Have you ever staged a scenario where the monster was something totally unexpected?

Took the kids to a petting zoo in Canada once, big mistake! I had a cup full of treats held high and was giving it out slowly when goat bit me in the side below my arm. He received a elbow to the face which made me drop the food. Sneaky git, I bet he knew what he was doing. The bruises have healed, but I'm scared emotionally. |

Oh yeah – those goats know exactly what they are doing. Having been attacked by my neighbor's German Shepard mix dog as a young child I don't trust any animal I can't strangle. |

I've been reading about the vulture infestation at the Boarder Patrol station. They mentioned they sometimes dropped other animals from a height of 300 feet--that would be unexpected. "You are hit by a pig dropped by a vulture over your head. You lose 10 hit points." |

Where is the man eating the giraffes? This, children, is what the hyphen is for. |

Have you never watched the twilight zone "How to serve man"? |
Dr Argent | 12 Jan 2020 5:42 p.m. PST |
GurKan, yes, an important lesson for us all. I, myself, could not eat more than one giraffe. |

You're right; eating more than one giraffe would be silly… |
Narratio | 12 Jan 2020 7:07 p.m. PST |
Well, eating more than one giraffe at a single meal would be silly, certainly. But what if you've friends over for the weekend? You'll surely need a least two, plus you'll get a weeks worth of sandwiches out of the leftovers. |

Mmmmm, GLTs! When the giraffe is all lean and the tomatoes are perky…… |

Dang, I'll bet the little girl was holding a spoonful of something tasty. |

Behold the face of terror, dum dum dum….
A pack of Giraffes chowing down on man flesh. "I don't know Sid, tastes like chicken." |

"I'd eat a giraffe…" Save the neck for me Clark! |

Wasn't sure if you meant "Man eating giraffe" or "Man-eating giraffe". Punctuation is important, people. |
Leadjunky | 13 Jan 2020 8:37 p.m. PST |
Taller freezer for the other giraffes. More for later. |

Back to the original question, I once used Brussel Sprouts as terrain, because we knew one of our players hated them. Clean sprouts, peel off outside leaves and slice bottom to make a base. Place sprouts across jungle terrain. At the end of every round, roll scatter dice and move every sprout accordingly. Just like a cat will seek out the one person who hates cats, sprouts will flock to the person that hates them. |

For what it's worth, I just finished reading a book on artificial intelligence, and it stated that "giraffing" was one of the major problems with neural networks. It's a good word, and I'm glad I finally got a chance to use it. |

In other words, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a giraffe. |
Bashytubits | 20 Jan 2020 3:43 p.m. PST |
I don't think its a duck….

for being hit by an item dropped by a bird In 455 BC, Aeschylus, the great playwriter known as the Father of Greek Tragedy, died in a most unexpected way. He was said to have been killed by a tortoise which was dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. |
