One of my memorable moments was in a D&D one-shot. I busted out my special feature and killed two enemies in one turn. Everyone was like "oooooohhhh, you're a WAR cleric!" Hell yeah I was 😀

I had a cool but costly experience fighting an Undead (sort of a litch) with physical invulnerability.
I hit him with my magical Longsword and it shattered, then I tried my magical dagger with the same result.
The rest is a bit hazy but when I left the encounter I had destroyed weapons to the value of 7 MILLION silver pieces (when I ran out a friend lent his weapons).
And the undead (that was unscathed) had put a geas on us to fetch a book.

Had a moment when my D&D halfling thief (yeah, yeah) had been physically leashed to another player-character due to getting into too much trouble. The party were in a couple rooms separated by a hallway: |Room 1|-|hallway|-|Room 2| My halfling had been terrified and was trying to flee, straining at his leash in Room 1. The leash-holder was in Room 2, when something exploded there. He fled the room, and the nearby explosion shattered my terrified effect (somehow) and I rushed to see what had caused the noise. We passed each other, running full out, in the hallway. When the leash snapped taught, I was in Room 2, and he was in Room 1, and we both landed on our ass. I had a cool but costly experience fighting an Undead (sort of a litch) with physical invulnerability. I hit him with my magical Longsword and it shattered, then I tried my magical dagger with the same result. The rest is a bit hazy but when I left the encounter I had destroyed weapons to the value of 7 MILLION silver pieces (when I ran out a friend lent his weapons). And the undead (that was unscathed) had put a geas on us to fetch a book. It's a bear when your enemy is protected by GM fiat…!

Check out the let me tell you about my character section for the story of my characters discovery of being a father.
But here's one. 1920s horror. Character named Arnold Nido who was a pulp fiction writer and a mail order minister.
Cultists attacked while several of us were still in bed. After a brief argument between the big game hunter and I over who would get up, I rose out of bed and went out of the room
Half asleep I gunned down three cultists in my pajamas, apparently muttered something about the time, and went back to bed.

My first CoC game my character (who was a good doctor) failed 4/5 rolls for first aid critically. That character refused all further dealings with anything supernatural.

How did the cultists get into your pajamas?

Last night I shot an elephant in my pajamas. What he was doing in my pajamas, I’ll never know.

I rolled 100% for exceptional strength for my AD&D fighter. Played character once and group disbanded.

Actually, speaking of attributes, you reminded me of the time our group was bargaining with a minor deity. My character was a WIS 7 fighter, and I offered that I would "trade some measure of my ignorance, which clearly would ease the mind of (this deity)." The rest of the group stared at me, but the DM said, "congratulations, you are less naïve. You feel sullied. Your WIS is now 10." Everyone was flabbergasted, including myself.

Post Apocalyptic Setting that Rips of a Combination of Westerns and 1980's Samurai films.
6 permanent players and 1 temporary player. we get two wild west gunslingers, one of which is temporary, and we literally get 5 samurai clad in japanese schoolgirl uniforms, one of which was mine.
the other 4 samurai planned on doing a series of minor violations of the bushido code and i had to be the one to remind them of the code. well, being the adopted pupil of the Saitou Sisters of Border Town and a Border Town Peacekeeper, Samurai being a police position for a town called border town.
essentially, i was the representative of the Saitou sisters and the one who was guiding the other 4 Samurai who plotted on doing disruptive things. well, i wouldn't consider myself the party leader, but i would consider myself the voice of reason. i warned them that if they violated their code of honor, it would end up denying them access to later bushido goodies. because most of the decent combat edges were gated behind one of four specific codes of honor that were all optional
Code of Bushido for being a Katana Wielding Badass who doesn't give a flying fuck about armor
Code of the Old West (essentially Wild West Gunslinger/Southern Gentleman) for wild west firearms, like revolvers
Pirate's Code for Black Powder Firearms and Saber/Cutlass/Machete users
Code of Chivalry (Medieval Knights, Paladins) for Heavy Armor, Sword and Shield. in fact, wearing power armor requires a Heroic Tier Character with the Code of Chivalry Hindrance and the Paladin Edge. for merely +8 Armor instead of +4, when a Samurai can have +4 when unarmored that can't be bypassed by AP and +5 at legendary. and even then, the katana, black powder weapons and saber, have the biggest specialization chains and the highest maximum damage.
