Shadowdark miniatures

I saw a few others sharing and thought it would be interesting what others thought of mine.

I always find it odd that people use 3d6 over 4d6 and drop the lowest. In the first edition, advanced dungeons and dragons, DM Guide it is clearly points out how 3d6 down the row lead to charecters dying to fast and that it discourage new players. It is specifically recommended not to do 3d6. Can someone tell me where the idea that 3d6 down the row became the recommend method of rolling stats?

I am starting to use shadowdark for solo play and the occasional one shot at a local game night.

I am wondering if anyone has alternative Mcgaffin over standard treasure? For example, "collect the Seven Shards of Dangdar to trap the demon lord Stagmar the Destroyer". If you do have such a Mcgaffin how do you use them related to experience points? Do you still use normal treasure. Where is a healthy balance?

I want something more then treasure of the week to drive the game. I understand that treasure is often the main motivation for OSR but has gotten boring.
