[QUOTE="Wolv0rine, post: 2068184, member: 9045"] Ahh, that was a good ep, yeah. :) As far as stealing things from TV, after being begging and connived into DMing for a good 2 weeks by a few friends who were, like me, DM-less... I hit upon an idea I thought would cure them of wanting Me to be the fill-in DM. I designed an entire adventure around the camera path taken during the opening theme song to Tales from the Crypt (where it starts off at the gate, and winds throug the house, through the secret passage, into the sub-basement, and there he is). We all watched the show regularly, so I figured everyone would recognize it. When we actually got around to playing it, Tales from the Crypt actually [b]came on the friggin' TV[/b]. And not one of them suspected what I'd done the entire night. Of course, in true "I suck as a DM" fashion, I forgot to place one of the secret doors on my map, and they spent about 2 hours wandering around wondering where to go next before I spotted my blunder. But that's what they got for talking me into DMing when I didn't want to. :P [/QUOTE]
