"Attack the Gazebo" is an apocryphal gaming story in which the DM is describing the grounds of the manor house, and says "You see a gazebo in one corner of the garden."
The players, not knowing what a gazebo is, assume it's a monster and attack it.
Later, D&D would introduce the "glabrezu," figuring that if any newbies attacked one of those, they would get what they deserved.
OK, I made the last part up. But I know at least two people who SWEAR they were there for the "attack the gazebo" night.

I don't wanna go with the Buffy quote because how many more Buffy quotes regarding gaming are we gonna find?

Ha! Of course it's a cross-post.
I really like "Roll Initiative" and "Gazebo," but shouldn't the thread title be more all-inclusive? Computer and console and board, etc.
Mystical/Doily would be fine, but then the thread would be referred to as "Doily."

That's one incarnation of it. Not sure if it's actually the original. There's a couple of different "original" versions out there.

It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo.

What's a quote about gaming that is inclusive of all games?

That's kind of why I think we put the quote on the first one. After that, we're kind of out, and can do whatever. But it's just a notion. Nothing I'm super attached to.
