I knew this guy
I knew this guy who did an amazing
thing. There was this dungeon that was a nightmare of traps
and tricks. I mean whoever designed it was deranged.
There were no monsters, just four levels of automated
death. At the very end of the dungeon was the only treasure
in the whole place. It was some big diamond or something.
Anyway, the guy decided to take on the
dungeon. Now this could have taken years to actualy play
out. First the GM rolls to see if the player noticed the
trap. If so, the GM gives a big description of this
particular traps' wicked perfection. Someone had been
spending too much time reading 'Grimtooths' traps.' and was stuck
in a rut. No one else would even bother with the dungeon.
This is what he did: he bought every
sheep he could find. He herded the sheep into the dungeon
and went in after them. He found sheep pinned to the walls,
piled up in pits, smashed to the floor, melted by acid, burnt to
a crisp, exploded, grated, and diced. More importantly he
also found every trap already sprung. He just walked to the
end, took the diamond, and left.
It was a master stroke. Ted Deiker
is still a legend in our gaming community. For about five
minutes of actual role playing, we laughed for a week.
