[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 3332177, member: 16936"] We played a Scarred Lands campaign a while back where the GM incorporated Monte Cook's "Banewarrens" adventure. At the end of that, we returned to Shelzar and shared the story around a little. I seem to remember that our monk (from the library at Lokil) had commissioned a small book about it to send back to the library as a gift, and that got spread around a bit, too. It caught the public's attention, and within a few weeks one of the local theaters was putting on a play about us and our exploits. It was, of course, as close to our actual adventure as a made-for-TV movie is to an actual event: the monk had mysteriously changed race and was romantically entangled with our hot paladin chick, another PC had become the somewhat-dim comic relief character, that kind of thing. We got a good laugh out of it and a little recognition, but Shelzar being what it was, within a month or so it was ancient history and other people were getting their fifteen minutes instead. Plus, it was difficult to recognize us if all you'd seen was the play. Didn't do much for us in terms of discounts or attracting unwanted attention (which we had more than enough of already), but I think we got a few party/dinner invitations out of it and occasionally we could attempt to trade on our "fame," with mixed results. -- the session where we went to go see the play about ourselves was hilarious ryan [/QUOTE]
