Reading your threads for hours on end. Breaks everyone.

This leads me back to an old campaign where we
>cut a guy's face off and threw him into a magical healing spring. Though to be fair he was a serial killer
>jammed immovable rods into an imp's wings
>sawed a guy's arm off with a shuriken and made him out slave

I always attempt to make my games well executed, though I never really got to torture anyone so I would not know about that one.

We nailed an immortal to the sky, once, using immovable rods carved into spikes.

Excessive, maybe, but to be fair the guy had been hounding us for fucking months and wouldn't get the message.

Tortured a family by making the parents choose which of their children I'd execute in lieu of killing the entire family. When they picked I spared the kid and made sure he knew he was the parent's least favorite.

I wouldn't exactly call it inventive but I briefly had a DM into giant rapists fucking human and elven women to death. As you can imagine that bombed pretty quickly.

But you still at least killed one of the other children instead, right? Or did you kill everyone else?

I killed their uncle (the husband's brother) when he tried running away. The rest of the family knew I wasn't fucking around.

Tying the torture targets to the waterwheel of a watermill,

Covering targets in honey and ants.

Dangling them from a high cliff.

Playing it like jiggsaw in an autistic"game".

>reminding me of that pic

You ruined my fucking day OP. Ruined my fucking day...

You people are all so adult, so mature, wow.

More seriously if your characters don't debate and seriously consider every human/equivalent life they are about to snuff out you're an edgelord and a shit roleplayer as well.

We kept on using magic to make her bigger and bigger. We were in a cave so after a couple of turns she couldn't walk, next turn she started begging for us to stop. It took four more turns before she died.

...

There was something about an orc and us needing information. I was a gardener conscripted into the army. I got on a mask, goggles, and gloves and pulled a seed out of a bottle with tweezers. Told some story about an island called Carveth that was completely devoured by an invasive plant species. Once the plants touch water they dehydrate whatever surface they're on, as the roots spread within seconds. The Carveth Weeds could drain a person of blood in a few minutes as their veins would be filled with brambles. I then proceeded to attempt to attach the seed to the orc's eye, which got him babbling somewhat.
There's no such thing as Carveth Weeds.
Another player later repeated the process for new info and at the end, popped the seed into his mouth and ate it.

>if your characters don't debate and seriously consider every human/equivalent life they are about to snuff out you're an edgelord and a shit roleplayer as well.

It's really only the first time that's difficult. Less so if you haven't bought into the western idea that literally every life is sacred.

I remenber you from some thread long ago, weren't you playing a drow ?

>guys not talking
>we need info
>look at all our googaws and gadgets for ideas
>belt of gender change we've been lugging around
>turn guy into grill
>have magic wielding PC "heal" "her" vag so she has an imperforated hymen (google dat)
>rape "her"
>"heal" "her"
>rape "her" again
>"heal" "her"
>again and again and again

It worked too.

Oh hey Blood and/or Cheese.

The second. The first time you kill you do so unaware of what it entails. The second time you know the consequences.

There was the time I needed the big bad to THINK we knew where he was keeping his treasure so we could tail him to where it was but all we had were dead mooks.

So we grab the underboss guy, tie him to a chair, and then burn the shit out of him with branding irons except for his mouth and throat.

Then the second mook we burn his legs and one arm then cut the throat. Course they were both dead so we splashed some blood around on the body and covered up the wounds from when we killed them with the burns.

A few bluff checks later the boss finds the bodies and thinks we tortured the information out of mook #2 and runs off to go move the stuff we were trying to steal.

Torture doesn't work, but people thinking you tortured someone sure does.

calking gun up a urethra.

Jesus fucking Christ, that is just downright sadistic.

Injecting caulk into someone urethra sounds horribly unpleasant.

yeah, this was after we got the information. me activating magic (not a thing most people knew was real) and death tapping the guy's buddy's shoulder did the trick.

this just happened because another player decided their character's personality was "abrasive asshole".

Me and a friend of mine actually have a long-standing discussion about a related dilemma.
Would you rather be burned alive or have high-power silicone sealant sprayed into your anus until you burst?
Though it usually just devolves into arguing the specifics of "death by burning", and we've over time opened up that you may get to choose the orifice you get sealant sprayed into.

