A couple of friends of mine from school thought I would like this game they had played a couple of times. A little later I was rolling up my first character.I descided to play a mage, rolled 18, 17 (and some scores between 12 and 15 I think) using 4d6 drop lowest.A while later we get to play, it was a rather large group (IIRC 12 players, most of whom had played before together, their PC where members of some kind of group). Well, we get to the dungeon, I let loose my only spell Magic Missile, I think I hit the monster (which incarnated in another monster a couple of times when we defeated it) with my quarterstaff maybe once...After the final incarnation and some characters, not belonging to the group, below 0 hitpoints they descide they don't want to share the XP with so many people and kill my character and those of my friends...I was rather baffled, it was about 4 or 5 am when we stopped playing, but I still liked the game, although I must have done something wrong...We have played with the same DM a couple of times after that, as a seperate group and we all rejoiced when we heard that the Paarse Schimmen were killed in a TPK, a couple of sessions later <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.The 2nd part was killed also when we faced a horde of undead when we were 3rd level.My 3rd character (DM'd by first two and now only one of the friends I started with) still roams the realms - probably because we play maybe 3 or 4 times a year on average, but has reached Rog9/Wiz8 (as a 2nd AD&D character). Now busy converting him for 3rd Ed, using the old guidelines but toning him down so he won't be 3 levels higher than the rest of the party, with a little bit of luck I get to play my Wiz7/Rog2 character Moreh Nebouchiem soon <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
