeah! (+)

mine's a tossup between oneshotting a lesser vampire in Warhammer Fantasy or making a tailorshop named Styler's Stylin's in Pathfinder...

Destroyed a mech with explosive poo. It was a weird BESM game.

One of the other players wanted to play a joke on my Dwarven martial artist, so he gave me a ton of exlax laced brownies. Little later I ran off into the woods and got into a fight with the mech when I realized that I had to go, and when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Did almost all the work in defeating a half blue-dragon in a fight that you're not supposed to win in DnD's Horde of the Dragon Queen.

Risked my life running in front of two demons that could one shot me just to take a peep at a drow's sex dungeon/bedroom. Made a clean 20gp doing it and now the drow has gone bonkers and is trying to hunt us down.

that's awesome

jumped onto the back of a red dragon while it was flying and grappled it to the ground in dnd 3.5

That made me sound like a dick, let me rephrase, i've never played a tabletop RPG in my life, so any accomplishment associated is never playing one before.

I wasn't meaning it to sound like i'm superior for not playing those or anything, I just never had the opportunity or friends that played them.
---

also impressive!

another awesome moment of mine is when i was min-maxing in Savage Worlds and the GM made clones of me as villains.

I inadvertently caused a TPK through cloning.

No, re-reading it back it sounded like I was being a douche, completely understood.

well, i hope you find some friends that are willing to run something with you.

it can be a lot of fun.

I was solving a murder mystery but didn't realize the local sheriff was in on it, so I handed him the murder weapon. Then as he put up wanted posters with me, I ran away with the wrongfully accused suspect (and only witness) only to have him brutally killed and eaten by a giant bird in the woods.
---

the greatest thing i've seen that i wasn't actively a part of was one of our players got eaten by a moray eel in Pathfinder. One of the other players rolled a natural 1 (not a good thing) to retrieve a body part so we could rez him.

body part in question was retrieved. body part in question was the guy's dick...

was the funniest thing ever when we brought it to the town priest for a rez.

Pathfinder. Info for people in the know inside parenthesis.

We were a bunch of level 1 characters going up against a green wyrmling. (That's a CR 4 encounter which is pretty steep for a bunch of level ones, especially since it was at the end of a dungeon, but we had an insane point buy.)

Anyway, I was running as a half-Orc cleric, and as a half-Orc naturally I was weilding a great axe. (Only had 14 strength, but I was typically using my axe with the magic domain and was using my 20 wisdom for attacks. Like I said. Insane point buy.)

We were on the ropes. In desperation I charge with my axe and manage two natural 20's in a row. I did a ridiculous amount of damage for a first level cleric, and lopped the things head right off (seeing as we was below negative con).

I then sat down and began tearing pieces out of him and eating it. Because, at the start of the battle, I yelled "I'll feast on dragon tonight!"

Half-orcs are great.

I was the priest guy in Betrayal at the House on the Hill. While my friends were doing whatever, I started farming the fitness squares that I found and turned my character into a fucking god. I had also found a gun earlier

Eventually we get enough omen cards and the Betrayal happens, and I'm the traitor. I end up zooming through the house at like 8 speed per turn or something and one-shot all of them

Okay here we go, second story. It's pathfinder again, towards the end of book 5 of the kingmaker adventure path.

I was playing as a Bard. Had been seen the begining of the campaign. I'm guessing he was level 14 or 15 by that point. I had picked up the Leadership feat as soon as I could and I had recruited the fairy dragon npc from much earlier in the campaign as my sidekick. So they were effectively a level 11 or 12 sorcerer.

Anyway, we were in the middle of a huge scale battle, and the party found themselves squaring off against the leaders of the mercenary army our nation was fighting. The biggest baddest of them all stepped foward and challenged us to send forth our best to fight in a one on one duel. Naturally, our party had no interest in standing around watching two champions fight while our constituents were fighting for their lives all around us, but before we could do anything, the fairy dragon shouted "challenge accepted!" and promptly cast Hold Monster on the guy, then used his rod of quicken spell to cast Create Pit right under him. He fell defenselessly into the pit, and the next round the fairy dragon flew up to the side of pit, blasted him with a fiery Dragon Breath spell, and again used the quicken rod to blast him with a trio of scorching rays.

The GM was a little perturbed by how quickly my cohort took out such a challenging bastard, but I promised I wouldn't use that broken ass combination again and I really just wanted to see what he could do when going all out.

After that my character, the king, always referred to the fairy dragon as the Champion of our kingdom.

Disguised myself as the assassin sent to kill me to collect a bounty on my own head.

Well...

I was playing Only War, one of the Warhammer 40k rpgs where you play as Guardsmen (soldiers, not sure how familiar people are with 40k here)

We had a Leman Russ tank and a jeep, and 5 players. We'd been through some incredibly tough fights against all sorts of shit until this point, and even drove through a minefield while being shot at and kept the tank intact.

The party was a techpriest (me, basically a tech cyborg guy), a psyker (psychic character, focused on pyromancy), a commissar (officer), an operator (he drove the tank), and a regular combatant type soldier

The psyker and I were driving the jeep, the other three were in the tank.
So, this tank is pretty much impervious to anything that isn't heavy weapons like giant lasers or rockets... how could we possibly lose it after all that crap we'd been through? Well, in literally the stupidest way possible

We were sent to reclaim a lost radio facility to restore communications because it went dark during an attack. When we got there, everyone seemed to be dead. The tank drove in, while me and the other guy kept the jeep outside in case of whatever

The dead inside started to rise as zombies, infected by some sort of brain spore that took control of their bodies (like the ones IRL that take control of bugs). The GM called for a fear check, and two of the three guys inside of the tank failed.

The driver fainted while he was driving, and he crashed the tank into a wall, and the officer started throwing up violently. Both effects would last for a few rounds. Meanwhile, as far as me and the psyker waiting outside in the jeep were concerned, nothing was happening yet.

We rolled initiatives

The zombies started swarming the tank. Remember, the zombies literally can't do shit to the tank. It's a goddamn tank and they're just zombies

The soldier dude - the one who hadn't failed against fear, decided it was a good idea to open the hatch while the zombies were swarming the tank, and while the other two players inside were temporarily incapacitated. He popped out of the hatch and saw there were like dozens of zombies climbing the tank, so he went back in and didn't close the hatch. He drew a power sword (basically a fucking lightsaber) and started killing the zombies one by one as they poured into the open hatch

He missed an attack and the GM rolled where the sword would hit.
It hit the god damn fuel tanks

The tank went up in flames, and in the meantime me and the other guy just stared on, wondering what the fuck just happened. Everyone in the tank died, of course, and we lost the tank too.

I usually GM these days. But I think the most bad ass thing I did was while I was playing Torg, we were with Tolwyn who is this really major badass NPC and a bunch of Ninjas attacked or something like that. I was playing a cowboy riding a dinosaur so I pull out my gun and spray bullets and I roll so well I instantly kill all of them before Tolwyn gets to draw her sword.
