Do up a bit of history of character background."Morpheus...could this be the one?"Step 7Meet orcs, find out you aint the one and re-roll, cry a bit. Hope surviving PC's will give you your old char's stuff 'cause equipment sheets take ages to re-do.There was a few other things we used to do, like living up to Constitiion score in rounds after goind under 0hps, sometimes when you wanted PC's to last we'd start them off on 3rd level.Apart from that it was still fun, I mean if people got seriously cut-up over losing a character in 1E-2E then they probably took the game too seriously and where some kind of twit. I mean, you played with dice, you take the chances fate deals you even though sometimes it wasnt fair.People protected clerics back then too <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=":)" />(Instead of hiding behind them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />)It was fun regardless of any perceived failings.
