I want THIS kind of ridiculousness in my games. I usually end up with the other kind of ridiculousness (someone insisting on starting a brewing business and mastering the kazoo).
I really kept thinking... "Ok, this shopping conversation is going to be a lead to something as part of the story. I sure hope a fight breaks out soon..." then nothing.
Barry you would love our UBER d20 games. Basically I take an old d&d module like White Plume Mountain, populate it with monsters from every open game d20 rules system around, and in the end you have Nazi Jawa's with Flamethrowers fighting Barbarian/Jedi/Half Orc/monks.
Weird Wars Ravenloft is just a Weird Wars/D&D mashup.....still fun though.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
Oh, and now the rest of the party found a deck of many things.

Drawing from the deck of many things made me feel like a teenager again.
