Look at all the big webcomics (or at least some of my favourites); while most of the time they're so tongue in cheek that they look like an elephant with a lip disorder, when things get serious everyone pays attention, simply because they've grown to love the characters and, because of this emotional attachment, really care about what happens to them.That said, I hope there are (incompetent) authorities with anti-drug use laws (or 'concerned citizens', ie. vigilantes) where you're adventuring, so they can chase your stoner around and never actually catch him, but set off humourous escapades in the process. These guys work well as Wile E. Coyote types, with elaborate plans that always backfire or are just plain stupid.For an interesting madcap adventure, check out the second Beatles film, 'Help!'. It's in colour, you know. And it's also much fun to watch. The plot (such as it is) has Ringo discovering that his ring is Kaili's Ring Of Sacrifice, and now the cult of Kaili wants him dead... but first they must paint him red (it's a ritual sacrifice). The ring won't come off, which is the real problem, and its unusual (read: unbreakable even by industrial lasers) properties bring it to the attention of a pair of mad scientists who also chase the Beatles with all manner of unlikely gadgets. Things get very unusual from there on in. Really, you should watch it; it sounds just right for this campaign. Heck, it's a good film period.</blockquote>
