D&D General "One or More NPCs Associated with a Pre-Published Setting have Appeared in a D&D Campaign I have Run or Played In." (a poll)

[el-remmen]

By now you know the drill, simply vote if the following statement is true or false for you. . .

True or False: "One or More NPCs associated with a pre-published setting (Elminster, Mordenkainen, Dalamar, Drizzt, Tika, Khleban Blackstaff, Bigby, etc. . .) have appeared in a D&D campaign I played in or run."

Once again the statement is too long for the title and poll question field - so the above is the full version.

Have at it.

Age of Worms - in the next chapter, when we pick up in the fall, the group's going to meet Tenser. So, technically not true yet, but soon.

Not against it, just haven't ever done it.

I honestly can't vote in my own poll because I may have played in an FR game where we met some famous Harpers, but that was nearly 30 years ago and it is hazy AF. I might as well vote false, b/c it certainly hasn't happened since.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Only because I have run the current 5e hardcovers that feature them (without writing them out).

 

[James Gasik]

True, and I've regretted it almost every time. Unless you count the time Garl Glittergold persuaded a party to go into the Feywild while pretending to be a humble merchant. That was fun.

 

[Nikosandros]

Yes, for example, the PCs in one AD&D GH campaign did quite a bit of work for Melf and something for Mordenkainen as well. In my recently concluded Dragonheist game, the party interacted a bit with the Blackstaff and, at the end, they briefly met Laeral Silverhand

 

[wedgeski]

Sure. Not to mention PC's from a couple of ENW story hours.

 

[Stormonu]

Strahd, from Ravenloft in a non-I6 adventure, several times as either the primary antagonist or driving events. Letters from/to Mordenkainen in another campaign. Ran a convention PvP dungeon being overseen by Ivid V of the Great Kingdom, as execution entertainment for his nobles (think Running Man/Hunger Games in a dungeon).

Also have done some of the Dragonlance modules, so several there.

Like @payn said: I'm not against it, I've just never done it.
