SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: soltakss;947476I've got a Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! page on my website giving some examples of this.

My favourite has to be in the Tower of Lead, a Gloranthan tower full of Vampires. One PC went in and saw a hole in the wall, so he looked in only to see a basilisk staring at him, which killed him and he had to use Divine Intervention to come back. He was not happy. From that point on he was paranoid about looking into holes or around corners, in case the same thing happened again, so he used a little mirror on the end of a stick to check things out. The party came to a door with a small grill in and he used his mirror on the pole to check in the room, all he could see was a large throne room with a dias with three empty thrones. Feeling safe, he proceeded to check the door to see if it was locked, it wasn't, then was about to open the door and charge in, as there must be something valuable around the thrones. Then he saw me giggling away hysterically and thought there might be something wrong with this picture. Someone else peered through the small grill and saw a vampire on each throne and about a dozen vampires in the room.
If only I could have controlled my giggles ...

I'm sympathetic since I can see myself making this particular goof in the heat on the moment. Where the characters aware the place was inhabited by vampires?
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

 An evil DM would have made them vampires with pet basilisks. :eek::cool:

Oh, yes. They spent 4 years avoiding the place, then thought that the vampires had threatened them (they hadn't) and decided to take them down.

The basilisk was in one of the rooms in the Tower of Lead and was a familiar of the Vampire Queen, so she knew the PCs were around, she just didn't consider them enough of a threat to bother with personally, but called her lieutenants to a war council, just in case, hence the congregation in the throneroom.
