What the most rock-bottom, piss poor decisions you have ever witnessed at the table?

Hard Mode: It's a strictly in-game decision
Nightmare Mode: The game died because of it.

>Paladin decides that the fleeing rogue PC MUST be apprehended to convince the group the party is pretending to be a part of that they are genuine even though the rogue has a +15 to swim and hide and he's running away in a misty swamp.

There's a really long greentext to this but I don't want to type it up if the thread only gets like 4 people.

Our party had a couple dwarves after a raid and they wanted ale. So they sent one into the flame-engulfed bar to get some cups. He ran in and raged, getting the cups, setting himself on fire, and burning his beard off. He is now known as Squirrelbeard because we replaced his beard with a squirrel's tail.

Two instances I can recall, a player caused basically an Illiad by eloping with someone.

The other, the player basically created the Skaven and ruined the world and the game, it turned post apoc after that.

>>52414508
Let's talk things over with the fallen paladin! Sure, a social roll gere and there is one thing, but they didn't even give up after black lightning fell upon him and tainted his armor. Also, for whatever reason, someone put the unidentified magic necklace upon him while he was held down (by the warlock, whose very touch allowed the paladin to make a deal for power). Anyway, the necklace was a powerful item for free flight and elemental attacks, once the party collected the 2 nearby world-saving items. They had no idea what the necklace was, yet they gave it to the guy being molded into the new villain. What was a fairly minor encounter NPC turned into the BBEG.

I've got Nightmare Mode covered. One player decided his character would, at the literal END of the campaign (like, I, the DM, was about to go to epilogue and asked for final actions), murder another character over a relatively minor in-character slight. It caused a large argument, ended the two players friendship, and forced the game to end without a conclusion as one player refused to continue with the combat.

It was a year and a half long campaign and ended in PC-on-PC violence that killed a multi-year friendship. Worst ending to a campaign I've ever seen that didn't involve the police.

We had a mage, he conned us into committing mass murder via bombs disguised as Beer Kegs.
One of the other characters knew what was happening, didn't warn us because "I'm LE."

All of this, was ostensibly to save the world, by hijacking a ritual the BBEG was secretly prepping. What it instead did was kickstart it. So while the Mage had conned his way into a great big level up the rest of us were level 2 or something. The BBEG was level 15.

We died, BBEG survived and turned into the damn Tarrasque and thus the world was doomed.

We were playing a relatively lighthearted game about kids investigating paranormal activities as part of a school club.

At one point the players discovered that one of their classmates was a witch and was going to summon a bunch of ghosts to possess the faculty and popular kids, so we needed to clear out the building in order to confront her in alone

Instead of like, pulling the fire alarm like a normal fucking kid one of our players decided to call in a bomb threat.

Oh, that's nothing exciting. I had a player arrested once during session for dealing coke. No one else knew about it, not even his druggie girlfriend (she was just a pot junkie). I can greentext it real fast, though it isn't exciting.

We moved on. I think it was a party wipe after that since Church was playing a tank character of some kind. It's been like 9 years though, I might be misremembering.

Playing Horde of the Dragon Queen. So potential spoilers

The party arrives at the castle at night, there's fog everywhere, the Vampires come and attack. They manage to fend off the vampires by using the spear they found to create orbs of sunlight. One of the party decides to grapple one of the vampires and throw it into the mini sun orb to kill it. She succeeds.

So later on, after having searched the castle and fought a few ogres, they come across the ruined tower. The rogue offers to climb it, givent hat she has wicked high Dex. The Monk also wants a crack, the rest stay behind. I decide on two rolls to get up the tower given that its tall. Both pass the first roll, both fail the second. The rogue takes fall damage, the monk says "I have featherfall as an ability" or words to that effect. The entire party asks why the hell he let the rogue climb too then given that he can't fucking fail. So he tries again and I allow it, saying that he took the time to do it slowly given, again that he can't fail the task really. So I say he gets to the top just as the sun is setting. He see's 3 coffins arranged in the room beyond the balcony
"Okay"
The sun has very almost set
"Okay...erm"
The sun has set
"Okay...erm"
The coffin lids start to move
"Okay..erm"
A vampire leaps out
"OH SHIT"
Proceeds to try and take it mano a mano and dies instead of jumping off the edge and getting help from the rest of the party who are unable to get up there and help.

