I've already had a bunch of folks in Winnipeg outright state: "When the Apocalypse happens, I'm hiding behind you."

One of them even works for the Canadian Armed Forces (Admittedly as a civilian.).

I've had the same. More frequently though after I designed my house that runs off of poop.

Hopefully they don't do it anymore. My previous boss, according to his contractor friends, did it often (though not housewarming). Then again, he showed more than a few signs of ASPD.

I want all of you to know that you are invited to my military installation when I take it over. It's in a river with no running water or power. Come. Fort Carroll will be mine, oh yes. It will be mine.

Just taking over a single installation? Cute.

I only need one. It's not like a need a winter and summer fort. And it's not so much taking over as squatting. Or enacting Adverse Possession.

At least you didn't have to play Dragonstorm (that RPG that's a card game that's an RPG) where you got transported to Ponyville for "screwing with the forces of magic too much" and seriously considering the idea of "turning into a dragon (or werewolf, though 3 of the 4 players were dragons) and setting fire to the place and eating all of the inhabitants" and abandoning that notion when upon becoming a dragon the ENTIRE VILLIAGE goes "OOoooooh! A DRAGON!" and tries to get autographs.

Depends upon what you mean by "Worse."

Mind Fuck Mage casts Alter Memory. On the party. After every run. Rewriting the details. And turning it into an acid trip.

I know only one person who'd even be capable of running the game the mind fuck mage is a part of.

Only one.

And he's been recruited into the secret service, never to be seen again.

One of my groups (I was actually a player for once in this one) fought a group of circus performers (2 elves, 2 humans and an Ork, I believe. Don't remember the genders) who used a few fun tricks. They could all climb buildings rather well (and one got shot with an incindiary arrow right off the bat), and in closer range, a bubble spell kept us from causing too much trouble (I think it was a manipulation, because we only suffered penalties, no damage that I remember. But, it could have been an illusion, too.) That particular guy evaded a few bursts from an assault rifle, too.

I don't know. Do you know how much people usually pay for an acid trip? They're getting it, and paid, for free essentially!

The horrible thing is that, if I was using such a character, I wouldn't need a regular team. Just a knowledge of where to find skilled people. Suddenly, they remember agreeing to work with me on a job. And then it's over, and it was all a bad dream, and nobody knows WHAT the bartender put in those drinks...

EDIT: I believe I have finally solved the mystery of "I went to the bar, and next thing I know, it's a month later, I'm in Salt Lake City, wearing clothes I've never seen, with ten grand in the pocket."

Heh.

While that's certainly a possibility, the idea is to confuse the crap out of the players.
