Does anybody else have famous historical/fantasy/fictional characters appear once in a while in their campaigns? I'm thinking less of having Elminster drop by for a cup of tea and more wild, unpredictable cameos that don't really belong until you think about it.
Most of my cameos are campaign-specific but I do have a recurring character who shows up, eventually, in my campaigns. He's a time/space/reality/dimension traveller, called, unimaginatively, The Traveller, who arrives in a big green box, usually with a 'companion' or two along for ballast. Just because that's not quite obvious enough, every time he appears he appears as a different race or sex, because he 'reincarnates' every time he dies - his personality changes too. The first time he appeared he was played by a guest player and was a rather mild-mannered professorly type, before he was killed and became a tall, athletic woman. He showed up in my current campaign as well, this time as a rather annoying gnome wearing a hat covered in fishing flies, who landed accidentally on my campaign world after misnavigating (he was trying to get to a curry house in London).
That's the closest I really come to a celebrity cameo - it's not actually Dr. Who but someone very much like him. I tend not to run pre-published campaigns so I can't have many cameos there, although in a previous Shadowrun campaign Nadja Daviar showed up (as a voice on the phone).
What about thee?
