My old GM’s favorite “shut the Hell up” technique was to grab up a handful of dice and start shaking them threateningly.

“Next person who says a word, and I’m rolling for damage.”

One person did challenge him, and – wouldn’t you know it? – a rockslide came out of no where, doing 94 hp to his character.

Hah! I have an actual wooden catapult, that I built for a world history project, It’s throwing arm is about a foot long. So not small, but not dangerous unless it hits you in the eye.
I use it, of course, to pelt obnoxious players with dice.
This results in many lost dice and minor bruising.
Yet it is definitely worth it

@Tetsubo – Yep, that would get most players attention.

My favorite 'player compliance' device was an actual switchblade. When I started to play with it they knew I was either bored or annoyed. Neither was a good thing. Tetsubo´s last blog post..Bigotry in Gainesville FL
