Is The Orc and The Pie a well-designed adventure module?

[Brother MacLaren]

It needs to be streamlined more. Polymorph the Orc into a pie.

You just opened up a can of worms there.

In the new new errata for polymorph, this will give the Orc the name "pie," the caloric value and aroma of a pie, the general appearance of a pie, the HD of the baker who made the pie, and the natural attacks of a clown or student protestor (that is, a pie), while retaining the type "orc." Some other pie elsewhere will then take on the movement forms and special qualities of an orc, without actually being an orc, except on Tuesdays.

I'm going to confess I only relatively recently heard of this module. Can someone fill me in on when this 'module' was created, originally run, and what sort of purpose it originally had?

It seems ot me to be the inverted opposite of the module Tomb of Horrors.

Railway Station? More like the restroom at a bus depot! Who would go after such a pie?

Yeah, you have no idea where that orc has been. I mean, really...

I think all you haters are going to be the first to snap up the Orc & Pie supermodule Baker's Dozen, don't pretend otherwise.

Total Monte Haul.

I once thought about writing a techno-thriller called “Orc & Pi” but then passed my sanity check and didn’t.

C'mon, that'd be awesome! Add in a group of clerics that believes the pie is the secret to unlocking the true name of god and you're set!

Or maybe it's not a room - maybe it's a field or a tent or a gazebo.

Mark Hope said GAZEBO!!

What a rat bast@rd DM - Gazebo and Pie is a guanranteed TPK

Gazebo's are broken

 

[The_Gneech]

I agree that 3.0 gazebos were broken, but they totally got nerfed with 3.5.

My suggestion would be to add the psuedonatural template to the gazebo and advance it by 2 HD. Or maybe just give it a level of fighter.

Are you sure you DMed this? And are recollecting the adventure correctly? I'm converting it to 3e right now, and I just don't agree with several of your assessments.

Yeah, and when are we going to get the treasure breakdown of this?
