Additional Rules & Guidelines

  • Remember, we’re “Shit My Players SAY”! If your submission is not primarily a quote or conversation, it will not be published.
  • While we understand that RPG players aren’t always perfectly PC, we won’t publish anything blatantly offensive.
  • Please only submit quotes that belong to you! Don’t steal material from podcasts/YouTube/Reddit/wherever and submit it as your own. Plagiarism isn’t cool!
  • “Rogue” is a thief. “Rouge” is makeup.
  • Tag your submission with the “shareable” tag if you don’t mind your post being shared and used! (Check here for more info.)
  • fallintosanity is the parent blog of this one. If a quote is submitted anonymously, Tumblr displays our parent blog as the submitter. We don’t know why, and unfortunately there isn’t anything we can do to change it.

Happy submitting!

Sticky keys

Context: Party is talking to a ghost in a haunted mansion for a halloween special session. They’re asking about hide n seek. The cleric and the warlock are both nonverbal ooc, so they type. Everyone else talks.

Cleric, done with hide n seek from creepy children: I’m stealing your teeth and your spiders.

Ghost: You’re… stealing our… what? Please, do not-

Warlock: Ignore him.

Cleric: I have a jar of teet

Cleric, ooc: TEETH**** I MEANT TEETH

(entire call starts laughing for like ten seconds)

Cleric, ooc after it all dies down: Cleric titty jar canon??

Context: We needed to cross a river. There's a big expensive looking ferry, and a small raft with a couple of goblins on it.

Me: Ok so how much is the goblin raft?

Dm: Go ask them

Me: Hey goblin, how much to go across the river?

Goblin: That's a bit rude, referring to someone by their race. I mean how would you like it if I said "hey human"?

Me: WAIT I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT TO THE GOBLIN also I'm only half human and I identify as a dragonborn which is quite obvious from my appearance

Warlock: Wait, are you being racist to the goblins?

Rogue: Gosh, I didn't pick you as the racist type

Me: ididntmeantosayittothegoblin

DM: Look, we can spend the rest of the session discussing D&D racism, or we can cross the river.

Warlock is suffocating from ghost matter in their throat, the party is trying to get it out.

Rogue: I’m gonna punch them in the stomach.

DM: ok, roll for it-

Rogue: 1.

DM: warlock, it does not help at all. In fact, it might be even MORE lodged in there, and now you feel like you’ve been punched in the stomach.

Warlock, ooc: someone dies tonight.

Cleric: Warlock, open your mouth realllly wide I have an idea.

*Cleric preceded to cast sacred flame down the warlock’s throat in hopes of using radiant damage to clear the ghost matter*

Cleric: I should roll for precision… and that’s a 5.

Cleric, ooc: Warlock I’m so sorry

DM: Hmm… Warlock, it feels like you’re eating raw judgement. Like that feeling of just shame. As if all your sins are being brought before you in your throat.

Monk, ooc: Like how when you ate a lot of food and your brain is like damn, fatass 

DM: yeah, like that. It doesn’t burn, but it feels like you’re on fire.

(long pause)

Cleric: … open reallly wide we’re gonna try again-

Warlock: MMMPH!
