[QUOTE="fenzer, post: 1765403, member: 506"] Hey Gang, I'm fishing for some feedback but I'll get to that in a minute. When we first heard of The World's Lagest Dungeon and the sheer craziness of it, we decided to take the craziness and run with it. We came up with only one rule to play, your character had to be first level, that was it. You were welcome to play whatever character you wanted from whichever game suited your fancy. We decided the plane of shadow would be the catalyst, scooping up poor unsuspecting adventures from across the mulitverse. To boot, the shadow would scoop up not only the character but any and everything within 5 feet. This led to some entertaining introductions, can you say Stuka Dive Bomber? :D We created a cast of characters quite diverse from a standard adventuring party. We have a jedi (Star Wars), a monk (D&D), a rogue (D&D), a wealthy business man (d20 Modern), a safe cracker (d20 Modern), a storm trooper (Star Wars), a German Stuka pilot (Weird Wars), a succubus sheriff from the New Mexico territories (Sidewinder:recoiled, D&D), and a Dralasite (d20 Future). We figured we'd go through characters quickly and suggested rolling out more than one. I thought it was time to introduce Star Trek to the mix. I have created a "Red Shirt", a poor security officer scooped up by the shadow. Creating the character was no big deal, d20 Future. Weapons conversion was a bit more interesting, however. Below is what I came up with for the Type-I and Type-II Phasers from TOS of Star Trek. I used bits from Modern, Future, Star Wars and my own imagination. Here you go: The Type-II Phaser is the standard issue side arm for Star Fleet personnel. Integrated into the Type-II Phaser is the Type-I Phaser. It sits atop the Type-II in a specially designed cradle. The Type-I can be separated from the Type-II and used independently from it. The Type-I contains an internal capacitor capable of holding a charge independent of the Type-II energy pack. The handle/grip of the Type-II Phaser is its energy pack. When the energy pack is depleted, the old pack is pulled free from the Phaser and a new pack snapped into place.
