Here Be Low Prices

In case you haven't seen it already (it has been blogged to death, but I offer it regardless) here's the video of a 21yr old from Arizona - "Baseballplaya" - who happens to enjoy badgering his witness in Wal-Marts and Dillards, in the natural habitat of trouser-perusing octogenarians. This video was originally posted on X-tube before it was removed (along with his profile, which described an affection for edging, bears, and daddies.)
Wal-Mart has historically been a site for births, deaths, and D&D lolz, so it doesn't surprise me that he would chose to stage a solitary, genitally exposed larping campaign there. The question then remains, what would his character gain from such a quest? I found the answer lurking like a mangy inbred child in the mind of my local DM, Kyle "Extreme Kyle!" Dart-Gintzler:

Dart: In that case I would actually say he gets a magic item from it. Maricopa County and Walmart's Enchanted Parchment of Restrained Order. While it is cursed in that he can't get into a Walmart without summoning 6d6 kobolds to attack, he gets a +5 to all intimidate checks against women, and a +5 to bluff checks to kids.
Dart: Also a sword that does an extra 5 damage to gnolls
Dart: It's also better used as an adventure hook where he has a reason to go through the dungeon "Maricopa County Jail." But that adventure is only for level 10 or above players
