Wierdest place Your Fantasy Game ever got to?

What bizzare locations have you done in your fantasy RPG? I'm talking stuff like "my PCs travelled to the inside of a sun in order to fight some Fire Elementals that were up to no good".

That one is probably still my best example. Though I have a couple of other memorable ones..

One time Doc Phostarius fought some shoggoths inside a crashed and malfuctioning TARDIS.  The internal dimensional controls were on the fritz and one level of the place was mapped with polar coordinate graphpaper.

The game was AD&D.

Abyssal Maw

Inside a magical snowglobe.

The PCs were ultra-miniaturized into a genie's prison, a magical christmas-themed snowglobe.

There was a gigantic candycane, kinda like the lap-post of Narnia that marks the entry point where characters start out. There was a tribe of halfling eskimos who worshipped a rabbit god, so they wore little snow-parkas with rabbit ears. There was a tribe of gigantic anthropomorphic penguins. There was a robotic girl trapped in a block of ice. .. There was an entire city tunneled inside a floating iceberg.  There was an insane toymaker creating various jack-in-the-box golems.

I've had characters from three subsequent D&D campaigns revisit that place and it keeps getting weirder. Usually I do it around the holidays. This year, the PCs opted not to follow the plot thread that would have gotten them into the snowglobe, but I think they might revisit later.

An Immortal level D&D game set in the dream(s) of a mad god. (But hasn't everyone :cool: )

I once had a party (RC D&D) travel to a water world (alternate plan) where people (and other creatures) lived on giant icebergs.  I think I ripped it off of an Ian Banks novel.

I also had an alternate plane that consisted of giant floating 'trees' in a gaseous cloud.  (Idea ripped off from a Larry Niven novel.)

Hmmm ... not that weird.  Or at least not that original.

Not a game I ran, IIRC, but one I played in. . . the set of The Price is Right in Hell. Oh. And I guess I've run that old High Fantasy adventure that takes place in the relief carvings adorning a deity's wooden ale mug.
 

Aos

a vast artificial world located inside a huge sculpted stone head afloat in the outer ether. The characters entered through a nostril.

One I heard of consisted people living inside an enormous, hollowed out, tooth hundreds of miles across. Note that the people didn't have slaves, they had indentured servants.

Anyway...

One of my players once had his character travel across a land inhabited by dinosaur versions of fantasy races. He was transported by a dromaeosaurid gnome wizard in a flying saucer made of (literally) earth and sky, and powered by song.

Thought of another one:  an eons-ruined city built inside the brainpan of the broken skull of one of the original titans, floating on the astral plane.

Warthur

It was a modern day occult wierdness game which had been getting decidely strange. We ended up getting taken on a tour of the mountain-range-sized fortress which was merely one of hundreds erected around the world we know to prevent human beings escaping into the real world, by an NPC who wanted to dissuade us from our continued escape attempts. That was a pretty intense session.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Blackthorne

I did battle with my archnemesis in hell. That was pretty cool, but I guess not that weird.

My players found themselves at the Dragon Well, where dragons go to die, a near endless boneyard where the Guardian of the Well could animate the skeletons to defend the Well from intruders.

They also found themselves at the site of a titanic showdown between Tiamat and the Cult of the Dragon vs. Bahamut's Court, after the fact. Tiamat's side won, leaving 7 great wyrm gold dragon skeletons scattered around a massive fissure in the earth. I like dragon skeletons as a backdrop.
