Craziest (Real!) place you've played in or at.
Mine's probably quite boring but I've played in the woods , in daylight that's it. But I bet some of you Gurps fans have played in some odd places with some other strange people.
U boat Submarine ? , top of the alps , mortuary! , what's the craziest oddest place you've rpg'ed in? |

Back of a 15 passenger van with family on a road trip. That's as exotic as it gets.

Out in the desert waiting to roll into Iraq during Desert Storm and afterwards when we had a chunk of down time as well. We had a GURPS basic 3e and since we kept losing the dice, often the GM would just "decide" what you rolled or we would play odds/even or draw number cards from a regular deck. Ace was 14, 2 was 15 and the three off color face cards were 16, 17, 18.
That book was so covered in 100mph tape, I'm fairly sure it had value as a ballistic shield |

Re: Craziest (Real!) place you've played in or at.
A jungle, a park late at night in a small town, and the beach are the most exotic places I have played.
Books hate damp places, I have put mine to some terrible use in my younger years. Where I live is so damp that even playing in a porch make the pages all wavy... Imagine how it was in a jungle. But it was great experience, it was a Banestorm adventure, in the Ring Islands, the place was perfect for the mood. The park one was a Cyberpunk 2020 game, we where being too noisy and had to go outside to the park to play to not bother the neighbors. The game in the beach was also Banestorm but nothing related to beaches, it just happen we where at the beach. |

I've enjoyed some great RPG sessions in weird spots over the years:

We never actually played when we were on the sub, but I was running a GURPS campaign for a couple of guys on the boat and we talked about it a lot while we were on board.
(Amusingly, I was stationed on the USS City of Corpus Christi. The Last Submarine.) |

Hmm. Wonder if the USS North Carolina would allow sessions...

Re: Craziest (Real!) place you've played in or at.
I dimly recall someone on these forums, or perhaps the older Pyramid boards, who played regularly on a naval ship. It sounded pretty cool!

Moved to Roleplaying in General as it does not seem appropriate for the GURPS subforum. Additionally, it is probably content better suited to a personal blog, but I'll let this continue for the time being. </Moderator>

Re: Craziest (Real!) place you've played in or at.
It wasn't GURPS but we played a game on a bird sanctuary. I brought a game to play with a friend when we went to a canoe camp together. Our troop got caught in a current and had to take refuge on a Federally protected bird sanctuary for 48 hours, just a tiny island in the channel that maybe only a dozen other humans had set foot on. We were hiding under a tarp in a downpour playing TMNT all night.
