AWESOME Idea from rpg.net...

Wasn't there an X-Files with a fungi that did this to Mulder?

That would be 6x21, "Field Trip" where Mulder and Scully is discussing the case..

Mulder: "As I said, there's been no scientific credible explanation but there are those of us who believe these strange multicoloured lights are really..."
Scully: "UFOs. Extraterrestrial visitors from beyond who apparently have nothing better to do than buzz one mountain over and over again for 700 years."
Mulder: "Sounds like crap when you say it."

I've always wanted to run a D&D game where the PCs are actually interstellar colonists in a "sleeper" ship on its way to a nearby solar system. The fantasy world is an elaborate VR simulation designed to keep the colonists' brains active during the trip. In this case, the BBEG trying to destroy the world is actually the ship's central computer trying to wake up the colonists before the ship flies into the sun or is attacked by hostile natives or something.

Then again, I also want to run a Ravenloft game where one of the domains is ruled by a Dark Lord of the Sith. I have weird ideas.
