Quote from: JesterRaiin;907217Sir, you're evil and twisted human being with a strange sense of humor, and I'm glad we had a chance to exchange a few comments. :cool:

Thank you.  It was a career high-note for odd gaming.

I have photos from a colonoscopy. Somehow, I don't think my players would appreciate my using those for a game map.

It's one of the few times the players took more SAN loss than their characters when they found out where those photos I'd turned into a hexmap came from.

So the Starship Enterprise really DID explore Uranus?
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

In Barsaivian Earthdawn, I had a flooded kaer made just to use some of those water monsters I never get to use. It was really fun and interesting as they not only had to fight the monsters but also figure out how to maneuver around the kaer with all that water in the way of getting from chamber to chamber to eventually slay the Horror inside the kaer.

In Cathayan Earthdawn, I had an old ruined area with tons of ziggurats devoted to the Cathayan passions. It had a ton of pit traps and slavers had placed slave pens underneath them all to capture people who wandered into the area. It also had many other traps not set by the slavers including guard towers with crossbows automated by pressure plates for people going outside the confines of the worship areas by the people who made it originally. The slave traders had an operation of mining and blacksmithing below this level (they used the slaves they captured to mine and captured blacksmiths to forge weapons to arm an army to overthrow Tiet Dei. The PCs got in through a back door from Taolin. They followed an underground river that ran underneath the inn  of Taolin to the mines and avoided most of the stuff on the first floor (This was how they got their food and water to the mine). In a later adventure they wanted to disarm all the traps and brought in a drunken thief to disarm them. They also faced terra cotta animated statues of Passion Guardians when they approached the ziggurats.  So I ended up getting two adventures out of the set up.

But of games I've run, Earthdawn, D&D, Shaintar, and Necessary Evil have been high fantasy/supers, but not too high on the weird scale.

Oh, that reminds me of something cool. I ran an Earthdawn game where the player's home Kaer used to be an island city before the Scourge, but the leaders had decided to build an underwater Kaer by sinking the island. I ran the game at the end of the Scourge. Everyone who had business outside the air-dome of the city required the "breathe underwater" blood-charms and we had 4-5 sessions of play exploring the kelp fields and coral reefs that served as the city's food sources. Tense moments were getting jumped by the enemy Ork Beastmaster and her 2 giant stingray companions (Shadowmants underwater, lol), and also interrupting the ritual that was summoning a living vortex (a minor Horror) onto one of the outlying Watch Towers to weaken the city's magical protections (the watch towers having their own air domes connected to the city's for circulation).

In my DCC game the PCs visited a twisted parody post-apocalyptic version of the city of Buenos Aires.  Uruguayans love mocking Argentina, and especially Buenos Aires, so it was well received, especially because they didn't realize this in advance, and it took a bit for it to dawn on them that this was where they were.

They also visited the Island of the Party Pandas.

Oh, and currently they just finished an adventure in a Minotaur Underwear Factory.

I ran a heavily mutated Traveller/Gamma World mashup where the PCs were mutated microbes inside the spacesuit of a dead astronaught drifting in the void. That was pretty weird.
