I loved every second of it. It was the tingly, be my turn already, awesome feeling you get from any pc rpg, but with more. So much you can do. The options are endless. I had a man, with my long sword through his chest, and I had to roll, too se if I could detatch his body and throw it out of the window. IT WAS AMAZING! I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK NEXT WEEK IIM SO EXCITED AAHHHH!!!
Here's what happened:
Apparenntly, the session before that, (we are in the neverwinter campaign) the neverlord guy, had given our group these sacred stone things ( i forget what they were) and we were traveling to a new town. We are at this new town (now I'm in the game) and we walk into the tavern, and get some drinks. We loiter a bit, and then hear about this guy in the bar, who is a hydromancer. So one of our teammates, goes over, and says "turn my damn beer, into dwarvens piss to prove your a hydromancer", and the hydromancer didnt respond. That got the attention of the other people in the bar. Then these 2 guards walk into the bar, and see us. Aparently the king wants us for who knows what. But the drunkies in the bar don't know that, they think we are trouble bringers. So they attack us. The fight was immense, and long. I remember once, I had a guy stuck on my sword, and it took 3 of my turns to finally get him off, and kill him. Then one of our teammates (a mage) torched the place, and it caught on fire. The hydromancer put it out, then fleed. After we finally killed everybody, the guards came back in, and escorted us out. That's where we stopped. It was so fun it's was just unexplainable!

not unexplainable at all. If yer having fun, then everything is going right.
Welcome to D&D, welcome to gaming. Leave your weapons and Orcs at the door, pull up a chair, put up your feet, grab a drink and stay for a while. Or at least, stay till a wizard burns the place down.

haha, in one of our past games one of our players(a goliath barbarian) went into a bar just for casual drinking. Can't remember what happened but something happened that provoked him, and in a few seconds everyone in the bar was a bloody smear and the bar burnt down. God it was funny. No one messes with Eemish(the goliath barb).

I have a tavern that's actually a recurring character in most of my campaigns - The sign hanging out front has a strategically placed chalice placed between a rather shapely pair of legs, and the name of the tavern is a polite euphemism for a prostitute's business parts, which the players invariably refer to as the "WC"... As you can infer from the name, the place makes Mos Eisley look like a convent.  The WC isn't so much a tavern as the spirit of a tavern, sort of a genius loci - whenever the players burn down the tavern, within a day or two or a week the WC shows up again, fully rebuilt, in the same location or across the street... The locals are known to occasionally burn it down just for giggles.  It's also been known to follow the party from city to city as the campaign progresses, and if the party goes in and asks about it, everyone in there and all the locals in the area will swear blind that the WC has always been there, since back before anyone can remember... Actually, I think it's an official game rule that burning down a tavern is a requirement for becoming an adventurer.

I've never been in an adventuring party that burned down a bar.
However... we were investigating some criminal activity in an oriental country, and were invited to talk to someone in a bar that we suspected was the center of operations for the criminal gang we were most interested in.
This naturally didn't make us suspicious; nor did the fact that all the tables were crowded except one, in the middle of the bar far from the door, which was completely vacant. No, not suspicious at all...
We mopped the floor with them, left them unconscious (except for one minion who surrendered) and tied up on the floor. The gang leader went with us, bundled up in a carpet.
And before we left I gathered up all their nunchuks and draped the things over the sign outside.
Which is a different sort of 'burn'.

I've just started playing myself so thought I'd share my experiences too! Having loads of fun already.
Things that tickled me just so:
- Entire party rolling no higher than 3 for perception. We couldn't even tell what was attacking us. Most of us thought it was a duck till it set us on fire.
- Our halfling avenger craning his little neck after rolling for perception to look through a window; DM responds: Well done. You see a closed shutter.
- Our dwarven fighter who got into a suicidal frenzy (player was using a precon, using a new guy next week so thought he'd have some fun) by repeatedly triggering a flame trap. Well, being the good Cleric that I am, I couldn't just let him lie there. So I healed him. Again. Once more. Once more still. Out of heals. Stabilize him using Heal skills. Try to move him. He resists, passes strength check, knocks me out. Rest of the party (once they stopped laughing), clobbers him and we carry him out. XD
- I was using a Mage precon with Ghost Sound; at the end of an encounter I thought I'd play a trick on the rest of the group and use Ghost Sound on a corpse to freak out some of our party. I roll a 1, DM says instead of Ghost Sound, I loudly fart. >.> That Mage is no longer welcome.
So glad I started playing!

I'm with you on this. We started playing a few weeks back (I returning after several years, the others having never played, so we're `Red Box'ing' it.), and we are having a blast.
