I've always looked at illusions as battlefield-control spells. The obvious uses are to "wall off" hallways and cover pits. "Repairing" broken bridges is also a lot of fun. Other interesting uses include simply creating a big, black ball around the party to allow them to redeploy under cover of...

This seems tailor-made to run the Dark Tower with. Cut back the explicit morality, ratchet up the action, and get rid of the fancy coats, and you could easily look at the flashback with Roland, Cuthbert, and Alain as a Dogs game.

The worst-kept secret in Kelnmouth is that the mayor, Jenthan Wiles, is a hopeless sin berry addict. He frequently spends days wallowing half-dressed about the mayoral estate, often accompanied by one or more local prostitutes, his face smeared with sticky red syrup. What is less obvious is...

The only problem I see is this: Once this bartender kills a few people, he won't be mundane anymore. He'll gain xp, which means he'll get levels, which means that he'll be able to take arrows to the face. Even if he simply weaves a web of intrigue, he'll gain enough "roleplaying experience" to...
