[QUOTE="vonmolkew, post: 4104298, member: 4059"] Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but I'll post it anyway. SPOILER ALERT!!! Imagine a gigantic room at GenCon, back at UW-Parkside. GenCon 15, I think. The beginning of the first round of the AD&D Open. There must have been 200-300 of us getting the explanation of the module & somehow The ToH came up. The person in charge relates very simply (paraphrasing & creating....it was a [U]Long[/U] time ago :) ): ToH? Didn't end up killing everyone. One of my friends didn't seem fazed by it. Sure, they lost a couple characters. But the worst was at the end. They had previously figured out by luck that you needed to touch the Gold end of the Sceptre to the Crown to make the Throne sink. They pocket the Crown and Scepter and on they go. A couple hours later, they find themselves in the True Tomb. They check out the stuff after taking out the Ghost. They leave the Crystal Skull alone. After they have completed cataloging all the loot, they try to pick up the skull. As they touch it, it begins to float up. So my friend says: Put the Crown on top of it and touch the [I]Silver[/I] End to the Crown........." You could have heard a pin drop in the auditorium. Then the loudest uproar occurred. Nearly everyone in the place was laughing, completely stunned that it was that simple. Still to this day I think it was the most ingenious stroke of Gaming I've ever heard. [/QUOTE]
