[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1495189, member: 3586"] It was great fun. I was running it in 3E; converting some of it on the fly. I'm glad I ran it 20 years on, actually - it requires an experienced DM, and I was able to manipulate the storyline better in that way. Highlights of the series: (inviso-text ON!) [spoiler] * I used the series as part of my ongoing Greyhawk/Fhoi Myore campaign. Just after encountering the Priests of Chaos (in Keep of the Borderlands), they found themselves outnumbered. They ran down a tunnel and found themselves at a [url=http://www.canonfire.com/htmlnew/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=75]Rainbow Portal[/url]; one of the PCs smashed the gems embedded in the portal and they ended up in the Desert of Desolation [i]Pharoah:[/i] * The PCs completing the pyramid in record time - they found every secret way to get up faster! * The leader of the PCs put on a [i]ring of contrariness[/i] - he played it wonderfully, through the entire series and beyond! * The PCs returning to the pyramid to get treasure, and being creamed by the monsters. (They ran away then). * They met a group of natives talking about a "buried city in the sand", in that way I was able to get them to Pazar to release the Efreeti. * In the [i]Oasis[/i], they got embroiled in the intrigues. * One of the PCs got turned into a monkey.
