Creative player ideas for in-game items, zones, etc.

Talk about the game. What game? The game with the power? What power? The power of ... aw, skip it.

You start to use your weapon, but your foe strikes first. You feel a jarring thud at the spot where the side of your neck meets your shoulder. The blow brings you to your knees. Everything swims in front of you for a second, and then another blow hits you, and another. You collapse to the ground, barely conscious.

The hooded man stands over you for a second and then delivers one last ferocious kick. You writhe on the ground, and everything dissolves into pain ...

You come to some indefinable time later, battered and barely able to move. You lie still for a moment, gathering your strength, wondering if you're going to live through the night.

You pull yourself towards a dumpster and attempt to use it to stand up, but you can't muster enough strength. Slowly you slide back to the ground, lying helplessly on the cement. Staring up though the glare of the street light to the nearly starless sky above, you wonder what to do next.

As you lie there, you notice an unusual orange glow coming from underneath the dumpster.
If your slugger is still there, you're too out of it to look for it, and then far too distracted by the talisman. Chances are, the car thief wouldn't just leave a weapon within your reach and took it with him.

Amusingly enough, the character I used to get this information then went to the dumpster and got a puppet after 10 turns :D

You just want me to hate you, don't you? You're making it to easy.

I think it's a pretty awesome idea. And funny.

an inconvenience store. Everything costs 20-30x autosell, it takes a turn to make a purchase, and even takes a turn to enter and look around. It could, however, stock anything auto-sellable.

For once you are both correct. It's a funny idea to contemplate, yet horrible if implemented.

Oh, and from some odd reason the banana phone idea just made me laugh loudly in a room full of people. Shame on you.

Shimering Chaos + Unbranded Jalopy

Horse of the Apocalypse: Vehicle
Range: infinite?

+pp/turn
+hp/turn
-time/turn
something weird here like the invincibility or a super attack.. or maybe just a discount on the stores?

How in earth did you managed to make a jalopy into a horse???
Perhaps we did not discovered the real power of the Chaos

Hi guys. I'm only on dry land for a few days, and I got lots of other stuff to do, so I gotta make this quick. Here's some ideas I wrote down while I was away...

1. Some Talismans based on that famous heroic team...
-a. Lion Eyes: These glowing cat's eye contact lenses are sure to lionize you and give you Sight Beyond Sight. But for some reason, they make your sidekick really whiney and annoying. Let everybody see them. 'Cause, honey, you can't hide those Lion Eyes.
+X% Strength
+X% HP
-X% Sidekick effectiveness
-b. Cheetah Leotard: This is a one-piece form-fitting leotard that you can wear underneath your regular clothes. And I do suggest you wear some clothes over it. They'll afford you greater freedom of movement, and you'll feel a lot more graceful. However, you'll find less loot. Why? Because cheetahs never prosper!
+X% Reflexes
+X% Combat Initiative
-X% Item and Chip Drops
-c. Panther Ears
(Some strengthsI haven't thought of yet)
(Some weakness I haven't thought of yet)
-d. Tiger Stripes
(Some strengthsI haven't thought of yet)
(Some weakness I haven't thought of yet)

2. Nail Gun + Welding Torch = Fire Drill

3. Coconut shells as a mode of transportation. Or they could give your sidekick the skills of blocking attacks ("Message for you, sir!") or augmenting your own attacks ("Idiom, sir?" "Idiom!")

Anyway, I'm leaving now. When I come up with some more ideas, I'll post them here.
EDIT: Added a bad pun to 1.b. above.
