Woohoo go copy paste from Horatio D'Asquith my current character for the DnD campaign I'm playing in.
1. We're in the High Elf kingdom of our DM's world, they've cut
themselves off completely from the rest of the world, prefering their
idylic islands of eternal summer to the strife and war that seems to
infest the mainland. Horatio arrived in the High Elf kingdoms, the
first human to ever set foot upon it, tied up, naked and covered in
vampire bites, some recent, some begining to scar.
This was after
his disastorous attempt to pull an elven vampire... you get the idea of
how his mind works. He'd been tied up as the vampire had commanded him
to attack the rest of the party when they came to remove them, and was
then thrown through the portal first in case anything bad was waiting on the other side. They really weren't happy with him for trying to shoot them. Anyway while there he and another party
member staged a mock fight, trashing half of the palace and beating
into unconciousness anyone who tried to interfere in order to gain the
freedom of the palace, which they did by attracting the fancy of the
current ruler of this particular queendom. There was chandelier swinging, table throwing, using chairs as makeshift clubs the lot. We also ran a book on the
fight and swindled a buch of elves for as much as possible.
After that
came the incredible conga plan! We had to steal a particular painting
so that an NPC magic user who was with us at the time could create a
portal to get some more sensible High Elves to come and make the rest
actually do something useful for a change. While our resident thief
went to procure said painting, Horatio formed the now infamous 'Conga'
plan, to ensure that the crime would be covered up. This basically
involved getting as many High Elves as drunk as possible, forming a
conga, congaing the long way to the bottom of the tower, kicking in the
door of the gallery, then encouraging the elves to destroy the
priceless and ancient artwork, so that noone would ever notice the
theft, and in the din of the magical alarms, wouldn't notice the first
alarm going off. As a result of this drinking alcohol is now forbidden in the
High Elf kingdoms, and so is the Conga.
One more since its my personal favourite,
We
had to get past a cave full of frost giants, I think there were about
12 in all, and having recently killed a white dragon we had managed to
find a potion of embiggining. This effect also applies to anything the
character who is being enlarged is holding. So we gave our most giant
seeming character a nail bomb, enlarged him and the bomb, and then cast
a magic mouth spell on the fuse, which would start singing a song
praising the might, bravery, attractiveness and anything else we could
think of, of the frost giant's leader. We then presented said giant
nail bomb as a gift to the Frost Giant chieftan, telling him that it
was a magic singing box, that would tell great tales of the holder if
fire was applied to the top of it, then we ran like hell. Scratch one
Frost Giant Tribe.
There we go, you looked kind of lonely in here Shads so I thought I'd put something in. Plus if noone else posts I automatically win. Woohoo go default victories!
No. What you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.

Ok, a few years ago, I was playing a min-maxed Half-Orc monk named Orwig in a heavily anime influenced game. (The only reason I min-maxed was I knew the DM was running a higher power game, and it had been awhile since I had played a rough and tumble butt whooper.) Also, the DM had downloaded a DM's Wrath List, and was actually using it. Anywho, we were in one of the main cities in the DM's custom world, and it was festival time. During the festival, they were holding an unarmed tournement and an unarmed tournement. After Orwig cleaned up in the unarmed tourny, he decided to try his hand in the armed tourny. After beating the bejesus out of everyone he encountered (despite the fact that one of them was in armor and wielding a great axe) he got to the final round. As a safety measure to stop me from winning, the DM had put in an NPC that was a solid 6 lvls higher then my character. After a VERY bloody fight, the NPC walked out victorious, but he knew he had been in a fight.
That is NOT the story, it is just background so that you understand the campaign and the character involved.
About five weeks into the campaign, the DM was refusing to wrath my character, no matter what I did, because he was affraid I would turn any wrath around to my advantage. I started pestering the DM, basically calling him out for never wrathing me for the disruptive things I had done in the game. Finally, the DM snapped, and double wrathed Orwig. He rolls twice on the chart, chuckles as he gets his result, and suddenly Orwig, who only spoke in broken commen (Int score of 6) wakes up as a female elf. So, my character tailors his clothes (yes, my monk knew tailoring) so that they remotely fit, and goes to explain the situation to the parties wizard. After the wizard laughs histarically for about half an hour, he decides that it would be best that the rest of the party not know what happened. Orwig, not being incredibally bright, agreed to this, let the wizard come up with a new name for "her" and explain to the rest of the Party that Orwig had been called back to his monistary and that Lucca would be assisting them until Orwig could return. Now, while Orwig wasn't very smart, he was wise, and soon realized that this was a bad idea, but couldn't back out of it, so had to do his best to play the part.
After that session, the DM gets to thinking, and decides that there has to be a reason that Orwig suddenly changed like that. So we sat down and concocted the greatest magical multiple personality disorder EVER. The next session, after narrowly surviving a Tsunami, Lucca is sitting under a tree, and a turtle falls out of the tree and conks her on the head. When she comes to, the character is now ACTUALLY a female elf WIZARD named Lucca, reincarnated after dying in a war centuries earlier. Confused by her surroundings (She had no memory of what her host body had been up to), the party eventually calms her down, but are secretly convinced that Orwig is just playing a joke on them. That is of course until she starts casting magic. After finding out what the party was doing, she decided to help them, since they were questing for an artifact that she blamed for the war that she had orginally died in. With this, the party continues on towards dwarven lands, where the next clue is said to be hidden.
On the way to Dwarven lands, they are being pursued by an army of undead, after the same artifact. Knowing that the party will never make it across the desert while being chased by the undead, Lucca volunteers to lead a desperate defense at a small village on the route. Gathering about 20 volunteers, she promises to buy the party and refugees as much time as possible. Using the terrain to their advantage, Lucca and the peasant militia held off the army for over an hour before being overwelmed. But wait, that's not the end of her. With her life in mortal danger, suddenly, Lucca dissappears, and is replaced by Orwig! Finding himself in the middle of a battle, no friends in sight, the monk starts smashing undead left and right, gets to the stables, takes a horse, and rushes out of there. He heads west, as the party had decided on their next destination before the turtle had gotten rid of him, and arrives in dwarven lands. Exhausted from the ride, he passes out mere miles from the dwarven capital.
Now that the present danger had passed, Orwig changed Back into Lucca, as the trigger for the transformation turned out to be that Orwig was there to protect Lucca, and the surest way to protect someone is to remove them from existance when their lives are threatened.
Anyone follow all of that?

