Mine I had an illusionist named “john Goldfire” at around level 17 or 19 I think.

We played dungeon magazines house of cards. Yep I got the Ice demon from the 9^th level of hell card. and fought with him for a long time some died in that one. now Seeing he would just keep coming back until I was dead or I went to the 9^th level of hell and killed him. When my friend pulled a card and got the Full wish I begged for it and gave him all the money and stuff I has saved up for the wish. seeing i could use the wish to fix my I demon problems. The DM let him give it to me but he had to write it down on paper exactly word for word.

Well lets say there someone playing D&D with the name “john bullfighter” that has one full wish.

(he probly wished it would stop rainning or something.) 

The trip to the 9^th level of hell was not so good. Maybe I tell you about that one later.

The most memorable game for me is the AD&D campaign we were playing about a year ago. It beat the socks off any of the modules/ campaigns I have played before, guess I'm fortunate to have played with 2 excellent DM's.

I hadn't played for ages, neither had the DM, and the other players were totally fresh to it. The DM had originally written the entire world, places, characters, plot, everything when he was 19 with chicken pox and it stood up well to a mature set of players.

It lasted for around 3 years of Monday nights and we are still talking about it now, the characters have taken on a life of their own and there are constant references to it.

I went through 3 characters in it, only one character made it all the way through. I've written up 2 of the deaths, I'll post them when I find them for the laugh.

Hard to say, but my first character Seargento had a good set of adventures.  Started in Basic, than worked his way through some Expert modules my bro was running.  I was nine at the time (im 32 now). 

Anyway, Seargento was around level 6 or 7 and found himself in the midst of the Curse of Xanathon (B4?).  I hadn't seen The Hobbit (or read it) but I must say I played a little bugger rather well, hiding in shadows and such...My inexperience, though, ultimately led to my characters demise.  A few too many traps...and a final battle put that character to rest, but it was the beginning of many years of role-playing in the world of D&D.

I would never play a halfling again.

I'm lucky enough to still have a group that I play with on a weekly basis. We've had a campaign going for about 12 years now. Characters have come and gone. some ave kids that are now characters... It's been a great ride. :)

BTW, my current Epic character is the inspiration for my name. Stradden. That's him in the pic :)

I've got a few good memmories from the games I've played... not the least of which was takeing out four nightmares and their riders with a ring of jolting (ranged attack stuns for 1d6 rounds)... apearently a stuned nightmare can't fly, and when you're over a cliff that's a bad thing.

Then there's the death of my first charictor... I learned a lot playing that one, such as never choose Paladin as a first charictor. He died smashing his magic sword (a DM modified Sun Sword) against his fallen apponents magic sword (DM created Moon Sword). The explosion of the two magic items distroied the entire surrounding army (which was filled with undead and other evil things). There have been roomers of my old charictor being alive on the outer planes, but as I joined the millitary I've never gone back to play him. I have heard that there are a few statues in his honor and all that... He was 7th level.

I've never had one last beyond that. Only one real charictor death... wait, two real charictor deaths. The rest survived the adventures they where in, but I was only playing for a couple of years before joining the millitary, since then any charictor I've played has been transitory.

My crew and I had a LOT of great adventures, but the most memorable ones tended to take place within the Ravenloft campaign series. That was a very well developed setting imho and the first time we played through the actual Ravenloft module, it was a thrill for us all.

In my city there was a dnd day camp.

That was the only organized game I haver had, but I was about 10 I think.

I was a spoiled kid so i got the dnd box games (basic, medium, expert), then Advanced DnD books.

Never could get a real game together, so I just read the books and imagined.

Well this one time i had a very large female paladin at about level 3, and a dude cast a spell on her so she fell in love with him... it sucked majorly.

i did have this one star wars rpg game where me and 2 others jumped out a window for 20 some storys up relying on our jet boot things to save us. they did. we leveled up simply from cinamatic experiance.

Having played Pen and Paper DnD for many years we ended up with a core group of players who met every week and had very different playing styles.

The most irritating and funniest character we had in the group was a halfling begger who did nothing except irritate the Large, Strong, Stupid fighter. The worst trick other than adding sand to the fighters rations was when the group split up while tracking a runaway prisoner. The thief got bored and took the fighter around in  cirlcle for two days......when the the fighter found out he was FURIOUS and so was the guy playing the fighter.

We also had 2 players killed in the same session because the DM rolled 20's one after another.....he is not allowed to use that dice ever again. The Elf Wizard of 10th level tried to show off and kill a  rat with his sword.....the rat killed him afer  a few 20's in a row by the DM.

hmmmm....this happened to me before....

I had a lvl 21 Necromancer, named Percil (2nd ED DnD). Me and my friends played on a world we made up. My best friend makes an adventure to where we are to fight a kingdom.

Will i suggested, we send a inflitrator to this city and find out. unbeknownst to me but knownst to my friend my necromancer was going to be the one, to go. I had the Complete Necromancey Dungeon Master Guide and I got the spell of Soul Exchange or Soul Jump.

