APAGear - Volume 6, Number 1 - January 2004
It is enjoyable for GM to invent somewhat more lighthearted adventure for players to solve once and for while. Opponents can then be changed from usual rogues gallery of hoodlums, enemies, forces of nature to more mundane bosses, co-workers and forces of paper. The following adventure is such a game where player's skills have actually no effect what so ever to end results or die rolls and only the level of frustration players can stand (and GMs sense of pure evil) should be used to determine length of adventure.
Characters have been ordered to get signing and approval for an important shipment of material. Needless to say, the material will not be given unless the paper work is finished. Thus characters should go to get signature from a huge office block filled with tiny cubicles, maze-like passages and seemingly similar looking office workers.
Needless to say, a daylong gauntlet of unspeakable horror is starting...

(Roll one die and see table two for end result.)

| 2* | "Hold on. This must be cleared first in Room H." |
| 3* | "Where is the waiver C? You need to get it first." |

Enjoy!
