Yes I would, and darn proud of it too

This about supposed to be about their failures, not their successes (unless you count a failure to get it to the market as a failure)

King of the Hill: The RPG

Play the role of a Texan suburbanite and his buddies! Thrill during beer drinking, lawn-mowing, and occasional propane sales!

CSI the RPG

GM: "Make a search check."

Player: (rolls) 14.

GM: Well, there's a dead guy, in a tree.

Player: "How did he get there?"

GM: "You don't know."

Feel the excitement!

Zork: Beyond the Screen

GM: "you come to a fork in the dungeon. Exits are north, south, and west."

Player: "West!"

GM: "You enter what must be a kitchen. There is a oven in one corner, with a fire blazing inside of it, and a large table. Working over the oven is a beautiful, scantly clad woman. Exits are East"

Player: "Seduce Woman"

GM: "I don't understand that command"

Player: "#!&@ woman"

GM: "I don't understand that command"

Player: "#!&@ you!"

GM: "I don't understand that command"

DC Super Heroes

GM: Okay, the robbers have guns.

Player 1: I'm invulnerable to bullets.

Player 2: I run faster than bullets

Player 3: My armor is kevlar, making me, bullet-proof.

Player 4: I'm not invulnerable against bullets, but I can just make a bubble around them using my power ring, problem solved.

GM: I hate you all.

Hmmm, how do you define failure? If its a product that almost put a company under, Denizens of Avadnu is certainly in the running...

I actually planned to throw something like this into a Modern game at one point - an NPC kept the password to his safe (which changed each day) hidden inside a text adventure on his computer. The PCs would have to play through the text adventure to find the password...

Really, it was just so that I could say to the players "I don't understand. Could you rephrase that?" a lot

Never got around to using it, though.
