Planning to do the Tomb of Horrors...

[azog]

I have told my DM that if he even tries to run us through the Tomb, I will walk out of the game. The old one is not an adventure, it is an exersize in futility and frustration.

That's a little dramatic, don't you think? And silly.

Dramatic? Yes. Silly? No. It's accurate.

Dramatic? Yes. Silly? No. It's accurate.

Where's the sense of adventure? Where's the challenge?

People I have spoken to about Tomb of Horrors generally have one of two reactions: Walk away or get excited about it. The latter never played it before. I am going to run it at a public venue with a bunch of folks who are excited to play it, not my regular gaming group.

Ah, that's different! As a one-off for people signing in specifically to play it should work fine.

I bet you the 4e version is no where near as pointlessly lethal as the original.

Wrong forum, this is for D&D, not NetHack.

Just out of curiosity, but have you read the latest preview for the upcoming tomb of horrors?

Because that statement is not far from the truth

Yep, it's why I made the statement
