    Not sure if it counts as a "Nat 1", but here it is: It was literally our first session starting a new campaign. All our characters level one, gathering on a tavern to answer the king's call for adventurers, and we begin to introduce ourselves. It all goes well, jokes being cracked, etc, until it's the sorcerer's turn to introduce herself. You see, she was playing a rather... outgoing character, who decided to show off a little with her magical abilities, and decided to make a little show with fire by casting Control Flames. And then... proceeded to roll a 'Nat 1' on the Wild Magic dice. For those who don't know, rolling a '1' on a d20 for Wild Magic check means it's a Wild Magic surge. Which means she gotta roll on the Wild Magic table. She proceeded to roll ANOTHER natural one, this time on a d100. What does that mean? That means for an entire minute, she would have to roll on the Wild Magic table at the start of her turns. Her very next Wild Magic roll? A 07 on the d100. *FIREBALL* centered on herself. Complete and instant TPK within the very first hour of the campaign. While everyone was still merry and happy in the tavern. Our characters died in the fire, while we, the players, almost died laughing. Seriously, we just couldn't stop laughing for almost ten minutes.

He has a +0 to Wisdom, and a -1 from an old Raise Dead spell. Nat 1. He rolls with inspiration. Nat 1. He rolls with inspiration again. Nat 1. At this point, the entire table is laughing.

    Reverse "seduce the BBEG" situation. The shapeshifting ancient green dragon disguised itself as my PC's love interest. Rolled a Nat 1 on Insight to see if anything was off, ended up having a nice dinner date in which party info was acquired by the dragon. Another Insight check when the cheque comes, another nat 1, and the dragon comes back to his place, stealing a spell scroll of Regeneration. One more Insight check for sanity's sake, nat 1, and my cleric wakes up the next day very confused with a dragon scale on his pillow. We all knew what was going on but I'm not gonna metagame dammit

    My favorite nat 1 moment was while I was the DM. At the start of quarantine I decided to DM a Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask campaign for something for myself, my mom, and my sister to do. At one point they decided to try to slip past some monsters because they wanted to save their strength for the dungeon they knew was coming up. My mom got a nat 1 on her stealth. So instead, she yelled at the monsters "Hey we're gonna sneak past you please don't look over here". Needless to say they looked and initiative was rolled.

I decided to intentionally play my bagpipes terribly to distract the bats' echolocation. I rolled a nat 1. DM said I punctured the bag. I argued that since my intention was to play terribly, that a nat 1 should act as a nat 20, and he agreed.

    Ok imagine if you will: A magical auto shotgun that works by focusing a thunderwave through a mithril tube. Now imagine that you've been blueballed about this weapon for all of two campaigns, wondering if it even exists, being told it doesn't and then hearing hints that it may exist after all. Now imagine it's the end of the second campaign, you're the fighter who's just been handed this beast of a weapon, Doomguy music is playing over discord and you've just burst down a door to a room full of guardsmen. And then you roll a Nat 1 and your weapon jams. I did what I had to do, made up some BS about how the fighter deserved an inspiration for something that didn't deserve inspiration and then the mfucker turned the whole room into a Jackson Pollock painting during his surprise round because I really didn't have all the extra attacks a fighter can make in mind when I built this weapon.

I wanted to see if there was anything worth looting in the room so I rolled a nat 20 perception and found a secret door. I open the door and roll perception again to see what's inside. I roll a nat 1. The DM decided that because I rolled a nat 1 I not only didn't see what was on the other side of the door, I had also forgotten I had even found and opened the door in the first place. Good times

    One of my players has an ability called "gambler's luck." I'll randomly have him roll a 1d2 for good luck or bad luck. which is which changes each time. then he rolls a 1d100 for how extreme the results are. Very first battle, he got a bad luck roll and roll a 1 for extremity. His pants fall down mid fight and he trips and falls. the running joke before we have him roll for his luck now is to ask him if he has a belt.

    Ooh! I have a favorite for this; It was a homebrew game, original world, original classes, original items, etc, and the party had been meeting nearby a large fort that served as the HQ for an army they had hoped to join. They had been helped by one of the leaders of this army, a total badass demon hunter, so they looked to join in for a taste of similar power. They heard the flapping of wings, a roar, and in front of them landed a Byakhee, which in this case was part demon, part dragon, part eldrich horror. This was a juvenile, so nowhere near full power, but they didn't know what to do. The biggest idiot in the party, the barbarian, attempts to intimidate. He rolls a nat 1. He looks into the eyes of the thing and immediately shat his pants. The stench made the whole party lose thier nerve, and immediately after the aforementioned army leader strolls up and introduces the party to his new pet Byakhee, Kita.