His character he rolled for the very next session also died because he tried to one on one a hill giant at 7th level. He got salty about that.

A party of three had successfully managed to sneak around back of this hideout full of baddies. There was a 15' wall that could be scaled, or a locked door that could be lock-picked or broken down. For whatever reason I'll never understand, the Elf Fighter decides, "We're not going in through this way, let's split the party and try to bluff our way through the kitchen entrance instead."

So the Elf Fighter and the Half-Elf Druid dressed up like bad guys and walked right in through the kitchen. (Meanwhile, the Kenku Ranger is waiting outside.) A mook takes one look at the Fighter and Druid and goes, "Where did you find those weapons?". The Elf replies, "Um, we killed some intruders and took their weapons." The Deception roll succeeds, so the mook replies,

"Then you might want to take them to the boss, right?"

Long story short: Nearly had a TPK. The Elf Fighter turned over his weapons and shield to the Bad Guy Boss. Then the Fighter and Druid's cover got blown and the entire base of bad guys swarmed them. The other two in the party barely managed to escape. The Elf Fighter was captured and the character is essentially decommissioned because he's being tortured off-screen.

I still have no idea why the Elf Fighter thought that was a good plan, and why no one else even tried to speak up against it... Oh well, sometimes ya gotta learn the hard way.

There's this one player who, due to time zones, goes from 10pm to 3am regularly for sessions. And he gets a bit cranky once he's tired and it shows. He always apologizes afterwards but it's been a bit annoying.

It doesn't really come across in the post, but I did give him time to react.

I wanted to press upon him that he couldn't spend time faffing. Some decisions have to be made quickly. But to be fair, I was hinting so fucking hard that the vampires were going to come that it was his own damn fault.

This too place over the course of about 2 or 3 minutes with me giving 30 or 40 second pauses between each statement, which might not sound like much, but try waiting for 30 seconds just to see how much time it gives you. It'll surprise you.

In a completely stress free non rushed situation one player walked through what is best described as the death gate from Harry Potter 5 that killed Sirius. He was told multiple times by the DM that he would die and his charachter would be permenantly dead. There was nothing on the other side. There was no elaborate challenge. No one even told him to do it. It was just there as a set piece (we don't even remember why it is just this event that made it memorable). Still he walked through, no rolls he just died.

Ok so we were playing dark heresy and were on a desert forge world dealing with tech bandits or some shit. It was super mad max. We were in like a truck and were chasing down a bunch of these desert tech cultists or whatever and they had a big fuel truck and some technicals and bikes etc.

So it's me who's a Psyker, an arbites, a skitari, a preacher, and a scum. The scum is driving. I'm leaning out the back using minor telekinesis to fuck with our pursuer's steering wheels, crashing bikes together, starting open flames by their engines etc everything is fine. Eventually our skitari and arbite take out the wheels on the big rig and it slows down as it pops a flat.

All of us but the skitari and the scum dismount and board the rig, with the preacher and I lead in the way, him with a war hammer and me following up with a shotgun and telekinesis. The arbiter doesn't board but does lay down some suppression.

The scum backs up the jeep over a fine. We wonder where he went. I jump overboard, we have cleared out the rig and taken captives. Time for the preacher and the cop to start interrogations. We hear honking and look up. The scum fucking runs me over and slams into the rig, he bails out about a hundred metres back and presses his thumb on a detonator, blowing up the jeep which he has just driven into a fuel rig. It blows up. I die twice. Preacher is dead. Hostages are dead. Arbiter is injured critically. Skitari, I don't know.

