 Binder of Shame
comment
Al Bruno III's series of allegedly-autobiographical stories about the Tabletop Games group he endured throughout his college years. Al himself, known as Ab3 on RPG.Net, is led to the group by his friend Weasley Crusher and rapidly finds himself forced into the role of the Only Sane Man of the group. Arguments, dysfunction, and Total Party Kills abound as they systematically ruin every game they can find, from Dungeons & Dragons to Call of Cthulhu to Rifts.The title of the series comes from the philosophy of the Killer Game Master Psycho Dave: "Every D&D game has many binders but each D&D game must have a Binder of Shame and a Binder of Glory. The player characters that die heroic deaths are saved forever in the page protectors of the Binder of Glory. The characters that suffer, humiliating, soul-crushing deaths go into the Binder of Shame. It's a sign of quality GMing to have a Binder of Shame three times the size of your Binder of Glory."

Dirty Coward
 Binder of Shame / int_1235f055
comment
Ol' Yellowbelly is not a particularly brave individual. While not a Dirty Coward per se, he is not someone who takes well to any of the ways the other people in the group interpret the gaming systems, so much so that the one time he played something reasonable for himself (a Pacifist Druid) his experience is undermined by the other players. It's later revealed he works as a security guard, much to Ab3's confusion.

Another Side, Another Story
 Binder of Shame / int_12d9447
comment
Another Side, Another Story: Zig-zagged, by proxy of another blog series done by Al Bruno III himself known as "Price Breaks and Heartaches." It retold "First Edition: The Prequel" through bits and pieces of "Creep on the Borderlands," which would have brought more insight about the other people in the Dysfunction Junction group. They also showed up in other parts of "Price Breaks." However, as of 2020, "Price Breaks and Heartaches" had been taken down.

Only Sane Man
 Binder of Shame / int_24321e44
comment
Only Sane Man: Ab3 is supposed to be the main person who is the only sane one. Weasly Crusher himself would have been this before Ab3 was introduced to the group, as evidenced by some of his comments in various episodes. With how most sessions went, he was almost always the Token Good Teammate to some extent. Asenath also counts as zig-zagged variant of Only Sane Woman, if one were to discount the fact she often encouraged Deviant Boy; she tried to tell him about her previous relationship with El Disgusto but only got the chance during "Reservoir Torgs," seems to react appropriately to Blobert Smith saying the wrong name in bed when they were a couple, and brought cleaning supplies to one of the tabletop games Collateral Darren was hosting.

comment
Anticlimax: What normally happens within each entry of the Binder of Shame. Oftentimes, it's because Ab3 decided to eject himself from the session completely, and other times it's because the campaign or session of note had to be destroyed in the most simple, efficient way possible. Sometimes, that efficient way leads to an Apocalypse How; more often than not, however, it doesn't.

 Binder of Shame / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Blobert Smith's characters are exemplary of a sincere, albeit misguided attempt to actually try to co-operate with the other players. Some are designed with being the "glue" keeping groups together in mind. However, the way Blobert himself plays gets on the nerves of the other players, who punish him by killing off whatever character he deigns to craft.

comment
Conspiracy Theorist: Part of the Cloud Cuckoo Lander nature in most of the people, with the surprising exception of Johnny Tangent, stems from this: Collateral Darren, who believes resumes are useless except to make the paper manufacturers more money. Distressingly, no one can actually think of any reason why his logic is wrong. Psycho Dave indulges in conspiracies against his would-be foes should they be of a minority or a group against his Neo-Nazi beliefs. This has led to him mocking Ab3's NPCs.

Blemished Beauty: Asenath was a ravishing beauty if you can look past her stunted right arm, which the narrator could not. She boinked the entirety of Ab3's gaming group except for Ab3 himself, even the exceedingly nasty El Disgusto. The trope is thus zig-zagged, since Asenath's beauty was not blemished to anyone other than Ab3.

comment
Noodle Incident: Averted. Initially, some sessions were regarded as "incidents" ("The Damned Treasure of Lord DeGreasy," notably) but have since been divulged on, destroying any ambiguity that said games might have had. While there are still moments of note which could be considered "Noodle Incidents" (such as Weasley's expulsion from college), generally Law of Conservation of Detail is enforced in those situations. Just enough detail is written to explain what goes on, but it's implied there is not much more to the story beyond the aforementioned details.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Binder of Shame / int_3ed23024
comment
A less literal example was the one time Weasly Crusher was the DM. He is much more firm on refusing to let El Disgusto play a ninja compared to the other DMs, is able to improvise when drunk, and the one instance of campaign derailment, which ironically came from Ab3, was met with a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome of Ab3's character being abandoned in favour of getting through the rest of the campaign. While it still goes unfinished and nobody speaks of the Warhammer campaign again (as Weasly got drunk to the point of vomiting), Weasly grew a spine and turned out a better DM than anyone else in the group from just one Warhammer session.

