A wizard appears at your DnD table and makes everyone else vanish. He tells you that he will summon three famous people who have lived in the real world, past or present, of your choice, to play a DnD game with you DM'd by the Wizard. If you can all complete his custom one-shot without anybody permanently dying, these people are permanently available to you as a weekly DnD group. (you must find a new DM and you can't use the power to get rich/famous) If you lose, nothing bad happens. You may choose the edition of DnD most familiar to you. (Pathfinder is allowed, as is any similar game system that can't be exploited for an insti-victory) All the players summoned will automatically have encyclopedic knowledge of the game, but you will only retain the knowledge you have. The three people summoned will make a considerable effort to stay in character and actively role play. They can all speak your most fluent language. You may choose what level your characters start as, and the challenge of the encounter will be scaled accordingly. The encounter will be fair and the wizard will not fudge rolls. Who do you pick, what edition do you pick, and do you choose your party level? Me: Vin Diesel Patrick Stewart Genghis Kahn Pathfinder Level 12.

Erich von Stroheim, William S Burroughs and Franz Kafka. The game would be Mutants and Masterminds, power level 8 and the setting would be something cyber-punky or transhuman. Otherwise, if we could find the books, I think it would be fun to play Over the edge.

Christopher Lee, Ian Fleming, and J.R.R. Tolkien. We'll be playing HeroQuest, First Edition in Glorantha. I have no idea what appropriate power levels are, but it's safe to say that we'd use the prose character creation method. Otherwise, it'd be Warhammer Fantasy 2nd Edition.

Andy Kaufman, Frederick the Great and Stanislaw Lem Andy would gently caress with the GM playing mind games and lateral solutioning all the dumb puzzles the DM throws at us, while we chill and laugh. If DM got really tryhard on this "winning" thing, we'd let Fritz micro the battles as he sees fit while we drink beer and shoot poo poo. Lem would probably have little to contribute and would therefore just chill and riff on the inevitably trite fantasy story the wizard throws at us. Actually, Andy Kaufman would roll a Pun-Pun

Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan. 4th edition. The wizard will probably end up doing dumb linear fighter, exponential wizard poo poo anyway so hopefully these players won't put up with it.

