It has been a running joke in #D&D that my character collects tattoos.

Not on herself, from her defeated foes. She keeps the pickled skin in jars.

My character is stuck in a time loop!

There are no consequences in a time loop

So far I have:
Burnt down the greenhouse
Attacked guards on sight
Gambled away my artificial arm
Fallen into an infinite void
Been stepped on by a Tarrasaque

My character was given a (mostly used up) item that contained a single charge of wish

I got surprisingly far wishing "I wish to be to able to recharge magic items" before my DM realised I would recharge that item

I was wishing for more wishes without actually saying any of those words

My character cast jump! It was useful!

I have achieved the impossible!

Stuff the spell True Strike though. That one is irredeemable

Played #boardgame Captain Sonar

The rule was you had to speak in a Russian accent (we would allow the engineer to be Scottish)

But my Russian accent wandered a bit, so we had the Meerkat Sergei in charge of the weapons systems.

Torpedoes are simples, Captain.

Todo: Combine the board game "Diplomacy" with secret Santa

If I say I'll support Jeff's present for Steve, but backstab them, so Mary gets a great present, maybe she will support Kim's present for me?

The goal is to have a perfect round robin gift exchange, with no one remaining friends at the end

For so long, winter gloves have been an "ask for them at Christmas" thing, that the realisation "I'm an adult, I can just buy gloves" has rocked me

So guess who coded up a Secret Secret Emailer in Python, just so not even *I* knew who had who?

The DM has hinted that plans that involve call backs to established NPC's are more likely to work

I am going to arm & equip the children of so many NPCs

The DM was proud of their carefully constructed and detailed Throne Room on the second floor, supported by graceful pillars of stone in the entrance hall below.

The party attacked & destroyed the support pillars, gaining entrance to the throne room in a completely surprising way

My character has embezzled from the party and bought two clockwork minions, which I have named "Two" and "Three"

So if the party ever finds out, they'll think I am am still lying and wonder where I am hiding "One"

How many simultaneous casts of Bigby's Hand (if they all pulled/pushed at once) would it take to make an airship out of a sailing ship?

My anti-authoritarian warlock has been given two clockwork servants.

How sentient are these constructs? Are they slaves?

I may draw power from a being of unspeakable evil but... Am I the bad guy now?

The city has been infiltrated by doppelgangers. They've replaced the ruling faction.

Its hard to recruit NPC's to our revolution. Any of them could be a doppelganger spy.

Solution? We'll raise the graveyards, specifically the heroes & honoured dead section.

One of the best uses of Wall of Force is: those snipers on the balcony up there? They get to watch as we butcher the melee fighters now

Found the bad guy's second best hat, fought the bad guy while wearing their second best hat, with the trifling horns ripped through it

It is not enough to fight evil, we must also fight fashion too

Found an unattended dragon's horde!

My character: immediately pulls a shovel out of the bag of holding, and starts shoveling gold into it.

Something is going to happen / is guarding this much loot, and if we flee, we might as well flee filthy rich.

The party was stuck in a crowd, and strength checks to shove our way past were not working. So my character manifested their wings, picked up the wizard, and flew just above head height.

The wizard, shouting "Don't worry, I am not being kidnapped. This is consensual"
