[QUOTE="Boss, post: 3888107, member: 1247"] I too started my adventuring career with KotB. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times that we went through that module. And being impressionable 12 year olds, we were uber-munchkins playing it. There was a typo that we exploited every time we played. The Minotaur had three gemstones, each worth 100+GP (can't remember exact amounts). The typo was that there was no space between the amounts, so we took it to mean that the gems were worth 100's of millions of GP. And in those rules (may have been 1ed we were using, can't remember) 1 GP = 1 XP and we were like unto gawds!!!!!!!! Then several years later (and much less munchkinism) came Return to KotB. One of the guys in my group at the time had a photographic memory and remembered where everything was in the original adventure, including where the secret door leading to the goblin lair was. So off they went following him. Of course, since he didn't have the new module (yet) he didn't realize that a Troll had moved into the cave in question. 1st level adventurers against a Troll means all but one character died, and the one that made it out was carrying a friend in a fireman carry down the rope (and failed his climb check, killing them both in the fall). Much merriment. [/QUOTE]
