So, a friend of mine recently turned 40 and for her birthday she asked that I would run a tabletop game at her party (we basically did a birthday con thing for her).
At 5PM the night before, I had nothing. Absolutely nothing in my brain to run. I had about 4 hours to put something together before going to bed, going to work the next morning, and then heading to the party.
Then I remembered talk of an actual play that while I didn't have time to listen to it, the basic ideas had been spoken of on the show and the forums and thus I knew within moments some wholesale stealing of ideas was going to save my sorry ass.
Within an hour Savage Worlds had 6 different Harrison Ford characters created. While my version had a showdown with a shirtless Vladamir Putin and his Mystical Putin Powers, it started in the bar with the glass breaking much like a certain actual play game.
The players greatly enjoyed it.
So thank you Stork for sharing an idea that saved my sorry ass.

There is no emergency six Harrison Fords can't fix.

My table hasn't caught on that every shadowrun they go on is given to them by the Yakuza, and the deadline is always two days time. The amount of stolen content that gets used around here is astounding, so I too echo your sentiment of thanks.
Also, upload your character sheets!

Sadly I gave the character sheets to the players.
While I have not stolen Nikoma for a game I will admit that some days at work become "Talk Like Nikoma" days but I don't explain to my employees or customers what is going on.

I wonder how many times, and how many variations the "Violet Nightfall" have popped up? I stole them for my Harry Potter aurors game...
