I ran an awesome session last week

My group has just started up a new campaign(wait ... It's been almost two months already! ... wow ...) recently, and so I'm getting a chance to present to them a new style of adventure path. The one we just finished went from 1st to ~10th level and was pretty standard dnd fare; it was the first game of tabletop DnD ever for most of them, so I thought I'd make it pretty straightforward.

Anyway, fast forward to now. The party consists of 3 PCs, of about level 3-4. They have found some constructed stone tunnels underneath town(of course) and are finding gnolls and demonic gnolls down there. Nothing odd. Until the drow shows up. And awakens the purple worm(don't take that the wrong way). The last half hour of the game that night consisted of the worm chasing them through tunnels as they tried to reach the ladder out. Getting out would have been easier if not for the panicking gnolls also scrambling to get out at the same time, breaking the ladder.

Here's a pic of the layout; the big dot is where the head of the worm burst through the doorway(again, don't read anything into that), and the stick people are the pcs.

I'm awakening my purple worm right now if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Seriously, that's great! I love games like that; half French bedroom farce with people running about, half sheer terror.
 

It was excellent. Earlier that same night one of the players expressed an interest in trying out some d20 Call of Cthulhu.

Nope, sorry, cant let you pull a newbie into Call of Cthulhu...don't they knowthey get eaten at the end of the game, and the finding Cthulhu is not about wining, its just about finding him and surviving everything up untill that point. NOt for beginers.