I know it's incredibly childish, but it's been with us since high school, so it's an injoke at this point.

Huh, for us it was always being stabbed, or drowning.

Indeed I was. It's an old story.

>Iugula the Vile, for his actions during the Battle of Dead Mound, was judged to be executed, revived, executed, revived, executed, with his soul locked into a holy chest so it won't ever reencarnate.

>Gigelorums are microspirits found in nature. It is thought that some ka'aarian druids know how to manipulate them. The sicarcani believe that the death of the notorious hunter Theridamas, caused by an apple tree growing from his intestines, is an example of this.

>The God of Death gets so pissed off at people which sold someone else's soul for devils, thus eliminating that soul from the Cycle of Death and Rebirth, that he makes these poor fuckers die, die and die, always returning into their own bodies, forbidden to reincarnate just as they did so to someone else.

I also once made a gigantic toad that used its mouth for a type of scaphism, with hits tadpole spawn replacing the maggots.

Setting stuff

Conan never did that. And all RPG players are just trying to be Conan but with different little bells and whistles

torture and then death by Vibrator

OP pic is a cutie! :3
Looks like a strangely unconvenient and lacking place for a date/snuggling tho?

Sensory Deprivation is my favorite. Passive so you can do other stuff and it always works.

But, the person's mind will be so shattered by it that they'll never do anything useful again.

Then there's a method I first read about in /srg/ that I want to try. Dripping molten aluminum on someone. Wouldn't do enough damage to kill or send into shock, but will hurt like nothing else and leave horrible scars.

Hoo, the ol' Blood and Cheese trick. Very nasty.

You evil bastard...

>death by Vibrator
How... how does that go?

Punishment for the most serious crimes in a magicratic oligarchy in my homebrew world is being erased from the timeline: do enough horrible magic shit and the Council will make it so you were never conceived. This is necessary: with wizards they have so many contingencies in place that killing them is never enough, you have to make sure they were never able to make such contingencies in the first place. The vote must be unanimous: each member of the 60-member Council must agree that erasure is warranted, and afterwards only the council remembers the original timeline.

But certain promises made by the council are still in effect.

For example, my players came to the table and received, as payment for "services rendered", a significant plot of land within the territory ruled by the council, titles, and an impressive (by muggle standards) castle. But the players had no idea WHY they got it. The adventure was then their exploration of the magocracy and their quest to discover why they were given such a reward. Turns out they had helped capture a major magical threat which got erased.

It was neat.

Pretty well if not a little weird
I can story time it if you want?

Yeah, sure. How bad can it be, right?

Hey, now be fair.
Some of us are trying to be Fafhrd and/or the Grey Mouser.
Some of us want to be Han Solo.

Personally I just want to be Philip Marlow.
>The main hallway of the Sternwood place was two stories high. Over the entrance doors, which would have let in a troop of Indian elephants, there was a broad stained-glass panel showing a knight in dark armor rescuing a lady who was tied to a tree and didn't have any clothes on but some very long and convenient hair. The knight had pushed the vizor of his helmet back to be sociable, and he was fiddling with the knots on the ropes that tied the lady to the tree and not getting anywhere. I stood there and thought that if I lived in the house, I would sooner or later have to climb up there and help him. He didn't seem to be really trying.

Oh my sweet summer child, remain as innocent as you are and consider that picture no further, there is only suffering to be found there if you do.

Tied up a guy, turned him upside down, stuck a funnel in a his arsehole then poured boiling water into it. Made his buddy watch as we did it.
That campaign was kinda lame.

My brother always gets really into torture in RPGs.

One of his characters in a modern crime game, a redneck hatchet-using psychopath, buried a bunch of people up to their necks (in a row) in the Nevada desert. He then proceeded to use a jeep to roll over their heads, popping them one by one, prompting the next one in line for an answer and killing them without further comment until he got the answers he wanted.

Same character, paralyzed a guy and tied a bag full of scorpions on his head before leaving him in the middle of a salt flat (just for fun/revenge).

A different character in a supers game; fought a bunch of regenerating/unkillable mercs. Upon winning the fight, he stripped them naked and impaled rebar into their joints/twisted them into unnatural shapes so they couldn't escape or move and were in continuous horrible pain as their bodies struggled to regenerate.
To this day he can't give me an answer as to why he stripped them naked.