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies
 Binder of Shame / int_454d9422
comment
Ab3 has shown tendencies of Killer GM, though his mannerisms indicate more of a "Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies" method to killing off characters. Given everyone (except Weasly Crusher) deliberately acts as The Millstone to his campaign in comparison to everyone else's, the nature of Ab3's Killer GMing is more him being fed up with people bullying him when he is supposed to be in charge. Most notably, "The Day I Killed The Entire Party Before The First Combat Encounter", Ab3's Killer GMing is best-reflected with an incident involving a character's motorcycle.

It's implied in exposition that this has happened before.

Always Chaotic Evil: Most of the session's player characters are either Chaotic Neutral done specifically be malicious to the GM, which would technically make them Chaotic Evil eventually, or straightforwardly Chaotic Evil simply because they commit heinous acts and have no regard for the law. Because of their active malice, they are not even remotely close to Chaotic Stupid.

Psycho Dave: Given Psycho Dave's personality as a Neo-Nazi, it's implied his Killer GM tendencies are reflective of a Social Darwinist philosophy. Whomever can't keep up with the brutality of the campaign is likely looked down upon in his eyes, especially when he frowns upon there not being difficult things to do when anyone else manages the campaign/session. His departure from the group is indicative that his behaviour grew increasingly sadistic and abusive, with him bringing a shotgun to keep the players playing in his final game. "It's a sign of quality GM'ing to have a Binder of Shame at least three times the size of the Binder of Glory."

Munchkin
 Binder of Shame / int_5105d2a
comment
Munchkin: A majority of the group qualify as Munchkins. El Disgusto wants to play a Ninja with a motorcycle in every damn game he's in, regardless of appropriateness for setting or theme. The type of Munchkin that he represents is "The Troll," as it is heavily implied he does this to ruin the game for everyone else as much as possible. El Disgusto's inflated sense of self-worth have constantly put him at odds with Weasly Crusher and Ab3, both of whom he chooses to bully. Whenever it's El Disgusto's turn to get comeuppance, he tries to Rules Lawyer his way through the problem and, when he can't, says Hastur's name or whines about it. Cheating Bastard has an obvious nickname; as a Munchkin in practice, he was a straight example of "The Cheater." He attempted to downplay his blatant cheating by engaging in Gamebusting and RulesLawyer-ing, whenever possible. When he was exposed as a cheater to the rest of the group in a game of Talisman, he was outright told he had to change his ways or else he was not allowed to game with the group anymore. Cheating Bastard chose to be kicked out. Whenever he was a player and not the DM, Psycho Dave's characters were straight examples of the "Psychopath" and "Murderhobo" Munchkin archetypes. Collateral Darren is a Downplayed example of a Gamebuster Munchkin. The one time his Munchkinry is brought up is when he's introduced as having a "natural talent" for breaking Point-Buy systems, so he is also an implied MinMaxer.

Sanity Slippage
 Binder of Shame / int_62434fe2
comment
Sanity Slippage: Psycho Dave gradually goes even crazier, somehow. He starts off as being a decent GM who can be pretty affable for a Neo-Nazi, and then proceeds to degrade into a gibbering Killer Game Master completely consumed by his white supremacist views and obsession with Star Trek, culminating in him threatening everyone with a shotgun.

Hair-Trigger Temper
 Binder of Shame / int_63b02752
comment
Hair-Trigger Temper: El Disgusto's temper flares up at perceived slights at the beginning. These moments culminate in spiteful aggression towards Ab3, the only person to normally be defiant with his ninja characters (on principle of them being the only type of character normally played). Said temper is exacerbated after "Reservoir Torgs," where it's learned exactly how bitter he is about his injury, to where he perceived the phrase "cut off" as a jab against him.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 Binder of Shame / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: "What Do You Mean You Lost My Wife's Kidney?" focuses on Ab3 and his wife handling her first pregnancy. Most of the gaming regulars from the other First Edition entries barely feature in it at all. In "The Good, The Bad, and The Feces," the entry centers around Ab3 testing out a different group, only to cause a problem with one of the other people's toilets and feel guilty about it. Later, he realizes that the plumbing in the house has had to be fixed numerous times when he goes back to apologize to the present Game Master.

