I once had a party that kept trying to buy the local tavern, so I finally relented and gave them a majority ownership in the establishment. I then revealed that it was cash negative, and heavily in debt, and that the owner only did that so he could pass the debt on to them, which took all their money. It also gave them a reason to take on jobs that they thought were "below them".

I loved how unhinged the "adventuring party" in Perdido Street Station came across. Even in a world full of cactus people and bug-headed ladies these guys are just absolute fucking freaks who are totally down to hunt some mind-eating hellmoths just for the hell of it

I'm pretty sure most dnd groups don't tip that much

Real life adventurers were often 3rd sons that roamed the countryside looking for work and robbing/stealing when they can't find any. There were probably tons of people just as chaotic as the average D&D party

One of my favorites is how Link and other adventurers are the worst vandals in the land. Imagine just chillin' in your cottage when this Elf-looking motherfucker just walks in and starts breaking open jelly, cookie, and pickle jars looking for loose change. Then he leaves after everything has been ransacked. If you try to question him he whips out some legendary sword worth billions to threaten you with.

This is just an average Shadowrun session