We accomplished more bullying a fallen inquisitor about her family than we ever did with knives, batteries or needles on heretics

> be playing star wars Edge of the empire
> Have crew stuck on ghost ship that is haunted by force spirits (LOTS of All Guardsmen party inspiration here)
> Female member of the party gets possessed by a sith lord and starts wrecking the party laughing manically as she runs throughout the ship that is now trapped in hyperspace thanks to her possessed body destroying the hyperdrive
> Party finally tracks her down and using a lot of force magic defeats her and knocks her out.
>While this had been going on the non force users had built a giant sybian machine that the party put together in order to make her body orgasm so much that the sith spirit would want to leave the body.
> Female player wakes up and finds her body attached and strapped into the machine. The party tries to get the sith ghost to leave her body by violently making her orgasm from her arse and her vagina with vibrators plugged into the body.

>Her body suffers so much stress she passed out in character
>Doctor Character is unable to save her due to failed rolls and his character hating her

...

The big crusading nation in my campaign believes "irredeemable monsters" in the custody of the crusade should be directly sent to their holy lord for divine judgement instead of the usual hanging or decapitation.

The crusade forces the criminal in a triangle on the ground in a town square at a time, then traps it there through means of a Wall of Force. Then, several low-level casters work together to cast and activate a Disintegration spell within the triangle, which obliterates the target bloodlessly and instantly. As long and arduous as this sounds, this is done for many reasons:
>It is flashier and cleaner, perfect for the public to see
>Big-time criminals get big-time punishment
>The church believes their holy lord will administer a fate that goes beyond what an eternity in Hell can do

> Female player wakes up and finds her body attached and strapped into the machine. The party tries to get the sith ghost to leave her body by violently making her orgasm from her arse and her vagina with vibrators plugged into the body.
>This goes on along long time both in character and out of character
>both in character and out of character
holy shit this is some intense roleplay

you know death really isn't that bad when you know for a fact there is an afterlife. Its really not that much of a punishment.

History is full of good examples. I'm partial to the nailing you to a boat with open wounds and rotting fruit and setting you out on a river full of flies.

turning you into a shemale and selling you into sex slavery.

only works if your not already gay though

i mean, honestly, thats pretty much the worse thing you can do to a straight guy, short of killing or mutilating him.

I mean I suppose you could cut off his arms and legs, cut out his eyes and just leave him in a public reststop in a backwater in mexico to be raped until he dies, but whats that compared to a lifetime of suffering at the hands of brutal slavers?

also being forced to eat poop or survive trapped inside a a porta potty. Both pretty brutal.

Didn't the Aztecs do that?

Like Montezuma would sit there after eating spicy chili on his porta-potty throne at the top of the pyramid and shit down a hole while people were forced to try to stay afloat in a narrow shaft until they drowned in a pile of shit?

I thought thats why they called it "Montezuma's Revenge"

I'm just picturing one guy who gets throne in there after they haven't emptied it in a while, who waits patiently, never screaming, never saying a word, conserving his energy until the shaft fills up just enough that he climbs up and bites montezuma's dick off.

What? Don't you people watch the news? Its nothing worse than what those drug cartels do in Mehico.

wow, a completely painless, instantaneous death. real "brutal" there padre.

>A different character in a supers game; fought a bunch of regenerating/unkillable mercs.

>To this day he can't give me an answer as to why he stripped them naked.

brutal.

kinda gay though.

>Same character, paralyzed a guy and tied a bag full of scorpions on his head before leaving him in the middle of a salt flat (just for fun/revenge).

that seems retarded. The bag is going to suffocate you before the scorpions poison does, and the poison would kill you before the salt flats had a chance to.

So who murdered Winona Rider and took her place? Bet it was my cousin i bet...

That's a pretty hilarious comment, since he's literally gay.

I think it was more of an "insult to injury" type thing. Also for the record, the bag was burlap (so I guess it was more of a 'sack').

how much to fuck eyesocket?

Man, you sure know how to clear out a room...

I suppose I could make his own children eat him alive...

but thats just mother nature

Little bastards!
You'd be doing me a favor!

Depends on the person.
Most of these edgelord "oh I cram their butt full of hurty-stuff XD" answers are just whatever some basement dweller thought of as "yeah that's probably the worst" and ends up falling far short of what people think up irl and completely missing the point.

