[QUOTE="vulcan_idic, post: 1731321, member: 19615"] Not sure if this is really on topic for the thread, but listening to all of these stories reminded me of the first time I DMed... we were all gamers, but we'd never played together before and it had been a while since any of us played. We had no books, only a few scrounged d6's, and the desire to play, so I just started pulling things out of my butt... They were walking through some woods when they came across a well, but the well had a circular staircase with no railings along the interior wall of the well. They go down the staircase, and just above the level of the water there is a door. They go into a little maze of tunnels I make up as I go along. There are several rooms, including a room with monsters (Rancors borrowed from Star Wars, but I just described them and didn't name them) and a treasure room. The "doors" to the rooms were invisible force fields that were "intelligent" - i.e. you could go into the treasure room, but in order to take something out, you had to move backwards, or was it that the rogue only had to move backwards... I don't remember but it was a fun puzzle... and the other "doors were something similar. In the end they were running out chased by the Rancors with bags full of gold... only to have the bags rip and start leaking on the way up the stairs, so each wound up with only about 50 gold each for all that, the rest winding up at the bottom of the well... It was pretty fun, but a little wild going by the seat of ones pants with all of the rules and so forth run only by collective memory and only a d6 to modify all the rolls to... Anyway interesting...
