Gah. Ever had a game where someone says or does something so damn obvious you wonder why it took so long to think of and why it wasn't you who came up with t? It needn't be spectacularly outlandish; in fact, the more every-day, the better.
A few days ago, we were playing V:tM (Heresy, yes, I know :D) and we had to break into a fiendish puzzle-locked chest-of drawers. So after opening the first drawer, and being about to close it to open the next, I say... "Wait. Take it out completely." GM: "Huh? What? Why?" Me: "So we can looki into the next drawer. And then we can open the locking mechanism from inside and keep going." GM: "Shut up. I hate you." |

Wouldn't this be better suited to the Lounge?

Sorry, Domino, you must have no experience with cheap chest-of-drawers. The cheap ones don't have a piece of wood, called the "dust shelf" between the drawers. If you pull out a drawer in a cheap chest-of-drawers you can reach through the opening into the drawer below the one you pulled out.
Obviously, Domino, you only have experience with quality furniture. |

Well, I was refereing to the comic posted. I thought the winky I applied to my post would have shown the joke like nature of my post. Apparently I overestimated my fellow dumpshockers. ;););)
And Sir I am the expert on cheap furniture and I feel insulted. I demand restitution. |

yeah domino has the experience with the cheap stuff, that's why he thought up that solution. the gm just didn't have expereience with quality stuff that has that dust shelf so didn't think a puzzle chest would have them.

Actually Nigthward came up with that solution. I would have used 9 kilos of C-12.

C12's always an option as long as what you're tyrying to get to doesn't blow up easily.

He did say they were trying to break into it, not actually trying to get anything out of it.

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to blow up a CHEAP chest of drawers"
