Found a solution to torturing PCs

[Kestrel]

Ever have a problem with PC's refusing to roleplay correctly when their characters are captured and being tortured? I've came up with an idea to solve this pesky problem.

Buy a few bottles of baby food at the local supermarket. Whenever the bad guy's turn the rack, the player has to eat a spoonful

Just one bite and the players will be begging to tell everything they know

as the father of an 8-month old, that idea is very tempting and quite convenient.

I don't know - some of those deserts babies can get are pretty good. Just make sure you torture your players with baby vegetable dishes - mushed peas for instance.

Or that strained spinach stuff mixed with rice cereal or baby oatmeal. Then just throw in some raisins and maybe a little red food coloring to make it look even more strange, and DON'T tell them what it is.

Torture rules

If you are looking for torture rules then check out Mystic Eye Games book Urban Blight. It contains a professional torturer along with rules for torturing.

I'm trying to make them grimace, not projectile vomit

Projectile vomiting is bad for the battle-mat

Jared seems to like it. Minus the red food coloring of course. That was spur of the moment.

Course who know's the tastes of a 15 month old?

ya, i don't get how common it is for people who are "All About the Roleplay" to totally tank when it comes to having their PC's show fear, or some non-heroic emotion.

Give them vegetables when they cooperate

But give them baby food meat when they don't. I have never encountered "food" that smelled half as vile as baby pureed lamb, chicken or beef. Of course you will have to "Gallagher-proof" your gaming area
