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.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Oh, and now the rest of the party found a deck of many things.

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