Well that's literally a direction I never thought would have been coming, does anyone even have a storytime for when you played as an inanimate object?

There was the time where I was turned into a chair for half a game. I still had the ability to see and talk, so at one point, my teammates used me to spy inside a building to help guard a treasure as a sidequest. I conviced the theif I was a ghost for long enough for my teammates to get in and beat his ass. That was fun.

CCCCOMBO BREAKER!

Seems like he was a chair quite a few times!

Just three more and we've got a classic film!

I did not know that would happen if I pressed the button multiple times.

Player in one our campaigns played a sentient floating magic lantern. Thing had all kinds of light related magic abilities. Can't remember what the thing's class was.

Well, my first experience in D&D, I didn't know how to play, but I loved roleplay. One of the PCs had just gotten an enchanted sword that talked, so the DM offered to let me roleplay the sword. In order to encourage the player not to sell the sword to get rid of my talking as I got used to it, the DM tweaked it so the sword would grow in strength over time. The only instruction the DM gave me was, "Be sassy." So I decided to go for an irritable Scotsman.

...by the end of the first session, I'd made seven enemies laugh themselves to death, or so the DM ruled he was laughing so hard at times.

my character was a mech pilot and died in an epic battle against the enemy. for a while nothing special happened and I roleplayed as my previous characters brother. but eventually He realized the mecha was haunted by my previous character. for the most part it was just a cool story element but whenever I rolled very low or high the reason would be the ghost messing with the mech. After I rolled several 20's we came to the conclusion that the ghost was practically a co-pilot steering his brother along in the way of war. he never talked but he was one of the most influential characters in the campaign.

I once spent a campaign playing as the barbarian's sentient enchanted axe. It was interesting. The DM ruled that I had the ability to overpower weak willed creatures, so I could posses zombies and stuff if they picked me up.

I played a magic/cursed ring which really wanted to be worn by somebody. In my defense I was rather bored as my character had been turned to stone.

Our main villain was a chair
It is an absolutely absurd story but basically I rolled a nat 1 and got a chair stuck on my mace and we had home ruled in some stuff about my God since I was playing a cleric
So our main antagonist was the god ralishaz, possessing a chair, that fired laser beams

No, but might now. That's a huge amount of disadvantages for a Gurps character.

...On second thought, that would likely involve Gurps Vehicles. I think I'll go make a 10-armed grappler instead. it would be easier.

I so hope that usopp is also going to have the greatest bond with her here, and not Nami.
But even if he isn't, this is going to be so nice!

...which would be hilarious in retrospect, since she's currently being represented by Kaya.

Tenchi Muyo reference? You are old.

Or has respect for anime history. Besides, you find a better example from a recent anime. As good, maybe. Better, I strongly doubt it.

Does this mean whenever the ship is attacked or needs to maneuver, Rika has to roll in tandem with the other player actions?

Maybe it'll work that Rika has the ability to fix/overrule any bad rolls/decisions that the party makes in regards to sailing/ship-combat.

I think her presence would present a significant bonus to any maneuvering checks.

Oh man. I hope we get to see the uh... inevitable conclusion to this. Love the twist.

So I was trawling through the comic's archives, enjoying the Syrup village arc again when I ran into the part where they GET the Going Merry.

Look at that race listing.

Well played. Well played.

That's some magnificent bastardry right there. Bravo.

Take a moment to ignore the race listing, check out the author's comment.

Or read down to the comment that saw this coming over two years ago.

Just like Oda never forgets, apparently neither does DT

In the explanation, "Sailer" should be "Sailor."
Thanks, DT, you do great work.

Ah, friggin'... *mumble* *grumble*

Thanks for pointing out that typo! ^_^

A friend of mine once played the (depressed AI of the) spaceship our party was using. He actually pulled it of pretty believably.

I kind of miss all those emo poems about black holes all screensavers on board eventually reverted to whenever it felt down - which was basically always.

That one time we had a new player who had never played before join our ongoing scifi campaign. With no time to create a new character he took control of one of our tech-guy's shield drones, which spontaneously gained contiousness. So he now was a floating metal orb with no real way to communicate except flying patterns. The tech guy then installed a display so he could write messages containing no more than 3 words. He actually went through some fun stuff discovering what it meant to exist and all that.

I once played as a severed animated hand. I gave him the mentality of a kitten. It was fun. He could telepathically communicate with people if he could touch them.

That's probably the closest I've gotten.

Once in a changeling the lost campaign, I played a shapeshifting changeling that had exactly seven shapes, each one of the seven sins. I never got to try out greed but the rest was fun. Anyway, he could instantly change between them when noone was looking. They all had distinct personalities to, and he wasn't really aware himself that they were all one person suffering from a supernaturally charged case of multiple personality disorder. He could talk with his other personalities trough mirrors.

It was basically like playing seven characters at once.

I've played a dual personality character before. Leprechaun twins, a Bard and a Barbarian with a shape shifting gold greatsword/fiddle. I had the hardest time not using both of them equally. I can't imagine playing seven.

Well, using them equally, I mean.

It will take a while to get there, but I guess you can only delay the pain for so long.

I had a living table named Buford with googly eyes glued to him. I moved with wheels on my legs and gained momentum with a grappling hook attached to me I could fire at-will. I gained angelic and demonic powers by selling my non-existant table soul.

Someone knew he would'nt get the ocasion to be there at every session due to a rather busy schedule, so he came up with a way to justify what his character was doing when he was'nt here to play.
He played a talking set of integral armor. he could walk by himself and act on his own, or be worn by another player character (assuming that this character be able to wear a armor) to make him stronger. (we called it megamerge)
he also had to power to control weak NPC if they worn him, which could be used to fake fighting prowess.
Was fitting for him, since he enjoyed the roleplaying situation more than the math, when he was'nt feeling like taking part in the fight, he could just have his character megamerge and let the other layer take care of it. And when he was'nt here, we just had a other PC wear the armor for the session.
