So /tg/ what are your favorite plot hooks, BBEGs, monsters, and settings that you've blatantly lifted from other material
Mine was the whole Ninja World War from Naruto
Evil wizard takes apprentice and teaches him the greatest spell used my one of his former enemies so he can be resurrected
Gets rezzed and uses the spell to create an army of undead who have nigh unkillable bodies and all the skills and power they had in life
Made for some pretty cool moments when characters from previous campaigns showed up
Off topic, but I've been tempted to write a wizard-shonen- bullshit type of story. The variety of dumb powers in Naruto, Bleach and the like seem interesting to me, even if the actual story and characters don't.

Check Out Black Clover and Fairy Tail
Magic is fairly limited so each characters magic is themed so someone can use fire or ice but not both
Unless their gimmick is both
Guess everyone is always original all the time
haven't done it yet but I want to create a short delta green campaign based around the indigo sunset story of the comic greayshirt.
basically there's a huge ass saphaire that actually an egg of some horrible alien that's draining the lifeforce/souls of the locals to try and hatch/fully awaken using an intermediary known as "the lure" gangsters may or may not be involved and its up to our plucky team of government stooges to find out why people are shriveling up like husks and ultimately stop the egg from hatching basically killing the city and necessitating a "nuclear accident"spoiler: it wont be an accident
I've run the first Dresden Files novels as Hunter the Vigil scenarios (with the due adaptations of course). It went pretty well, and DF is one of the few sources I'm sure my players don't know.

>Green smoke rises from the recycling center and shambles into the streets with carbonated blood.
One last bump

Fairy Tail is shit, though. The fights and powerlevels are inconsistent and get changed however the plot demands it. People just read/watch it for the ecchi/fanservice aspect (which I fully understand)

True
But characters generally stick to a a specific theme or gimmick in terms of magic instead of being do everything wizards
And if you want to do any kind of story like>>46632609 was talking about you need distinct characters with distinct abilities
Especially if it involves wizards

I'm going to have Best Skeleton invade the reality that this game is taking place in. Of course, they attempt to take over. It's up to the party to decide if they are either going to help or fight this threat.

Send the trap elves duo first.

Ripped the idea of a church with a miracle cure and Hunters wholesale from Bloodborne, although its become so changed and diluted that they only share a uniform and name now.

Let me think...
>Ripping off Ravenous is always fun
>Ripping off westerns is always fun
>Ripping off X-Files episodes is always fun
But the best thing to actually rip-off are example scenarios for Game A and used while playing Game B. This way you've got short, condensed and well-designed scenario to start with with new and green players without actually having to work on it and not risking they've actually read through entire rule-book, example scenarios included.

Oh, also
>Ripping off Batman Beyond for cyberpunk scenarios is so much fun it goes well beyond the scale
>just finished running a mecha RPG
>basically everything was borrowed from Fafner, Rahxephon, Linebarrel or Code Geass
>players never realised
So that was how they were blindsided by an edgy kid called Ayato stealing their mech, a sickly girl called Shouko an hero-ing against a boss and more
The final bosses were homages to Linebarrel and Metal Gear REX
My next campaign is going to be a Jojo homage featuring Sir Phillip Collins of The Human League, Christine de Burgh, the Lady in Red, Professors George Benson and Peter Frampton and Emerson, Lake & Palmer of the Pinkertons
I have actually ripped off whole Scooby Doo Episodes for my CoC games.
No one ever noticed.

Care to give an example?
