If you died because of a trap or an encounter, you simply carried on as if you had survived. No one every ripped up their character sheets and generated another character. <BR/><BR/>Still, when I was 13 (back in '81 and I had a ZX81 as well) it was the only way for me to get taste the wonderful world of roleplaying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320809555801516161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564695407408502795.post-1429612473437183692008-09-23T15:15:00.000-04:002008-09-23T15:15:00.000-04:00On the solitaire module, yeah it was fun just star...On the solitaire module, yeah it was fun just starting to dork around with it.
