Weirdest Place That You've Run Games?

[TheAuldGrump]

I know what the weirdest places have been that I have run games - buffets, the concourse of a mall, and of course, a pagan retreat or three.

What's the weirdest place for other folks?

Something to keep in mind in regards to pagan retreats in Maine -


The Auld Grump

[Mister Andersen]

I can't work out if that's a rather bad misspelling or a clever play on words

[TheAuldGrump]

Alas, I believe it is the former - if I recall correctly Willow has mild dyslexia. *EDIT* But I have decided to pretend that it is the former - the pun is a much happier making choice.   (Or I may be thinking of a completely different web cartoonist, there were a couple with notices on their sites to not correct their spelling because of the dyslexia, I do not recall if this was one of them or not. One was The Devil's Panties, but she has somebody checking for her these days.)

Only place Ive run games are at my College. Second floor of my Cafeteria and in a conference room. For actual settings of campaigns, I once played a Forum RP that was created from the ground up from this guy. He basically wanted to create a Halo RP but put in his own characters. When I joined I added my own spin creating the mercenaries faction and a pub to hang out at.

Side note:
My main ended up being a powerful psychotic soldier who took on the mantle of "Reaper". He would mess with the Player characters by injecting them with hallucinogens that would make scarecrow freak out. Ended up pissing the owner off when I put my own character into corner that had death as the only outcome. He was going to just heal me with a MacGuffin item he made up. I ended up making him a remote controlled synthetic soldier robotic so he couldnt heal him. That has to be one of the oddest campaign settings I ever played.

I once played Shadowrun in a local Burger King. Unlimited free refills are a real help when you're trying to stay long after you've finished your burgers.

I was in a cyberpunk homebrew with two GMs, fourteen players, and no dice or character sheets in a hotel hallway seating area at Shorecon a few years back.

Nothing happening at a con is ever counted as weird.

Once played the original Ravenloft module I6 in a graveyard by candlelight on Halloween ... Freaked me the hell out.

Never gamed in a cemetery, but I have told ghost stories by campfire there.

The Auld Grump, give me back my golden aaarrrmmm.....

I've got 2 and both took place while I was in the army.

I've mentioned this one before on the boards a long while back. I ran a game of TMNT & Ninjas & Superspies while on the Iron Curtain. I was stationed at in what was West Germany at the time. I got out of the Army as the wall came down over there, very scary and uncertain time to be there, but very cool as well. We had a 3 week guard detail and we gamed the whole time. It was especially fun to be gaming in the guard tower, while peeping over at the "bad guys" with field glasses with them peeping back at us. It was very weird but it had to be one of my most memorable and best games.

The other was in Heidelberg we had a german resident of the city playing with us and he took us through a manhole outside of the castle that led into the sewers, which led into the dungeons/basements below the castle there. I ran a one shot D&D game there and that was a whole lot of fun.

I think the weirdest place I've ever gamed was my garage. Not very weird, I admit. Though the coolest places I've gamed were all on college campuses. The private meeting room in my college's library was pretty cool, as was a conference room at a friend's college. Full office chairs and a massive meeting room table.... it was quite a bit more fun than gaming on the tiny table we use these days...

Yet another reason to miss school...

Never played at a con, but a bunch of people did larp in an extremely small party room, how people LARP at cons is beyond me, especially when they are LARPing vampire the masquerade.

CONs I have been to, noone would have noticed.  Hey, when the Moose club that happens to be having its cnovention at the same time, and they join us, I can't even count that as weird.

I hot tubbed with drag queens at a Conduit in Salt Lake City a few years back. The convention was double booked alongside the annual Drag Queen club pageant/election of officers.
