Random Idea: Adventure Time RPG

Adventure Time is one of my favourite cartoons of recent, heck it might be one of my favourite shows in general. The show is about the a boy named of Finn along with his dog/best friend Jake and their adventures throughout the magical land of Ooo. The world of Adventure Time is something that I really want to try and use as a campaign setting.

My idea would involve the PCs playing as a group of kids who have been magically transported to the Land of Ooo, trying to figure out how it is that they arrived and how they can return home. Summoned by Princess Bubblegum, the ruler of Candy Kingdom, they learn that Ooo's two greatest adventurers (Finn and Jake) have dissappeared and that a great evil is coming. It is up to the PCs to find the duo and save the world.

While it's not the most original storyline in the world, I feel that it's something that suits the Adventure Time perfectly. A group of kids in a magical world partaking in a dungeon crawling adventure full of peril....what's there not to love?

  1. You could probably rig up the Occupation table for DCC to have different kid types (spazzy kid, band member, not-quite-as-pretty best friend and so forth) and use that glorious rpg as a basis.

    It could be pretty adventure-timey if you play up the humor and tone down the lethality just a bit.
