Come on, I want to hear some stories. If your DM is anything like mine, they really like to get creative with your natural ones or twenties. Or you just have a really reckless character in the party. Or everything just comes together and something great happens.
I want to hear those amazing moments in Campaigns that you and your friends talk about long after the session has ended. Every D&D group has one. Or two. Or if they're anything like my group, a few dozen.
I'll just share one right now. I may or may not add more of my stories later.
---
We were playing 3.5. I was running a sorcerer who lived in a small town. We had a Ranger visiting the town to restock supplies. And we had a Druid who came to town with the intent to burn it down. Goblins attacked, and we charged off to kill them and defend the town of course. (Well, the Druid went off to kill them because he wanted to raze the town and wasn't gonna let Goblins do it before him.)
Long story short, the Druid couldn't reach the goblins in one turn. So he asked the DM if there was anything he could throw at the Goblins. The DM suggests that he can throw his lantern at the goblins.
Then our Druid asked if there was any way he could miss and hit both me and the Ranger instead. The DM thought about it a bit, and said "Only if you roll a 1."
He rolled a 1.
The lantern smashed dead center between me and the ranger, and showered us with shards of glass. I took 3 damage. I had 4 HP. Our ranger caught on fire.
---
The rest of the one-shot was the village burning down, the Druid killing people, making a belt out of one of the villager's ribs, eating my character's parents hearts apparently, and running off into the forest.
The ranger kidnapped me and forced me to go take revenge on the Druid. I rolled better tracking checks than the ranger. We ended up finding the Druid and killing him. That was my first ever D&D campaign too XP Good thing we're able to run long and serious campaigns now.

That is... wow. Pretty messed up.
I wasn't in this campaign, but I've heard of this story: basically, a character got subjected to a plane shifting effect (probably from a prismatic spray), and the DM was feeling a bit, well... humourous. So, when he rolled, he got Hell, and made the character end up in Asmodeus' bathroom while he was on the crapper reading a newspaper. 'He' being Asmodeus in a 20 foot tall form.
I'm sure I've probably got other stories, but I can't really quite think of them right now...

It would have been perfectly normal too, if Wolfie didn't decide to join in. He was the Druid. Any campaign involving him instantly burns to the ground.
And wow, that is funny. I'm guessing the guy died? XP
I enjoy screwing people over with their 1s. Our thief, who had like a, +20 bonus to thievery was going around mugging people for money in a one-shot I was running at camp.
He rolled a 1.
He stole his own copper piece XP
In another one-shot (Our campaigns are generally more serious, it's our one-shots we have fun with) we were doing, me and my friend were running away from some guards because my character did some really stupid things. She had just escaped from the guards too, but her hands were still chained up.
I was running away on the ground, and my friend was running up on the roofs parallel me. His ranger decided to shoot at me. So the DM told him to roll, and he got a twenty.
The DM says that he hit the handcuffs perfectly and they broke apart, and I was free.
It wasn't what my friend had in mind. He shot me with the intent to kill XP

This isn't a story, persay, but more of an ongoing joke amongst us.
Ever since my friend, who we call Rock, started DMing, I joined the campaigns. My favorite character; Elven Ranger. ( we play 3.5 ) However, I'm the only careful one in our party. Thus, my more... rude friend Nick, who's really more of a nerd, and it's ironic how he insults me, decided to dub me the "panzy ranger". However, I'm the one who gets the last laugh when everything litterally blows up in is face. Once the DM even turned his character into a girl for mocking me. He actually cried.
Needless to say, we all laughed.

Back a whiles ago, during the really weird one-shot in which I nearly got killed by the lantern, there was a random NPC named Librarian Steve. Ever since out crazy Druid killed him, we keep on having random NPCs named Steves in our campaigns, popping up and dying randomly.
And if your think your friend there got it bad, our DM was bored and turned our Paladin into a pink powder puff once. It kinda made sense because out paladin was stupid and triggered a magical trap, and apparently the trap turned people into pink fluffballs.
We went through the entire dungeon one crucial member short (Our Cleric doesn't give a damn about healing, he just kills things. So our Paladin was our source of Healing >.>) and got the living daylights kicked out of us until we managed to reverse the spell on him.

I was DMing once. I was playing with my friends, and I had created a temple. This temple, we have all agreed we would say what it was, but we agreed we could talk about what happened in it. I had a magical trap set up, and one of them foolishly set it off. He ended up being pregnant. When the baby came out, it was a small demon baby, and automatically tried to kill him. He crushed it's head with his hands, and I said this. "As the thing falls to the ground, it transformss into a normal baby. As it's brains gush out, and the light leaves it's eyes...it's last words were 'mama'." I said it with such emotion, they thought I was actually going to cry. We have never let him live it down.

0.0 Wow
We were in a village that had a curse cast over it once. And all the people there were turned to stone.
Our Paladin touched one of them to see if it was real or not.
The petrified version of an innocent little girl toppled over from that and smashed. I think all of our characters shunned him for a long time, at least until we needed healing from him.

I'm not really a panzy ranger, though my friend seems to think so. I'm just wary!

I'm back with more stories!
From that really weird stupid one-shot I talked about in the first post, a man named Librarian Steve was killed by the Druid.
Today, if our DM ever needed to kill a nameless NPC, he named him Steve. Everything we did had a 50/50 chance of killing someone in the area, and they would be named Steve.

I just got my Pathfinder core rulebook(like 3.5), and I had allowed my friend to make a really awesome drow rogue. He rolled high ability scores, got lots of equipment, and set out. So far, so good. He rolled pretty low on hp. Then he tried to use stealth to sneak up on this goblin and rolled a three. So they fought. He levitated, and the goblin was so stupid he forgot(I forgot but I tried to cover it up) that he had a crossbow. So Merlin(the drow) was pretty much laughing at him. Then the goblin shot at him, and rolled so high that he knocked Merlin out. This dude is a noble drow rogue and he gets knocked out by a stupid goblin! Well, Taylor's mom showed up to pick him up and saved his character's skin. I told Heather the first chance I got. She'll never let him live it down.

Oh god that poor Drow.
Our recent sessions has been going rather crazy as a result of two new members joining us. The sheer stupidity of everything has made my mind block it all out >.>

I remember the first time I played D&D. My father was my DM and me, my younger sister, and three boys who lived next door to us were playing the game using the rules of AD&D (which might be why I relate to those rules instead of the new ones...). I was a high elf cleric of Hanali Celani, and we were actually about to go and fight a medusa. During the time we were 'walking' down the hall to where here throne was, my father kept saying something about how this weird energy was in the room and I looked at my dad and asked him if I could roll to find out what it was. He nodded and I rolled a...17, I think, and my father said that this shimmering appeared before us and took shape and it turned into this beautiful elven woman. Turns out it was my goddess and she came to warn us about the fears ahead of us and how to stay safe before she disappeared, leaving us to prepare ourselves before we charged in to fight the medusa and her guardian...the guy-medusa-thing...I can't remember what it was called.

Update: our current campaign has done a lot of weird turns.
Most recently, we got our major tip for the next story point from the squirrel mafia.
