Re: Your, best WTF moment in gaming.
I have to say my WTF gaming moment of the greatest possible magnitude was reading about the mature, no-nonsense practical sophomore girl I had I gamed with my freshman year who had gone on to put a Dr in front of her name (large animal vet), risen to the top of a worldwide gaming fandom, and then had the stones to use the fanclub's budget to sue the publisher for control of some of their intellectual property when she didn't agree with the direction they were taking. Talk about trying to Dominate your sire!
About once a year I google her to see if she's tried to take one of 4H's H's home with her. |

Re: Your, best WTF moment in gaming.
We were in front of a heavily warded door, with many magical traps, we had no rogue types in our party (D&D), but we had a druid, and he had a brilliant ideas.
Im gonna summon a gorilla to open the door, we spent whole minutes laughing and wondering if it would be against his druidic ways in someway, in the end the gorilla exploded on touching the door tho. |

Re: Your, best WTF moment in gaming.
We were a high-level AD&D1e party, and a druid had decided to come down the dungeon to see what she could do. And she decided to open a door with Turn Wood, a spell that sets all inanimate wooden objects moving inexorably away over a wide front - the classical use is to repel siege towers in large quantity.
We had no idea that the room beyond the door was lined with wooden bookcases, although there was rather a lot of noise after the spell went off. The inhabitant was some kind of demonologist, who'd noted our presence and started summoning something horrible to chase us away. But his own bookcases swept him out of his protective symbols to where the thing he was summoning could chow down on him, then crushed his corpse against the opposite wall. |

Re: Your, best WTF moment in gaming.
I've told this story elsewhere but it seems to fit here as well. Looking back at the logs, I seem to have nonplussed my fellow players -- so perhaps it was a WTF moment for them.
My character was a citified, bookish, and quite rigid lawyer wizard -- Fraternity of Order, if you know the setting. Good kid, very obedient, air genasi. Desperately wanted to earn a place in the djinn society of his grandfather. He didn't date much, so his family betrothed him, which he was quite happy with. Until he met his intended's guard captain, and they decided to elope (the intended approved). This would be slightly less weird if said guard captain was humanoid, but instead we have the glorious image of a thin-of-arm, blue-skinned, slim young humanoid wizard, in a mutually adoring marriage with a brawling, swordswinging, woodcrafty ranger centauress. They're thinking about kids. He's been seen with a copy of Hadid the Life-Wielder's "Improving the Handiwork of the Gods: On the Generation and Care of Hybrids, Chimeras, and Crossbreeds." |

Re: Your, best WTF moment in gaming.
Yesterday's session:
The PCs had captured some bandits and wanted to sell them as slaves. That wasn't the WTF moment. After all, this was Dark Sun and the bandits had captured some villagers and planned to sell them as slaves. The WTF moment occurred during the trip to the next lager town. One of the PCs, secretly a preserver mage, beat the prisoners with a club and withheld food and water privileges until they answered every question with "yes, master" or "no, master". During the whole procedure he kept smiling and always had calm and pleasant tone in his voice... Wasn't really disruptive to the game, but it was unexpected.

Re: Your, best WTF moment in gaming.
It shouldn't be that easy to destroy the universe, or else some death cults would have done that already.
