[QUOTE="Terraism, post: 567726, member: 278"] Well, a half-dozen years ago, [i]just[/i] after I'd started playing (2nd edition), I was dragooned into DMing by two of my friends - they'd both been playing much longer than me, and were actually to two who got me started on the hobby. Anyway, I thought the idea was really cool, so went all out on this epic adventure - filled with all the mistakes a new DM can make... you know, godlike NPC's that save the party time and time again, "you can only go one way" corridors, that kind of thing. Not too bad, though, considering the ending, when they faced off against a "So Old There's No Numbers For It" dragon. (Yeah, it's an, um... unique, age catergory.) They're 2nd level, and killed it by taping one certain sounding stone in the room that made the entire cavern collapse. Of course, I then made the greater mistake of allowing them to estimate how much XP the beast should've been worth... somehow, even though the PH only went up to 20th level, they ended up at 87th after that... [I'd like to say, in my defense, that I've gotten much better since then. [i]Much[/i] better.] [/QUOTE]
