Roleplaying Hilarity
 
I'm quite certain all of us have had memorable incidents occur while roleplaying - either in an old-school Pen and Paper campaign, online or in one of those incomprehensible LARPs. :D

In the interest of general revelry and the glorification of insanity, shall we recount a few of those? I'll kick off.

Anyone who's played Exalted would be familiar with the basic Solar Charm 'Cascade of Cutting Terror'. To those who aren't, basically, the Solar throws a weapon, and that weapon becomes a shower of duplicates. Normally innocuous enough, yes?

Not when a player uses it with a cow as an improvised throwing weapon.

Cascade of One Hundred Flying Cows!

"Moooooooo!"

A friend of mine was desperate to hit something in the campaign I'm playing in (D&D 3.5). Thus, he went through an elaborate series of gestures with the d20, throwing in the air, behind his back, shaking it in his hands, etc, until he finally slams it down upon the table.

It was a 1.

I had a Bard in D&D named christopher walken used an orcish shotput. He had such Mad Diplomacy and Bluff ranks that it wasn't even funny. So one campaign I decided to take revenge on my DM who was always fair as long as it was in the rules. So after pulling off a Charm person and mad bluffing skills along with diplomacy on the main evil NPC's concubine i got her to stab him in the back with a dagger that cold do flesh to stone on a crit lucky for me it was then I bluffed me and my crews way out of the bad guys castle after borrowing a few items My DM (sorely Pissed mind you) decides to do something evil he sends over some freakin vampire and turns my best thief friend on my bard and has him stab me in the back with the same dagger. poetic justice. for the next character I used a boom mage from website that i thought was cool.

In DnD, My friend, playing as a CG Fey'ri rogue, is in the middle of the battle, and desides to transform his appearance into that of a demon and investigate the enemy ships which are saling to shore with a vast army to attack a besieged city we're supposed to attack. They accept him full heartedly, thinking of him as a comerade in arms. Previously, he'd deactivated a timed explosive device, which he then grabed and took with him. So he decides to place it on the enemy ship.

DM: You realize you have no chance in hell they won't spot this.
Friend: Roll the damn dice!
DM:*rolls* Holey sh*t!
Frnd: What?
DM: The officer looks around "Hmm... it seems that we have less explosives on our ship than before. In fact, we're so non-explosive, we have explosive's in their boats!"

Other great story was told to me, same people, but before I joined them, on another guy's first DnD session.

Town Guard [of good town, with a sizable garrison]: Who goes there! Identify yourself!
Seraph: I AM SERAPH! DARK PALADIN OF BANE! CHAMPION OF DARKNESS!

I don't have any DnD experience, but I can remember a couple of memorable incidents during a TWC rp. Ah yes, Soldier's of Light. I happened to be the only girl in this rp (who wasn't an NPC) and everyone was making comments about my hot assassin character. So, my char gets her ribs broken and one of the other people (who was half demon) was like "I'll help you." He wrote that he tried to wrap my ribs without getting a really good look at my naked torso and then exclaimed "don't kill me."

Another moment was during the same rp. We were in an airship and had to fight some airborn demons by flying on Rocs. I decided to be stupid and make my char afraid of heights, but get on a Roc anyways. So I'm thinking of a post to write when someone posts that a demon whizzes past my Roc and scares it. I wrote down the first thing that came to my mind: "Stop the ride, I wanna get off!" When I was finally rescued and on the airship, my char threw up all over the place. Mmmm..yummy.

Okay, this like happened to me two nights ago. My party has just come back from pretty much wiping all evil out of the Cormanthor Forrest. We are now all uber-powerful.

DM: Okay, well as you recount your tale to the villagers, several girls start grooping around you. Your getting pretty drunk by this time, so the end of the night is kinda fuzzy for you, but you all wake up next to a girl, except for Faldor [yours truely, with a charisma of 25] who wakes up next to three.
Losnei'e: Use rope check! *rolls a 1* Damnit!

In the campaign I'm playing in, we were trying to prove a preiestess was a slaver. The DM is playing the preistess (she's an NPC). The NPC says that she takes beggars off the streets, and for a small fee, puts them into service of nobles (fee paid to her by nobles). At the very end of the conversation, after all of our sense motive and bluff checks failed, the folowing was spoken:
Paladin: "Who was the last person you sold slaves to?"
NPC (DM): "Why, to Lord Billy, I sold 4 slaves just last month."
Wizard: "Hah! You just admited to selling slaves!"
DM: "...shit."

Good ol sense motive. Saved my life more times than i can count. For example one time this Drow NPC was giving us directions to a suppposed temple that we needed to find. Sense motive i roll a natural 20 with a +8 to boot, "so tell me where are we going again."
DM "fug, (ic) Why your going to the temple of my bride who is high preistess using several magical things who will enslave you and use you for dragon bait so she can have a mount that matches her red outfit.(oc) i friggin hate you..."
Me "thanks!!!"

Well there was the time our DM made us play in the infernal superbowl. If you went out of bounds random things would happen to you. from the demons casting spells on you. Well I get tackled out. and permanetly gain some hitpoints. I get back in bounds and our chaotic evil wizard throws a fireball at a demon and hits me in the splash damage. I survive by the number of hit points I just got.
