Have your games ever gotten surreal or creepy?

>Surreal
Once, one of the PCs was having a half-spirit journey, half-acid trip. During one of the sequences, I described him standing in a perfectly square room with stars shining in all five corners.
I then gave him a sanity check when he brought up the inconsistency.

Yes

Oh it's gonna.
First session tomorrow is probably going to go straight into Lovecraft's asshole pretty quickly.

Badass.

You remember that episode of the Simpsons where they are making a Radioactive Man film and Milhouse hides in the treehouse and bart looks in each corner of it and there were 5 corners in that square treehouse?

You remember how all those children watching it had to be sent to specialist because it broke their fragile little minds? No of course you don't because that's fucking stupid.

Experiencing it in "real life" in the case of the character is different than watching it on a cartoon.

Imagine if he saw someone get ran over by a steam roller, flattened out, then they blow on their thumb and reinflate themselves. Perfectly normal and expected defiance of physics. If you witness that same thing in real life.

In either case a sanity check should be warranted, but I would allow them a bonus to pass as a reward for listening and pointing out the inconsistency.

Because seeing something weird makes you question the very fundamental nature of reality, truth and mortality to a degree that it breaks your brain.

Oh wait, no it doesn't. It freaks you out for a few moments and then you think it's a prank.

Prank =/= Impossible event outside the laws of physics

>Everyone who goes to see a magician performance needs a canvas jacket afterwards.

I played drunken Maid with my group when we couldn't do a normal session, once.
It got creepy as fuck.

If you pass your SAN check, sure.

>Seeing a magician you know is fake is equivalent to seeing things you know cannot exist, but does

>>55015754
Only when horror was our goal.

I suppose this is why they ban them from kids parties.

Not really. You'd just recognize it as an illusion of some sort.

Nah, not really

>instead of suspecting you're hallusinating, seeing an illusion or elaborate prank, you immediately start to question the nature of reality
