We just broke D&D...

[Xath]

So, we're playing D&D right now, and we were thinking of ways to transport a group of mercenaries across the continent. In the process, we figured out how to break D&D. What is it? Two teleportation circles. They're difficult to detect and there's no saving throw. So...if you target a teleportation circle to a teleportation circle, which is targeted to the original circle. In effect, you get a perfect trap with no saving throw. Only a rogue can find and disable the effect. So, it's like being caught in a Star Trek transporter buffer....forever. Like "Relics," only with no way out.

Does anyone have similar stories? What's your favorite way to break the game?

In one of the 1st Edition AD&D modules, there was a trap that was a vertical shaft with a teleport at its bottom that transported everything to the top. One of the problems was that things (i.e. swords, rocks, rotting corpses) kept falling faster and faster -- at least until you reached terminal velocity. PCs had to deal with the issue while (if I remember correctly) climbing up the sides to something above (hard to remember since it's been forever since I played that one).
