[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1410885, member: 13098"] Heh - Isle of the Ape was another equalizer. Mr. Gygax was tired of seeing high level characters that didn't really spend their time earning their levels. His theory was that the people that had sjipped up levels too fast would fall down to the variety of challenges in the Isle of tha Ape. Back on topic, I don't recall having anyone bring a sheet for a character from another game to my table. For my small group of friends, we had a similar affect since we didn't really have a comprehensive campaign. It was more like a series of vaguely related one-shots. However I have seen "Character Stables", and given the number of character sheets in some of them, I doubt all of them were really played from 1st up to whatever level they were. Most of the sheets looked suspiciously unused and the players were ... shall we say rules light in their knowledge. Coupled with the fact that their only reference to where they picked up X magic item amounted to "in this one game" instead of having any amusing anecdotes to tell, I concluded that most of the "Character Stables" I saw were bogus.
