I used a technique almost the same as this once to create an old west wanted poster, I used a bitmap transparency instead of the fractal plasma but other than that everything else I did pretty much the same. I did the poster as a prank gift for my husband I had him "wanted" for not doing household chores or some such silly thing
I used the same techniques with a few added steps to make a photo of him look as if it was part of the printed poster. I can't find my original file for that, but here is an example of some text grunged using a bit map transparency and Bob's basic technique.
Here is an extruded version I tried to simplify the grungy text before extruding by removing all but the odd shape that I used to distress the edges further and doing a little subtracting. I had it down to only 7 shapes but those 7 shapes had thousands and thousands of nodes and that still slowed Xara to a crawl!
But the effect is kind of cool!

Great tutorial, thanks Bob!
I'm playing more and more with profile curves.
Also with bitmap fills, using profiles for dark/light contone.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
