[QUOTE="Richards, post: 1405625, member: 508"] My first D&D gaming experience was in a dungeon my cousin Tom made up. We started out in the middle of the dungeon with no memories of how we got there, and the whole point was trying to find our way out. Unfortunately, the dungeon complex we were in had a bunch (8 or more) of teleport rooms scattered throughout: 10' by 10' rooms with a door on each wall, and when you exited the room through a doorway you were randomly teleported to another identical 10' by 10' room with a door on each wall. (Fortunately, the whole group went to the same identical room each time, so although we didn't realize we had teleported, at least we were still all together as a group.) It sure made mapping confusing! In fact, that's what finally led us (and by "us," I mean my cousin Harry, who had been gaming with Tom for years; the rest of us were all newbies in our first adventure and really didn't have a clue) to figure out the teleport room gimmick, by noticing several corridors in our increasingly geometrically-impossible map were identical. In any case, from that point on, in any of Tom's dungeons, all he had to do was put a 10' by 10' room with a door on each wall in our way, and we'd immediately turn around and find another way to go. None of us wanted to take the chance it might be another of those @#$%&*! teleport rooms! Johnathan [/QUOTE]