Soapbox Sadie: Comments made by group members imply they saw Ab3 as "Mister Politically Correct." Downplayed with Blobert Smith. His attempts at parlance with Johnny Tangent and Psycho Dave devolved into this, but the people he was talking to were radically conservative to a fault.

Meaningful Name
 Binder of Shame / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: The nicknames Ab3 gives everyone else are appropriate for the respective people he attributes them to: Ol' Yellowbelly is not a particularly brave individual. While not a Dirty Coward per se, he is not someone who takes well to any of the ways the other people in the group interpret the gaming systems, so much so that the one time he played something reasonable for himself (a Pacifist Druid) his experience is undermined by the other players. It's later revealed he works as a security guard, much to Ab3's confusion. Collateral Darren was named after his Champions character "Collateral Damage." Psycho Dave's main personality traits are his bedwetting, his pyromania, and his Neo-Nazism. It's implied his abusive behaviour during a session he was GMing led to fallout between him and the other players, though this has so far happened offscreen. Cheating Bastard's modus operandi is spelled out for everyone. El Digusto is mostly named for his extremely poor hygiene, which has indirectly been responsible for Ab3's "rock bottom" moments of gaming. Deviant Boy is a shameless pervert who twists anything into something related to sex. Blobert Smith is a Type-II diabetic who refuses to let his condition stop him from eating unhealthily, which is assumedly the reason he's "a Goth of size" enough to be referred to as "Blobert." Weasley Crusher is a fan of Star Trek.

Killer Game Master
 Binder of Shame / int_6ea95fc4
comment
Killer Game Master: Everyone gets their turn, but the two commonmost Killer GMs are: Psycho Dave: Given Psycho Dave's personality as a Neo-Nazi, it's implied his Killer GM tendencies are reflective of a Social Darwinist philosophy. Whomever can't keep up with the brutality of the campaign is likely looked down upon in his eyes, especially when he frowns upon there not being difficult things to do when anyone else manages the campaign/session. His departure from the group is indicative that his behaviour grew increasingly sadistic and abusive, with him bringing a shotgun to keep the players playing in his final game. "It's a sign of quality GM'ing to have a Binder of Shame at least three times the size of the Binder of Glory." Ab3 has shown tendencies of Killer GM, though his mannerisms indicate more of a "Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies" method to killing off characters. Given everyone (except Weasly Crusher) deliberately acts as The Millstone to his campaign in comparison to everyone else's, the nature of Ab3's Killer GMing is more him being fed up with people bullying him when he is supposed to be in charge. Most notably, "The Day I Killed The Entire Party Before The First Combat Encounter", Ab3's Killer GMing is best-reflected with an incident involving a character's motorcycle.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Psycho Dave (an actual Neo-Nazi), full stop. His political incorrectness is portrayed as serious as possible, to highlight how utterly banal of a person he is. Deviant Boy is regularly defined by his unironic worship of the Gor novels and by his lowkey misogyny. One conversation also hints at how he makes a point to regularly disparage homosexual people.

Dysfunction Junction: The entire damned group, including Ab3 himself. The primary reason he stuck by them is because he had "crappier friends" and "crappier pasttimes" which were more expensive to partake in, meaning his social options were virtually nonexistent. It takes a chance encounter with Annoying Girl to make him realize he can do better.

Pun: Puns are frequently used for titles of various entries. Puns are also commonly used in dialogue between the various dramatis personae. An exaggerated example is when The Amazing Boozehound became "Rehab Boy" for a while, and he would repeatedly make these in a futile attempt to be funny. It annoyed Ab3 such he yelled at Rehab Boy about it.

