I was running my game this weekend and the party happened upon some slavers. The slavers were dispatched with little incident, but one of the slavers was left alive. The player who has a character history of being a slave began his interrogation and questioned the slaver as to where he was taking the slaves.
(I had not planned on this.)
As I struggled for an answer, I blurted out "Bartertown". The player got a smirk on his face as he asked "And who run Bartertown?"
I said.........."Master Blaster runs Bartertown."
So now I am getting ready to design a dungeon and a boss. I was thinking a troll Fighter with a gnome caster strapped to his back. This should be fun.

I am thinking about master blaster as a gnome sitting on the back of a troll in a baby backpack like caddy.
Since I want this to be an adversary that the adventurers can't stop easily I am thinking Die Hard as a good feat for the troll.
Once this is done I can have fun with spells like enlarge and haste. Anyone else have ideas?

1. Amazing Mogart like usual most of your posts are in fact solid gold.
2. do the players know about thunderdome? if not don't let on at all
3. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/fighter/archetypes/paizo---fig hter-archetypes/unbreakable is the class that naturally comes to mind when I think of a troll with a gnome sorcerer on his back
4.bear trap!

Did your PC's understand the origin of the reference?
If not, my advice to you is to claim as much credit for an "original idea" as is possible with them. They'll never know until years later when you will get a late night phone text starting with " Why you sunnuva..."

Thanks Lobolusk
A few of the players know the movie.
Aah the days of the bear trap. Yep after the bear trap hammer came into existence the players started getting creative. Bear trap arrows, bear trap chain weapons with reach, bear trap nets, a wand of magic missile-bear trap, a tank like vehicle with auto-resetting bear trap wheels that would roll over people and do multiple bear trap damage as it rolled, the list goes on. The DM eventually made a blanket statement that bear traps simply don't exist in his campaign.
On a side note.....
My players acquired a potion with a label on it that read, "Potion of Ultimate Power Warning: Do not drink this."
They got it identified: The potion contained the spells Permanency and Eagle's Splendor.
So.........the male Monk chugged it..........and made a fortitude save (I set the save to 17)........and passed out...........and woke up as a Woman with a +2 Cha bonus.....
Since the Monk is not a normal player race he/she is somewhat exotic, so I will have a business man approach him/her to see if he/she wants to take part in the oldest profession in the world. If the Monk says yes, funny stuff will happen.
(Messing with players really is half the fun)
