[QUOTE="Lasher Dragon, post: 2022323, member: 26634"] "Goof Troop Formation" - any formation that lends itself especially well to magical attack. Everyone formed up in a line behind the door the rogue is about to open? We have officially assumed Goof Troop Formation - Lightning Bolt. "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" - when you roll incredibly well on a spot/search check and the DM gives you only the most basic explanation of what you see/find. (DM) "OK, you are searching the room? Give me a search check." (PC) "Hell yeah, Nat 20 <rolls again> OK I got a 42 search." (DM) "There is a bed, a dresser, and a closet in the room" (PC) "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" "The closets ain't got no f***ing doors!" - When a PC is trying to solve a problem and repeatedly attempts to use a method already shot down numerous times by the DM. Originated in WW:Vampire when a bunch of us bloodsuckers had to go to ground fast before the sun fried us. We were in a sleazy hotel as dawn was breaking. I was hiding under the bed, another of us had earth-melded outside, and yet another was hiding in a cabinet. One of our group (great guy, just incredibly thick sometimes) was still trying to find somewhere to hide, after repeatedly saying "Well, I'll just get in the closet" to which the DM (Storyteller I guess they were called hehe) always replied "The closets don't have any doors". Well, after the 5th or 6th time the PC said he was going to hide in the closet, the DM and 2 of the PCs shouted, at the same time, "THE CLOSETS AIN'T GOT NO F***ING DOORS!!!!"
