What is the funniest thing that happened to a friend (or yourself) in a campaign? I can’t wait to see what’s written and call out the 5 funniest I’ve seen so far. Also, I’d like it if you told me the truth and nothing but the truth, so don’t exaggerate or make up funny stories! Thanks in advance!
Well, if your including the "happened to a friend" category, a friend of mine played a character who was a creepy, mute little girl, who nonetheless managed to seduce a door into unlocking it by doing little finger-guns at it. The thought still makes me smile to this day.
I'm trying to think of a highlight reel for my own games, hmmmm...
1. I played a manticore man (Green Dragonborn stats) Assassin in a Greek Mythology game. There was a session where there was this huge thing with this satyr warning us to get a woman away from her husband, so my assassin used his diguise kit to look like a human and had the ranger stand outside and use Thuamaturgy or something to convince the lady that there was an omen from the gods. Then its turns out that the little satyr concocted the plan to pretty much get the women to be his wife, so we had to undo the whole prophecy thing. The kicker was that my assassin's human disguise apparently looked like Robert Z'Dar.
2. I was running Tyranny of Dragons. During the very first chapter, the party decide to kidnap one of the cultists in order to get close to Langderosa. The cultist ended up being dubbed "Jerry". Later on, during the Dragon Hatchery, they ran into Jerry again, as he was drunk in the storage room. They used him to initiate "Operation Human Shield", and managed to wipe the floor with the various cultist, as well as Mondath and Langderosa. Jerry eventually managed to escape eventually. Jerry became such a running gag as a person who gets dragged around and gets forced into being someone else's minion, that when it got later into the game when the party had a small army of minions (Hexblade with Finger of Death and Animate Dead, 'nuff said), that I titled the folder used to contain the minion character sheets "Jerrys". I'm playing Storm King's Thunder with same group. One of the players is an Alchemist Artificier, and before official Artficier came out and removed the homunculus from being part of the Alchemist subclass, I convinced the player to name the little thing...Jerry.
3. There's a lot of things in the Sunday game I'm playing. I think the most recent thingsoff the top of my head is that when my heard the news about what the group was going to have to deal with (vampire drow in league with the yuan-ti and my sorc's "creator"), she decided to get really drunk with her Young Brass Dragon friend. The sorc ended up waking up on top of her own tower.
My cousin attacked a chicken. The chicken turned giant and knocked him to 0 hp in one hit. Chicken walks away. Cousin's character wakes up 2 hours later with major concussion.

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
During a one-shot my barbarian was looking for a lever hidden in some old stone coffins. After a while, the barbarian gets annoyed and just decides to smash the next coffin open. This sets off a trap that makes the coffin explode which sends my barbarian flying backwards. The noise obviously catches another member's attention so they come to see what happened. I tell them I got tired of looking for the switch so smashed the coffin. I probably should have mentioned the exploding part because not even a moment after the member (a paladin) goes over to the last coffin to smash it open as well. This obviously sends him flying as well and lands him right where I had landed previously
DMing a campaign in which I put the party up against an Adult Red Dragon. On his first turn, the Sorcerer decides to use his action to call the dragon a "little turd". This Sorcerer took 74 damage from Fire Breath on the dragons turn.
I just started playing D&D and the DM has a strange sense of humor that emerges when we roll ones on skill checks.
My poor Gnome Rogue saw a lemonade stand when on a stakeout to look for whatever was killing off some guy's ogres. She also failed an arcana check on some runes and now the party thinks this new rogue is broken somehow since she keeps telling them there are lemons everywhere and utterly failing at lockpicking.
my friend found a goblin camp and decided to wipe it out after being knocked unconscious several times and being healed back into consciousness by the party cleric they finally finished the fight and my friend decided to cook up the goblins i kid you not he cooked up the rotten things in a stew and decided to sell them at a tavern he told the tavern owner that it was chicken and failed the deception check and was thrown out of the tavern my friend just waited out side the tavern selling the stuff to customers outside the tavern claiming that he worked for the tavern and was told to sell the stuff as samples for a new item to be put on the menu after three days almost half the town was bed ridden with a disease and the rest of the town attacked my friend and that was the end of the line for him
Had a friend-- who was already known for his *coughcough* decision making skills-- jump through a portal that opened up. Didn't ask what color, didn't take a peek through it, didn't consult with any other party members.
The DM took him aside, along with ALL the dice. They came back to the table, and he rolled up a new character sheet.
We never found out how he died exactly, but it was so on-brand for that character that we couldn't help laughing.
Also had an adventure where the reason we had to split the party was that we had a centaur who physically couldn't take one staircase in the dungeon.
I had one of my Chaotic Evil rogues intentionally ruin one of my party member's charisma checks. He was talking to a group of pig men trying to explain to them why we attacked one of their camps. They started to believe him, when a ballista landed on top of two of them. They all turned to see my character standing on top of the camp wall. My party member tried to say that I was not with him, when I screamed out saying that he did a good job distracting them for me.
DMIng a campaign(horde of the dragon queen). One of my players created a character who took a level on sorcerer(or warlock, idr). Anyway..this character was actually trained by another sorcerer but killed him by accident(spell gone wrong). Instead of burying the body, he takes on the identity of said sorcerer. It gets worse. He carries around the corpse in a large sack. He also uses it as a 2h weapon. One time he wanted to turn it into a projectile so another player cast a spell on it which turned it into a flying projectile for 1 action. Crit on the attack rol.
One of my players murdered, then resurrected another player in the body of a wanted criminal. That campaign was fun.
He started as a tiefling with fire resistance, but after he was resurrected, he was just a normal human. He kept running straight into fire, then immediatly remembering. He kept dying and getting resurrected in new bodies, and eventually became a sheep. Yes, a sheep. They were kinda desperate.
Enjoy! (I made this thread about a year and a half ago and it's got plenty of funny stories to go around. Don't read them all in one sitting)
oops i read this all in one sitting before reading this:)

This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?
quote from Romantically Apocalyptic byVitaly S Alexius
I had an owl familiar named Athena. Our paladin was being mean to my wolf companion named Doug (I was a ranger), so I warned him not to mess with Athena or Doug. He had no idea Athena was the owl and said that he praised Athena for her glory even though he is an atheist.
