Well, a few days ago, me and the crew gathered for our monthy dice off.
Our rules are quite different from standard D&D, in several areas.
One of the biggest changes we have is our critical failure system. Normally, rolling a 1 should be a miss.
But in our rules ((because it makes things funny hur hur)) is that if you roll a 1, you must roll a saving throw to see if you can fail at failing. (( I.E. trip on your sword and not landing on it.))
If you roll less then a 3 ((on 1d6)) you "succeed at failing." ((I.E. Triping on your sword, and fail at not landing on it.))
This tends to make things funny when facing a foe.
I die a horrible, self inflicted, completely accidental death at the hands of my own blade ((and stupidity)).
Anyone have a horrible miss adventure half as bad as that?
Feel free to share your failures. I wong lol. much.

Picture this. My fighter runs full speed at the succubus, gaurding her treasure. I fail my will roll, but because of my special ability ((one of the many we decided on)) my characters poor weapon skill ((and massive girth)) allows him to still take a swing. My other ability ((one of the many we decided on)) allows me to make 2 extra swings at half strength if i fail a saving, will, or dexerity roll.
I rolled once, and got a 1 on my saving throw. I deal 1d6 damage to myself because i smack my knee with the flat of my blade. Because i failed my saving throw, i take another "accidental" swing. i roll another 1, and then another 1 for my saving throw. I lop off 4 of the toes on my left foot for 1d4 ((i rolled a friggan 4 Dx)). And because of my skill, i take one final, completely unneeded swing, which i roll another 1 on.
COME ON!! I roll my saving throw.
......... a 1....... My character lets go of his blade in the intoxicated stupor, and it goes flying off in a random direction, but because of the enchantment on the blade, i can roll to see if it automatically returns to my character. ((2d6 equal to, or greather then 9)). I roll and i get a perfict 12. It returns to my character ((which i wish it hadent)) and peirced clean through his neck trying to enter its sheath. (( for another 2 damage))
