Today's topic is Surprise.
What is the most surprising thing you ever witnessed in a game? I have to say it was a game my older son ran for my youngest son and the sheep.
It was so surprising because of how crazy it all was and how much noise we heard coming from the basement.
So it goes like this. The party was supposed to get to the next town to get to a job. The job was what the adventure was supposed to be about. Simple right? So they all decide to take a short cut through a field and stay off the main road. They ask what is in the field. My oldest, not having planned this bit out (because why should he) rolled and said "Sheep".
The players freaked out. They all wanted to have sheep as pets or animal companions. So they spent a long time chasing sheep, trying to charm them or casting any spells they could think of. By this time some of the players got tired of chasing sheep so they started killing them. Next thing the players they started try and raise the sheep from the dead, others wanted to bring them back as zombies. Then the characters started attacking each other, the zombie sheep started to attack the characters. By the end of the night, some four hours later, the sheep were all dead, the countryside was on fire, and at least three characters (out of six) were dead.
There was so much yelling and laughing and shouting. We were laughing our asses off upstairs.
Every kid downstairs had to tell us their version of the story.
I know I am not doing the story any justice here. But it was so damn funny to hear them tell it.
