Weirdest Party You]ve ever had

[kiahoga]

Im running a Turakian Age Campaign and ive got to say that i nmy many years GMing games in various systems this has got to be one of the most Eclectic groups ive ever had.

Player 1: A Sister of Salea
Player 2: A Ulronai Warrior
Player 3: An on the Run Sorcerer Preist of Thun ( He has a Amulet the Disquises the fact that hes essintally an Evil Person)
Player 4: A Thona Preist Monk
Player 5: A SHadow Mage ( whos on the run from justice)

after two weeks of Bending my min to the task ive finnaly found how to get this group together. But what sort of weird and off the wall group have you seen?

The Dungeon of Sephiroth PBeM I ran a few years ago (set in the Western Shores)-

• Female Human Paladin avatar of the God of Good masquerading as a cleric
• The God of Good herself, masquarading as a Male Elf Mage
• Demon avatar of the God of Evil masquerading as a Male Dwarf Fighter.
• The God of Evil himself, masquerading as a Female Half-Elf Ranger
• The Necromancer owner of the Dungeon masquerading as a Hobbit Thief and guide to the dungeon.

And my current campaign in the Western Shores (which seems to run a session ever month or two currently)

• A Baron and secret magic user (magic use is illegal)
• An anarchist for Loki whose public identity is that of a Bard
• A Feline mage who has had his soul transferred to a Rakshasa, and his memories stolen and placed in a gem.
• An heir to a March (a Markgraf) who was framed when his father was murdered and spent the last 5 years in a foreign country as a hard bitten mercenary.
• An Elven orphan brought up as a human and is now a healing monk with extraordinary luck.
• An avatar of Thor who isn't very religiously knowledgeable.
• A Feline scout leader sent to recover the Feline mage and has had all her team wiped out by the alien invasion.

As a player, the strangest party I've ever been a part of involved...

*A suicidal black knight that failed defending his lord.
*A goblin martial artist/thief who could literally use anything as a deadly weapon - and he had a ton of unluck
*A half ogre ranger with the IQ of a rocket scientist but lacked common sense
*A "southern belle" who loved her clothes and costumes. Passed herself of as an entertainer and dancer - she was an assassin and her stilleto heels really were stilletos
*An orc paladin that served an elven god
*A female mage - the only normal character in the group

As a GM, the strangest group I've had to deal with involved...
*A wolfen gladiatior who had bought his freedom
*A cowardly feline fire mage
*A drug addicted dark elf swordmaster
*A goblin shaman with a hyena mount
*A wood elf archer who was no where near as good as she thought she was

I've had a few groups that really stick out, but these are the two that take the cake.

I think the weirdest team I ever played in consisted of:

• A Thumper (rabbit-man) witch-hunter with a demon-possessed whip that looked and smelled like delicious red licorace.
• A baby dragon who believed every living thing counted as food -- unless that thing was a "pet." She wasn't allowed to eat pets.
• An Elven archer with a sky-board (like a surfboard, but it flew) and a California surfer's attitude.
• A noble wizard and his "manservant" -- a 12-foot high iron golem named Clyde.
• A wolfen (wolf-man) hunter with an enchanted mace nicknamed "Bunny-Masher."

I think there were a few others, but I can't recall them at the moment.

I typically depart from games that reach this level of aburdity. Just not to my taste.

[Blue Jogger]

The weirdest party (by design):

• Female Human "Treasure Hunter"
• Male Part-Frost Giant Cleric
• Young Chromatic Dragon Preacher (temporary replacement for the Cleric)
• Half-elven Male Fire Mage (who sometimes transformed into a humanoid dragon, had the Age 40+)
• Male Human, Animal trainer (3 dogs followers)
• Human Monk (Neutral with evil tendencies)
• Half-orc Beserker (although he rarely took enough damage to go beserk before he passed out)
• Bearman Merc (5 points of STR was defined as Large)
• NPC Female Feline

Although they never were all together at the same time.

I try not to start in them in the first place.....

[Dale A. Ward]

I think the weirdest team I ever played in consisted of:

"Scrap the Caddy, Clyde..."

Oh, wait... Clyde IS a scrapped Caddy!

[Eosin]

Mine are obviously kinda tame in comparison but here they are....


This was an evil D&D campaign in 1st Edition.

• Male bounty hunter who was transformed by a Girdle of Feminity into a woman. Subequently lost an arm to an axe of sharpness.
• The Warlock with an imp familiar. He was the henchmen of the big bad evil we were serving.
• Female ninja who, while evil, had her own ambitions that did not include us.
• Shadowlord warrior [pre-dark elf, dark elf] who was good if self serving.
• Paladin Witchhunter in the service of good who infiltarted the group with the goal of catching bigger fish. [ME]
• The heir to the kingdom who was rebelling against his father. Neutral but could be swayed toards evil.

A funny thing happened on the way to the store.... I killed the heir as the greatest potential evil even though he was theoretically Neutral. He had the MOST potential to do harm and by the paladins insane credo that meant he had to die.

Well, it was a comedic-fantasy game, set in a world much like that of Bruno the Bandit. Our main goal was to stop an evil demon-god from manifesting and destroying the world – which sounds like standard high-fantasy fare, until you realize that the demon was named Cadbury the Chaos-Bunny, and the only day he could manifest was on the first Sunday following the first full moon following the Spring Equinox (AKA Easter Sunday).

It was a fun series of one-shots, which we played every Easter Sunday for about 12 years or so.

An old D&D version of Markdoc's campaign world from about 26 years ago.

Three brothers who gave rise to a family of related characters in at least three campaigns that I know of.

The Brother's Snotgobblerson - Bjorn, Lars and Gunnar.

My character was Bjorn and he was a D&D fighter with no attribute above 10. Somehow he became a fearsome Beserk. One of the wierdest games I ever payed in.

I'm sorry, I have to ask...

How long did it take for everyone to end up dead?

Well (In an offbeat Harn Game)...

The second, inconvenient son of an Earl and down on his luck, knatty knight bachelor who had...

...taken on a young woman (and hottie) who had run from indentured servitude with the courtesan's guild as his squire (disguised as a boy)...

...and who had fallen in with a super-genious, albeit sardonic talking mastiff with a love of word games and puns (he was enscorcelled by a wizard who subsequently had a laboratory mishap)...

...and an overly curious and slapstick pixie on his coming of age walk-about in the world of the big people hell-bent on proving himself a warrior by amassing tales of daring-do and, more importantly, slaying the mighty predator known as the common cat (and he had unluck, which led to comic events surrounding this)...

...and, lastly, his cousin, another unwanted second born noble, who had been packed off to study in a monestary, and who had become a monk and church expert on the occult, but who really aspired to be a poet, musician, and hot-blooded gigalo...

So, in summary:

• Natty Knight (Chivalrous Warrior Par Excellance And Party Straight Man).
• Squire Courtesan Chick (Warrior With Massive Presence)
• Supergenious, albiet smartass Mastiff (The Dog With The Plan (TM))
• Maniac Cat-Hunting Pixie (A Good Thief and Infiltrator)
• Wayward Monk (Resident Religious and Occult Scholar, Aspiring To Other Things).

Together they aspired to simply get by while making their way from tourney to tourney (serial adventures between tournaments), but ended up becoming embroiled in politics via the knight's father, who let them use the family townhouse in the royal seat as their base of operations. After that they got involved in an investigation into a cult that had infiltrated the church. It was a motley crew, and more often than not, completely off the wall things happened. It was good comic relief.