"Hurrr I thought you guys needed a hand clearing out those cultists."

We had literally finished the job. The plot then hit a dead end and we never ran another session.

But then I don't tend to play with people who are that autistic. I have done with some on the spectrum, sure, but they at least know how to conduct themselves within social situations to some degree

The girl in our group's female character regularly gets referred to fairly dergoatorily and she also seems to get kidnapped quite frequently.

Nothing ever really comes of it but it's still worthy of note.

Yeah I've played in groups like that, where all the blokes are clearly hungry for the one girl sat around the table, and the plot seems to take it that way.

I'm no ardent feminist, but I have been around tables that would make even your most tame feminist say "See! This is what I'm talking about!"

This is what you get for playing a game that attracts those on the fringes of social interaction I guess...

You're predisposed to direct sperg radiation because you have a vagina. Sorry.
Just have the guts to put your foot down or outright leave if things become unacceptable.
>>
>>52419075
If they are shits, don't play with them.

I've played games with turbo spergs, and I've played games with people who are legitimately fucking cooler than cool. cooler than two fonzies strapped together with snakes. Most lie in between.

Never put up with shitty players around a table because they're all you've got. There will be no doubt countless groups looking for new players, many of which without knobs in them.

I completely get where you're coming from anon but it's not quite like that.

>girl
English posh girl. Married to one of our players. We have been playing together for years. She has a nice side (she's lovely) but...
We are quite aware that she and other player have a very...non traditional relationship in some respects.
>her character
A turbo bitch witch elf with a penchant for tearing out jugulars with her teeth.

Every so often an NPC will "gosh she's got breeding hips!" And be referring to a horse behind her
Or "look at them melons!" Referring to two large fruits on a stall.

The party have learnt to grab her at these points but it's still very funny.

Also our BBEGs have a kinda habit of trying to kidnap her to use err... Um...breeding an army of supersoldiers.

She's weirdly ok with being rescued like a princess every so often.

>>
>>52419303
The cringe factor is real
>>
>>52419359
From the outside it rather is I guess but it didn't really start out that way just lots of little in jokes and things.

For example the melons thing started not long after [plot reasons] aliens took over her mind and abducted her for a bit in a sort of Species 2 way. She's also just one of those people that are fun to get a rise out of.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is you'll be fine.
>>
>>52419303
I feel like there's a different dynamic to it when it's the DM's doing versus another player's, but maybe I'm just strange in that regard.

Either way, the DM seems pretty chill, and from the sound of it, he's dissatisfied with the pair already. Could just end with them getting booted.
>>

>>52419414

At least one other player in anon's group appears to be fucking her so that probably explains the dynamic at least a bit

My missus has been part of my D&D group since before we were even an item and no time that I can think of with the numerous players that we've had have we ever treated her as any more or any less than another player around the table, much less the butt of jokes because she happens to own a vagina.

Maybe they work for you, and that's fine but one shouldn't assume that a girl would "love the attention" because they're the female of the group.
>>
>>52419440
We're all old friends and have been playing together for about ten years.

I guess it just kinda works. We also kinda like them being a couple. I'm sorry it really isn't as weird as I'm making it out here.
>>
>>52419477
Not to make an ill assumption of someone I don't know, but it sounds like its working for that group because the girl in question really does like the attention and the players like giving it to her
>>
>>52419465
She's just heavily into bondage and our Dorf player just happens to really enjoy tying her up a lot. It gets kind of hard to tell where her horse tackle ends and their toys begin sometimes.

Dorf being her husband.

>>52419477
It's never really been an issue. She's a respected role player but also completely mental so it works for us. Believe me if she wasn't happy about it she would let us know.

I'd hate for one of my players real personalities and sexual preferences to come out in a ROLE PLAYING game.

Imagine sitting around a table and everything comes back to how great it is X is trans or Y is gay or Z loves fucking anything that moves. All fun I'm sure, but you'll understand if it's not for me or most players of the game to autisticly sperg over the fact they have a woman round the table who is ok with blokes being lecherous fucks.

