Anybody EVER consider using the Cow Level?

[ranix65]

I was gonna include it as a level of the Abyss, which a demon lord
(Sh)udder(ing)ly mentions as "the worst damn place in this endless line of planes!" and maybe one day run the players through it, now THERE'S a fight! Although I might change the look of the demons, since I'm not sure if the players are gonna take it seriously, although I'm not sure if I WANT them to take it seriously. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Um........please elaborate.

I have NO CLUE what you're talking about.

The web supplement for Diablo to Hell and Back I take it? I haven't looked at it in a while and certainly not run it.

It is udderly over the top.

If they are presented as demonic minotaurs, it can be done more seriously I would think.

Pete, I think he is referring to a "secret Level" in the Diablo II video game where the monsters are bipedal, poleaxe-wielding cows.

Hell Bovines with big Halberds.

It's the Cow LEvel from Diablo 2, 1000 Hell Bovines + 2 w/ Character levels vs. the PCs, it's a web enhancement on the D&D WEbsite.

I'd just do it for something funny.

It's gonna be very funny terror, because they're gonna have either a Demon Lord or a Demon Knight(the PrC from the PrC boards on Wizards.com) talking in horror about how once he stumbled into this place, which is actually a level of the Abyss IMC.

And yes, they are Hellish Minotaurs.

I would like to run it, but I doubt my players want into the abyss. If they do though, that is just the part of it they will be in.

I used the 'cow level', but with a major alteration. I made them all Dire Rats, part of a huge temple complex to the god Raxivort (Greyhawk god of rats and xvarts). Such fun! Filth fever anyone?

Here's the cow level link for those who missed it:
