Celebrity cameos

In my DARKSUN campaign I had players spot Agis, Rikus and Sadira. I often had them visit small towns and use NPCS as descriped in the novels.

In Eberron, I have had them become aware of other charcters but the world is still new enough that no one recognizes them or their signifigance (sp) of being there.

 

[Xath]

is he as funny in game as in real life?

Other Sinbad, although half of the players jumped to the same conclusion.

We're on a twisted offshoot of the pattern, similar to Tel'aren'rhoid, in which someone is ensnaring the souls of the greatest heros and artists from any time in the wheel, and trapping them within this dimension. And they're also being brainwashed. It's super-wierd.

Once, in a d20 modern campaign, one of the players suggested the name "Carrie Fisher" as a random name. So I made it the real Carrie Fisher. When they captured her, she yelled, "Help me, Obi-Wan! You're my only hope!" Then Sir Alec Guiness ran up armed with a lightsaber and attacked them. They struck him down but he only became more powerful.

It wasn't my proudest moment, but it was funny.

Conan showed up in a fantasy game of mine... he was stealing the same thing the pc's were after. There was a running battle and he ended up getting away at the end. It was lots of fun and the players still talk about it 8 years later. He also shows up in rumors and news occasionally during the game still.

 

[Arrgh! Mark!]

I once had a monk named Thelonious.


He died to a kobold. No one even got the reference.

Although the stories of his mentor, the great master Chow-Yun-Fat are still remembered. The story of how Chow-Yun-Fat defeated the one legged man was quite epic in the end.

I once had a monk named Thelonious.

Everyone who's ever had a monk has had a monk called Thelonius. It's just one of those things...

Duke Nuke Em showed as an NPC in my Buffy game --

Since Duke was actually a scray crazy member of the initiative (with Guns 8!) a sort of split personality for Lt. Col Anthony Newcombe I played it to the hilt -

The players loved it and - the PC's (Teenagers) got drunk, ate at Dukai Sushi , got laid and blew up a lot of Vampires

Duke only spoke in one liners (except once during a very angsty session ) which lead to some hysterical dialoge

PC (Raist Talbane) -- Do you say anything thats not a one liner

Duke -- No

PC -- You are so two dimensional that if you turned sideways I you'd be invisible --

I also tried to have a totem warrior (Wolverine of course) named Logan show up but that was way way to silly and I retconned that plot line

 

[Psion]

"Stick of pain, Lamont!!!"

roofles.

Not everyone.

Though I'd be a liar if I said it didn't happen in a game I was in...
