I've seen it referenced a time or two but can't seem to find it anywhere? It doesn't appear my skills merit a "No Reload Challenge" anytime soon.

There used to be one on the old forum. Not sure if there ever was one on this forum. You could start a new Challenge, of course. I don't like no-reloads, so i might actually join you in a minimal reload.

By all means start one folks! If nothing else it'd be another fun read.
I've just started my own no reload, solo attempt but would definately want to continue with the same character if (or rather when) he eventually meets his maker. A minimum reloads thread would be a fine place to continue in that case.
Of course if you do start one, be sure to whack it in the Baldur's Gate 1 and Tales of the Sword Coast Official Campaigns (Spoilers Warning)
Good luck if you do decide to go for it!

This is the only one I remember seeing on this forum - rules akin to no-reload, except that reloads allowedCharlestonian Knight Templar wrote...

If you prefer to make up your own rules feel free of course.
Best of luck

We also used to have a Campfire Thread in the old forum. It was a good for everyone to share their characters adventures- whether they were No Reloading or not. It ended up being a good place for would-be No Reloaders to finish up their tales as well.

We could create something like that again as well.
Best,

Well, my thinking when reading the no-reload challenge is that it's fine if you just want to try to get thru w/o getting killed.
But since for every other NPC in the game, if they haven't been chunked, they can be raised why could you not "fantasize a bit" and apply that to the PC.
The bottom line here, like the No-Reload is that it is "self-policing."
Common sense dictates. If you end up in one of those situations (and we've all been there) where suddenly for no reason half your party is dead, one or two are "held", and your PC dies while numerous monsters are pounding the two "held" NPCs then there's not much chance those two would rally to save the entire party. 
My thoughts were that the challenge would have as it's basis that if you reload the assumption is that the surviving members of your party thought you worth raising (just as I assume you as the PC may have done for them previously a time or two).
So, if you are in a party where most of the party seems to be a good relationship amongst the group in the unfortunate event of your demise it would seem logical that they'd pay the going rate to have you raised as you would them. If killed a "good or Lawful" PC who'd been working alongside Imoen, Minsc/Boo, Dynahier, Khalid, Kivan, Ajantis, even Branwen etc. would stand a good chance of "coming back" next time they got to a priest - I would think.
I would think from a fantasy standpoint you'd be on trickier ground if you play "evil or even neutral" PC
or have a group composed of such as they would be likely, at least, plausibly to decide to "take the spoils for themselves." 
Let your conscience be your guide.
So I throw my thoughts out to the group. I thought maybe:
1) The challenge would be such that if your PC is killed you relaod and go from there. You can either complete your ill fated battle or go back and regroup but you must:
a) Donate the minimum amount to raise your PC to the temple of your choice immediately upon finishing your battle and/or returning to a town (this equates to the fee your party paid to have you raised again). Name the temple that raised your PC.
If the party would not have sufficient gold (prior to the battle) to do so then they would have to sell items they had "before" the battle that killed you to raise the required income.
c) If that would not be possible then your game is over.
d) Also, if you choose to "refight" the battle immediately and lose again, then you must donate double the amount to raise you - or triple depending on how many times you reload and get whooped before you're successful
2) I thought for the challenge maybe the fun who be to see who can get thru everything in BG to include Ulgoth's Beard and associated quests (e.g. Durlag's Tower) with the fewest reloads. Those interested could keep up with "who done the best."
a) All areas of the BG Map and BG itself need to be cleared
Sidequests would be those associated with selected NPCs
3) Otherwise I think it would be like the No-Reload Challenge.
a) Start by identifying the game you're playing (i.e. Vanilla BG, Easy Tutu etc) and whatever mods you've added
ID your PC name, stats, class, proficiencies etc.
c) Continue by naming NPCs as they are added/dropped from your group
d) Tell everyone about your exploits and HAVE FUN!
Those are my thoughts. Others?

Moved the thread over to the BG I spoilers side. Isn't it more appropriate there?