I rolled to gather information and see where I could get a license nat 1. I slapped a sign on the ship that said this a fishing boat and called it a day. Another player rolls to disguise the ship another nat 1. Another player rolls a 2. So we ended up disguising our pirate ship as an even bigger pirate ship! XD Thankfully I invested in bluff.

    "Hunter: The Reckoning" game from like 25+ years ago at this point. My hunter had a shotgun, and on the first round of combat, I rolled a critical failure, causing the shotgun to jam. On my next round, I dropped it and attempted to quick draw a pistol, but I rolled a critical failure on that as well. I lost my grip on the pistol, and the momentum from the draw basically made me fling it through the air and off into the distance. So, in two rounds I managed to completely disarm myself, and the comical image of both of these failures happening (especially the gun fling) still makes me laugh to this day.

    I was playing a Gnome Rogue that wielded 2 hatchets, and the party was fighting a group of Kinku bandits. I had just killed one by rolling a Nat 20, decapitating it, when another came running at me; it went to attack, but the DM rolled a Nat 1, and said it tripped and went prone. Excited, I jumped, planning on burying both hatchets into it, but what do I roll? A Nat 1! So the DM said my jump wasn't high enough, and I landed face-first, just inches from hitting it! Talk about extremes! Needless to say, the table erupted into laughter, including me! Good times... Keep up the great work!

    I, as a DM, gave one of my players (Wood Elf Ranger) the Oathbow. He used the oath on a boss, but the boss escaped. So, for the foreseeable future, he was cursed to roll at disadvantage on any attack with the bow against people who aren't his target. You can see where this is going. Within that period of time, the party went in a dungeon and ended up clearing it. It was in that dungeon, however, that the player rolled 2 double nat 1's in a row, and on the next two turns, rolled I believe 1-2 more nat 1's. In that dungeon, he also rolled about 3 nat 1's on acrobatics checks, which he was good at, while a child npc who was with the party at the time straight up wall jumped when he couldn't even hobble xD So yeah, safe to say, he's cursed. He always rolls the most nat 1's lol

    I played my first proper DnD game tonight!!! I've been watching videos on your channel for a laugh and to get a unique idea of what DnD can be like. Tonight was our first session and I managed to roll a 1 on my 2nd time ever rolling. Funnily enough, I didn't even need to partake in the action I did and ended up facing consequences from doing so. We were essentially just riding a carriage from one place to another, and on the carriage were 5 other members from our party. To pass the time, one member pulled out a joint..... And began smoking it. We all had a laugh and I asked if they were okay to to share, which they obliged to. The DM then asked us to roll for constitution. They rolled a 16 and were essentially fine. I was not so lucky, rolling a 1. I blacked out and was unconscious for the entire rest of the ride and the party member who originally shared their sacred herb with me ended up robbing me completely blind. It was a hilarious session, so I have no regrets. But it did teach me a lesson about taking completely unnecessary risks!

    I love these videos and fall asleep to them often, my wife and I are new to dnd and we are in love, our party is awesome and our DM is ALWAYS making sure we are having fun and that its a good challenge for us. We had a great "Mission Failed Successfully" story from our last session. We are in Luskin for our own reasons but our party bonded protecting the boat we sailed in on so we are all sympathetic to eachothers goals. We visited a tavern and one of our rouges noticed a man sitting by himself and looking suspish, turns out he is a master of disguise and we chase him all over the smuggling tunnels underneath the city solving puzzles and tracking him. Tons of fun for the whole party. Well, we get to the secret entrance to a tavern our druid was able to track him to (wildshaped as a direwolf and tracked his scent) and my wifes character (minotaur rouge, Seaodra Stouthoof) sees him insert himself in someone elses conversation. she approches the table wearing her best disguise (tough to disguise a minotaur I imagine) and tries to convince the guy hes talking to to "Go get mama a drink", hoping to clear the table enough to confront him. Roll for persuasion, Nat 1. Crit fail. The guy gets so mad he cusses the both of them out and storms off collecting his friends in the proccess and leaving the bill for our party. Mission failed, successfully. 😂

There was a session where there were only three of them, so they went to the birthday party of a king duck (from one of the players backstory). At the party, the team finds a ghost like Kenku called Hunter that they start pissing off (it happened because they were asking to many questions and he wasn't liking that). Eventually they stop bothering him after noticing he was kinda strong. After that one of the players started dancing and i asked for a performance check (just for fun and to see how go she was gonna damce). Nat 1... She danced so bad that she, without any intention, bumped with the kenku... He killed her by only touching her... It was pretty terrifying for them and pretty funny for me. They ended up reviving her, but now they are affraid of Kenkus.

