Running Target ![]() ![]() ![]() Group: Members Posts: 1,102 Joined: 23-March 04 From: The Grizzly Grunion, in a VIP room. Member No.: 6,191 |
I been looking around and i've seen a few anecdotes that made me guffaw but i know we can do better. I'll start.
Myself and Cap'n Dave were in a run raiding a small-to-middling corp bunker. The GM was being a pedantic MUDWHISTLE so we, of course, had to get even somehow. Both he and I had previously procured large quantities of C-12 (don't ask). While the MUDWHISTLE was off pedant-ing with another player about dice rolls or sump'n, we proceeded to hide small bundles allll over the facility like highly-explosive Easter eggs. We lifted up potted plants, we rubbed it into the carpet, we put it into file cabinets, and so on and so on. As we dusted off (and were greeted by the biggest street gang EVER, i might add) we asked HIM to roll perception. As you might have guessed, the target number for percieving a large explosion and the resulting rain of charred office equpiment is pretty miniscule. As i remember, Dave had to detonate the dashed thing from a DocWagon stretcher, after the ensuing gang war. I was leaning on a lamppost (the only one left), smoking a cigarette, sharpening my katana and whisting REM's "It's the end of the world as we know it." The GM subsequently developed a small eye twitch. They're working on his dosage. |
