Do Not Spoil This Ending: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Knights of the Dinner Table]]'', anyone who plays the infamous module ''The Temple of Horrendous Doom'' has to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement about its contents.

** In this case, its to maintain the mystique of a dungeon that has a 100 percent kill rate {{spoiler|technically true but it implies that the dungeon has never been beaten which is not true. You die at the beginning of the module and the whole point of the adventure is to get your body back and resurrect it, which the Black Hands learn several groups have done before them when they win. Its just that the non disclosure agreement prevents any bragging.}}

== [[Film]] ==

** Like ''Psycho'', ''Les diaboliques'' had a "no late admissions policy" in its original run.

* [[Moviebob]] on his ''[[Zombieland]]'' review insisted you to punch anyone trying to reveal something about the movie.

* The 1926 film ''[[The Bat]]'' opens with an intertitle reading "Can you keep a secret? Don't reveal the identity of The Bat. Future audiences will fully enjoy this mystery play if left to find out for themselves."

* Those who had seen the movie ''[[Fight Club]]'', often quoted the in-movie rule "The first rule of Fight Club is ''You do not talk about Fight Club!''" in order to not spoil the Big Reveal.

** Both ''Shift 2'' and ''Shift 3'' ask you to tell everyone in your reviews that "The cc is a lie" {{spoiler|referring to the "unlockable" bonus feature of playing as the character from the first game (He's dead, remember?)}} and how you hate that the secret character is Mel Gibson {{spoiler|[[Fancy Pants Adventures|Fancy Pants Man]]}}, respectively.

** Also, ''[[Chzo Mythos|Trilby: The Art of Theft]]'' asks you to tell other players that beating every mission in a row using a suit that increases your visibility unlocks something. {{spoiler|It doesn't.}}

* The German RPG-Adventure ''Die Attentäter'' has a surprise twist ending, that at the time of publication asked for secrecy by the players. Even though another adventure, over a decade later, re-uses the secret that {{spoiler|the assumedly male Emperor really was a woman}}, you still better watch what you're saying at German RPG-cons so as not to upset players.

* The creator of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' has asked the fanbase not to reveal the endings of the games. Most likely so that those who ''do'' make it to the end and see an ending can feel a real sense of accomplishment. Given [[Bullet Hell|the genre]], seeing the Good ending of a game is a pretty big accomplishment indeed. For the most part, the fanbase complies, to the point of the Wiki not revealing even the synopsis of any endings, and when a character only shows up in a game's ending, it's spoiler-tagged on the character's appearances list.
