Two thoughts here.
1. If run seems simple it will somehow become terribly complicated, because players wont believe its as easy as it looks. 2. My players tend to argue about method, plan till blue in face....then drive through front doors guns blazing! ( ok so not everytime but its running joke around our table) |

Running jokes around our table
"Eh, there's only 40 of 'em. I can take 20, how many can you take?" Gained it from a D&D session with a waaaay to over confident 8th level fighter facing a castle full of 8th level fighters. He was dead serious about it. Which made it so funny. "I've seen this before." Gained it from a SR2 campaign where a sammie with the flaw "impulsive" had a great idea to knock over a Doc Wagon team and steal their gear to sneak into a place. But how to find a Doc Wagon team? Well, said sammie had a Doc Wagon contract. So he broke his wristband and when Doc Wagon came to get him Sammie threw over a table and started to open fire. One of the Doc Wagon team rolled an incredible surprise test and incredible initiative Said "I've seen this before," and plugged two burst into the Sammie dropping him before combat even really started. (The rest of the team quickly grabbed a different table when they saw the sammie yanking at his Doc Wagon wrist band, they stayed out of the fight.) |

so did the Doc wagon guy cart him off and revive him than? ;) he DID have a contract after all, or would shooting at the Doc constitute a breach of cortract. XD I had the oppsite happen in an Eberron game. GM had set up a very tough castle full of skeletons for us to fight. skeles got repeted crit falures on what we not refer to as the "cursed" dice. ended up about as many skeles killed themselves and their companions as we killed of them and we breezed through this supposedly near sucidal encounter. one funny note from that incident was when i was scaleing the wal on a rope and the party member threw a dager at the skele at the top of the wall, crit failed and cut the rope when i was half way up. i fell down and the rope landed on top of me tangleing me up. |
