I haven't done this since 2007!
I wanted to play a dwarf paladin. The fact that the rules forbade that combination only made it more tantalizing. When I learned that the original write-up for the paladin class in the Greyhawk Supplement made no specific reference to the "humans only" rule, I knew I wanted to play some OD&D real bad. Lacking a game at that time, I made up a slate of new PCs -- including my dwarf paladin (I cheated and rolled 3d8 for stats -- I was going to make sure I qualified for a paladin!). Then I went about solo gaming (which consists of rolling randomly for everything, to eliminate player knowledge from the equation). To keep an element of danger in the game, I decided that I would not fudge any character deaths. And so, at 4th level, my beloved and only ever dwarf paladin, bit it in mortal combat with a fire giant. Pretty unfair, I know; there was only a random chance of the PCs running away...
