I really just lurk this thread but if my vote counts, chronologically. I'd kinda like to see this party develop.

Ran a star wars game a while back where the PCs ran afoul of a bunch of droid fencers, they'd capture service droids off the city streets, disable them and then memory wipe them to re-sell. The PCs took the gang down and a big part of their "loot" was a small warehouse full of fresh-brained service droids (mostly pure household droids, with a couple of higher-functioning protocol or repair droids).

So the very first thing the party tech does is wire every empty cavity in the droids with explosives. In particular almost half-a-dozen mouse droids where outfitted with remote-rigged thermal detonators.

They were actually so thorough at this that at one point they realized the best approach for them to deal with a group of land-bound opponents was to fly their (barely armed) ship over them and just drop mouse-droids from the cargo bay on them, detonating them in midair.

So fist game without our dragonborn "meat and sex" cleric still went some interesting places.

so a week ago the player characters came upon a large shipment of silver, there was a werejakal bandit, you know how it goes. Anyway they take this 30lb shipment of silver and what do they decide to do with it?

Sell it. no not for this group.

Our charlton half-elf rouge and horder Earth Genasi barbarian devise a plan to corner the market on silvered weapons and manufacture a lycanthrope-based hysteria to boost demand. They already have a network of npc's from basically turning every mook they didn't kill into a hired informant and have managed to ally themselves with both major criminal organizations in the city too.Now i have one player in the discord chat researching the surface area of a scimitar and calculating the amount of silver needed to coat it. There is a very real chance they could cause a market fluctuation and boost the value of silver to ten times the value of gold. they're sapose to be assassins but it seems that entrepreneurship is a hard habit to break. they joke that this should be a thieves guild campaign and i kind of wish it was now. God drat DnD is amazing.

All hail dobster, he of the sideways shuffle because his lobster legs are longer than his dog legs.

Then, the elemental spins of four smaller elementals. It's then that my eyes light up in delight and I ask the DM: "permission to call these four little turds the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turdlets." DM allows it, everyone is already a bit tipsy and laughing. One of our companions, an evil halfling wizard, then asks: "and how bout the big one?". In the heat of the moment, without pause, I blurt out "that's Master Sphincter." The halfling had the laughing fits for so long he actually took windpipe damage.

I legit don't know if this is good or bad because it was an ending appropriate to my character or because I destroyed the boss fight.

We're playing 4eD&D (7th level currently) and our current job is recovering a captured fishery from crabmen. Turns out an evil god of the deep wasn't fond of the fishery's success and had its minions murder everyone in there and cook them like seafood. We'd been there days, slowly going through building after building, fighting crabmen and demons. Our wizard almost died to malaria.

I play Emi'li, a half-elf wild-sorc-turned-magical-girl, whose parents sold her soul to an Elder Thing. Problem: Emi'li is relentlessly, horribly lawful good and fights for Love and Friendship despite being accompanied by an eldritch horror (she calls it Kitty) that eats corpses. All of her magic makes people hear whispers of impending doom and the visual effects have too many tentacles and teeth. And glitter. Lots of glitter. She's not a very bright kid but she's really friendly.

We've spent most of our dailies in the previous fight.The rogue nearly died. We enter the final room where a massive chuul with an ioun stone has killed the fishery owner and is summoning an army of crabmen with the aid of several demons. This will be a slog.

Me: I roll to see what the chuul wants. 20.
GM: The chuul wants vengeance and the end to fishing in the bay. He's also dumber than Emi'li.
Me: gently caress it. Anyone mind if I negotiate?
I roll. Another loving 20. But these are evil beings - they won't really listen to her. Fine then.

While Emi'li is giving a passionate speech about working together despite our differences and that summoning an army would lead to mutual destruction, the outline of her magical patron is growing behind her, filling the room with shivering, purple light and holes in reality. Emi'li sincerely wants the chuul and the crabmen to be happy! As does the massive multi-eyed woman made of stars who knows how even demons can truly die. At the end, Kitty coughs up a skull.

GM: The chuul shuts down the portal and agrees to peace talks - only to be flash-fried by its evil god for the betrayal.

Emi'li makes the new fishery owners bury the chuul and give it a nice memorial.
