Well, an accurate ripoff wouldn't gt through the legal department, and would be too strong for D&D's wimpy characters anyway - in terms of 3e, it would probably be a +10-15 ACL template at a minimum, more likely an Epic template. I did play a game in the Rifts setting ocne, but using so many house rules that it couldn't relaly be counted as using the Palladium system any more... and we stil gave p on it as a hoppeless kludge.
Back to the topic, if you go to this Addventure post, then hit "chain view" and tell it to go back 46 episodes, you get an interesting alternative take on the Realms Saga concept of dropping Ranma on Toril by way of being a new godling - in this case, with a sizaeable portion of Lolth's portfolio stolen from Cyric's grasp just as he was killing her to steal it himself. There's a couple of other branches to it, following the last remnant of Lolth as she plays with time to get revenge and takes the action back to Nerima, but if you've read any "new scheming fiancee put everyone over a barrel" fic you've read that plot already, without even the moderate variations in the fork I point out above. There's also a fork from the beginning that uses Naruto instead, but that one's gone even longer without update and adresses the issue of Kyuubi only as an afterthought and poorly.
