Funny my character was a 12 year old photographer in an online game too.

NAMES WITH HELD TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.

Me and the DM butted heads a lot over different issues which would devolve to him accused me of metagaming and me accusing him of railroading the last straw was when he exercised god like control over whether a mon was caught (I rolled low enough to catch one at full health so he tacked on "story modifiers" to lower its capture rate. I then damaged it and tried again next round and rolled so high it would never catch and by the "grace of god" it was a catch (that and he gave another player a bulbasaur with solarbeam and 8 damage with out even having him roll(it was not an rp catch he said he threw a ball))) it broke all immersion it felt like nothing I could do in the game would matter cause anything contrary to the DM's whims or plans would auto fail. so I quit

moral of the story: TiNtVG(This is Not the Video Game) and TiDNtA (This is Definantly Not the Anime)

One of my trainers cried, in the real world, when she found a room stacked full of tiny cages with spearows in them. Think of a Peta video. Some where dead and dieing, some where fighting and bloody.

In our last two sessions the main party have been traveling through a cave to reach another town. While in the cave they stumbled upon a girl in a Flygon themed outfit trying to apprehend a group of wealthy poachers. Upon confronting the poachers they released their Pokemon to fight us off. In a battle that was almost entirely one sided we grasped victory. However near the ending of the battle a few of them tried to escape. The group's Researcher/Professor, is one of the weakest of the group. His Strength is at 4 from the class penalties and his con is at 6. After he saw people running away he instructed his Machoke to use seismic toss to throw him at the people running. Thanks to the feat "Choosen One" it worked.

Later in that same cave we found what the Poachers were really after, a Moltres that lived in the cave. Once again we had to fight the Poachers and their Pokemon, but this time they were backed up by a group of helicopter drones and a giant Submarine with a drill. The Submarine almost knocked out our Ice Type Ace with repeated ramming and the drones were shooting missiles at us. With the Moltres' help we were able to take out the drones, trainers, and the submarine. It was at this point that the Moltres took one of the poachers with the intent of eating it while it recovered. One person in the party, The Water Ace, saw it as their just desserts while another was raised by Pokemon and just saw it as the circle of life. While the breeder (The one who was raised by Pokemon) was trying to talk the Moltres into being captured, the Ice Ace tried to keep it's mind off of food and away from the Poacher. The Researcher, who has a sense of justice and honor stemming from books, childrens cartoons, movies, and comic books) ended up offering the Moltres his arm as food in exchange for the poacher's life. The Moltres admired the extent that the researcher would go for his enemy and let him keep his arm as well and the poacher go. After this the Breeder successfully convinced the Moltres to come with the party.

The Moltres was the first Legendary that the group encountered in the long running campaign. So I believe that this is quite memorable for us.

hm... wonder where you heard that one before?



I once ran a game with my college roommate where we both played legendary pokemon masquerading as trainers (ones with avatar) in order to root out a plot by Team Rocket to take over the world. It was about as epic as it sounded. I think exploding a mountain base was about the most dramatic thing we did.

That line had to have been scripted. There's no way anyone ad-libs that.
...or is there...
I suppose there is worse. *checks behind shoulder to make sure he's not being stalked*
:D

You're kidding, right? Weirdly enough, last session, I was telling Ava how I have everything Danny and Larry say scripted and written before each session.