We Are "Team Cannon Fodder"
 Binder of Shame / int_8d720fd1
comment
We Are "Team Cannon Fodder": One of the stories tells of a game where the entire player party were this, being little more than valets to Dungeon Master Biff Bam's GMPC Dick Marvil, who is introduced to them all by pulling a Big Damn Heroes and snapping the necks of a bunch of nightgaunts that were about to Total Party Kill them. Though the players were at first happy for the assist, it became quickly evident that they were never going to get to do anything except stand around and watch Dick Marvil take care of everything himself. This leads to Ab3 rebelling against the game (and getting wrestled into submission by Biff Bam). In another story, El Disgusto runs a game with a GMPC of his own, which is naturally a ninja. Ultimately it turns out the player characters' only goal in the game was for one of them to prove themself worthy of the ultimate honor... of holding said ninja's scabbard for him while he went off to solo-fight the Big Bad.

Token Good Teammate: Zig-zagged with Blobert Smith, who has objected to the more toxic behavioural quirks exerted by the rest of the group. He occasionally ends up not being a particularly outstanding gentleman himself, however. Weasly Crusher is at minimum considered one of the "least incident-prone" people Ab3 has gamed with; he comes off as well-meaning, but ultimately a rather passive and defeatist individual on the whole.

Laser-Guided Karma: Collateral Darren's exits out of each campaign are commonly the result of him being arrested for something, to where the police recognize the tabletop group that he is a part of. In spite of his constant game-busting antics, Cheating Bastard has also gotten his fair share of comeuppance. In fact, the rest of the group expel him after they find out he was cheating at a game of Talisman, which only happened because he provoked Blobert Smith into tackling him to the ground.

comment
Faux Affably Evil: Psycho Dave. At the start of Ab3's tabletop adventures, Psycho Dave was seen as someone who, while eccentric, was relatively decent at GMing. When the session proper actually starts, it's made known that Psycho Dave is a white supremacist by The Amazing Boozehound. While during the first game Psycho Dave seemed to be affably awful, the facade was dropped in every other session since. On top of this, nothing about Psycho Dave's Neo-Nazism is regarded as comical, and most of the other members of the group actively supported it with their own bigotry.

Greater-Scope Villain: In the First Edition, it was implied to be Psycho Dave. When his presence from the group is no more, the tabletop group as a whole begins dwindling, up until the finale, where Ab3 departs. It's noted in Second Edition that most of the time spent with Psycho Dave and the others was almost exclusively told in flashbacks, with Ab3's later experiences not being remotely as bumpy. What ultimately stops Psycho Dave from being the Big Bad is that he was the first person to disappear from the First Edition group, out of boredom with everyone else. Even with him gone, the way he GMs influenced the remainder of the group in a fashion where Deviant Boy and El Disgusto tried to emulate it in their respective campaigns.

Gratuitous Ninja: El Disgusto will adamantly insist on playing a ninja no matter the game or it's setting, even if it makes no sense. Even when forced not to play a ninja, he still creates characters that play and act like ninjas. The one time he was not allowed to play a ninja and did not act like a ninja is memorable because he essentially played as a parodied version of Ab3, entirely to piss him off.

