I had an idea for another one:
GM: As you approach the dock, you see the distant figure of Fingers Arbuthnot, rowing out towards the black galleon.
Paladin: We’ll never catch him! And he's got the Hellkey!
Mage: Don't worry, a fireball across his bows will soon make him turn round.
Paladin: Careful now.
GM: Hm, it's dark and he's 90 yards away, roll for accuracy. Just don't roll a ...
Mage: 1, I got 1.
GM: There is a distant explosion and you are engulfed in a cloud of burning row boat and lightly charred thief.
Paladin: You're only supposed to blow the bloody oars off!

Can you re-submit it with the phrase "I had an idea for another one:" removed? Sorry to be a picky bastard, but I did promise to delete any comment that wasn't precisely 100 words!

You are a picky bastard, aren't you!

For some reason, I couldn't see your comment until just now when it was a bit late to do anything about it. And besides, I too already have a copy.

Lucy's Omniscope: or Real Observers in Fictional Worlds
ucy was thinking about the her new Quantum Omniscope when Carla came in. "They're plotting downstairs: lotteries; horseracing; making money out of your new crystal ball. Where do you get your ideas?"

"This was your idea" Lucy answered. "Remember 'God the Storyteller'?"

"Last night..." Carla stopped. "You invented this to find God?"

"Theism is unprovable. So I looked for the story."

"And?"

"He's a lazy storyteller. Remember Schrödinger's Cat? Almost everything is unobserved, undetermined, like the cat. I saved everything observed in this file."

Carla frowned. "Only 656 bytes? How big a story would that make?

"Oh, about 100 words."

I'll show the story, just for fun, but yeah, it is too late for Jonny to consider for the judging, I think. Anyway -- I hear you own a copy of Game Night already! ;)
