This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's the Biggest Bad you've Taken Down?

For me, i think it's a Mind Flayer King or an old Blue Dragon.

You?

Dracolich.

Only (1) not sure how many HD, and (2) does it count if I gallantly fell in round #1?

A Noghri Dark Jedi Master in WEG Star Wars.

It took both the party jedi and the wookie hand to hand master and supressive fire from a platoon of combat droids to get him to the point where we could eventually wear him down.

Orcus in AD&D 1e.

Of course we were in 8th Grade, so we might have been playing without all the right rules back then....

Non-monty haul campaign?

Gosh, that's a hard one.  Probably a pit fiend.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Anyone taking the dirt nap for the team counts in my eyes. It kept someone else from taking the damage.



Hmm... in my case. Can't count the teenage years playing D&D...

Would Nyarlathotep while confined to a human form (and thus not as powerful as his real one) count? How about if he basically regenerated in another dimension and then came back after a few in-game years? But he still had the scars showing his defeat!


As GM I've had a player kill a mid-size dragon once, and then with help killed it again when it came back as a Dracolich. In Age of Heroes that's quite an epic achievement.

Does a Warship count?

I had a fighter once that paddled a small boat out to intercept warships loaded with soldiers invading his homeland.

I survived arrow fire from the warship just long enough to set off the greek fire bomb against the hull of the ship, and it sank.

Not every day a commoner thugish fighter dies a hero to save his country!

That's nothing to the time I killed 4 Tarrasques in one day!

Nyarlathotep for me.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

Not sure. Notables include:

- Some kind of devil, at least higher-middle on the scale, I think.
- A Roc bird, admittedly we got really lucky with criticals.
- Several Type VI Demon (the Balrog-ripoffs), though we had some high-tech aid against some of them.
- A Scorpitron, a chrome-plated metal nightmare with mechanical claws and a 4d10 laser cannon no the tail.
- A minotaur that was allegedly impervious to all weapons except for a specific one (which we didn't have).
- UUARAM, a monstrous demigod-slug with poisonous spines, a defensive forcefield, acid, and IIRC some kind of sonic or beam-based attack.
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.

A 200,000 ton battlecruiser in Classic Traveller. We rammed it with a Subsidized Merchant Q-Ship at 160 kilometers per second.
