    Default Parody D&D Session

    Awhile ago, my gaming group was BS'ing a bunch of things that could go in a parody D&D game. Unfortunately, no one was writing any of the ideas down and I can't remember them all now. I'm trying to come up with a short (1-2 session) parody campaign with all sorts of jokes and riffs on the real thing. Any suggestions?

    have them find a monster shopkeeper inside a dungeon selling magic items and fighting slaves for adventurers to kill for exp since he knows that he is gonna get killed for loot and exp otherwise so he might as well start a business to cater to adventurers coming in there.

    Have crates and barrels be CR 1 enemies with standard treasure.

    Have villagers flee at the PCs' approach(Wouldn't you?).

    Include a god or gods that offer the Loot, XP, and Munchkin domains.

    Pun-Pun as a god? Nice idea.

    Thanks. Some fun ideas there.

    The only few things I've remembered/thought of:

    A spell called Power Word: Blah (for all the times when the party goes power word blah to fill in a NPC or a PC who wasn't "there") [No clue what it does yet though...]

    The inevitable bunny from Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. (Or make it a real bunny when everyone expects that bunny...)

    An exotic weapon feat of dwarf tossing. Sure, halfing too, why not.

    The gazebo!

    Keep 'em coming!

    Since you're going for a parody game, would you still use the standard PC classes, or instead use NPC classes or d20 Modern PC classes even?

    Because in the case of the second, depending on the starting level, you could use some of my Commoner PrCs.

    Also toss in a cult of people who have transformed into bears and whose purpose in life is to make their lives as bearful as possible, by riding on bears and having tiny bear familiars and summoning bears.

    Doubt we'll stick with full standard classes. So I'll definitely check out those. Thanks!

    This was already done, and done very well. Go to YouTube, and look for "The Gamers" and "Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising".

    Put in a quest-giver who proceeds to betray them before he finishes even giving them the quest.

    The mysterious old man in the tavern is in the middle of "Wife-Swap..." with the leader of the Goblin tribe he's sending them after.

    The questgiver is a princess in a cave, and she hires the PCs to go rescue a dragon from an old man in the tavern.

    In similar vein something DragonFable pulled off: rescue a princess from a dragon dragon from the princess.
