RPG horror stories:
I had a guy and his just new girlfriend play in a group and it de-evolved into a fight between the two because she wouldn't sleep with him when they reached the inn. She was all "We discussed this before" and he's "It's only a game, not real!".

LoLth

LoL! Some of those are classic. I found this one a while ago, posted by a DM to a DnD mailing list. Just thought I'd throw it here for a laugh

Many years ago (back when we all were still playing D & D), I ran a game where I pitted two groups against each other.
Several members of Group One came up with the idea of luring Group Two into a trap. You remember the Hand of Vecna and the Eye of Vecna that were artifacts in the old D&D world where if you cut off your hand (or your eye) and replaced it with the Hand of Vecna (or the Eye) you'd get new awesome powers? Well, Group One thought up The Head of Vecna.

Group One spread rumors all over the countryside (even paying Bards to spread the word about this artifact rumored to exist nearby). They even went so far as to get a real head and place it under some weak traps to help with the illusion. Unfortunately, they forgot to let ALL the members of their group in on the secret plan (I suspect it was because they didn't want the Druid to get caught and tell the enemy about this trap of theirs, or maybe because they didn't want him messing with things).

The Druid in group One heard about this new artifact and went off in search of it himself (I believe to help prove himself to the party members...) Well, after much trial and tribulation, he found it; deactivated (or set off) all the traps; and took his "prize" off into the woods for examination. He discovered that it did not radiate magic (a well known trait of artifacts) and smiled gleefully.

I wasn't really worried since he was alone and I knew that there was no way he could CUT HIS OWN HEAD OFF. Alas I was mistaken as the Druid promptly summoned some carnivorous apes and instructed them to use his own scimitar and cut his head off (and of course quickly replacing it with the Head of Vecna...)

Some time later, Group one decided to find the Druid and to check on the trap. They found the headless body (and the two heads) and realized that they had erred in their plan (besides laughing at the character who had played the Druid)...The Head of Vecna still had BOTH eyes! They corrected this mistake and reset their traps and the Head for it's real intended victims...

Group Two, by this time, had heard of the powerful artifact and decided that it bore investigating since, if true, they could use it to destroy Group One. After much trial and tribulation, they found the resting place of The Head of Vecna! The were particularly impressed with the cunning traps surrounding the site (one almost missed his save against the weakest poison known to man). They recovered the Head and made off to a safe area.

Group Two actually CAME TO BLOWS (several rounds of fighting) against each other argueing over WHO WOULD GET THEIR HEAD CUT OFF! Several greedy players had to be hurt and restrained before it was decided who would be the recipient of the great powers bestowed by the Head... The magician was selected and one of them promptly cut his head off. As the player was lifting The Head of Vecna to emplace it on it's new body, another argument broke out and they spent several minutes shouting and yelling. Then, finally, they put the Head onto the character.

Well, of course, the Head simply fell off the lifeless body. All members of Group Two began yelling and screaming at each other (and at me) and then, on their own, decided that they had let too much time pass between cutting off the head of a hopeful recipient and put the Head of Vecna onto the body.

SO THEY DID IT AGAIN!... [killing another PC]

In closing, it should be said that I never even cracked a smile as all this was going on. After the second PC was slaughtered, I had to give in (my side was hurting)...

And Group Two blamed ME [Mark] for all of that...

"O.K. Now understand the guy I'm fixing to tell you about was later diagnosed with bi-polar syndrome, but we didn't know it at the time. His actions became much clearer after that. Anyway, my younger brother has a very regular gaming group that I often participate with, when possible. This one night (I'll call him Jim) Jim was in an odd humor during the gaming session. He began to become belligerant when a duel didn't go his way. He ranted, fumed and then grabbed a ****ing loveseat and threw, THREW that goddamn thing at his antagonist (his friend, mind you) and we had to restrain him till he calmed down. This probably should have been a red flag.

About a year later, another gaming session.... Jim and his girlfriend (I'll call her *****, because she was/is) ***** were there. Well into the session Jim was making some snacks for *****. We are all sitting there minding our own business, going about the game. Well, ***** wasn't paying attention to Jim. He kept asking her to pay attention to him, but she wouldn't. He walks up behind her, taps her on the shoulder, screams "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" We all look up and he takes the knife he was using in the kitchen and CUTS HIS OWN ****ING THROAT. Well, we all **** ourselves. He did not cut any of the major arteries, but it still bled like hell, and his windpipe was exposed. Make a long story short, 911 called, some time in hospital and mental hospital, bi-polar diagnosed, medication prescribed.

He is fine these days, but that was one for the ****ing books, I'll tell ya."

The one about the DM who the others 'suspected' might be gay after numerous incidence or oral and anal sex, plus how they always seemed to end up in a Turkish Prison is priceless