The Friend Nobody Likes: Played with, in a fashion. The group is kept together entirely by the fact they could only find games with each other, and that the individuals involved only cared about doing tabletop games simply for the sake of not being bored. They all have major control issues in their lives, which they take out on each other. Furthermore, exposition implies they cannot be fully rid of each other due to the small population of Albany's gaming scene. Ab3 was not liked by a majority of the group. The way the other group members all speak suggested they only tolerated him because of his being within proximity to them, with many additionally pitying him. In some situations, they also need something from him, even if it's just his ability to DM a campaign. On his end, Ab3 regarded the group as his only good social contact and tried to make the most out of his time with them, even going so far as to over-share about his personal life to his acquaintances. They fabricate lies about themselves and watch Ab3 fall hook, line, and sinker for each of them. Eventually, the fabrication is revealed and he is suitably outraged by how one-sided his dynamic is with them. Weasley Crusher's status as an Extreme Doormat was ruthlessly exploited by the other tabletop group members, where his characters would almost always be killed off first. It's implied he was regularly considered The Load, when not being used by the tabletop group to get pizza or be a roommate to someone within it. On Weasley's end, he might have had the exact same issues as Ab3 where the tabletop group he was gaming with happened to be his only good social contact. Psycho Dave was only ever tolerated because he was the main person DM-ing the campaigns. Abuse and Fear were what he used to keep people in line whenever he was masterminding his sessions, but eventually he wound up overdoing it on both. El Disgusto has been implied to know when a game is played in Albany, and he had a time where he was ruining a game every day after high school. The basis of A Pinch of Assault was to attempt to have a session without him in it. While the group succeeded in not having El Disgusto play a ninja, he still finds where the game is happening. It's implied Ab3 has known El Disgusto for a long time when Collateral Darren asks why they bicker so much, and his remarks about Ab3 and Weasly Crusher being "newbies" in "Creep on the Borderlands" suggest he was one of the gaming group's founders. It's implied Cheating Bastard's joining of tabletop sessions was entirely so he could one-up everyone else around him. While he contributes by introducing others to Biff Bam, and by helping set up a custom homebrew RPG system when the others were having negative feelings toward D&D, Lords of Creation, and Call of Cthulhu, he also takes more than he gives. On the flip-side, everyone else questions his dice-rolling methods and begins suspecting he's cheating with the kind of characters he makes. Blobert Smith is a subversion of the trope - while he was disliked by the group for his "performance art" being excessive, he is implied by casual exposition to have regularly hosted Live-Action Role-Playing sessions in his parents' basement before it become prohibited to do so. He has also banned the tabletop group from said basement, at some point during "The Last Straw Trilogy." The main reason the group kept him around was because of their familiarity with how he operated as a person, since they had known him in high school. Collateral Darren was a local legend in the Albany gaming scene, who ended up ruining most of his games due to a natural talent for Gamebusting. Association with Collateral Darren causes others in the tabletop group to have bad run-ins with the police, who arrest him in almost every campaign he partakes in. It's implied he mostly joins the games within the group to have fun from the chaos caused by all involved during their campaigns. In "Once More With Filking," the tabletop group admits to objectifying Asenath as a physically attractive Gamer Chick who they used as little more than arm candy. El Disgusto and Ab3 regularly made barbs about her physical disability (a flipper arm), Deviant Boy ended his relationship with her on bad terms, and it's implied she tried to make connections with the others to little avail. Blobert Smith is the only one in the tabletop group who did not at any point make mockery of her - he even went out of his way to stand up for her in ways none of the others did.

Work Off the Debt: Ab3 is forced to wash dishes in a Denny's, after the other members of the group leave without paying. This is the end result of one of the servers being antagonistic towards him specifically, even though she found the group's gaming at the Denny's particularly off-putting and disturbing the other guests.

Jar Potty: The end of "A Night at the Inn, a Day at the Racists" reveals that El Disgusto has stashed a whole collection of bottles of Mountain Dew under the stairs, except it's not Mountain Dew in the bottles — as he explains, he doesn't like to go upstairs to the bathroom when he's watching TV, so he just goes in the bottles with the intention of throwing them away later. He hasn't thrown away a single one — some of them are crusted with age and other substances, which is exactly as disgusting as it sounds. This revelation, which capped off a truly nasty bit of gaming, was the "rock bottom" moment for Ab3.

Berserk Button: Because of El Disgusto and his rampant worshipping of them and trying to play as one even in settings where it doesn't make sense, Ab3 now twitches violently every time someone mentions the word "ninja". In "Reservoir Torgs", El Disgusto has developed one in regards to anything reminding him of how he'd lost the tip of his penis, going on a Stick of Pain rampage on Blobert Smith for using the word "half-cocked" and Weasly Crusher for using the phrase "cut off".

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: True to form for El Disgusto. In "The God Trip," it's explained he had been discharged from Harvey Whitstein's Martial Arts Emporium with a black belt. Of course, it's also explained that he was discharged because the rest of his clothes also became black from biological festering. The "early graduation" became an ego twist and El Disgusto legitimately thinks himself to be the reincarnation of a long deceased ninja: "Shinobi."

El Disgusto wants to play a Ninja with a motorcycle in every damn game he's in, regardless of appropriateness for setting or theme. The type of Munchkin that he represents is "The Troll," as it is heavily implied he does this to ruin the game for everyone else as much as possible. El Disgusto's inflated sense of self-worth have constantly put him at odds with Weasly Crusher and Ab3, both of whom he chooses to bully. Whenever it's El Disgusto's turn to get comeuppance, he tries to Rules Lawyer his way through the problem and, when he can't, says Hastur's name or whines about it.

