[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 6383138, member: 13703"] I think something like this could be pretty cool, but you need to make sure your players have the right expectations. I would not be doing it with PC's that the players have been running for any length of time. I'd probably limit it to a one-shot or, 2-3 sessions at most and I'd use higher-level pregenerated characters. Let the players know up front that they will be playing with these characters for just a few sessions. The closest I have done to something like this was when I ran my group through the 3.XE version of the Tomb of Horrors. I got them to create higher level characters plus a back-up character for a one-shot that I was going to run them through (I didn't tell them it was Tomb of Horrors). That way my players came in with the right expectations and weren't upset when someone died within the first hour! [/QUOTE]