    I once had a Nat. 1 in my head, as a DM... Long, LONG story short(er), my group was a few years into a LONG D&D 3.5 campaign, where I would give them a reward after each session, based on how well they role-played. They would get some playing cards to divide amongst themselves that gave them 1-time bonuses such as an extra D20 on a skill check, a 1-round damage reduction, a reroll. Stuff like that. Sometimes they would use them, often they would forget about them. At the time of our story, the campaign was culminating in chasing and catching Vecna, the fledging god of Death and Magic. They had followed the trail to a huge circle of standing stones (think Stone Henge x 20), in the center of which was an archaic teleportation circle which led to a small demi-plane that was used by Vecna as a museum of his collectables. Off course, this was explored and ransacked by the players, and they found several discarded old body parts of Vecna, such as his left toe, right ear, etc. etc. All parts which he had lost in fights over the years, had regenerated with magic, but kept as powerful mementos. They discovered that, like the Hand and Eye of Vecna, they could cut of a bodypart from themselves and replace it with Vecna's counterpart, thereby gaining a small measure of his power ÁND protection against his magic (this becomes important later). A few sessions later, a friend of the group expressed his interest in D&D and wanted to join the group. He rolled a character (a Druid I believe), I inserted him in a village they came across, introduced him, and the now larger group continued on their way. After 2 fun sessions, the group had bonded and the new player choose to remain as a permanent member. It was at this time they caught up to Vecna (or rather, his Avatar), and a huge fight ensued. And here comes my Nat.1.... A few rounds into the fight, Vecna declared that the fight bored him, and that he had better things to do. So he charges up for a few rounds for a MASSIVE attack. Imagine an Epic Kamehameha version of Disintegrate, aimed at the WHOLE party. My plan was for the party to discover that grafting Vecna's leftover body parts would provide them enough protection to (barely) survive that attack, and live to run away to fight another day. However, the new player DID NOT HAVE one of those grafted body parts..... I facepalmed myself so hard..... Que the ENTIRE group dumping EVERY card they had collected over that past year on the table onto the new player's character to give him MASSIVE bonuses on EVERYTHING. He got half a dozen rerolls on every saving throws, got double movement for 1 round, could change 1 Nat. 1 into a 20, could speak with animals for 1 round, could charm a salesman to give 50% off on 1 sale, could breathe water for 5 rounds, had his sense of smell improved and many, MANY more buffs which made no sense, but he got them anyway. Suffice it to say, after the blast there was a HUGE hole in the ground, with 1 small, scared Druid kneeling in the middle. Best.Sesion.Ever! Despite my Nat.1

    Funniest nat 1: I was sitting in for our DM while running Rime of the Frost Maiden. The party was in a custom dungeon that the DM made. In one of the rooms were 2 frost giants. Combat was flowing well, until it was time for one of the giants to attack. While trying to hit the dragonborn paladin, the giant rolled a nat 1, causing catastrophic damage to itself. This was how I described it: "the giant's axe glanced off the paladin's shield in such a way, that it lost control of its follow-through and accidentally buried the axe blade deep into its own groin, killing itself." We couldn't play for 3 minutes after that.

We are playing Sword Coast and we're preparing to storm the monastery. During down time, my sister (Kiku cleric for Hermes who is a seeker of knowledge) and I (Human bard) were playing poker. Little backstory I had to write an epic poem for a Town Festival. In character I asked her if she knew any history about the town. DM: roll a history check. My sister: Nat 1. DM: you can't remember anything because you're focused on playing your hand and get really nasty about it. My sister to me (IC): no fucking history lessons, cards now!

    So this was last week. Our first session in a new campaign was chaotic to say the least. Anyways in character, friend 1 was trying to get friend 2 drunk by holding a flask of beer ( it makes you extremely shit-faced after you hold it for atleast 5 seconds ). Friend 2 gets drunk, and friend 1 tries to get me drunk. Friend 2 slapped the flask out of my hands before I got drunk. ( Friend 2 in character is my older brother ) Friend 1 needed to get his flask back before he got the withdraw from the flask ( becoming sober and getting a splitting migraine ). Friend 1 reached for his flask, rolled poorly, and fell on the table knocking it down. Friend 1 tried again to get it, but rolled a nat 1. He fell towards the flask on the ground, getting it, but also causing some damage to himself. Fun times.

