EvilSouthie is running a
FairyTale role-playing/group writing game. As part of this, there is an inept mage. Every once in a while, when he tries to cast a spell, some other effect happens that he wasn't trying for. Given that I don't want to have to hunt down the chaos mage tables and roll on them whenever this happens, I thought it might be interesting to have those people who read Wiki to come up with appropriate suggestions and possibly vote on them.
So, add your suggestions here:
- it begins to rain cream cheese and jelly sandwiches
- Some random object in the vicinity turns into a brand-new Dell PC. Since this is a fantasy world, nobody will know what to do with a brand-new Dell PC.
- Some random object in the vicinity turns into a second-hand Dell PC. Since this is a fantasy world, everybody will know what to do with a second-hand Dell PC.
- The mage shrinks to one foot tall.
- The mage trips and lands in a bucket of water. (The bucket of water need not have been around before the spell was cast.) At your discretion, the mage may then melt.
- The mage is stricken completely colorblind. If anyone else is around, everything in a ten-foot radius of the mage turns green.
- Bad jokes start being acted out by random characters that show up - for example, 3 rabbis and a llama keep walking into a bar (the metal type) over and over, etc...
- the mage is forced to say "Grow, little plants, grow" before taking any action whenever s/he sees any dirt
- The mage accidentally casts Magic Mistletoe, causing the nearest two characters to embrace and kiss.
- The mage will cause two characters to "swap bodies" (as in, the players playing them switch places).
- The mage will conjure up a fearsome cartoon beast.
- A pie will fly out of nowhere at hit someone in the face.
- The mage will cause the entire party to talk like Furbies (ask AlexBobbs or DanielLowd for a demonstration).
- pi will fly out of nowhere and hit someone in the face
- it will begin to snow either near the mage or somewhere else
- it will begin to snow in Claremont
- A hundred foot tall tree will grow where there wasn't one before
- Someone's luggage (or backpack/carrycase/etc.) somewhere upon being opened will be found to be filled with cheese (location of original contents to be announced)
- A stone will self destruct in a violent and showey explosion
- A talking character's speach will come out of the mouth of a non talking character who may or may not even be present in the same scene.
- Gravity will be reversed within a specified building
- a nearby tree will become invisible & haphazardly mobile
- Shooting stars will form a random message in the sky which is visible to all players
- the wizard will catch a cold
- the nearest entity turns into a tiger, but turns back upon drinking anything
- The nearest prince suddenly becomes gay
- Every person in line-of-sight is instantly flat on their back, for no apparent reason
- A musical number will begin that will in no way advances the plot. Dance number optional.
- Either Poly, Pyro, or Meteo, from the SFX in FF9
- A voice booms out: "Nothing. You have to read it."
- A voice booms out: "I believe it not!"
- Something nearby catches on fire.
- A dragonfly lands on the mage's hat.
- The mage suddenly speaks only in French for a (mercifully?) brief interval
- Sparks explode, the sky flashes green then gold then silver, buildings jump two feet in the air and return to their places, plants dance jigs for half a second, the sun is eclipsed, and absolutely nothing happens
- Everywhere green and blue switch places
- a box appears of yet to be clarified characteristics
- somewhere some chinese takeout food appears for no apparent reason
- the mage sinks half a foot into the ground
- the mage, forevermore, will taste like octopus when eaten
- Wherever he is, Cal dies.
