He survived until level nine at which point we left for college and stopped playing. I do not think that my Dungeon Master was soft with us - he let the dice fall where they may. I do think, though, that our idea of what was fun and interesting may not be typical of the average gaming group. Our very first "adventure" involved a knightly tournament in which my character served as a squire to another knight. He was forced to compete when his master disappeared. He won a small amount of gold (which equaled experience in First Edition <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=":)" />) and went on a quest to find his master. In four years of playing I entered a grand total of one dungeon; fought one dragon, zero goblins, orcs, et cetera; acquired one magic item; and became a baron. Is this typical? Probably not. But it is how we played and, thus, how my character survived.</blockquote>
