[QUOTE="Khayman, post: 1734767, member: 17051"] Yep, played the lot of 'em, and we used new PCs. In fact, most of us had not even read the DL books before beginning the campaign. There was some youthful confusion as we ended up bringing in characters from other settings --- those miserable drow and so forth. Eventually we retrofitted ourselves into the backstory of the campaign world. We had a core group of 4 PCs which I believe was a bit smaller than the recommended number. Despite this, at lower levels we had a punishing mortality rate, and only 2 of the original PCs made it all the way through. The two survivors were higher in level than the others. By then end of the campaign we were a bit heavy on the magic items, partly because the characters were few and/or dying off, and partly because the modules as written are a tad generous. In true 1st Ed fashion, my cleric ended up paying our pyromaniac wizard/cleric to polymorph her into a silver dragon. Made a sort of sense story wise, but it made for some disgustingly easy combats. We actually had Soth on the run... ah, to be a powergamer again. I enjoyed DL, but it strikes me that its re-playability is limited. Maybe we could pick up the story again, maybe not. [/QUOTE]
