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.

Mr. Analytical

This is a thread for all those weird ideas that people have stuck in your campaigns.

For example,

In a fantasy game I played in once the GM decided to introduce gay clubs to a local port.  The gay club was populated by half-giants wearing arse-less chaps and handlebar moustaches and seeing as I was playing a fox one of them tried to drag me into a cublicle and rape me.

That was pretty fucking weird.

In another fantasy-ish game every human was born with an innate magical abbility.  My character had the abbility to take on the appearance of any other human but another of the characters had the power to give people the runs.  He'd use it is battle to make enemy NPCs shit themselves and thereby get negative modifiers when trying to fight.

That was pretty fucking weird too.

Initial reaction...(granted it's early). Not wierd. Stupid.

Not actually used it yet, but I was considering using the D&D Mob rules, for a horde of tiny zombies, from an insane necromancer that animated the corpses of dead babies.

That's as horrific as your avatar, which means it's pretty damn scary.

Done it already. It WORKS.

That is horrifying.... I'm going to steal it. Would make a great scene for my new and improved Blue Rose game.

Not sure if this is horrific or just creepy, but I had an NPC Nosferatu character in Vampire once than was basically a cat lady, so she had about 100+ ghouled cats, of all shapes and sizes.

Her appearance always use to be foreshadowed by the appearance of a cat, then another then three or four, until eventually she'ld arrive with a hoard of cats surrounding her weaving in between her legs as she approached, pushing a shopping trolley full of old cans for recycling.

Eventually the mention of a cat would put the players on edge.

She was inspired by walking round a pier one night where people often fish, and there were at least 30+ stray cats that just kept appearing from every nook and cranny.

I'd use aborted foetuses, 'cause I know my players wouldn't take it as a political statement.

Not really horrifying... well, unless I were to actually see it ;) ... but a very cool villian nonetheless.

Mr. Analytical

Yeah, my swiss group went through a weird gross-out phase that included such other gems as:

 -Having a bunch of old men buy the party a congratulatory drink at the end of the adventure only to drug the drinks and rape the party while they were unconscious (and people complain about CRPGs where villagers gouge the adventurers on equipment).

and

 - when captured by pirates the party were in the process of starving to death, one of the players offered to blow the entire ship's crew in return for some food.  He was fed and then proceded to give half the pirate ship head at which point he failed a CON roll, threw up and then ate his own vomit before going down on the rest of the ship.

Perhaps unsurprisingly both of these little mishaps originated from the same player (once as a GM and then as a player).

He's now married with kids so I guess his sexuality is above question :/

That was pretty much my reaction and I go out of my way to put myself through really harrowing and disgusting horror movies.  It was like opening the door to Arkham asylum...

I think I'd rather just roll up a new character than expose myself to those kinds of mental pictures. Ugh.

I had a child DeathKnight who used a scythe on a chain as a weapon. He marched hundreds of children into a circle around him, swung his chain around in a circle , cutting all their throats in one motion. Their blood poored out of their necks and into the earth, turning it to ash and creating a shadowland.
 
Not one to waste a good child corpse. He stretched them out and built them into a geiger-esque Abbyssal Manse. Brought to a semblance of life with essence, there were quite a few half exposed children crying tears of blood, with the occasional one screaming a burst of essence that collected at the center of the manse into a hearthstone. The hearthstone looked like a chrystalized swirl of ichor and bile.