Occidental Otaku: El Digusto's habit of playing ninjas implies this. When not allowed to play a ninja directly, as long as it relates to martial arts (such as a professor of occidental mythology), he does not seem to mind. Given El Disgusto's affinity for martial arts extends to outside of the tabletop game, one can assume he relishes in Japanese culture (or, at least, the Western perception thereof).

Asenath also counts as zig-zagged variant of Only Sane Woman, if one were to discount the fact she often encouraged Deviant Boy; she tried to tell him about her previous relationship with El Disgusto but only got the chance during "Reservoir Torgs," seems to react appropriately to Blobert Smith saying the wrong name in bed when they were a couple, and brought cleaning supplies to one of the tabletop games Collateral Darren was hosting.

Satellite Character: Without being in physical proximity to Deviant Boy, Asenath's main presence in the Binder of Shame entries stems to casual exposition. Downplayed in "A Pinch of Assault" with Stocky Balboa - he was someone who Blobert Smith happened to know from his going to the same gym as him. Aside from this, he's a one-off character who found the campaign to be "Unbelievable" and was of few words.

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Blobert Smith indulges a charade of cerebral enlightenment, with Biff Bamm offering something similar. While Biff's verbosity and mannerisms bestow a neat discrepancy entertaining the possibility he's being self-aware of his Delusions of Eloquence, Blobert does not offer anything equivalent. While his persistence with endeavours in the role-playing sphere would be regarded as admirable, often his verbage was supremely ostentatious to convey a vast knowledge which could have been grounded into atoms and still achieved what he wanted.

Intoxication Ensues: The Last Straw trilogy features two moments where this was emphasized, in a fashion that extends beyond the escapades of The Amazing Boozehound: The first was in the first part of the trilogy, where Weasly Crusher GMs the game but drinks more and more to the point of vomiting. The entire campaign's surprising co-operativeness was revealed to be part of a social experiment concocted on Ab3 by the rest of the group, at his complete expense. The second was in the final part of the trilogy. It leads to a Musical Episode, most notably, where Ab3 realizes just how horrible the people he was playing with actually are, and evicts them from his place of residence at the time.

 Binder of Shame / int_f7a31863
comment
The Roleplayer: Averted with everyone. No one puts any serious effort into their characters, and El Disgusto actively goes out of his way to show he does not care about the setting or fluff of whatever is going on in nearly any session he partakes in. The aversion to any of them being The Roleplayer, even Blobert Smith, makes sense when both Ab3 and Psycho Dave kill off characters before they can do much in the sessions they are a part of. What's more, the sessions not commonly GM'd by the main two usually wind up disastrous because the GM themself is someone who does not make a world which anyone can seriously integrate with (Deviant Boy, El Disgusto, Cheating Bastard) for a number of different reasons.

Dude, Where's My Respect?

comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: A common issue when Ab3 is given the role of Dungeon Master is the apparent lack of respect his players have for him, and it's the biggest conflict within "Crisis of Infinite Jerks."

Girlfriend in Canada
 Binder of Shame / int_f93d8d52
comment
Girlfriend in Canada: Ab3 narratively discusses the trope when talking about cliches in the 1980's, and true to form this foreshadows details El Disgusto mentions about his love life, much to the doubts of everyone else. It turns out she does exist — in fact, she's Asenath. As Digusto was the first person to interact with Asenath out of everyone except Ab3, his comments about her flipper arm bring to light the fact they ended on bad terms. Deviant Boy is still upset by the fact Asenath had dated Disgusto beforehand, so this "Girlfriend In Canada" incident winds up doing more damage than most other stories of similar stripe.

I Call It "Vera": The "Stick of Pain," a wooden yardstick.

The Dog Bites Back
 Binder of Shame / int_fb3576b2
comment
The Dog Bites Back: El Disgusto's abused dog Lamont eventually gets revenge on him by biting off the tip of his penis. A less literal example was the one time Weasly Crusher was the DM. He is much more firm on refusing to let El Disgusto play a ninja compared to the other DMs, is able to improvise when drunk, and the one instance of campaign derailment, which ironically came from Ab3, was met with a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome of Ab3's character being abandoned in favour of getting through the rest of the campaign. While it still goes unfinished and nobody speaks of the Warhammer campaign again (as Weasly got drunk to the point of vomiting), Weasly grew a spine and turned out a better DM than anyone else in the group from just one Warhammer session.

Pet the Dog: Psycho Dave mentions that "even with the sniveling and whining" Ab3 has been his best player.
