Right. We were very careful and cautious adventurers. I guess I lost about half my PC's in AD&D, with an average level at death of about 4th level.
One thing that helped is that for the first adventure, there was definitely a town to retreat to and heal up in.
I find "Temple of Elemental Evil", the 3.5e computer game, pretty darn realistic to my experiences with it in AD&D. As in, when I played it, the frog fight was hard, so I healed up and went back for the next fight -- both in AD&D back in the 1980s and in the game in 2005 or whatever. When my wife tried it, she got a
TPK. Why? Because she continued on after the frogs, without resting up.
And yet another word from our sponsors
