So I read a lot of people who find games being influenced by videogames to be objectionable. I don't understand this attitude... I play videogames, and find there are loads of ideas I can yoink for my D&D games...
Take Halo for example. One of the things I really enjoyed in Halo was when you'd come arcross these big shield/gun combo things... Usualyl you'd have to kill the Alien manning it, then you could take control of it yourself and use it to blast a bunch of other fools... (Blastin dudes with heavy weapons is fun.)
So I used this idea in an adventure in my game recently... In one of the fights, the enemies had a couple of giant slingshots. One shot rocks, the other mud balls that slowed people it hit.
It was a ton of fun watching the PCs and monsters scramble for control of the weapons.
