So instead, WHM created [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Old_Man_Henderson Old Man Henderson]]: a [[SuccessThroughInsanity Crazy Awesome]] {{Munchkin}} [[TheLoonie Loonie]] whose sole purpose in life was to [[OffTheRails completely derail the campaign]], aided with the [[ExpansionPackPast Backstory]] [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom of Doom]], the sole purpose of which was to be so long and confusing that the DM wouldn't read it and thus wouldn't know that WHM was adding in skills and feats on the fly. The accounts of this are retold by Waffle House Millionaire and A Self Called Nowhere.

* AbstractScale: Because of this story, we now have [[https://1d4chan.org/wiki/The_Henderson_Scale_of_Plot_Derailment the Henderson Scale of Plot derailment]], which measures [[OffTheRails just how badly a single action has derailed the plot of a tabletop RPG]]. One full Henderson means that the plot is gone forever and a new one needs to be written up.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: It's never pointed out, but WHM created Henderson in the first place to get back at the GM for killing off WHM's own characters on a whim so often. Once he's done so however, ''WHM'' preventably kills off ''Nowhere's'' character ''nearly every session.'' On being called out on this, however, WHM accepts the point and backs off from doing so (at least, out of intent or negligence).
