I'm trying to figure out if 4E Tomb of Horrors is right for what I want to do. I know there's a thread from last year in another forum, but I didn't want to necro that thread for this question.
I'm looking at Tomb of Horrors 4E for a One Shot, Trap-fest. Specifically, I'm planning on handing out pre-made Assassins and Rogues, all with multi-classness, of 13th - 15th level, and giving them an assignment to rescue a bunch of characters held in what I'm currently imagining is a pyramid. Doesn't *need* to be a pyramid, but it's thematically nice.
They're going to rescue their own captured PCs from a game we put on hold last year. Because this is a One Shot, it's ok if some PCs die to traps. So I thought something like Tomb of Horrors would be perfect.
I'd like the adventure to be one session, but I've learned that if the players are having fun, they certainly don't mind a longer game and one session is only about 3 encounters and I don't think you can really have the experience I'm looking for in three encounters, so more is better. Maybe 6-10, two or three nights.
I know the product ain't out yet, but I also know the developers have been on here talking about it, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Anyone have any guess as to the suitability?
