A group of aggressive land walking squids that try to highway rob the players for their pocket lint. They will attack if need be, mostly with verbal assaults and foam bats, while quickly running away from aggressive actions.

A man in loin cloth carrying a wooden railroad tie. He is suspicious of the players, but looks favorably upon those who know self sacrifice.

0004.
A talking car that is in dire need of gas as well as a good tune up.  It's battery is also almost used up and wants one fina ridel...on "The Loop". “Some say it's where good cars go die, others, a great traffic jam never to be decongested."

0005.

You get BAMFed to another dimension. (dm rolls d20s for the origins of 4 other npcs. And determines local on their own) you now have 12 seconds to stay alive in this new world, where you are fragile as ever. The traveling through space and time takes it's toll. You look to your left and notice your double(and exact copy of you) standing there. What do you do?

0008.
An anthropamorphic chain-smoking cactus helicopter pilot offers the group a lift to circumvent an encounter further down their path in exchange for some omega tech.

0009.
The group stumbles upon a cult in a burned out McDonalds. Their McCleric regales them with allegorical tales of a nameless ancient mutant prophet and his disciples, a yellow feathered Hawkoid and a Purple Radioactive Sesmic. The tales typically revolve around a humaniod burglarizing the group only to be outwitted by the trope, but ultimately forgiven and invited to share in their treasures. They emblaze a golden M on their armor and standards.

0010.
The party starts being followed by a Mr. Salesbot. This andriod, created by enterprising war profiteers reluctant to traverse the warzones themselves, gives untiring, incessant sales pitches for a variety of obsolete products to the group, who it perceives as customers. Act now, supplies are limited, void where prohibited, full money back guarantee!

0011.
A menacing titan of a medival black knight with a heavy face concealing helmet towers over the group as they approach a settlement. He extends his massive gauntlet hands, palms facing the group, a total of six fingers extended. In a deep booming voice he exclaims, "I am this many," then politely asks for assistance in locating his mommy.

0012.
Members of both sexes of the party are hit on by "The Bi-clops." If they get close enough to it they get their pocket picked.

0013.
A clay golem reminiscent of a 1970’s blaxploitation pool hustler is taking all challengers at a game of billiards, double or nothing.

0014.
A group of 1920 style gangster Felinoids make your party an offer they can't refuse, help get one of their goons down from a tree.

0015.
The group catches a semi-trained quasi-professional stage magician's act just as it goes terribly wrong.

0016.
The party follows the distance sound of cries for help coming from a Roman centurion trapped in a well.

The party stumbles across a chum geyser.  Exactly what it sounds like.

0018. 
The party finds a viscous gang of marauders consisting of mutant humans with various limbs replaced with whiffle-cyberware.    

0019. 
The party encounters a village of humans with butts for shoulders.  Diapers are the primary form of currency.

0020. 
Cannibal Accountants.

0021. 
The party encounters another group of adventures.  A massive 7 foot tall yellow canary man, a half yeti/half elephant creature that seems a little slow on the uptake, a smallish green fuzzy creature that wears armor made out of titanium garbage cans that seems perceptually pissed off at something and a little frogman who seems very personable.

0022. 
A troupe of hamster actors recreating the entirety of Monty Python's Flying Circus, except in a combination of klingon and esperanto.

The party is approached by a gentleman wearing a radiation suit and a pristine construction hat.  He asks them to help him find his friend.  As it turns out, this friend is an empathic simian named Jorge who is the size of a house and has been terrorizing a local settlement by innocently disassembling their ramshackle defenses.

0024.
In an desert mountain pass, the party must get past a pyrokinetic yeti, whose only toll is that he be brought snow.



They're all fantastic but 0005, 0009, 0014, and 0021 are my favorites.

I didn't intend to help turn this thread into the "pop culture reference" Gamma World encounter thread, but there you go.
