[QUOTE="D.Shaffer, post: 3369306, member: 8918"] I have trouble picturing anyone saying this with a straight face. Lots of anime is incredibly easy to mine for story ideas, just like any other media source. I wouldnt just file the names off but anime uses the same type of story structure many long term campaigns use. Here's an example of campaign idea pulled from an anime series. A group of adventurers must travel to a higher plane in order to rescue a friend who has been imprisoned by an order of celestials for crimes and is soon to be executed. They must first find a way into the city the celestials occupy while making friends and enemies among the people. Along the way, they have the chance to fight several of the less powerful leaders of the celestials and discover that many of the celestials themselves are unsure why this friend is being treated so harshly, to the point that several of them can be convinced to help the heroes in their rescue attempt. Eventually, they find out that one of the celestials has fallen and is using this execution to destroy a powerful artifact that could destroy his future plans. Are you going to say this is 'nothing of value?' [/QUOTE]
