In the 1e days ToH was a pretty good model for how high-level play ought to be. I was always of the view that someone who couldn't survive ToH had no business playing a high-level character in any case.

It was only a PC-killer for people who didn't use the correct techniques. But that was a simpler age. :)

I don't understand the "so long as it's a one off" comments. Doesn't that module take you from 6th to 16th or something crazy like that? That hardly sounds like a one-off to me. That sounds longer than most campaigns I play in.
 



I'd trust the DM to make sure it was fun (and still keep it extremely dangerous).

But otherwise, I'd play it no problem as part of a long-running campaign.

I'd be the first in line. A character, to me, is a set of numbers on paper, no matter how long I've played him. If he dies, he dies. I still have the memories!

Amen to that. I'd love to play it. Deadly dungeon crawls are my favourite.
