Spicy DM Bargain: You're very good at finding traps, but also compulsively curious.
Legomaniac91
Remember: if you can't find the trap with your eyes, you'll eventually find it with your hit points.

Mevernind, imgur cock up. Cache hadn't cleared.

Definitely not playing OSR, she’s still alive.

That might take a while to heal

Yoo is by any chance the maker of this comic also the artist that did meteor fall?
TheImmortalThinkTank
I’m not, but whoever that artist is, I love their stuff
unannouncedguest
Well I love the style, very neat, please continue making the world a better place with the pencil

Were the swinging pendulum blades ever a real thing?

AFAICT it was made up by Edgar Allan Poe for "The Pit and the Pendulum".

And this is why we invest in CON children.

No substitute for for hit points.
Illithidbane
Without a comma, it feels like "Con Children" are a resource we invest in. Are they children raised to be tanks?
OmnibusLatinName
Trap mules. We herd a bunch through the dungeon setting off all the traps. :) We weren't the good guys that go 'round.
Illithidbane
Lucky none of the traps had an automatic reset mechanism.
mrose50
Gives a new meaning to "The children yearn for the mine -fields-".

I've been in campaigns with people like this.
Clayman8
One of my friends is this "people" you mention. So far he managed to activate every possible cursed item, fall off every darkness-hidden ledge, step on every booby trap and get shot or poisoned by every locked door we came upon.
Im the tank, i should be the one to do that but noooooooo the goblin thief HAS to touch everything.
GentlemanScientist
In D&D 3rd ed. you got XP for defeating a trap regardless of how you did it, our chaotic neutral (read: chaotic asshole) barbarian did it by bowling the halfling down corridors.
okkilby
At least this one figured it out. We've all been in campaigns with people who did not
ProppaGanda
I've been for a city stroll with people like that.

"What could a peasants life cost? 2 silver?"
MizzerCow
only costs 2 silver if you don't loot them after. Just make sure to clean up the coins before you hire your next one!

If your decisions don't make the GM's jaw hit the floor at least once per session, what are you even doing?
Vebrandsson
I prefer to try and invoke the amused smirk instead
LeSethX
I know I have earned a head nod and "my man"

My players recently did a heist at a vampires lair. He’s a bit of a dandy so I mentioned some perfume bottles when they found the bathroom. I did NOT expect them to pour one out and replace it with holy water before leaving… that’s on me…
skinart
Question: would you have accepted a cleric blessing all the perfume to make it holy water?
Junktrunkjunkie
As long as they had enough silver powder, yeah
