I had the wierdest D&D experience on Saturday

[6inTruder]

Playing a 4ed adventure (the one where you're gate hopping after teiflings) and at one point there's some spiders and someone said spiders have coccooned. I blurt out my gut instinct on the subject: "Gut it and search for treasure!"

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.... Then I realised that none of them probably knew about the dog with a ring of invisability in its stomach story, and then I just kinda felt old.

Of course after the game finished (we completly rocked it by not fighting the undead thingy at the end) I walked over to a friend's table and in his game the boss fight at the ends was cray-ze tough, so he added a bit where if someone sacraficed orc hearts into some chest thingy they could get an earth titan to help them with said boss fight. And because they were good aligned none of them made the sacrafices.

Good times.

So....what was the "weirdest D&D experience" you reference in the subject?

So was there anything in the cocoon or not?

Huh? That you were the only one thinking gutting might help? Also in those old modules only beasts that could swallow you whole should have had something in thier stomachs ... (if that was the weird thing ...)

Haha! It was just the guide the people we were chasing had left to die.

And it was wierd to me to see the shift in how new players thought about playing and what assumptions were brought to the table. Really it was rather cool. I just forget that most people wouldn't know about gutting bodies for treasure.

Culture clash, or whatever. I still had fun.
