TR Contest: Most Shameful RPG Moment


0046_03.gif
This week’s shirt contest is running tad early because I want to make sure there’s a certain video running at the top of TR all weekend, but don’t be deceived — I fully expect the most hilarious, heartbreaking and embarrassing stories of all the TR contests so far based on this topic. I mean, we all know that role-players are generally considered near the bottom of the nerd hierarchy, and when I say TR is nerd news, humor and self-loathing, I mean it.

Have you ever got incredibly upset about something that happened in a game of Dungeons & Dragons and freaked out? Have you ever been caught LARPing by someone you knew who was not LARPing? Have you ever had a character who sex with another member of the party, even though both characters were played by guys? And felt horrified about it? Good, you should’ve, because that’s some freaky shit.

Obviously, I’m primarily looking for table-top role-playing game experiences, but I might be willing to take some of the more advanced, nerdy board games (no Parker Bros. shit) if the tales are embarrassing enough. Likewise, I may accept an MMORPG experience, but there had to been other players involved, and you had to act like a complete ass in front of them. Here are the rules (you can also see the shirt you might win, if you’re new-ish) and the contest ends Monday at 3am, EST. Now stay tuned, because I might have just found the greatest video on the internet.
