My old Dm Used to occasionally run a game where everyone rolled a pc that could fit into a cartoon show, and every game was an episode of this cartoon show.

I played an anime inspired character that could turn into a robot for no reason that was ever explained, and sometimes he gained the ability to turn into different kind of robots. The character never shut up about the power of friendship, and had an ever-evolving backstory that made less and less sense as we played more one shots, including:

  1. He was his own father somehow
  2. he had to go go to the future to make this happen for some reason
  3. he was searching for his sibling so that he could stop him from becoming my pc. His sibling was from the future and had travelled back to the past, so that he could kill my pc
  4. he could telepathically communicate with plants using the power of friendship. The plants had nothing to say because they were plants
  5. his father was some kind of evil god. Somehow he was still his own father. The contradiction was never explained at all
  6. There was an orb in his chest that contained the source of all friendship in the universe that he could use to launch friendship based attacks for some reason

There were more details I can't recall. When I spoke it was always long rambling monologues that sounded like terrible dubbing.

Futurama's "nasty in the pasty" was funny, but I gigglesnorted and choked on coffee on the care bear stare.

Some may not like it but this is what the perfect campaign looks like

Oddly reminiscent of Steven Universe. Is his own mother, who was some kind of (evil?) god, has an orb in his belly button, launches friendship based attacks.

Never heard of Steven universe.

Interesting though. I guess it's really all been done.
