I answered all your accusations that we ignored the rules including saying where we found the Ring. So you saying we did with those examples is wrong. Im not saying you are a bad person.monty haul was Indeed rubbished, but it’s a spectrum. The loot in published TSR and other modules was extensive. I think G1 was one of the earliest published modules And it is loaded, so is the rest if the giant series. That amount of treasure would probably be considered monty hall by today’s standards.the point I was trying to make is that the suggestion that AD&D was necessarily low magic is not how I remembered it. Not just from homebrew stuff but based on the published modules at the time. Sure no cantrips but not what I would call low magic in a world sense. Really cantrips just meant instead of your low level magic user throwing 3 darts a round he now fires a firebolt. A character who went through a bunch of official AD&D and D&D TSR modules stated as being level appropriate from level 1-10 could easily end up outfitted like a Christmas tree. That was RAW. That wasnt me ignoring lots of rules.now whether or not that is how the OSR games play I don’t know - but I do know how many of the actual OS games played, back before there was a R.</blockquote>
