[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 2606008, member: 627"] Many years ago, my buddy and I were in a desperate search for a new group after our's had fallen apart. We tried a local gaming group that had an actual permanent club (physical location) and membership dues. It seemed on its surface a very nice set up. we asked if we could sit in on a session (or just observe) before we decided to become dues paying members. They were totally ok with this approach. So we showed up that Saturday night with no less than 17 people sitting around a huge U shaped table and 1 (count it), 1 DM. We skeptically took our seats. As we were joing a campaign already in progress, we each brought in a 4th lvl PC, 1st edition, one level below the majority of the party. Our PCs were wisked into the dungeon the party had already been exploring. I guess when you are a group of 17 PCs (and henchman), two 4th level random PCs showing up just doesn't stretch reality much. So after playing for about an hour and half (more like sitting and listening people travel a grand total of 200' in an hour and half) we find out selves in a huge chamerb with a two story statue of a dragon or Behir or something along those lines.....don't recall. Well the inevitable train runs right smack into the frickin' obvious train and the statue animates with the whole legion in the room. The group, in true hero fashion, drops everything and runs for the nearest egress. The DM ( I forgot he was there) gives everyone a free shot at grabbing something from the piles of treasure strewn about (forgot those were there too). My PC grabs and runs in quiet orderly fashion. When we get out of the room (because everyone knows giant dragon statue thingys dont chase PCs out fo the room), the GM beigns telling everyone what they grabbed. When I was informed that my 4th lvl half-evlen ftr/thief just picked up a +4 defender bastard sword my buddy and I decided to call it a night. Monty Haul is one thing. Monty Haul Mob style is just rediculous. [/QUOTE]
