I have this single act line for when thrown:

    act( AT_ACTION, "Suddenly $p explodes and smoke covers the room!", pouch->in_room->first_person, pouch, NULL, TO_ROOM  );

It displays to everyone except the thrower, even though they are all in the same room. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

I beleive that you need two lines: one that use TO_CHAR and one that uses TO_ROOM. Act checks against the third argument and does not send to that person with this:

                if (type == TO_ROOM && to == ch)
                        continue;

You could add in a new type for TO_ROOMALL or some such.

Yup. 'ToRoom' is actually a little bit misleading since it really means everybody in the room [i]except[/i] the actor, like Greven said.
