My solo gaming has continued through classic AD&D modules, including the Tomb of Horrors. Deterred by traps and unable to find their way very deep into the tomb, the PCs had to leave behind Adolphus Magnusson, trapped in the forsaken prison.
Adolphus was the highest level character I'd played in a long time, raised all the way from 1st level to 9th. I had run his original party through Castle Blackmoor and Tegel Manor, then he joined a different group of PCs I was running through the G and D series modules. They made it all the way to the Vault of the Drow, though they were overwhelmed by sheer numbers in the Vault and had to flee for their lives.
I even tried to get Adolphus in a non-solo game when one of my friends was running Expedition to Castle Greyhawk, but Adolphus was rejected because of some non-standard magic items.
Adolphus was fabulously wealthy and certainly didn't need to keep adventuring for a living. But he adventured to live. Until he died.
