Episode 1230: The Old Trap Door in the Floor Trap

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Any master villain worth his salt is going to have a trap door in the floor right in front of his desk/throne/Seat of Command. Bonus points for having piranhas or crocodiles underneath it.

Frankly, anyone who stands right in front of the seat of power of a master villain and makes any sort of demands (or in fact does anything at all other than grovel in supplication) pretty much has this coming to them.

Trope-aware gamers may of course spot the danger inherent in approaching the villain's desk/throne. So consider giving your villain the superpower of manifesting a trap door in the floor right in front of him wherever he happens to be standing. On a street, on a football field, on a cruise ship - doesn't matter! Get too close and boom, you're falling into a pit.
