Hook Thirteen: AMERICAN MCGEE'S CANDYLAND:  Players, charged by the slightly insane King Kandy, are hot on the trail of the evil Lord Licorice, who has framed the lumberjack Mr. Mint for the axe-murder of Princess Frostine and Grandma Nutt.  Gloppy, of the Chocolate Swamp, may or may not aid the players in their quest.

Ladder Thirteen: A Rubik's Cube that, when you attempt to solve it, appears to contain seven different colors.

Hook Five: "A group of shamans, working for Frobozz Electric, have a new invention.  It appears to be a water-driven wooden golem, possibly reinforced with stone.  It works tirelessly and only seems to need the output of a small stream to keep it running.  We need you to recover this device, if possible, or destroy it, if not."

Ladder Five: An aerial jungle survey in Borneo finds evidence of an ENORMOUS FUCKING SNAKE.

Hook two: A feral COBOL programmer, high on angel dust and absinthe, writes four hundred lines of code that, if compiled and run, will definitively disprove the existence of God.

Ladder two: Code Name: Archangel Uriel - a Vatican-developed EMP cannon, effective at 100 yards.

You should save him because he hasn't earned such an epic death.

I'll be honest with you...so far, "Haberdasher" is my favorite, and I really wish it was my idea.  I hope to Cthulhu you come up with a use for it in game.  It will bring a single manly tear to my eye.

PS - Spellchecker didn't recognize "Cthulhu," who writes these things?

If I run across this guy as my daughters play sports, I will do the rest of humanity a favor and kill him.

Pop culture elements will influence any imaginary and distant settings to varying degrees.

Ugh, yes.  Once my group encountered Gargarmaul...a horrifying cross between Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, and Gargamel from the Smurfs.  When our warrior finally knocked him down, I (the rogue-assassin) decapitated the motherfucker.

Then knocked down the other door. So it wouldn't be lonely, I guess.

C'mon, everyone knows that covering only half a doorway totally borks the feng shui.

And it's a LIBRARY for god's sake.  If it bothers you so much, then hit Kinko's, photocopy the pages you need, and RETURN IT.

Librarians aren't going to press charges.

Paper-cutter Dagger +1
Greatsword of Toasty Digits
Plague-Bringer Staff (infects everyone within a 15' radius with a common cold)

I love ridiculous magic items.

Similar story here.  When I was in high school, a state senator came and visited the Forensics association...forensics groups from all the high schools in this area. 
"I think it's great to see so many students interested in the medical side of our justice system."

Hilarity ensued.