For some reason, I've been incredibly bored for the past hour and I got thinking about something. If I could invite any twenty people I didn't know for dinner, alive or dead, real or fictional, who would I invite? Here's what I came up with: 1. MacGyver - This person is my hero of the moment. MacGyver is actually a big reason why I decided to major in physics. I'm not up on the whole getting shot at thing, but I would like to have some sort of job where I'm out in the field or otherwise using physics and other mechanics know-how to solve problems. Furthermore, he saves the world without having to resort to firing off hundreds of clips or having the roundhouse kick of death. He uses his brain very well. 2. Cao Cao - Who wouldn't want to have dinner with Emperor Wu of Wei? He was one of the most capable and savvy generals of the Three Kingdoms Era. Furthermore, it's widely thought that he had an incredibly unscrupulous personality, but there is only bits and pieces of proof to validate this claim. I'd like to see if he's really the cur people make him out to be. 3. Excel - HAAAAAAAAIL ILPALAZZO! The very attractive and hyper main character of Excel Saga would certainly be welcome at my table. She adds life to any room or situation, regardless of whether you want it or not. Moreover, I don't have any pets, so I don't really have to worry about keeping them safe. 4. Reno - He's a Turk and he's a goofball too. He exhibits the most confidence as well and is most interested in simply doing "cool stuff" of the group. 5. Tifa Lockhart - What? Another Final Fantasy VII character? Yes. In the original game, she is moderately decent looking, but in Advent Children, she suddenly became the single-hottest created [rendered, animated, etc.] female I have ever seen before. I would spend lots of time at the table just staring at her like I'm a complete moron. Hopefully, she wouldn't decide to Final Heaven me into next week. 6. Maze - He seems like the hardened battle general of Fable and it's a shame that he couldn't even be a moderately decent human being. Yet, I somehow find him intriguing to the point that I even made a character based on him in an RPG once. 7. Kurt Angle - Kurt Angle is incredibly accomplished as an NCAA and Olympic champion and a sports entertainer in WWE. His wrestling ability is incredible and he's become an international superstar. I'd most definitely want to hear some of the stuff he'd have to say. 8. Kate Beckinsale - I love her and want her to be the mother of my children. Then again, millions of other guys on the planet feel exactly the same way. I enjoyed her work in both Underworld movies and in Alice and Wonderland. I'll pretend she wasn't associated with Van Helsing. I'm interested in seeing Click... Is that any good? 9. Ayane - She's quite a violent female that I would never want to cross... Yet that purple hair is so alluring. 10. Moses - I'd have to ask him about the Exodus. What was it like having to keep his party under control while running away from Egypt? What was his favorite plague? Were those stone tablets heavy? 11&12. Jay and Silent Bob - A banquet can't be complete without the ultimate duo of the womanizing pothead and the guy who just kicks rear end. I can only imagine if Jay decided he wanted to hit on one of the women in my party who can legitimately and effortlessly annihilate people. 13. Shaun - I want to learn the art of anti-zombie cricket bat warfare from this guy. Furthermore, I can have nothing but respect for a normal guy with normal guy problems being thrown into the oddest and most absurd life-threatening situation known to man and living to talk about it. 14. Rogue - Rogue of The Cruxshadows, Mr. Pineapple Head, himself, would be the goth and indie music guy at the table. Of all the people I've mentioned or am going to mention, he's the only person I've physically spoken to before. He has this incredibly dry and witty sense of humor that can cut like a knife. 15. Chuck Norris - "Chuck Norris never sleeps! He waits!" Ok. No. But, I would feel an incredible obligation to invite the subject of one of the largest Internet phenomeona, just to torture him with every random generator fact there is. I never really liked Chuck Norris much. I found Walker: Texas Ranger to be practically unwatchable. A friend of mine and I both decided our favorite fight scene of his was the one where he lost to Bruce Lee. 16. General Beatrix - More eye candy. I'd have to ask her what it was like having to listen to people pretend to be enamored with Queen Brahne when everyone [except Brahne] knew they'd much rather snuggle up with either Garnet or her. 17. Ann Coulter - So abrasive... So cutting... Such manly hands... Such deep conservative values... Such raw wit... And she'd wear a slinky cocktail dress to the occasion. 18. Jeff "CJayC" Veasey - Why on Earth would I invite the administrator of GameFAQs to my banquet? Simple. He's so incredibly mysterious and I would savor a chance to find out more about the ever-esoteric administrator of a site that I've regularly gone to for over six years. Nobody knows anything about this guy. I simply must know. 19. Aeris - No, this isn't another Final Fantasy VII choice. I'm actually referring to the character from the webcomic, VG Cats. Whether she's running a D&D game, beating the hell out of Leo, or just alerting people of "Wii," she's one of my favorite characters in a webcomic. 20. Ash - To top it all off though, my favorite webcomic character is Ash Upton from <I>Misfile</I>. If I invited her to dinner, I'd have to ask her, "What's it like being forced into a gender you weren't a year ago and not being able to do anything about it?" I'd then ask her to hook me up with a car, because I don't have one right now. ;_; And, there we have it. These are the twenty people I'd invite if I had a banquet. If any of you want to do this, here are the ground rules: - The people can be alive or dead, real or fictional. - They have to be people or other humanoid creatures. For instance, Lassie wouldn't work. - They don't have to be famous, but can't be your buddies or anyone else you could realistically just call up and have dinner with on the spot.

Nathan Fillion, young Lily Tomlin, Scott Thompson and...probably Anna Kendrick. We will play Dungeon World since that's the closest I play or run to actual D&D (unless the D&D part is mandatory, in which case the edition I am most familiar with is 3rd and I'm going to be the one who fucks it up for everyone). If it can be any game though, I call upon the righteous fury of Vin Diesel (playing a Philodox), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (playing an Ahroun), Eartha Kitt (playing a Theurge), Carey Elwes (playing a Ragabash) and myself as the Galliard to defend Gaia in a truly cheesy, over the top epic game of Elder-level Werewolf The Apocalypse. Dibs on the Shadow Lords.
