Discussion - Most Memorable Board Game Moment
What is your most memorable board/tabletop game moment. It can be a time that you won against impossible odds or maybe rolled a critical miss in Dungeons and Dragons. Did you Necron horde crush the Eldar you were facing in Warhammer 40k, or was your tribe beaten into submission in Gearworld?
My favorite moment has to come from Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition, my first time ever playing. I was playing with a DM who I base my style off of. He preferred to have fun and occassionally fudge numbers for the fun of the game rather than go straight shot and obey every single minute rule. Once, as a lone halfling bard, I was infiltrating a goblin encampment and rolled a stealth check to see if I could get a closer look. 1. I tripped and fell on my face in the middle of a great goblin feast, and I was surely gonna die, but I went for one last ditch effort and pulled out my lute. 20. I played a rock concert for these goblins and they hailed me as a god of music. And that's how I became a god and commander of a goblin army.
Lemme know your stories! I'm eager to hear them.




One of my most interesting experiences was being permitted to roleplay a magic item-aided villain with good publicity. I had a GM-approved custom item called an Amulet of Obfuscate Alignment that allowed me to fudge my character sheet so players would believe I was Lawful Neutral and the item would appear to be a bog-standard Amulet of Protection (to protect the plans the GM and I had set up from being metagamed).
As a character with high Wisdom and Charisma, I established myself as a sort of strategist and adviser guiding the direction of the party, using a combination of propaganda and low-key gaslighting to nudge them towards committing evil deeds that would appear just (because I provided intentionally incorrect or incomplete information) or necessary (because I had eliminated other options from consideration).
By the end, the final battle of the campaign was intra-party; the party members that had resisted corruption and followed their suspicions through to confront me, against the members I had corrupted (including a fallen paladin), a family of vampires I was allied with, and myself.