    Just played my first session tonight. My party and I were in a tavern having drinks after a successful heist (around 500gp) the BBEG was also in said tavern and a bar fight broke out between my party and the BBEG’s bodyguards. One player is a Dragonborn Paladin and the other is a Human Druid. Because of all the drinking, the Druid would randomly change forms to his animals and he turned into a squirrel because of it. The Paladin asks the DM “can I throw the Druid at the bodyguard?” DM says “make an Athletics check” and the Paladin rolled a Nat 1. We all burst out in laughter and the DM says “you immediately throw your Druid into the ground” followed by the DM saying “Remy (the druids name) make a death saving throw.” The Druid also rolled a Nat 1, but was saved when used Spare the Dying

    My paladin had made a personal rival out of one of the group’s enemies, confronted him and used Detect Thoughts to determine exactly what he was up to, and went on a long intimidating (and rehearsed) monologue about how his days are numbered and I know all and he will receive holy punishment delivered by me personally, so on and so forth. Roll for intimidation, I have +5 on it so I was sure I was fine. Nat 1. 6 with the modifier. Our villain laughs in my face, pats me on the shoulder, and walks out still chuckling. From a narrative perspective, it’s probably for the better that he doesn’t believe we know his plans, but the sheer humiliation my paladin felt was immense.

I was a pyromancer and could cast flames in different ways. we were heading into a dark cavern/dungeon and instead of using a torch i decided it was a great idea to use my fire magic as a light source. i rolled a nat 1 and burned to death. the funniest thing is, i had been telling my group the entire playthrough thus far "its a fire resistance, not immunity". i was a victim of my own catch phrase.

    In my first campaign (still doing it) I am a full plate armour paladin. Now, during a travel through a cavern, the rogue sneaks through past a ton of goblins, making myself, the bard and the cleric have to fight all of them. If this wasn’t annoying enough, he tripped a trap resulting in the bandit water dam leaking and flooding the floor of the cavern, there the other three of us were. Everyone else got over 15 and made it out unscathed, and you guessed it, a 1. So I get hit with 20 metric tonnes of water, almost killing me and leaving me at 1 hp, where I shout to the others “IM STILL ALIVE AHA” then I had to roll to leave the basin, where I rolled ANOTHER ONE. what proceeded to happen was a arrow from a bandit managed to nail me right in the helmet

    D&D 5e. Playing as a Dhampir Tabaxi Rogue. Go to attack an enemy. Nat1. DM rolls on a fumble chart. The rapier he was using breaks. Thankfully, Artificer uses Mending to fix it after the encounter. Fast Forward to last session. My guy is in a sparring match with a female dwarf warrior - safe weapons, as it were. First to 3 strikes wins. She hits my guy. Okay. My guy tries to hit her - Nat 1. Worse than that, DM has me roll again - for a 1! My guy's wooden Rapier breaks, the shaft hitting my guy, and thus, he now has 2 blows against him. Luckily, her next several swings miss, and his wooden shortsword makes its hits. Her father, a former adventurer himself, was impressed enough to give my guy a nice book.

    While not a Nat 1, many instances are had where I roll a "die of divination" (d20) to determine if something exists, happened, etc., and I don't necessarily want to take time or have a way to explain whatever it is. The classic example of mine is, in a more comedic game, "can I roll to see if I clip through the door?" Every die of divination I have ever rolled has been in the realm of 9-12, or unclear. In the above example, "you nor anyone else can attest to whether you did or didn't, but you are regardless on the other side of the door and the door is closed."

    For context: In a previous campaign, my DM let one of the players run a Christmas one shot. The premise was that we had to save Christmas. My character was a dwarf and the rest of the party characters grew up in a dwarven city. Because I'm the only dwarf player in the campaign, the players/DM generally ask me what the dwarves would do. The one shot starts, and immediately I get asked if dwarves celebrate Christmas. Now the premise of this session is that we have to save Santa and Christmas, but instead of answering yes, I decided to let fate decide and rolled for it. Natural 1. Turns out dwarves are Jewish, thus the party lost all motivation to save Santa. Great start to the Christmas one shot.

