William Shatner, in the Conservatory, with a Guitar Solo

You could make a great character- or scenario-generation system for a role-playing game by just picking one item from each category on the Periodic Table of Awesoments. I’m thinking some kind of Primetime Adventures game where you’re running a bad ’70s action TV show. “OK, So I’m Mister T with a Rocket and a Battle Axe, in Space, fighting Alien Ghosts with my pet Cobra! And I have to incorporate product placement bits for Beef Jerky and Beer.”

Or the world’s strangest Clue variant.