If it works for you, that's cool. Don't treat it as a norm.

I feel like "She's female, and she likes it, so maybe you'll like it too" is kind of a crappy argument when I just mentioned distaste for that kind of behavior.

This is why women are fucking scared to step up to the table. Because someone always has to turn it into a magical realm instead of just playing a normal game. Really surprised people cant just hide the inner sperg for a few hours once a week sit down down and play a game.

Because some people actually genuinely find it hard to attract a member of the female sex and therefore treat every new female as a potential girlfriend as opposed to a person first. I've seen it countless times.

The druid decided to offer sex with the fighter to an old lizardwoman shaman lady, in return for the recipe of a cure to the disease that plagued her hometown.
The fighter rolled a 20 on his charisma check, so she accepted, but not before making them go on a quest for a magical mcguffin. The last session ended before they finished that dungeon.

Post Apoc campaign
We were travelling and came to an seemingly abandoned shed. Seemingly because at it was a gigantic fucking dog
We were a group of 4 PCs and 2 NPCs so me (medic) and another PC (mechanic) stayed there with some fire to keep the dog away while the rest searched the house
For some dumb reason the mechanic got the wish to tame the dog. What does he do? Reaches out to it
First time he managed to pull his hand back fast enough.
Then he tried again.

The only female is my group isn't precisely thirsty but...

So she walks around nude all the time, or damn near with very little clothing and whatnot. She has these one-way pheromones that make men lust after her, plays an abhuman in 40k meaning her character by birth has no rights ontop of all that. She's very sexual and rape-happy and all that nonsense and it gets irritating going to noble balls and such and oh here comes the nude catgirl behind us.

OK now that's magical realm.

Reminds me of one of my players.

Every single game he plays a 13-14 year old boy who dresses like a cat girl. Shadowrun? Eh, sure, i guess thats fine. DnD? Really pushing it here man. Deadlands? Just straight what the fuck?

Also, he always takes knowledge skill points in sex. Like, his Shadowrun character spent 6 knowledge points in Sexual education - Logic. His deadlands character has Knowledge Sex 5.

Everyone in the group is constantly appalled by it. But I figured, ok, sure, you want that, go with it.

>Shadowrun 5th
>Party tasked with getting a local aspirin supplier shut down cause X corp wants to open a new plant.
>Party spends a whole session making a plan (rather good one too) and at start of next session they implement it.

Since I'm GM, I just create little railway tracks around him being able to use these skills inappropriately. Saddest fucking part? Whenever I do leave something he could legit use the skills for he specifically doesn't use them.

He's a fine enough guy when we're not playing tabletop games.

Though mostly cause he lives here and he gets super pissy about not being invited. I wish he didn't owe me 5 months of rent cause i know if i kicked him out he ain't never gonna pay me.

Pro tip: Don't be a good person and offer a friend a place to stay while he looks for a job, saying you will let him pay you later once he's working.
>>
>>52420068
Same thing happened with me. Thing is, it was a dead werewolf. So he turned once and figured, now I'm a werewolf. But I figured since he pierced himself with a dead werewolf's fang, the curse would only work once. So they joined an anarchist's coup about a dozen sessions later and the key to their plan was doing it on the full moon so he would turn into a werewolf and tear the city council to pieces, and since you could only kill werewolves with silver, he would be all but immune to their attacks.

So they get to the top level, looking down on the city, other character shoots the guards, and they wait for him to turn. And wait. And wait. Then realize it's not gonna happen, and they get attacked. They still won but it was a much closer battle.

Ok. Got a good one. This is from Lost Mines of Phandelver. So spoilers if you are playing it.

