Dang! I thought I was being so original. Hey Wizardru. I'm changing my mind on the new character for your game.

35. Regis makes a cameo appearance.

36. The DM can't come up with setting so the group becomes "Sliders" spending a week in Greyhawk, a week in the Forgotten Realms, a week at a John Tesh concert, etc...

38. Your players are watching TV and don't want to come back to the table, telling you "Quiet! It's the episode where Fonzie jumps the shark tank!"

I have seen a few D&D references made by posters on Fark. I grin when that happens.

How about when your DM starts giving you so much treasure you just write down '110k worth of jewels,' per combat, and then he tells you no matter where you are in the world you can buy whatever magic item you want, including made up ones with the magic item creation chart in the back of the DM's guide.

This actually happened.

For a campaign I ran several years ago, it was when the BBEG got away, and made his way into the 2nd level of Hell. The PCs got as far as Sigil to hunt him down, decided better of it, and went back home. Oh well.
