I have heard a quote from some where about some one lost in a dungeon turning their bag of holding inside out and walking through the walls to get out ( i would also like to know the exact wording, where the quote came from, and who it was/ is by). i am more or less wondering about the physics behind turning a bag of holding inside out.

  1. "A Bag of Holding opens into a non-dimensional space, and it is larger than its outside dimensions. Regardless of what is put in the item, the bag of holding always weighs a fixed amount. This weight, the bag's weight limit in contents, and it's volume content are dependent upon its quality....."

    "....If overloaded or sharp objects are placed within so as to pierce it, the bag shall rupture and be ruined, and the contents lost forever in the vortices of nilspace."

    Quote from page 138 of the Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters Guide by Gary Gygax 1979 TSR publishing revised edition Dec.1979

    This discription has varied little from  version to version.

    Since the Bag is a space (it still has capacity limits), even if non-dimentional your still in a bag , you could never use it to go through a wall!

    And if a person did enter it, inside out or not (the bag is non-dimentional and still excists, but the opening would be the whole bag when inside out, because the inside of the bag is the entrance to the space , not THE space), they would be stuck there (and sufficate according to the Author of the Book), because it takes someone not in the nilspace to reach in and pull out the "item wanted". It should also be obvious that if the person inside "cut" or "poked" his way out, he would be "lost forever in the vortices of nilspace"
