Some ideas from my experience back then.

I seem to remember a poll rating the worst modules of all time and the Forest Oracle taking first place...could be wrong, was a few yrs ago.

Yes...

That's why I hunted it down on ebay and bought it!

Much Joy!

There's one poster you should hang in the room (even though from a different adventure...)

Retro D&D = Black Magic, Cultists, Satan lovers, Sacrifices.... etc etc...

If you want to do something good, I'm afraid you 'll have to go all the way.....

You guys are awesome!

I knew you'd come up with great ideas!

Make sure you have the players keep/make their own map. If they're any good at it, I suggest one way walls, shifting doors. Mess with them.

Sanity checks.


For the players.


Yeah, that was one crappy module.

Started looking at the rules tonight...

...man... have to swat up big time!

 

[TarionzCousin]

No battlemats should be allowed; miniatures should only be used for marching order.

Yes, so that every thief in the group can backstab every enemy no matter the terrain.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Oddly enough, we always used battlemats, even back then.
