Quote from: Cranewings;492270Let's post some ways of tricking players into fucking themselves.

So that's what it's all about as a DM, huh? Fucking over the players. Or at least tricking them into fucking themselves. Neat. After the whole "bear-trap on the head" thing I thought you were a shitty DM. Now I KNOW you are a shitty DM.

Why do you bother to have "Yeah, I'm a prick," below your picture and then post something like that. It is saying it twice.

I'm sort of the victim of this one in the heroes game I'm playing in, as I'm the one guy that can control geological forces. My character is a geologist trying to learn about his powers, and his position as one lets him explain away his abilities as things that were natural and he came to study. Nevertheless, S.H.I.E.L.D. is onto him.

Fingerprint Power: Give the player character a power or weapon that no one else has and leaves a mark on the environment so that if the power is used, a sleuth will always be able to point the finger at him.

For the Deck of Many Things, I've always been sad I never got to use them. When I first started gaming, the PC group I was in were three years along and had a deck which they had already pulled about 20 cards out of a LONG time ago. They believed they got off pretty scot free besides one person who was killed or something, and thought pulling any more cards was a suckers bet. Ever sense then, it seems like every group knows about them and the whole things was played out. Never seen it really happen.

Every Man is a Captain

This one plays on player pride. Lets say the party has a spaceship or sailing ship that is too good. It was fun for a while and served its purpose, but you want to separate the party from it. Just blowing it up or having it stolen is too ham handed  but you want to neutralize it, just give the party another ship.

Someone in the group will want to captain the second, worse, vessel so long as it is at least average in capability. This does you the favor of splitting the party between two ships AND if the first ship was really fast or cloaked, the party can still be tracked just by following the second ship!

Then I'll continue my redundancy (yes, that is the word you are looking for: redundant) and say again that you suck as a DM if your whole goal is just to fuck-over your players.

Challanging your players is one thing, but constantly trying to fuck them over is just being a prick. As I've stated, that is something I'm well versed in. You seem to be as well, based on what I've read.

If I posted a thread that said, "lets all name the color of the shirt they have on" would you assume my house and car are the same color?

Trying to get players to fuck themselves over is a part of the fun. If the game isn't difficult than there isn't anything to think about. You should hear the laughter of players that figure it out and succeed. I don't go for the walk through game.

I guess I can update your status from "Prick DM" to "Illiterate prick DM" since you obviously didn't read what I said starting with the word "challanging". I'm not advocating a cake-walk for fuck's sake.

And I'm not basing my opinion on just this thread. This was the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak. I'm basing this additionally on one of your other threads, specifically the "My player is stupid because he fell for one of my traps" (because the dancing naked goblin/cranial bear trap/save or die trap was such utter genius on your part :rolleyes:) thread, as well as several of your other posts over time.

Sure thing bro (:

I love how hostile you are.

Oh, geeze. Lighten up. This whole thread is for humor purposes.

LOL.

My goodness, there are a lot of really angry people on this forum, aren't there? Nothing new on online forums, but most of the others here are very sensible and I find myself repeatedly surprised when some new scoundrel comes leaping out to do battle.

It's certainly not boring around here, though.

Yeah there are. And its getting worse sense all these people refuse to play Pathfinder or 4e and have nothing to do anymore (;

I don't notice a lot of the negativity though. My ignore list is just getting longer.

Quote from: B.T.;492307Why would I want to do this?

Because any player worth their salt will try and trick the GM to fuck himself.

Quote from: Cranewings;492591Sure thing bro (:

Why thanks sis! -smooches-

Wait, no, not the ignore button...nooooooooooo......

Does it count if I was laughing at Crany the whole time?

On topic:

Here's a irritating trap:

Put a permanent teleport at the end of a long single-person wide L-shaped hallway that is filled with continual darkness.  The continuation of the hallway after the teleport is an illusion. When the player in front steps into that square they are teleported back to near the beginning. If they are not careful, the party could end up walking around in circles for quite some time before they figure it out.
