[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 8064705"] Oh, and one of my favorite stories about rogues scouting out ahead. I was DMing short scenarios for my nephew (12 at the time) and my son (5 at the time). My son was playing a rogue, and his cousin told him to scout ahead down the pitch-black tunnel. Naturally his cousin listened eagerly, even though he wasn't "there". As he got to the part where the sides of the tunnel fell away, and he could tell by the echoes and air currents that he must be a vast cavern, the cousin blurted out excited, "What do you find?" As I was gathering my thoughts to start describing it, my son jumped in and started describing a cave with spears and shields hanging on the walls. He had no idea this was typically the DMs job; he assumed that his cousin's question meant he was supposed to start describing it. What a bunch of dirty metagamers. No...wait. What I meant to say was that it was awesome. I did intervene, and explain that the room was so dark that he couldn't see the walls, but of course after they fought the dragon and its kobold minions and started exploring with a light source, they found...spears and shields on the walls. Of course. [/QUOTE]
