I have been in campaigns with chronic PC deaths in every AD&D edition and if too much magic items or wealth could be a problem, it would have been a problem there.Seriously, it is too easy to make wealth a non-issue for a D&D game. It is possible (and even desirable in some games) to make the PCs fabulously wealthy royalty and still create a motivation for adventure in areas where wealth is of absolutely no value.</blockquote>
