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.

Does everyone know the thing from rpg.net in which Captain Spaulding was shot with a paintgun?

First session with a new group, his character got injured in the game, the GM pulled a paintball gun from under the table and shot him point blank in the chest with it, which unsurprisingly hurt like hell.  The GM explained that they did it to all new players, so they could feel how it felt to get injured.

I don't think he went back to play further with that group, but being British nor did he brutally kill them all as they so richly deserved.


I don't know what paintballs taste like, but I could find out from the guy who shot me with one at the gaming table.

Yes, I am.

I might, however, be an incredibly convincing 3D model. Anybody see a poly count?

I do martial arts pretty seriously.  He came within (literally) a few inches of getting his nose smeared all across his face by the elbow strike I fired off defensively.  It was hard to check that instinct mid-strike.

He does theory, and he is totally a thirty-eight dan black belt!

I once watched a roleplayer crash face first into a glass door because the glass was so clear he thought the whole door was open.

Luckily for him, the entire piece of glass came out of the door and fell in the opposite direction.  It was, perhaps, the most comical thing I've ever seen while roleplaying.

It didn't even break, we fixed it back up before we left that night.

That is my very favorite story from RPG.net, and I recount it to just about every roleplayer I meet at some point.

Is it wrong of me that the threads I find most interesting on rpg.net are the ones involving hilarious gaming horror stories?
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don't want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It's pretty chill so far.

I've yet to injure myself beyond a papercut or two, but a few months back someone shot a hole in the windscreen of my car as it was parked outside the GMs house during the session.

I remember that post :D
Part of his outrage wasnt just being shot, but the fact he was wearing a brand new and fairly expensive shirt. He didnt kill them all and take their stuff, but being British he did slap the GM's face with a leather glove and challenge the cad to a duel, before calling him an 'absolute shower, don'tcher know!" ;)
 
He was a regular in our monthly tabletop game until recently, and the first thing I said upon meeting him was to turn to the GM and say "Have you got the paintball gun?"

I put Serpent7's head thru a wall when he stole my lighter. I was trying to knock him onto the couch, but had a little too much adrenaline and momentum, so ended up knocking him over the couch.

I put Chad thru a door.

Strife tried to drown me in the fish pond.

Rosh punched me in the gut when I convinced him I'd killed Chad. I hadn't.

I got tired of players showing up without their books, asking me to borrow a book, THEN, when I was wasting my time getting a book for them, not even paying attention to me- so I would toss the book at their face. That usually got the point across not to ignore me when you asked me to do a favor for you. I stopped doing that when Ace said he'd beat me with the book if I threw another one at a player's head.

I chained Joey to the gaming table.

I shot at Malentendo's head with a crossbow. Missed by inches. This was after he put a crossbow bolt into my wall. After joking that I wasn't going to get my security deposit back on the apartment.

Strife brought a knife to the game. I poked another player in the stomach to see how sharp it was. Pretty sharp, it drew blood. He was a new player, he didn't come back.

When waking up from an all-night game, I went to wake up Ace, who wanted to sleep. I get pestering him to wake up. Finally, he grabbed an empty coke can near the couch and crushed it into my kneecap to incapacitate me.

When I licked Ace's bare back, he was startled, and caught me in the throat with his elbow.

Once Ace & I were wrestling and rolled across his knife collection, which was on the floor where he was cleaning it.

Once Ace shot an arrow from a bow indoors. It passed through 2 walls. Didn't hit anyone.

Once I threw a bag of fireworks onto Ace's bed to wake up Jason.

Once Ace set me on fire. He was surprised when I didn't try to put myself out, so he had to save me.

Ace & Serpent7 got into a fist fight, but I wasn't there to see it.

I got into a fight with a werewolf, but he was a friend. We weren't even mad at each other. I got a black eye. He was a martial artist with a fantastic amount of strength. The best part was going in to see my boss, so he could see the black eye and knew I wasn't making the story up just to get out of work, to tell him I wouldn't be in to work tonight.

Those are the most interesting ones.
