[QUOTE="Cassandra, post: 2551342, member: 18157"] I'm supposed to be working, but this thread is hilarious. I started playing AD&D in college, with an experienced DM, so our problems weren't quite on the same scale. However, the DM was a little lax in explaining the details of the character creation process, and since there was only one book for six or so of us to share, we missed some of the finer points. The party started off (with my character as the leader, since she had the highest Charisma!) and traveled through the dense forest. Eventually we came to a deep river. DM asks how we get across. "In my boat!" answers one bright fellow, who had used his extra money to buy himself one at the start. "A boat! How'd you get a boat out into the deep forest?" "In my wagon, of course!" A similar glossing-over-the-details issue got me when I was DMing for my younger brothers, who at the time were about 12. Their vocabularies were good, but didn't include everything in the game. One kept producing all this equipment, and finally I got fed up and asked him where he was carrying it all. "On my pack animal, of course." "I didn't think you had enough money to buy a horse." "No, I didn't, so I bought a capon." The hilarity that ensued at the thought of the poor little rooster carrying this enormous pile of stuff interrupted the game for several minutes, and was referred to often in later years, much to his embarrassment.
