[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 7981502, member: 55491"] I played some crazy monty haul 1st edition stuff back in the day. Girdle of storm giant strength & Hammer of Thunderbolts, a ring of multiple (not just 3 how passe) wishes, battling hundreds of ogre magi, a flying throne of the gods, killed Vecna, Kas, I think I even killed Satan who was hiding in the bottom of a storm giants cloud castle One time. We went to hell and back (killed tiamat) I got a ring that allowed me 6 actions a round and a staff that fired white fire (Thomas Covenant rip off). But I never got as crazy as some others I heard of. The ring of +200hp and the stone of taking 1/5th Damage? The gauntlets of annihilation (like a sphere but you could wear them). Wack a doo! We also played a more low power game that went for about 15 years including multiple times during high school where we spent a whole week at a holiday house just us kids playing 18+ hours a day. The characters averaged about 2 levels a year and ended in the high teens (we slowed down at University) and we played many campaigns that never made it past 5th But that wasn’t OSR. That was playing it the first time around. now Im running 2 5e games one is 5years in and they are just 8th level, one is about 1 year in and they are 15th. Im very much in the game is what you make of it Camp. [/QUOTE]
