I think I've told the story on this list but I actually
managed to get thru DT solitare with a party of 4 * 32
attribute figures.  They each went up and attribute and
I improved them and promptly ran them thru again.

(They died MISERABLY.)

;)

Warm regards, Rick

 It's been a while, but when I played DT solitaire, even though I maybe
 "favored" my heroes, they still got wiped. I think I would have had to
 really cheat to make handling the monsters fairly an issue. Maybe the
 "death" part in DT is compensation for solitaire bias :)

I think of myself as unbiased, but ... I had a party of 4 (dwarves) that went through DT (solitaire) and all survived. They got a little lucky with the bears. I upped all 4 to 36 points, adding skills as needed, and they survived DT2 (solitaire). They got a little lucky with Arlo Guthrie (can't remember that fighter's actual name) and with the octopus. If there's interest, I'll post party attributes.
The party took advantage of the +1 hit for being dwarves, and they were definitely ITL (not just AM/AW) beginning characters, and they were a "team" rather than 4 random characters, so I did bias results in my favor in that way.
