A few years back – as part of a sometimes-annual RPG competition that I was GMing – we had a scenario entitled “Four Coffins and a Wedding”. The setting was the Victorian “Goblins” London (later GURPS Goblins).
It was a french farce kind of thing, with several nearly identical coffins, but with very different contents, including some embarrasing love letters being delivered to a wedding (by the embittered best man), a nude and compromising sculpture, and the body of the local mob boss.
I do remember that during the playtest (run by one of the authors and using the non-author GMs as players) we ended up with the bosses body. Unable to easily return it, and fearing the wrath of his minions, we contrived to be rid of it (and make a couple of shillings) by passing it off to a rather dubious pie maker of our acquaintance.
Half way through disposing of the evidence – and I do mean half way… the mincer was large, but manual and hard to crank – the bosses minions turned up to get their order of pies for the wake. :eek: Much amusement – in rather poor taste – was had by all.
Player to GM is midst of crisis: “Ummm… did we put him in feet or head first???”
GM smiles evilly…