    I have 2 to share. First. Our halfling bard was pulling out of the game, so they had to come up with a way for the party to kill them. I was playing an Elf Ranger, we had a dwarf warrior, and an elf mage. As we entered a dungeon, the bard revealed himself as and agent fort he bad guy, and shot me with his bow. It wasn't meant to be a lethal shot, and being a ranger, I could see it coming and could dodge. The bard rolled a nat 20. I had to roll high enough, but it was still possible to counter and reduce damage. I rolled a 1. With a critical hit, and critical failure to the dodge, I took 4x damage, and was slain outright, no chance of revival. The rest of the party wanted to continue and not fight the bard, so they managed to grapple him and tie him up to deal with later. The bard managed to break his lamp, soak the rope he was tied up with in lamp oil, and then cast a fire spell at himself. The DM called it there as there was nowhwere for a new character for me to appear during the dungeon, and some of the challenges needed at least three players to get past. Second tale. A one shot event, I was playing a mechagoblin cleric. Our party was climbing a 100 foot cliff accompanied by an outcast from the village at the top. I reach the top first, name the outcast and almost die to the guards, before convincing them that I am fleeing from him (I wasn't). Then our Tabaxi monk arrived with the outcast (a goliath). The monk proceded to prove his loyalty to the village by kicking the goliath off the cliff. Meanwhile, our elf ranger had fired an arrow with a rope to the top of the cliff. Half way up, they rolled a 1, falling to the ground below and getting stunned, lying prone. Then the goliath landed on them, taking them out of action. our fourth player, a Tabaxi fighter, managed to get the goliath off of the ranger and stabilise him. I elected to climb down the rope that the ranger had set up to use one of my healing spells. So I lean out to grab the rope, and roll a 1. 100 feet later, I suffer 48 fall damage. I had 32 health max. And only had 14 health left after being attacked by the guards. Giving 46 total. I insta-died, my mehcanical parts exploding everywhere. Nobody else had any healing, so the two Tabaxi just complete the final task of the mission, (teleporting back to the future) leaving the elf ranger behind, after gathering up all my parts, as they were technology that was not permitted to be left behind. The elf died of old age, and was only 150 to start. My 1 cursed them to live out over 1000 years alone.

    I was the DM for a homebrew game via roll 20, when party came across a ogre and managed to convince him there were there to invite him to a birthday party (Weird because they didn't know, but it was the dad of the little Ogre they threw a birthday for in session 1, 6 irl months prior). Excitedly the Ogre told them to hurry up and ran down the road passed them, telling them to hurry. Kay Oss the Barbarian: "I want to attack him, as soon as he has his back to all of us." This caught me off guard, so gave him advantage to hit. He missed. The Wizard somehow rolled a high persuasion to convince the Ogre it was just a dropped hammer. The Ogre told them to hurry up and turned back round. Kay: "I attack him again!" Double Nat1 and after a solid minute of uncontrolled laughter by me, and a few dice rolls, I told Kay his war hammer slipped out his hands and he hit the monk 20ft away. He rolled max damage, which was the only damage Kay dealt that session.

    I didn't initially think of this story as a nat 1 story, but here it is. My group is a group within a school DnD club, so we're reworking things to continue our campaign into the summer. This was our DM creating a scenario to whisk our characters off into a new campaign, because this one was getting kinda stagnant but we're all attached to our characters. I missed the session right before this one, so I'm not totally sure how we got here, but here goes nothing. This campaign is a homebrew pirate style campaign, basically we got a boat and went island hopping for various reasons after getting stranded in an archipelago. We're a party of a bard, two rouges (assassin, arcane trickster), two warlocks (idk anything about warlocks. I think something about fiends?), a fighter, and an artificer. So we're back in the starting town after finishing a dungeon, just milling about. My character, along with two others, are at the inn. Two others are shopping, and I'm not sure what the final character was doing. I don't know why or how, because I wasn't there, but the party got into a conflict with some dude who summoned a Kraken down on this tiny island town. So the townspeople are freaking out and running away, and we're all just kinda standing there while the DM asks if there's anything we do in the 10 seconds before it reaches us. We'd just gotten to level 5, and my character is a Drow, so I cast darkness on it to try to blind it. (It lands but doesn't do anything because Krakens have True Sight). And then time's up and we roll initiative. One of our warlocks goes first, casting mirror image to make three clones of himself. He cast another spell, but I don't remember what it was other than it just did minor damage to the Kraken. The other warlock (who is canonically 8) goes next, summoning a tentacle (we've affectionately named it the "hentacle") and orders it to attack. It misses, and so does the following eldritch blast. The artificer's turn comes up, and he gives the dragonborn fighter an experimental potion, which comes up on the ability to fly (60 ft per turn) for 10 minutes. Awesome, as the fighter already knew he couldn't really do much to the Kraken and had brought up the idea of running back to the tavern and taking alcohol to pour on the Kraken and light it on fire. Hold onto that idea. Then he enchants? his weapon to deal poison damage and lands a hit on the beast. So the Kraken's turn is next, hitting the first warlock, my character (Drow rouge), and the fighter. It hits one of the warlock's clones, but the other two of us get grappled. It's my turn, and I crit fail a strength check to get out of the grapple. Luckily our DM is nice and didn't make me get squished. Then the other warlock player remembers that he never used his character's familiar to attack. So the DM lets him roll for it. His familiar is a pseudo-dragon whose attack poisons if you fail a con save. This pseudo-dragon's poison makes you fall unconscious if you fail by 5 or more and the time spent unconscious varies by how much you fail by. So the attack lands and the DM rolls for the Kraken.... Nat 1. The Kraken is now unconscious for 1 hour unless it takes damage. So everyone starts booking it into town to grab all the alcohol we can to stuff into and on the Kraken. Except my character, who first throws 100 ghost berries into its mouth before running off. So our DM calculates the number of barrels one player could grab in 58 minutes worth of turns, not per person because that would be too many even for the absurdity we were already dealing with. We end up 2 minutes before the beast is set to wake up. Our fighter's breath weapon is fire, and he's been waiting for this basically all session. His character walks up to Kraken, unconscious and laying on beach, stuff to the brim and covered in alcohol, and just yells at the top of his lungs "FUCK YOU!!!!!!" while using his breath weapon. Our DM pauses the session to calculate damage, and apparently the dice rolling bot we got cannot handle 1600 dice rolls at once. By the end, the fire, which she treated as fire bombs I believe, and the 9 crit con fails for the berries, totaled 1245 damage. BOOOOOOMMM Our characters just look as this hulking beast bursts into flames, killing it instantly. As the flame erupt from the Kraken, they see that the mountains, the town, and the entire island is engulfed in flames as they are taken by a God into another realm. Everything goes dark. And then the warlocks spend a couple turns trying to counterspell a god to let the stay. It was an absolutely amazing session and end to campaign. We're now working things out schedule wise and getting ready for a new campaign. Our DM has started working on the next campaign being an amnesia arc, where our characters lose all but one memory in the world, with triggers for different characters regaining different memories. I'm really looking forward to it!

