You wanted to play LOST, and they just were not interested.my last 3.5 game I played in the DM made a ravenloft/LOST/Thunder cats cross over. We were on a ship between continents.  A storm hit, the PCs and about a dozen NPCs survived on an island shipwreck, but no one knew where. half of us with no or little equipment.  Over the course of 6 sessions after the crash we found that there were animal people (lizard people, monkey people, vulture people, and gnolls) that worked for a mummy lord that ran the Island mostly from his pyrmid in a valley... but he had this super paragon champion he would send out some times.   We found that there where also G*word carvans that some how left by almost walking on water... but we found a bunch of them dead, and a super weird mountain that had the ruins of a building carved into it... it had both tech and magic. At this point someone put together the thundercats references (we all got lost game 1 with the way he did some things) but we started to suspect ravenloft.   We just wanted the lost/survival part to be done with and we thought it was finding the 'cats layer'  But the DM wanted to force us to not stay... so he had this power source that ran the base be a tech/magic cross over called a Condensed Mana Battery that was 100% a ZPM from Stargate. We evenn called it a CMB. It was broken and leaking and he suggested we needed to get rid of it before it blew up, or poisoned us... we just wanted a place to not be attacked at night... and a player took it threw it at a group of monkey men and then hit it with a damage spell (they were a 3.5 warlock I want to say it was eldritch blast but I don't remember this part) and as such blew it up... TPK.   We expected a fireball effect maybe bigger but not huge...DM said it was a NUKE. He said that 1 mile radius everything was disintegrated if you wanted to roll it was 80d6 force save for half followed by 40d6 acid save for half and 40d6 fire save for half (I think it was fort fort ref) but even min rolls and saves we all died (no one had 70hp)   The DM was PISSED.  He said we were supposed to do survival until we found a tower with a working CMB...but the tower itself not working and not being safe, then survival BACK to the cats layer use the working one to reactivate it and we had to then use the working one to repair the broken one... THEN we would be safe for a bit until Mumra himself (the dark lord) started showing up.... No one wanted to do more survival games.  We had made characters for a different type of game. We were leaving home to go to colony's and expecting more intrigue and city building... no one knew why we were role playing the trip but since we started at 2nd level we figured it was to get some XP and the group working togather... but then the storm hit.</blockquote>
