The guys want to play some DnD. Being the good sort that I am, I agree to DM. I have them make first-level characters.  I've got a character who I hardly ever get to play designed for a campaign that never got off the ground. So he becomes my pet NPC and sets them off on a mission -- his lands are being attacked by orcs, and he needs to know why.These first level guys mostly get slaughtered save one. I then have them make 5th level characters, with the one that survived getting to play the same character. A dwarven barbarian I believe.Rise, repeat. Eventually they get to 20th level characters. I believe there was a cleric of Al Bundy, a sorcerer with Wish (what else matters?), the dwarven barbarian (with an artifact-level weapon of orc-slaying that belonged to my favored NPC). I through an iron golem at them that could only say "None Shall Pass!"They left it, and wound up fighting The Tarasque. They murdered my poor little Tarrasque.Great Fun. We ignored the rules where appropriate and just had fun. Too many of our games have major plot arcs and are put the PCs in tragic situations. While those're good, the occasional fun romp is great, too.</blockquote>
