An arc where Draig wants a shot at dating Peanut, so Kitsune changes her mortal form to be more accommodating and gives her three days to get him to kiss her.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

I'm not sure Kitsune would try to give Draig any sort of incentives or a prize. She IS supposed to be punished after all.

RP possibility then? Kitsune probably misses the U&U sessions, even he’s not experiencing time in the same way Draig and Craig are, he probably would spring at the chance to kinda continue the game

I mean, this thread is called "Arcs that would never happen, but are fun to think about". Not likely to happen is pretty much a guarantee around here :P

What could be fun (but I don't think it will happen) is an arc in which somehow a door to another dimension opens up and some of the pets are drawn inside.
The other dimension would be one, in which Pets are their own independ beings and it's also some sort of sword&magic world.
I know we had some fantasy arc with Temple crashers (both of them) but I would also like to see how the Pets would react to a world in which they dominate and humans don't exist :mrgreen:

That might make the arc funnier, actually, imagine the club members thinking that their clubhouse might be destroyed but at least they have donuts, and the donuts turn out to be inedible.

For that to be funny and not totally sad, the clubhouse has to somehow still be erect in one piece. :lol:

Also, Bino needs to get hit in the face with batter.

Well, the clubhouse itself is still standing but everything inside is destroyed, and Bino tries to get cocky and take over the donut making only to get whacked in the face by batter ejected by an out of control (thanks to Bino) mixer.

Tiger and Marvin get a call from Zach saying that the Opener cult is holding him against his will and they need to come rescue him.

Marvin: Come on, Tiger. Zach needs our help.
Tiger: Why should I help him?
Mavin: He's our friend and former housemate.
Tiger:.............
Marvin: *Sigh. Because if you don't help, I'll tell Jerry that you started a tab at the pizza place under his name.
Tiger: What are you waiting for? Zach needs our help.

Is it wrong for me to think that Marvin also wouldn't care about Zach and that he was being held captive since Zach like almost everybody else seems to have forgotten about him?

I have faith that Marvin would care. He’s put up with Tiger all these years so the dude must have a heart of gold.

Either that or he just tunes that and everything out and is completely apathetic to everything and anything which admittedly, I can also see being a possibility.

The Sandwiches eventually get their own version of a Flanders family - the Toast family.

And they are twice as good as Peanut and Grape ~ Peanut Toast and Grape Toast.

Rex gets amnesia after he is hit on the head as one of Bino's schemes goes wrong, leading him to become convinced he's a tour guide for European travelers. Everyone would work to get him help but not until after he's done taking them on a beautiful tour of historic Copenhagen.

With NHL players unavailable it now somehow falls to Fox to save America's pride by leading the U.S. Men's Hockey team to the gold medal at the Winter Olympics. The fact this role has somehow fallen to a random dog underscores how seriously we're in trouble. King is forced to lace up his skates for the first time as a corgi as while he was still Joel he briefly had a three-game stint as a goon with the Erie Otters and the whole "I got turned into a dog" thing isn't as relevant as trying to get players with some kind of pro or semi-pro experience.

The Devil comes to Babylon Gardens looking for souls to steal as he's in a bind and way behind, looking to make a deal. When he comes across Fiddler and Keys performing, playing their instruments hot, he jumps up on hickory stump and forces them into a musical duel for their souls. Fiddler and Keys beat him and banish him back to Hell and in exchange receive a solid gold Gibson Les Paul guitar for their efforts...which is worthless as neither one of them knows how to play guitar.

that's ridiculous. and i think it's also a mighty ducks movie.

and THAT is a rehash of an old music video for a well known song.

if you're going to go THAT far, you may as well have the 200th arc be a handful of characters sitting around bemoaning the absurdity of Pit's latest cinematic endeavor that they have the misfortune of critiquing the script of, and making nonstop inside jokes about the production of the actual comic. all while Bino periodically tries to "Pitch" bad knockoffs of animes from joey's collection to Pit, but gets caught a few sentences in each time, until he finds one so obscure it stumps pit.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Agreed, a mild rule of thumb for the future, if it’s in here, the author of the idea likely knows these are ideas they don’t predict will show up, and might not even be good if they were to be made. Try to keep that in mind and just laugh about it if someone actually got a prediction right

I wasn't trying to be demeaning when I said that. It was just my own thoughts when it came to thinking up arcs and that they weren't original.

Honestly, I'm starting to get annoyed that people can have such a level on condescension if I ask a question or I post something somebody doesn't agree with.
