Once upon a time, there was a place where all of our role-playing shame could be exposed for the World to see. When you got all the way into the enemy base and found you'd forgotten to bring the explosives, it was there. When you decided to climb up fifteen stories of empty lift shaft for no reason at all, it was there. When the mage decided to challenge the elf in the silly makeup to a spell duel... it was there.
These were the CLUE files where GMs and players posted each other's humiliating misadventures. They're still out there, but they haven't been updated or maintained in many a year. It is my proposal, for the educational benefit of neophyte runners everywhere, to re-instate the CLUE files. I want your stories and anecdotes (preferably Shadowrun) of player or GM stupidity or simple unawareness. This species being what it is, I know there must be a goldmine out there. What I would ask, is that people email me their stories through the link in my profile so that I can post a big bunch on the site for an unveiling. Doesn't have to be that way, but I thought it would be nice. I'll post back here with a link when I have a dozen, say. Comments? Thoughts? (But stories by email, preferably). Thanks, -Khadim. EDIT: I'm just doing the page layout and whatnot now. It's going to look lovely. :) |
