Crossover games?

How many people have done this? Have you sent your D&D party to fight Deep Ones, Shoggoths, or Cthulhu (depending on level)? Encountered vampires with Auspex, Celerity, or Obfuscate?

Interesting idea. Before an adventure to rescue a town that's besieged by monsters and villains play a round of Bargain Quest. Skip the boring travel bits to get there by playing the journey as Celestia. Then when things go wrong, the PCs have to escape in Survive: Escape from Atlantis!

It fell apart when we hit the summer break, but in the early 90s I had been in a campaign that was essentially Quantum Leap, but instead of jumping through time when we solved a problem, we'd jump into another game system. The GM would make new character sheets for us and deal them out randomly after a jump. In the end I think it was done more to satisfy the GMs predilection to getting bored with games, but it was fun enough.

Early RPGs had all kinds of conversion tables. It would be fun to figure out how to redo your characters, as long as they were starting out. More advanced characters would be more difficult.
