This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A man is lying dead in a forest.

What happened?

(this one might take a while :D)
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock and roll to me.

You can talk all you want about theory, craft, or whatever. But in the end, it's still just new ways of looking at people playing make-believe and having a good time with their friends. Intellectualize or analyze all you want, but we've been playing the same game since we were 2 years old. We just have shinier books, spend more money, and use bigger words now.

Xavier Lang

Did the man die where his body is?

Does the man have any marks of injury on his person?
 

Dr_Avalanche

Does he wear any equipment out of the ordinary?


Are there any tracks leading to the man? From the man?

Alright, now it became much more interesting. Seemed too simple... :)

Er..

Did he come from the air at all?

Against his will?

Did he drop into a forest fire?

Ok. I'd just like to say that they tested this scenario on Mythbusters, and it's patently impossible. ;)

The guy was scuba diving, a plane (or helicopter) scooped him up in preparation to fight the forest fire, then dropped him to the ground.

My scenario had him snorkeling, but yeah that's pretty much it. :p

Figured it out too quick... need to find something harder...