The aarakocra picked up his d20 and rolled it again to grab the guy and rolled a Nat 1 that was followed by immediate silence created by utter disbelief. I then detail how this guy does one of the most beautiful dive bombs of all aarakocra history. Perfect aerodynamics and accuracy. But how in his divebomb he went so fast that he didn’t have time to raise his arms to tackle the guy. When he came to, the aarakocra was face first suffocating due to the lack of air on the inside of this other guys lung due to the fact that he just impaled this guy and is now nose deep in his ribcage

    I once played a table top RPG that an old friend of mine set in my own city during a zombie apocalypse. We played as ourselves and were given certain abilities that affected our game play. I chose an ability where I could ommit putting a physical damage counter on the table to track my damage as long as I wasn't called out on it by the DM. Also instead of dice we used a Jenga tower for checks; how hard an action is determines where we can take the block from and if the tower falls we fail the check. My "rolled a one" moment was when I failed to do a check to jump a 3 foot fence took 1 damage which resulted in my death(I basically had 1HP left). At the next turn, I pointed out to the DM that I did not place any damage counters for my character, thus I was still alive. The ability was called "b*tch I'm Jesus"

    I have two stories: 1)not mine, but a friend's. He was playing a DND game for the first (and the last because of it). He cleared the dungeon and went towards the exit. While leaving the dungeon he ran into a "random event" that DM put around the place. Rolled nat1, his character tripped, fell, hit their head on the stone and died on the spot. 2) not exactly nat1, but interesting combination of rolls. I was playing one shot homebrew dungeon raid campaign. The game was mostly about the curses and when when party got to the boss we had a fox beastman air mage, anthro dragon warrior and small, basically classless kobold (the lizard variation, close to dwarf fortress cutebolds) The party decided to distract the dragon boss by throwing a Kobold into his face as a combo move. Mage rolled low Warrior rolled low Kobold rolled 19 or so. DM: "the warrior failed to throw the screaming Kobold far enough and mage, while helping the Kobold to reach the boss, missed the face and kobold hit the leg of the boss, immediately grabbing it as hard as she can!" The boss was distracted. But only for that turn, which obviously wasn't our plan.