Basically it switch bodies. I got their body, they got mine, as long as it was alive and or humanoid. I wish at one time for my previous body to be that of a gargoyle and human. After writing 6-7 pages, for this, my wish was granted.

back to the story. we send our minotuar friend Taran "Grinning Death" Bloodlust to Adinirach's town (he was a drow lvl 21 mage, that controlled a small town) to bring back quote/unqoute "theif" he brings back a woman.

I thought to myself (out of character, 90% of guys think between their legs and not on the shoulders) So i cast the spell Soul Exchange, she has my at the time Garoyle Body, and I have her body. We lock up my body so she wouldn't escape.

I go to the town, do my mish, get recon and come back. My body was gone, and not only was my body gone, the spell Soul Exchange accelerated her pregnancy that she had, and I gave birth to her child. yeah, I was uspet for about a week.

the most cruel thing i ever done, to another player was not killing their character, but i killed them without even trying.

to make a long story short, we killed a troll, everybody knows trolls regenerate 3 HP at a time and in 6 turns (i think) you'll have a full troll again.

being CE and a necromancer, I slipped my DM a note that I wanted to cut off some troll meat and emblam it so to stop the growth.

that night as the DM progressed the story line, i tell the DM I was going to make a campfire and start cooking. I slipped the DM a note that I wanted to take out that troll meat and place it in his bowl.

>:-) , The DM allowed it and i was \o/.... ( I can't remember the player cause it been years agao but i can recall it like it was yesterday)

DM: Percil is making a camp fire and cooking, what are you doing...

Dude: I guess I'll sit down..and sharpen my sword and talk to Percil... "Percile, why are we camped here, it's much to open and gnolls and other critters and get us."

Percil: .......

Dude: Why don't you talk much Percil, you shy?

Percil: Cause talking is a waste of time and effort, do you mind...

Dude: fine then...

DM: Percil get's down cooking and hands you a bowl and a spoon..do you eat...

Dude: yeah, might as well.

DM: as you eat the stew, you notice it has a succulent taste to it. As if a Mountain Dwarf had fix it himself.

Dude: Wow, that's pretty good, how did you learn to cook.

Percil: .........

DM: you eat the stew up and it's about 11 O'Clock. Are you guys going to go to sleep or stay up all night?

Percil: (out of character) I pull first watch.

Dude: cool i'm crashin'

DM: a few hours go by, and you get a burning sensation in your chest, as if you ate something bad.

Dude: Percil, I think that stew you made, was god but I think the meat was bad.

Percil: For once you are right, the meat was bad. Infact you know that troll, we killed. You just ate a peice of it's meat. As we speak it's probably tearing it's way out of you.

Dude: WHAT! I F*CKING HATE YOU!

Percil: That's sad, i was hoping we could be friends. I guess you had to go and break my heart. Anyways enjy your new friend, I'm sure he'll like you.

Dude: I want to pull out my sword and try to kill him.

DM: you pull out your sword, but you fall to one knee gripping your chest, as you see your stomach protude out, and a greenish like claw hand sinks it's hand into your shoulder blade.

Percil: I want to cast Teleport w/o Error.

DM: As you watch you see another hand rip out of your stomach and grab you opposite shoulder blade, and begin to pull it self out. um you probably want to make a new character, sorry for your loss...

Dude: F*CK YOU GUYS! Why did you have to kill me for.

DM: Seemed like the right thing to do at the time. XD

a campaign where we had to fight our way through a mindflayer city, played with my dual wielding blademaster (custom created and THOUROGHLY playtested to ensure maximum fairness)

My most memorable DnD moment was getting the Basic Set home, and reading it. Again and again and again, and wondering if it would ever remember all the 'rules' HAHAHA. Our first game with me being DM, as I knew everything of course.. :P and 2 players. I don't remember the details ( I was 9 or 10 I think ) but we had a great laugh. Looking back I know wwe got a great many things wrong, we over powered our characters etc, but those first few months of playing every day over summer were great. Later games, as we grew older, added more players and became better players in better campaigns were probably more fun, but you can still never beat the firt time you do something.

OMG, yes. I remember the basic set (still browse through it now and then). The first adventure. 1 Dm and two players. Great stuff...

The two statues in the castle. We didn't trust em, so we threw bits and pieces of Kobalds at them to see if they would move or react. Not very lawful good, but hey, we were greenhorns back then.

Like some of the others who've posted, here, I loved to Read the Books! Not that I can't relate to the Thrill of the First Time theme... but, as a bit of a bookish player, I identified most strongly with my Illusionist character, Nowya Seeit. Short, fat, and Chinese, Seeit was a relentless innovator (much to his detriment, at times). He was doing Spell Research (per AD&D 2nd Edition) at Level 5!

True D'Lusion (tm) (Illusionist, Level 2), when cast on a party member, caused a shimmering at the edges, occasional "staticky" or "gappy" sound distortions, and a complete suppression of that character's smell. It was quite effective at convincing human(oid)s of moderate intelligence (e.g. goblins) that the character was actually a clever illusion; the usual "Disbelieve" saving throw, if passed, would cause the enemy to scoff at the affected character, and pretty much ignore his/her actions, while trying to convince his compatriots that "it's just an illusion, stupid!" The other gobbies (or whatever) would then get a second "opportunity" to disbelieve...

To make a long shory short, our Thief got a lot of double-damage backstabs in!