So, it is in the goblin cave (which they skipped initially). The party is making a great effort to be discreet and methodical in their assault, dealing with their obstacles in a very clean manner. The dragonborn rogue climbs up the gravel pit that leads to the natural chimney and scout ahead. While the others are laying out their battle plans and movement, the player in-character lets out an audible "Ha." Into Klarg's Quarters. All of the units in that room noticed him and sounded the alarms. The party was pissed. All that planning down the drain.

Here are a couple that stick out the most from an RPG based on the Pathfinder card game:

>Party confronted with angry mob of townsfolk
>The paladin (me) reminds them not to kill anyone and use non-lethal attacks since they're civilians
>wizard casts "non-lethal" acid spray on the crowd

>Party exploring underground temple that has a lead to the boss of the session
>Party meets a really sketchy water goddess person who asks for them to take a bath with her in a pool.
>3/4 party members do so
>1 straight-up dies and the other two get their souls offered to the evil god of the setting
>>
>>52425182
>one insane train wreck after another.
Honestly, I'm at the point where I expect the campaign to generally be a trash fire

I'm in a group with one guy that never pays attention to anything and has fucked up royally in every one of our campaigns in some way.

>we need to do sacrifice to a spider god or die

>he begins the sacrifice with "Oh giant spider, accept this sacrifice of the undead"
>spider god gets angry at our ruse and we survive exclusively due to dumb luck

Well, the game would've died regardless of his actions, albeit on a more positive note, so it's not really Nightmare Mode.

>And then the two others begin hurling grenades and firing their machine pistols into the crowd
I'd compare it to the end of Inglorious Basterds, but none of the victims were Nazis. The party massacred like 20 people, the target escaped, and half of their underground contacts won't return their calls.

And how was that even an option when you gave the boss (with hitherto unknown abilities) a cutscene power to wipe it out? Having no choice means that there is zero guilt trip potential unless your players are gullible idiots.

Player had their cohort character demolish a raided museum on the grounds that some of the now-destroyed artifacts held there that we had brought there in the first place could potentially be used for ill if repaired. It caused a schism that eventually led to in-fighting, accusations of disloyalty, NPCs leaving the party, and a lot of other bullshit until our GM couldn't find fun with the campaign anymore.

>Diviner divines that it's one of a set, he can't tell how many, and that with the right attunement, someone with one of the stones can tell the location of all the other stones.
>They pay the guy, put it back in their packs, leave
>Roughly once every other day after that, they get attacked by seriously nasty assassins.
>Like, characters dying in most of these fights and needing to be raised afterwards encounters.

>Doesn't work.

Man, you'd think a poison expert would have just thought to nick someone while they were trudging through all the piss and shit.

Presumably "falls sick and dies about a decade after producing an heiress" means "had a child in her early twenties, then poisons herself and transfers her soul when she starts to feel her age", not "have a child at ten and then immediately die".

Just...

It was supposed to be a recurring trap from enemies and booby-traps with suggestions/domination abilities throughout the dungeon who would tell players and NPCs to go get them 'that really sweet sword'.

It killed a player without outside intervention inside of a minute of me introducing it.

(The player evidently thought I was bluffing/it was an illusion of some sort)

The party was in a twisted carnival realm where we were told to kill gnomes to gather keys to escape.
We had a lawful good paladin who refused and told the group not to kill the gnomes.
The rest of the party said fuck you and tried to kill the paladin, the paladin retaliated (my rogue l stayed out of the fight deciding to listen to whomever won the fight)
Paladin singlehandedly killed the rest of the party because they refused to stop trying to kill the gnome, he offered them to surrender and leave it alone, they refused and attacked him again.
Turns out the key was just sitting in the gnomes hat.
(The gnome couldn't speak as it's tongue was cut out or something and was tied up to avoid them trying to point at the hat)
We didn't continue that campaign after that.

Just to note there were 5 party members and 1 DAM we are all great friends and just moved to a different campaign someone else was planning.

This was a 1k game at a tournament. Against a mid twenties guy. He complained to his mother to make a fuss with the judge because 'You can't win until turn 6.'

I've never won so easily in my life before or since.
