[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7146579, member: 6803664"] Too late, you already do. And you have been since the day you began playing. Wether you realized it or not.... You don't need all the explanation, just enough to make the adventure work. If you need more than what's provided? Then make something up that fits the game your actually playing at your table. You know all this stuff here concerning Acererak?: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greyhawk_characters#Acererak[/URL] It was the product of 38+years of various TSR/WoTC people adding stuff. Adding ever more & more to the backstory of Acererak. Every so often we'll find out some more bits about good old Acererak.... And the next dose? Comes to you in Sept. 2017. :) So soon we'll get the details of another of the many lairs the article states he created. That it's on in the FR? So what? We've long known officially that travel between the FR & other D&D settings (including GH) is possible. I wonder if they'll tie it to the real Acererak or tie it to his simulacrum-turned-real-being? And the Tomb of Horrors has been an official possibility in the FR since 1987. Module S1-4, Realms of Horror, p.6, 1st & 3rd paragraphs under [B]Locating the Dungeon[/B] Paragraph 1: "You may locate this adventure in [I]The WORLD OF GREYHAWK[/I] Campaign Setting, in [I]The FORGOTTEN REALMS [/I]Campaign Setting, in your own campaign world, or nowhere at all if you choose. Setting the stage for the location you use depends in large part on what you choose." Paragraph 2: Is a list of ideas where to locate the tomb in GH. Paragraph 3 (1st sentence): "You may, if you choose to, locate this dungeon in The Forgotten Realms, or you may locate this adventure in your own campaign world." The rest of the paragraph just talks about locating it somewhere remote, but not too remote. I think Chult fits that. [B]But[/B] if you really want to rant about sloppy? Answer this question: When the real Acererak was alive, what race was he? [/QUOTE]