    Not DND but Call of Cthulhu Modern. I was playing a retired championship boxer that took an invite to an art exhibition as a way to "soften" my usual tough guy persona. The other members of this horror show were a famed archeologist, a small-time actor whose biggest credit was "that one guy in that one episode in that one show everyone knows", and a stoner who just got hired on waitstaff. I won't bore you with the story too much here. When we started, I realized the stats everyone rolled left me with the only physical character in the group so I thought I would be crucial to our survival at some point. Once we were trapped, we tried to find an alternative route out of the exhibit and came across a locked door towards the back of one of the floors. The archeologist pulled out a pair of lockpicks (that he thought to pack in the toolkit he brought to an art exhibit) and started working at the lock. No luck. Then the actor decided to give it a shot as he had a skill for that. Still nothing. So, I asked to give it a try. I was asked by the GM if I invested in that type of skill and I told him "As I get handed the lockpick, I gonna try to kick the door in." So, the goal in CoC is to roll low on most occasions and as my idea was to play a tough meathead, I invested a lot in melee and athletic attributes. I roll the percentile dice and in the first active roll I have in the game, I get a 100 (a zero and a double zero) which is like the CoC equivalent of a Nat 1. I go for the kick, misjudge the placement and tear my ACL to shreds. For the rest of the game, I had a major wound on my character sheet as he limped around trying to run from unspeakable horrors. I even got the archeologist inadvertently captured as he tried to find a crutch for me. But in the end, I did become crucial to our survival as the dice paid me back with an extreme success and max damage to shoot the villain point blank in the face.

    I was playing a shadow sorcerer for a one shot using point-buy for stats. We were fighting a small hoard of swamp monsters that all ducked underwater at the end of their turn. I asked the DM if I could roll an intelligence check to see if using fireball could hit enemies fully submerged (if the sphere of the spell extended into the water). Thanks to my min/maxed character with an intelligence score of 8, I ended up with a 0. The best part part off the story is that I tried again my next few turns for frost, lightning, thunder, acid, and poison damage since I had the transmuting spell metamagic. All of these also ended with a total of 0. That's six (almost) consecutive nat 1s in one sitting. I even swapped dice a few times. To my character, the surface of the water was an impenetrable plane that would block any magic that I could throw at the enemies fully submerged underwater. I don't think he even took a single step into the water, or touched it at all. He also may have gotten a mild case of hydrophobia.

    a new player joining our campaign as a drunk paladin. As we walk up a dirt track someone noticed a trap up ahead. The paladin steps up and says "can I roll to set the trap off to keep us safe? I think this might impress the group and help them trust and accept me" I agree he can try. 1. "not only do you fail to set the trap off you fall down beside it looking the opposite way and vomit. Rest of the group walk on the grass beside the trap to avoid it while he slurs "Did i do good guys?"

    I was the DM, the barbarian decided to try to open a door by kicking it in, rolled strength check and got a nat 1. I ruled that he miss judged the distance and was to far away so when he did hit the door with his foot it caused him to hyperextend his knee so he did not kick the door in and was now hobbling around in pain. The rogue went to check if the door was locked, rolled decently high. Me "You notice the door is actually a pull door".

    My funiest nat 1 was during a raid ona wereboar lair. Our party just got silver to put on our weapons so we could damage the enemies. First fight, nat 1 on the veyr first attack. My axe flew accross the corridor and into a room. Being a dwarf warrior it took me the length of the fight to retrieve it and on my way I relized that my axe flew into the kitchen so with my friends we jocked about having killed the wereboar cook. Our DM, a stricked by chill guy, gaves us the satisfaction of our joke becoming real. And this is how I killed a weraboar chef by rolling a nat 1.

    Rolled a 1 to save versus aging, so ended up playing dementia, a sore back, and a failing bladder until someone found a wish scroll lol. I think the highlight was when I came down the inn stairs and the group asked me if I was going to wear pants that day. 😆

    I was playing DragonBorn Warlock when my fellas and I arrived in a new town by wagon. I decided to look outside to see if I could find any taverns for us to rest. The GM gave me advantage on a Perception check and I proceeded to take two nat 1s in a row. The GM narrated that my character, Freya, "decided to stick her head out and was suddenly knocked out by another wagon traveling in the opposite direction." I was unconscious for 30 minutes without a tavern that night.

    Not me, but another player. She was playing a College of Lore Bard (don't worry, not horny). In my group, we have a rule where whenever we roll a nat 20/nat 1, we "pop" it. What this means is we roll it again, and if we get the top 5/bottom 5 numbers for a 20/1 respectively, it counts as a crit/botch. Otherwise, it's just a normal success/fail. Anyway, we were in combat and the bard rolled TWO NAT 1s to hit with her rapier. So she swung, and not only missed, but flung her rapier far away and possibly off a cliff. She lost her only weapon, and had to resort to spells until she found a sword of wounding later down the line. She went two sessions without a weapon.

