Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wycen" data-source="post: 1405080" data-attributes="member: 13732">Rarely has a game started bad, usually they "warm up" to being bad.  I can think of a few like that.Our first 3E game was a group of 1st and 2nd level characters dungeon crawling and coming to a room with a 'thing' rising out of a tub of goop and firing off a 10d6 lightening bolt at us.Unfortunately, our solution was to have somebody else DM.  That started fine, but made things worse, such as the DM complaining about the three highest level PC's being "too powerful" because we rolled out stats instead of using point buy.  So, he counted us as being 1 level higher for challenge ratings.Then, while we could find no permanent magic items at 4th and 5th level, the orc barbarian could go into the local mages guild and BUY a magic greatsword, that was semi-intelligent and a mage bane, wanting to kill arcane magic users, which the party had 3 members of, (bard, sorcerer, wizard).Then there were the weekly, "a meteor falls on the party and kills you all" comments.  Hah hah.   :\ Or the druid getting killed by a bear and being reincarnated as a bear and playing as the bear, making hand gestures and walking around town like everybody was fine, like they knew the bear for years.But the straw that broke the camels back was finally finding all 3 keys to open the "invulnerable vault" in an ancient keep, only to discover once we opened it, that goblins had tunneled into the dungeon below and left grafitti, getting to the actual treasure room, opening it and finding a hole in the floor and another note scrawled on the wall saying, "Kilrock the dwarf was here". The 3 of us who were livid at this point kept our cool and ventured to the one room we skipped and ventured in, then decided to leave it alone, which was a good thing since the DM made a point of telling us, "if they mess with the sarcophagus, 22 wraiths stream out of the walls and kill the party".That was the last time I showed up for that game.</blockquote>
