Death Alley Race!
A few weeks ago I was part of a fantasy based LARP event. My first day there someone gave me a bunch of advice and a tour.
The first bit of advice was “follow zombie apocalypse rules: never go anywhere alone or too dark to see.”
There were some other bits but I cant really remember them :P
When the tour came about they pointed down one of the roads that lead to some hidden section...

Tales from the Zoo: Sacred Line

It’s a zombie survival larp, and the weekend events are always full of great stories I will cherish for the rest of my life.

"Bite me." "DIE."
Another time we were playing AD&D (2nd edition) and the characters were summoned before the infamous Lord of the North (whom the PCs had heard a lot about but had never met, he was a serious badass in our world’s meta-geopolitical game).
So as the Lord of the North is basically acknowledging that the PCs could be somewhat useful to him, our ranger decides to get lippy with him:
