The first was my buddy was playing in an early 90s Dark Sun campaign. They somehow got transported to then present-day earth. While there he got hold of a double barrel shotgun and brought it back to Athas. The party got the brilliant idea that this must be powerful enough to kill the Dragon Sorcerer-King Borys. Foubd his lair, talked all kinds of smack, pointed the gun and pulled the trigger and nothing happened. His DM told him something to the effect that because gunpowder didn't exist on Athas the gun didn't work. Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, I think it was the right call by the DM to not let the PCs take out such a strong NPC that easily.One game store I used to go to, I got to know the owner and we;d trade game stories. He played in an Undermoutain campaign, and he said the party used to periodically run into a yuppie dressed in a 3-piece suit carrying a briefcase. He was always confused and never knew where he was and constantly trying to make sense of the fantasy realm he was now in. He was always just a really random encounter, he never attacked, and the party never attacked him. Thye'd interact for a bit then be on their way. I think the DM kind of led them on that there was some reason he was in the campaign, but they never did find out. Halaster must've captured him and taken great joy in watching this poor sap suffer.</blockquote>
