    Orcus [Ghostwalk]

    Orcus Is... Well, as far as OFFICIAL is concerned, I skipped the whole 2nd edition thing and went straight from 1E to 3E. For continuity's sake, the Tome of Horrors Orcus is FAR closer to the original AD&D version of Orcus than the 2E or 3E "official" versions. The WotC / late-era TSR stuff...

    Tome of Horrors watered down?

    I got this book earlier this week, and I've been doing LOTS of side-by-side comparisons with the original 1E books. I'm pretty impressed with how well the conversions were done. The Aurumvorax was actually one that I thought survived translation quite well - the biggest difference being that...

    Under vs. Over estimating Party Power...

    Some of the CR / EL's are definitely out-of-whack, but I'd caution against raising the power level much more... CR 13 or 14 should be a pretty much top-end encounter for your group. Look at it this way... if the party met THEMSELVES in combat, they'd be an EL-14-ish encounter. (4 level 10's)...
