[QUOTE="Sir Whiskers, post: 1341909, member: 6941"] Or run in a game with a newbie GM. A few months ago we had a player who wanted to take a shot at it. We created normal 4th-level characters. The first encounter was in a tavern, where Tiamat found us and forced us to sign contracts (in blood) to fight for her. Her opponents? A bunch of supervillains from another dimension stealing dragon eggs for power. We fought intelligent skeletons, Magneto, Dr. Octopus, Transformers, a kraken (kind of). We found +5 weapons after our first fight, as well as +5 armor, including Padded +5, +10 to Charisma (my sorcerer was happy :D ). Meanwhile, we coerced the tavern owner into signing the tavern over to us, or else, and later refused to return his family's powerful heirloom. The game was a complete railroad, and application of the 3E rules was inconsistent at best. The GM stopped after a few sessions due to lack of time, but boy did it bring back the memories...