No it doesn't.
This is exactly the sort of shit low brained sadist pukes come up with on a daily basis. Fucking serial killers all think they are geniuses, but you ask somebody, would you rather I kill your whole family in a relatively painless and bloodless manner or would your rather I rape your grandmother in front of you and leave you tied to a chair to burn alive while I set the house on fire?

Which do think is more likely irl, honestly?

Besides, serial killers who come up with elaborate plans always have something go wrong or are unable to go through with it. Its the impromtu and baseless cruelty that allows them to succeed where more careful, more deliverate killers fail.

These people leave evidence all over the scene, they let eyewitnesses escape, they cum in peoples eyesockets while on the sex offender registry with their DNA on file and they STILL don't get caught.

If there were some sort of rational motivation for the killing then it would follow that a rational line of inquiry would (eventually) lead you to the culprit.

Real life serial killers are about 10 times more likely to die of some sort of random violence than they are to receive lethal injection.

these people are not careful.
they are not smart.

fantasy is like porn, when used properly it can be a release valve, but taken to an extreme it becomes an addiction.

And you want to know the real fucking irony?

90% of the time, shit happens cause they can't admit that they are gay.

I mean you're gay! So fucking what? Put on a tutu and some angel wings, snort some poppers and go party! Whats the big fucking deal?

They act like being gay is worse than stabbing a hooker to death 30 times cause "she's a fucking whore."

Just deal with it.
You're gay, buddy.

It's almost like I'm playing a character who has a different moral outlook to my own

I don't even go particularly edgy and I still think you're a fucking faggot for making this argument

So why does Regina Kay Walters trigger all you faggots?

These guys are pussies. I've seen much worse stuff on Ogrish 10 years ago when I was 14.

I'm wondering if there's some story involving Veeky Forums, her story is sad, sure, but no worse than the victim of any other serial killer.

Its the pose, I think.

What about it?

Truly a hero of the people

Hard to describe. Its like that watching a train about to smash into a bus full of babies. It makes you wince before because you know it is going to be chunky salsa soon. That dreadful anticipation is stomach churning, at least for me. Seeing the moment before is so much worse than the picture of the event.

The picture is probably the moment before she was murdered, I assume brutally. Rather just see it and have it be done.

She was strangled, not particularly brutally either, I'm more interested in what happened to her boyfriend as he was never found.

I'm not familiar with the case. BTK is my go-to strangler.

Ha, yeah, I'm not all that familiar with her case either I just got the info with a little google fu.

Whats wrong with this pic?

I see a couple people bitching about it.

Read the whole fucking thread.

The Sperg wizard professor gave his Thesis on spacio-temporal phenomenon and their relation to extraplanar entities and deities.

We led that fucker on so many times in that game.

Any given first name + last name combo isn't particularly uncommon, but even if there's Steve Jobs, murderhobo and Steve Jobs, that guy from Apple, most people won't even mentally connect the two if you call one Steve Nathan Jobs instead.

Not realy torture, but whatever. The party were rebel fighters in a country occupied by lizardmen and Yuan-Ti. We roamed the countryside, killing lizard parols, skinning them, sewing them all together in a giant leather boot and filling it with the chopped up remains as a form of psychologicall warfare. We gained the nickname "The shoemakers"

>not just hanging everyone
What are you, a limpwristed faggot?

Healthy human beings aren't normally willing to do ebin edgy mexican cartel torture, as such I penalize my players if they try without convincing me of a satisfactory reason as to why their characters would do such a thing.

>"Adventurers"
> Healthy human beings
does not compute

the old caulk in the cock

Did I say anything about serial killers, moron?

My whole point was that this thread is all just edgelords thinking they're so smart like you're whining about for serial killers.

Work on your reading comprehension, kid.

And there are just as many if not more people, especially irl in some communities, who tell them that they're evil sinners for being gay and they have a demon in them and must repress no matter the cost and follow god's plan and act out his will.

during a one off my player pretty much cooked this chain demon in a vat of blood using heat metal

I don't think you torture and kill people unless there's something wrong with you on a more fundamental level than repressed sexuality, friend. They were evil sinners all along, it just had nothing to do with gay.
