We sometimes do things like this. We have "shore leave" adventures every
once in a while where we all go out bar hopping (getting thrown out of bars
causes us to move often). Our characters are the crew of a starship so we
play sailors on leave; carousing people out to have a boisterous good time.
Of course, we *always* get into some sort of trouble. Once two of the
characters decided to have a drag race in downtown Toronto... the resulting
multi-vehicle high speed chase was both amusing and destructive...
We even invented a skill, "carousing". useful for picking up members of the
opposite sex, *not* getting clobbered by people larger than oneself, etc.
It is fun to get away from adventuring and just have a good time... (And
yes, we do go out carousing in real life too; we just don't get into as much
trouble doing it).
