Have you ever snuck a gag or reference into any game you've played as DM or otherwise? What was everyone's reaction if/when they got it? >Playing in a Sci-Fi campaign. >My buddy from college id GMing. >Our PCs are mercenaries operating out of a space station. >Station is pretty much a massive dome on top of an asteroid. >1st session has us meeting the Station AI for a job. Said AI both owns and runs the place. >GM start speaking in a thick southern accent when the AI speaks to us. >One of the players asks what the AI's avatar is. <Yeah so he's in a white suit, southern ribbon tie, and a reeally tall cowboy hat. We all loled.
>>3040 We have one guy who always design character names around stupid puns but mostly it's just media poisoning that doesn't suit the character but it suits the moment stuff.
>>3040 Was running a Pf2e game a while back, and one of the rooms in the megadungeon I ran was an illusion room themed after Willy's chocolate experience.
>>3040 I've put symbol references in one game on some ancient ruin and then in a different game with the same players I'll reuse it for whatever fits the plot just so I can mess with them on a meta level and get them wondering how they tie together. The players come up with some wild theories that are fun to bounce off of when going back to the other game.
>put reference in game >none of the players know the thing that it's from >look at you like a weirdo
Had a fae type campaign and one of the locations was a winehouse owned by satyrs. The first Satyr the met was a horny gal called Amy. Get it?
>>3040 I played an extremely shitposty game with some coworkers a few years ago. One of the DM's friends who I didn't know played a nasty Stink Goblin sorcerer called Cumsock. I thought it would be funny to get his name wrong. I think we called him >Cumbubble >Poopsock >Jizzjar >Cumdumpster >Poopsteak >Jockstrap >Poprocks And he would always correct us. Very stupid and pointless joke but we rolled with it. My character was a cleric of Selune, a nun named Anustasia Rearendia. She got to roll at advantage for any action I could work into a butt pun. Our DM ran with this and the campaign hook became us intercepting the lost Rearendia family jewels, a crystalline buttplug that worked like the glass slippers mixed with the sword in the stone. My girlfriend wanted to get in on the game and made a demon lesbian to try and be Anustasia's girlfriend. I knew this would be cringe so I decided to constantly cockblock her based on my nun being racist against demons. It helped it be less cringe. Sometimes I sneak Anustasia into campaigns as a throwaway NPC.
I joined a DnD group a couple months ago and everyone likes to make stupid jokes about their characters to the point they constantly ask "which DnD character" (or just w) to pics and videos they find. The most notable running joke of the group is one of our friends having insane roll luck, to the point we call him "Protag boy", one of his character is a natural MC to the main campaign and he kind of hates when it's pointed out. There's also a couple running jokes I made completely on accident regarding one of my characters where she has a shipper brainrot with two characters (both ran by the same player) and has an one-sided crush on another character both in the main campaign AND an alternate joke campaign a different GM set up (and she is somehow even worse on the crushing there, like Sakura Haruno levels of worse). The two gifrels became signature with that running joke of my character locking the fuck in whenever this other character is around. >Diana when Cu'Jay spotted.
>>3884 >Protag boy Man I wish that was me. My rolls are unnaturally cursed.
