Line 60:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* In just about every Tabletop RPG where your [[Player Character|PC]] can bribe someone, there's a chance of arrest (or some other negative action) if your bribe attempt fails. Examples include ''[[Traveller]]'', ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' and early edition ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''.
** ''[[Dark Sun]]]]'' even has Bribery Etiquette skill allowing to avoid blunders, as well as having a good idea of whom to bribe in the first place.
** The risk of failure is obviously increased if the bribe is [[Comically Small Bribe|inadequate to the situation]]; some rules (e.g. [[GURPS]]) also specify an increased risk if the bribe is ''too large'' (because it makes the briber look desperate and suggests that the situation is more dangerous than meets the eye).
