I know y'all got great stories to share, whether the characters, the DM, the players, the situation, whatever, y'all have stories.

Here's one of my favorites. This would have been 98 or 99, I was living in Boston at the time and in school, and traveled with some friends to Nova Scotia for spring break. I think everything was 3e then, maybe 2e, but I think 3e. And they had this series of class-based handbooks, and the best of all of them was the Thieves Handbook, lots of great subclass specializations, lots of approaches to thief minutia.

So we spend a week in an off-season beach house on the coast outside of Halifax, playing a shit ton of D&D and Teken, and eventually it's time to go back to Boston.

At the border crossing into Maine, the border guard dude sees this book on the dash, The Thieves' Handbook. With a concerned expression, he asks to have a look, and we sit in the car in the snow waiting for like 20 minutes while the CBP dudes (or whatever they were called then) figured out we were just nerds and not multi-national criminals.
