You got to understand

Sometimes, when you're 12, and you've never played D & D before, you spend three hours creating a character with the rolling of the dice and the picking of the alignment and the buying of the equipment, and then you go out on your first adventure ever, and there's a bear. That's it, that's the adventure. There's a bear. And the bear is hoarding 10,000 gold pieces, the Orbs of Dragonkind, and a +5 broadsword. And that's just how it is.
