Here's an easy recipe for hilarity: take a handful of gamers, add some rulebooks and lorebooks, shake in some dice (optional), and add a [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]] or two. Season to taste.

* The classic AD&D module "I6: Ravenloft" is a thrilling, wonderfully-planned and -mapped Gothic vampire hunt, full of genuine scares and [[Genre Savvy]] tributes to old Universal and Hammer horror films. It plays it out as straight as can be ... until you get to the underground crypts, and realize that every tomb's engraving is some [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] that wouldn't amuse a six-year-old. Definitely a this-didn't-happen for [[Fanon Discontinuity|fans]] and [[Canon
* The "Unglued" and "Unhinged" ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' sets were created when Wizards of the Coast decided to stop being so serious and make a set (twice) parodying their game. The resulting expansion sets gave players the ability to summon [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=74236 Carnivorous Death-Parrots], [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=9666 a goblin bowling team],[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=5824 a band made up entirely of clams] and [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=9669 an Elvis-impersonating elf]. Naturally, none of these concepts have been revisited since.
