** In his "[[Thieves' World]]" story, Spoony relates the tale of a campaign that accidentally went off the rails when a character impulsively flung an acid flask at a figure entering through a door in a cultist's lair - and ended up hitting the party's benefactor, a semi-immortal champion of the setting's god of war, critting him and burning half his face off. What follows becomes a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for both Spoony as a DM and for his players, as he rewrites the campaign around this moment to turn the benefactor into the [[Big Bad]], and the players eventually organize a peasant army against him and his minions. |

** [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12853680/ There was] an one-shot "guess what I think" side-quest with "thrown into unknown world" plot and random furry crossover setting trying to use ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' (description doesn't lead to believe it was as much as ''d20 Future'' preview) as an impromptu substitute for ''[[Shadowrun]]''. Loonie misadventures and massive elemental destruction ensue. |

** [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Elf+Murderin%27 There was] a fangirl's attempt to pass "''Avatar'' with yaoi" as ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]] 4'' campaign without telling the players beforehand. The party was supposed to See The Light and save elven tree-hugging [[Mary Suetopia]] from evil humans, but most chose to actually roleplay the proposed roles instead, leading to creation of what was nicknamed "[[Screw_You,_Elves|The Elfslayer Chronicles]]". |
