Prior to monster manual you has monster cards. One room say had goblins and the next room had orcs or a gelatinous cube and technically it could be a meat grinder. If you ran out of healing potions the maybe you headed back to town but if you were at 1 hp you hoped that luck was with you. Low clerics didn’t have resurrection some times if you died you had to roll on a table (your dwarf fighter could suddenly be an elf or a horse depending on rollsModules were hard. Much harder than 5e wotc as encounters weren’t always balanced. A giant spider or ghouls could strike real fear while zombies were laughable even in bigger numbers. Better have a silver weapon just in case there was say a werewolf.</blockquote>
