I will be honest with you. I can't remember the first dragon I killed.
I am pretty sure it was a blue one, but outside of that I can't recall.
Now I do remember what was one of the most powerful monsters I killed.
It was Jr. High and I was in a game with my friend Jon Cook, from posting #1.
His older sister was running us through a dungeon crawl one summer night and I remember we ran into a Lich.
This was big deal because I had been mostly playing this odd collection of AD&D and D&D (B/X) and had not run into a Lich yet. Plus Mary was your typical Chaotic Evil DM. So this Lich kept jumping in and out of the Ethereal plane and she ruled I couldn't turn it since it wasn't on my sheet.
We, that is Johan and Sneaker the thief, managed to kill it with best weapon we had. We burned down the building it was in.
Still love throwing Liches at players. It brings out the CE DM in me as well.
The more I think about it the more I realise I have no recollection of facing (or running) any really high-powered monsters.
ReplyDeleteI guess because the majority of our D&D games have always been pretty low level.
Really must do something to correct that ;-)
