Hi friends! I recently came across an interesting topic in D&D that I wanted to share with you all: creative use of items. For example, a rope can become not only a tool, but also a trap or a weapon. In one of the games I played, a mage dissolved a grate with acid instead of attacking. Have you ever had any unexpected situations with items? I'd love to hear about them!

Not DND but one time in Mage (a game of modern day magic) my players were trying really hard to contact another group. The players were in NYC and the other group was who-knows-where, but they were heavily magically warded.

After two failed and resource intense attempts to magically contact the other group, I asked if they wanted a hint. They said sure. I said, "Why don't you call them on the phone?"

I love White Wolf games for this reason. Many other reasons too but this is a fun one. Like playing VTM, it's super easy to get caught up in all the pseudo-Victorian drama of the vampires and then suddenly panic when the vamp hunter eschews his wooden stakes and garlic and instead shows up with a flamethrower. It's modern times out here baby. Like shit, I just spent two hours walking across town because I forgot our setting is set in fucking 1998 and I can just call a taxi.
