7. "RE: Shenanigans of the Pen and Paper Variety"
In response to message #0
 
   I have a couple. The first was back in high school, I played in a D&D campaign where for some reason the DM had allowed one of players (who was a bit of a troll, in modern parlance) to play a chaotic evil pegataur (winged centaur). During the second or third session, we were sneaking through a cavern full of piercers while the other player and I were jawing (I was trolling him back for something, IIRC) and he got annoyed, so he had his character shoot my character with an arrow, which hit. At which point I looked at the GM with cold eyes and deadpanned, "I scream in agony." Now I had finished sneaking across the cavern with the rest of the party and was near the exit, while his character was still in the middle (big winged horse don't sneak so fast). The end result was a very impaled pegataur and the player rolling up a new character. I still to this day relish the look of horror on his face when he realized what I did when my character screamed. Plus, the GM gave me 100 XP on the spot for good roleplaying! :D

The other time was my first trip to GenCon, when I played in a 3-part GURPS Traveller adventure (I was helping the GM, both by assisting other players and by running any additional PCs that were needed to fill out the party). In the one of the first two sessions (don't remember which came first) I played a con artist/thief (IIRC, I can't remember the exact details anymore) who was trying to get away with some priceless artifact (again, IIRC), and in the other I played a couple of soldiers who were either raiding or defending the dig site, including one who was a sniper. In the third session my sniper got to drill my thief character in the head while I was playing both of them at the same time...

(That was also the con where Phantom nearly got crushed by a 6-8 foot D20 :D)