I was the DM and i was escorting a Level 1 group of players ( who had foolishly jumped in an ogre lair ECL 9 ) they were being chased and they saw a ladder, so the fighter cut it down and threw it at the army of ogres, and it scored a critical so they cheered, but the ogres got REALLY mad and the ogre mage blasted them!

heya. I wrote a short story a while back very similar to the Dndorks theme. As a writer, I'd been trying to find a place to get it published and been turned down time and again (though some editors really got a kick out of it) and I finally got it published in The Cynic (april fools day release of all dates). The other day I was clicking through some links through a writer friend's website and somehow stumbled onto Dndorks. I fell in love and read the entire archived comic (which distracted me from my current writing project for a couple days) and I've now added this site to my "list" (I regularly read several online comics, including Full Frontal Nerdity which is similarly themed to Dndorks, but without the continuity).
Anyhow, I thought I'd share my story since this is a story thread... but I don't want to post it up since it might not come through perfect in the formatting, so I will post a link. Also, I might have landed a gig writing a new column at the BetterFiction website; the column would be dedicated to the things that distract writers away from their projects, and Dndorks will be one of my first articles (providing the column opens) and then I can spread the distraction to others (enter evil Ethan Mwaa!)
so here's those links to The Epic Quest of Big Epicness http://www.cynicmag.com/features2006.asp?articleid=2111 (this is the online published version) http://www.freewebs.com/thekakosrealm/epicquest.pdf (this is a pdf version that you can download and save)
lemme know what you think... lookin forward to joinin the community (and love the new story arc--I'm a big fan of Arkham Horro and am mainly a horror/spec fic writer)

We had a guy playing with us, Nathan, and Nathan was a few years younger than us when we played in high school. Nathan's a great guy, but his inexperience showed at the time and he'd get certain ideas "fixed" in his head and have trouble changing his idea of how things worked. Funny how we can argue about how we things we just "imagine"
Anyways, Nathan would always play the person that would "get" things done, but he'd always be taken advantage of by the rest of the group. Kinda like Doofus maybe, the big strong character who doesn't know any better than to do what he is told.
We were playing a sci-fi setting where the group travelled through space and landed on a planet. As the group was about to head out of the ship we get into the following conversation.
Me: "As you step out..."
Nathan 'What? There isn't any air in space! I hold my breath"
Me "No, you know there is air, your ship's sensors told you so"
We proceeded to get into a bit of a discussion on whether there was air or not, finally I got tired of it.
Me: "Nathan, roll an endurance check"
Nathan "Why?"
Me "Because you're holding your breath, lets see how long you can hold it"
Nathan "Ok, makes sense. <rolls die> I fail"
Me "Ok, you get light headed and fall to the ground, you wake up moments later realizing that there is, indeed air, and that you're breathing heavily"
It was kind of funny, even funnier years later when they had a similar scene in Galaxy Quest.

This is from a time when a friend of mine let me sit in on one of his sessions and watch the game.
His character (we'll call him Sam) was a female Changeling Rouge in the disguise of a male Orc, by the name of Kaz. It seemed like he was in the mood to pick on another player's (call him Cameron) character, which was a male Half-elf Monk called Bob. It started off with Kaz turning into Bob, in front of Bob. The transformation was a success, all except that Kaz's version of Bob had an unusally high-pitched voice. Guess what... Bob was flattered! "And Bob blushes, extremely flattered by the other."
So, as a joke, Kaz (as Bob) started winking playfully at Bob. What happened next had everyone except Cameron laughing. So says the DM, snickering, "Bob looks away shyly. Bob starts questioning his sexuality." Cameron was gaping widely, as Ethan (dndorks reference) did after the comic strip in which his psion/rouge/paladin got eaten by the red dragon all those years ago. The DM sat there, shaking his head, trying hard not to chuckle... as everyone else was giggling gleefully.
(Man, Galaxy Quest was a ridiculous movie! Lots of fun... Tim Allen and Alan Rickman played their parts well.)
