Smashing up RPGs has been defined as “replacing major rules components with components from different games” or “taking two games in your collection and mixing them together.” However you define it, it’s a lot of fun indeed, one of my favorite pastimes as a gamemaster is blending systems and settings to create something unique. Videogames have smash-ups (often called “mods”) and so do tabletop RPGs. Mash-ups are not confined to music, of course. Smash-ups have been around a long time but became a renewed cultural phenomenon with 2004’s Grey Album, a smash-up by Danger Mouse of Jay-Z’s Black Album and the Beatles’ White Album. A “smash-up,” also known as a mash-up, bootleg, blend, cut-up, crossover, or powermix, is a song or composition created when a producer blends a pair (or more) of previously existing songs, generally by combining the vocal track from one song with the instrumental track of another.
