[QUOTE="Keldryn, post: 3901967, member: 11999"] I remember way back when I started playing at the age of 12 or 13, my Magic-User searched a room and the DM told me I found (rolls a d4) "3 million gems, each worth..." (rolls a d4 again) "four million gold pieces." Under a pile of garbage on the floor. This was back when 1 gp was worth 1 XP, and we never bothered with rules like "you can only advance one level per game session, leaving you at 1 XP below the requirement for the next level." At the time, we were just playing BECM D&D, but when I converted that character over to AD&D 1e a few months later (no stupid limit of 36th level!), I figured out that she was actually something like a 267,000th level Magic-User. That same DM also had me once encounter 75 dragons playing poker in one (large) room of a dungeon. They all left to go to the bathroom at the same time, so I looted the place and left. My head hurts just thinking about the stupid things that happened in those very early games among 12 year-olds. [/QUOTE]
