  • From the 2012 campaign:
    • Spoony's recounting of "The Greatest Swordsman in the World." A single boast by Tandem the Spoony pisses off the wrong guy, a dedicated sword specialist, who felt his honour was sullied. He challenges Tandem to a duel to first blood - he botches, losing his sword, as Tandem gets a crit. He concedes, but follows Tandem around, asserting his boast around powerful fighters in hopes to get him killed. However, he wins every battle, even managing through luck and guile to defeat a gigantic, tree-wielding gladiator by crippling his primary arm and finishing him off with Death by a Thousand Cuts. The gobsmacked specialist never bothered him again. Doubles as a Funny Moment.
    • Linkara's critical shot on the ogre like monster and the result are quite awesome, even if the resulting death was not his intention.
    • The party slays a would-be party slayer, a black dragon, with Tandem stabbing it in the spine, Linkara's character hitting it in the same place with an arrow, and the team wizard striking the wound with lightning. On top of that, none of them were injured in the conflict and the DM had intended for them to retreat and come back with reinforcements.

  • From the 2014 game:
    • Roo turns a 10th-level, four-armed Gargoyle into a kitten. Which Linkara then uses his animal handling skills on to tame. And who proceeds to be the sole survivor of the campaign. All hail Fussy Britches!
    • After two sessions of players breezing through, it was quite awesome to see Big Mike finally kill off some players, even if it lead to a Total Party Kill (save one meme-worthy Fussy Britches).

  • The perceived quandary of the 2015 campaign seemed to be a choice between working with a black ops agent of the hard-nosed (and, in the case of poorer folks, mostly apathetic) Alliance and making sure that they don't piss off Adelai Niska (a notorious crime lord who is known for killing those who have wronged him in ruthless, painful, and creative ways. The crew doesn't really have to put too much thought into it: they side with Niska, and lead the Alliance agent to his death more-or-less guilt-free.
    • This campaign gets bonus points for the simple fact that it really couldn't have gone better for the players. They formulated plans that worked pretty much perfectly (they boarded an Alliance cargo ship without a scratch or even meeting the opposing crew face-to-face), their rolls were solid (Dr. Holocaust rolled so well that he successfully bluffed Adelai Niska AND an Alliance commander), and not one of the ship's crew got trapped with Roo in his bunk.

  • From the 2016 Scion livestream:
    • One of the players attempting to convince a Yakuza to turn a new leaf on life... and thanks to Big Mike's horrible luck with the dice, succeeding splendidly!

  • From the 2017 Con-Bravo Star Wars: Roleplaying Game game:
    • The players managed to scam a base full of stormtroopers into believing their Chiss team member was Grand Admiral Thrawn, then blew Thrawn up when he actually showed up. Repeat: THEY BLEW UP GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN. And stole his art.

  • From the 2020 Charity Live Stream Power Rangers game:
    • The main intent of the Stream is to raise money for both Direct Relief & the NAACP. Their initial goal was One-Thousand Dollars, but reached that within the first quarter of an hour, so they decided to raise the goal to Three-Thousand Dollars, which they then reached that Two Hours later!
    • Nash being able to get the Big Bad's entire army to make a Heel–Face Turn through The Power of Rock!
    • With help of the Donations giving them Genre Points, the team was able to take down the Big Bad in literally one blow, in their first outing as Power Rangers!
