    7 KB Suggestions for a Warehouse 23-like idea anon 07/12/08(Sat)23:25 No.2199595  
    In my game, the PCs have finally entered the archives of their arch-enemies, and they find a series of filing cabinets that the PCs think contain the secret plans of the villians or vital clues. They might indeed, but first they have to sift through their bizare contents.

    I need some ideas for what the filing cabinets might contain. Like in GURPS Warehouse 23, they can be humorous, dangerous, mind-boggling, or mundane. They may contain mementos of other plots, or be references to other genres or stories.

    Here are some ideas I've come up with so far.

    Opening a file cabinet results in seeing the back of the PC’s head as he opens a filing cabinet.

    Picture of the PCs in a junkyard which is about of the size of the archives room. Rusted cars and other objects are roughly in the same arrangement as the objects in the archives room. The PCs are lying around, apparently drugged and hallucinating, while opening and closing filing cabinets. Scattered around are needles and other drug-related materials.

    The filing cabinet unlocks many filing cabinets and opens into another room of filing cabinets.

    A chess set with the pieces carved to resemble the PCs on opposing sides of the board.


    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    A mint-in-sealed-box G1 Optimus Prime.

    A small child who looks up at the PC who opened the drawer, smiles as if she's just seen the single greatest thing her young mind can conceive of, and then rots away before that PC's eyes. If anyone closes the drawer and opens it again, it is completely empty.

    Narnia.

    A massive orgy covering the entire bottom of the drawer, consisting of one-inch-high members of whatever race the PC looking in belongs to. Each PC who looks in perceives the participants as being their own race.

    Completely useless magic items, such as the Amulet of Everlasting Soap. The wearer feels cleaner than he or she has in YEARS, while in reality still being just as filthy as they were prior to the Amulet. Any attempt to remove the Amulet must first pass a relatively easy saving throw, as they rather enjoy this squeaky-clean feeling.

    Scale model of Stonehenge.

    Drawer full of bacon.

    Drawer full of live ferrets.

    A drawer that, when opened, launches an angry cat at the face of the PC who first opens it. This drawer never runs out of cats. The drawer continues launching cats at the same PC, regardless of who opens the drawer or how far the target PC is from the drawer. Periodically over the rest of the adventure, a cat will fly out of nowhere to hit that same PC right in the face, even in subterranean caverns.

    A drawer that simply leads down into blackness with no visible bottom. If the PCs drop something in to determine the drawer's depth, it simply falls out of an air vent in the ceiling a few minutes later. If any of the PCs are small enough to climb into the drawer, they land in a small rock chamber with a hole in the middle. The only other occupant is an enormously obese creature (whatever would be most suitable, hilarious, and REALLY CREEPY within your campaign) wearing a pink frilly dress, that cheerfully greets the PC. Jumping down the hole results in coming out the aforementioned air vent.

    A drawer that contains more drawers.

    One filing cabinet full of dwarves instead of drawers.

    One drawer that is covered in smiley face stickers and hearts and the like, and when opened it sprays a continuous, high-velocity stream of vomit straight up until someone closes it.

    That's a good idea too.

    One filing cabinet is full of sexual paraphenalia, with the more tame items (novelty vibrators, softcore magazines and videos, lubricant) in the top drawer. As the PCs continue opening drawers moving down, the sexual items get more hardcore; butt plugs, dildos, blowup dolls, bondage straps, whips, nipple clamps, zipper masks, etc. The bottom drawer contains a skeleton in a gimp suit.

    Several drawers that speak when opened, each saying things that correspond to the Seven Deadly Sins; i.e., one drawer will shout things like "Bring me seventeen hamburgers," one will shout "TITS OR GTFO," one will shout nothing but threats, etc.

    Drawer full of pieces of wood.

    Drawer full of pure colour; whoever opens it makes some sort of saving throw against being completely mesmerized by it.

    A drawer that contains everybody's pants; once somebody looks inside it, everyone realzies they are no longer wearing pants.

    Drawer full of dire badgers that the PCs have to fight.

    Drawer that's really a pull-out aquarium.

    Make one drawer contain a creepy old doll. Whoever opened the drawer is then followed for the rest of the campaign by this doll. At least once a session have that one PC go a spot check to find the doll, just have the DC be random, so its like the doll is just hiding somewhere in the room. The doll can be found only by that first PC who opened the drawer, but the rest of the PCs can see it after that first one points it out. No matter how many times the doll is destroyed, moved or anything, it always reappears.

    A drawer full of small windmills, and directly underneath it a drawer full of dead whores.

    A drawer full of beards, underneath a drawer of severed necks.

    A drawer that is actually the switch to open a secret hatch in the wall, revealing a spaceship just large enough to fit the entire party. If your campaign has spaceships, it turns out to be either utterly beyond repair, a model spaceship, or it has completely incomprehensible controls. If your campaign doesn't have spaceships, the first button the PCs push activates the lasers, which blow up the opposite wall. After that, they have to roll Fear checks against a MASSIVE DC to try anything else in the ship (or you can just fudge the DC and say they fail regardless).

    I remember this sci-fi book about a paranoia style survival bunker complex. Everyone in the bunker didn't know of the outside world and was involved in some insanely complex bureaucracy. The main character was an investigator was following leads on a series strange murders. At the end of the chase, he finds a folder marked top secret, opens it, and it's the book but written as a script. Character reads about himself recursively reading the folder. Book ends there.

    Attempts to take the monkey's cigarette result in the monkey attacking the PC in question, taking the cigarette back, and then running away. Throughout the rest of the adventure, treat the monkey the same way as >>2199903's doll.

    For added laughs (for you, anyway), fudge the relevant dice rolls so that the same PC opens the cat drawer, the doll drawer, and the monkey drawer.

    At the back of the filing cabinet , buried beneath blank sheets of typewriter paper, is a dark brown book about the size of a photo album. Taped across the first page is a yellowed newspaper clipping with the headline CONEMAUGH FAMILY SLAIN. There is a picture of the Flectcher house. On the next page is another newspaper clipping: SPLANGER RESDIENT KILLED. A mug shot of a smiling middle aged man wearing a tie, the name Ronald Biggs beneath it. On the next page two smaller items; WIDOWER SLAIN and BARNESBORO MAN KILLED. The book is filled with grim reminders of murder: photographs of houses whose bodies had been found, of cars that had been discovered on the sides of country roads, of blankets covering what can only be horribly mutilated corpses. They cover a span of ten year.
