The DM only had the three core AD&D books to play with so we never did any classic module adventuring until later. It was all homebrew, which spelled an early death for Galen at 4th level when the party made the mistake of camping out in a white dragon lair. He was the last one to get wiped out and it was pretty depressing. I think I still have the character sheet somewhere...

I think I am one of the few to have the sad distinction of dying the first you played AD&D and in the first five minutes no less. Alas poor Mirk, he and two other thieves were being expelled from the Guild (thus on our way to adventure.) However none of us knew how to role-play so we did nothing and loosing patience our Guildmaster attacked us. The two others were wounded but lived, I died. I was crushed and the DM eventually felt sorry and this being summer camp he gave me a new character Vanguard, a dwarven fighter. So while Vanguard was the first hero I ever played, I never rolled him up. Mirk was all mine, but I lost the sheet a long time ago.~Thomas
