That’s love players, your DM is trying to save you :)
That’s why it’s important to assess the tone the DM is using when they say that.
Do they sound defeated? You’re probably about to derail away from something planned to something that will have to be fully improvised on the spot, reconsider for sanity’s sake
Do they sound excited? You’re probably about to trigger a really cool trap, full steam ahead
A good DM will also say that to mess you up when you’re about to solve something.
I know a DM that created a fake puzzle room, and asked that for everything. They were in the room for an hour before realizing that the door was unlocked
I presented my party with a locked door to which they has the key. Took 20 minutes and a chime of opening to get through.
This was not a puzzle. I’m afraid of giving them a puzzle.
Indeed. I often do that kind of trick, just to keep them on their toes :)
Art by @ahdok of course. I am talented but not in drawing anything remotely fun to watch :)