    My favourite NAT 1 story is: My friend was set on killing this goblin trader. He was a part of the party and we got the DM to role play him. So my friend hadn't rolled perception to see what he could do but he decided to cast a fire ball, magic missile type spell. NAT 1. He cast the spell and it hit a magic force field and smashed him right in the face. He was then blind for the next ten rounds (we had like 3 people so 30 turns

    I had one where my group was investigating a crime that had happened at a mansion. I was roleplaying a fairly greedy character that was always looking for valuable items that he could justify taking. Not like he would grab everything he saw, but if something was valuable enough he would try to justify taking it. Anyway he rolled a 1 and decided that some drapes were made of pure gold and stole them. Then reached the library and saw some books that were valuable in these glass cases. They were banned books so that was all the justification I needed to take them. Asked the thief if they thought they could break into the cases, they rolled really low and thought they could, then they rolled to see if they found any traps and rolled low again so they didn't find any. I even tried to get out of it and rolled to see if I thought there would be anyway that the guards would know that we were the thieves, I rolled a 1 myself. So we broke into the first safe, of course we set off the trap, the DM rolled to see how bad it was and rolled a 1 herself. It set off all the traps in the room, basically blew the entire room up and set everything on fire. Some of the books were still okay since it was lightning traps, but lots of fire. I was a fire elemental so I proceeded to roll to see if I thought I could get the books out, rolled a 1. So there I was diving into the fire trying to grab books, nearly died. Finally I dive out of a window holding a couple of valuable books, only for the guards to have arrived due to the fire. They took the entire party in for questioning and I stuck to my guns the entire time. I was only trying to save the books and there was definitely no way the guards could know that we had been trying to steal the books, I knew this for a fact because I had asked and rolled before we ever tried to steal anything. The DM ended up making us pay for damages and turn over the books. It was still a great session though.

    New campaign. Our party is tasked with protecting the guard informer from the retaliation by a pirate captain who was coming for her with the crew. After pretty tough fight (pirates rolled really well on Initiative) I menage to land the killing blow on the captain. After combat ended informant gave us what we needed and started leaving. Now... my character whole thing is dream to be famous so I yell after her "Wait! If anyone asks, tell them Raiel'Sur was one that killed captain Dead Eye!" roll persuasion, Nat1. So she replied with "Yea... sure". I roll insight. Nat1 again. "Perfect! She will definitely tell everyone. First steps to fame"

    We were in a homebrew 1910s supernatural apocalypse setting, my best friend was the dm. We were in a crypt full of zombies. I had been getting crappy roles all night. Suddenly I get a critical failure when I try to shoot a zombie with my enchanted revolver that does fire damage. My gun explodes. I’d had it at this point. I pulled out my other revolver to shoot myself and rolled another critical failure. Bad, right? Nope, best thing ever. The bullet went over my head, hit the zombie next to me, ricocheted off the wall, and proceeded to kill every zombie in the room. It is a legendary story in my group to this day.

    We're playing in a Norse mythology themed campaign (stopping Ragnarok), and my Warlock decided he wanted to try to figure out what was up with Yggdrasil.....Rolled a Nat 1 on an Arcana check. My GM and I both know quite a bit of Norse mythology, so she decided that instead of not having a clue as to what it was......I understood TOO MUCH about how it works. A combination of information overload and actually comprehending something that a mortal mind was not meant to, nor actually capable of comprehending. (I think we agreed to call it something like a poly-dimensional quantum latticed wormhole manifold or something like that) Lol I was just like "Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. That's not....nope nope nope" for about 3 minutes of irl time, and the other characters legit had to drag my character through the branches until we reached our destination for that part of the quest.

    This was a campaign in the Mothership system. I played an android who's goal was to get miners returned to safety. When we entered the office to the mining installation, a crazed worker charged us. He was quickly subdued, but one player felt the miner should be unconscious so he injected him with a sedative. After a quick chat, we realized we needed information from the NPC so the same player pulled out a "combat stimulant" and woke him up. That NPC was having a bad day. Upon waking up, the miner started attacking the group. My personal directive required that this employee survive. Unable to get the attention of the entire party, I feel it's best to chuck a grenade off to the side and shock people into compliance. GM: "Roll for attack". Nat 1. GM: The grenade slips out of your hand and rolls into the center of the group. The GM looks me dead in the eyes and says "Everyone is in range. Roll for damage". I roll max damage. 100 points. Party wipe. Everyone was dying laughing. Luckily.

The Gnome who, after being insulted by a local politician, tried to douse him in water, he gets a nat 1 and casts fire instead, burning down the mansion of the mayor... And he didn't get caught. Then he did it again on purpose this time at an Insane Asylum. And he still didn't get caught.
