@EveOnlineTutorials always manages to get himself into some sort of trouble on this occasion it was very early in the campaign, we still in the tavern we were starting off in and in his haste to try prevent the barkeep from alerting the town guards of his presence (he was wanted) he rolled a nat 1 so slipped up on spilt ale and ended up hitting his head and knocked himself out.

it's just one of his misfortunes that was funny so I probably won't forget it anytime soon

Not sure if this counts as its from a channel on YouTube call Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra

The oxventurers guild as they are known, came to a village that is falling appart and in need of repair. They eventually come accross a tomb and find a cursed hammer . Once they decide who will own said hammer they find it can conjure a huge group of skeletons that were previously tradesmen.

So they get started on the village by making the skeletons build a tavern and indoing so they rip down an orphanage to use the materials (monkeys paw syle curse).

They start clocking on to it but in a moment of confusion the hammer owner just says "I want you to build an orphanage".

And they do, a great one, with a rec room, pool table etc but the dm mentions the use of an odd red morter...

The chaotic good aligned bard hammer owner askes the skeletons nervously if they used orphans to which the Immortal words were said...

"Its orphans boss"

They had build a great orphanage but had....processed the intended inhabitants into building morter.

This has been a constant running joke for 7 year that the life loving, upbeat bard has the highest body count purely because of this incident.

They also had to return to the village years later where they found it fortified with the parties mug shots on wanted posteres everywhere.

Heres a link if you would like to witness it for yourself.

My favourite D&D memory is a weird one considering it's watching other people play, TV Characters!

In the bing bang theory howard leonard sheldon and raj play dungeons and dragons and I love how immersed they got into the game, I believe one of their dungeons they were exploring had a boss which was defending the loot. It was Santa Claus, however when Sheldon was playing the game normally he went on an absolute spiral which nobody was expecting to hear! The spiral involved violently attacking Santa Claus in D&D and doing everything he could to hurt him. It was interesting to see the character get so immersively involved and lose his emotions in the game

The frustration stems from Sheldon losing his grandmother as a child and asking Santa for his mother back for Xmas, which obviously he never got. It really opened some very good dialogue for further character development, all stemming from Dungeons & Dragons!

It was my first D&D session, apart from the DM we were all newbies so had no idea how most of the abilities worked. When we met a bunch of bandits just outside of a bar, one of the players said "I'm skilled in bar fight.... I would drag them into the bar and give them a proper beating there."

There was silence, then laughter, then them DM said "fine... anyone put any points on bondage?"

Our rouge did... but no one had any rope... so we had to beat the bandits up outside the bar :D

Its essentially the same game but thoughout the whole pandemic a group of us played Star Wars roleplaying game called edge of the empire. It shares almost the exact same rulesset as d and d but ith slightly different mechanics. And if your thinking its a much simpler game and les lore than regular d and d then you are wrong.

What made it so special is that is kept us all sane throughout the pandemic and we were able to play an intricate campaign that lasted years. and it dint matter that we couldnt meetin person which meant we were able to play on week night over zoom. it also allowed us to make use of media such as maps and videos and music.

i would very much like to play this game again.
