[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 2528199, member: 1288"] Much as I hate to do it, I too must stand up and be counted. I love the [i]idea[/i] behind ToH, but I honestly feel that the execution doesn't measure up to that promise. Any DM can kill the PCs, if that's really what he wants to do. For a module like ToH to work, it cannot afford to be arbitrary, and it cannot afford to be [i]too[/i] obscure in its hints. It's only satisfying to wipe out the PCs of overconfident players if you could point back and show them where they honestly had a reasonable chance that they simply overlooked or were otherwise too foolish to take. No offense mant to the Colonel, of course. ToH was a different time, and we can't all have the same preferences for our modules. Still, I'd spent so many years hearing about this one, I must admit I was disappointed when I finally got my hands on it. Though honestly, I don't think I'd nominate ToH for "worst ever"; just saying I'm not fond of it. Interestingly enough, I [i]do[/i] like "Return to the ToH." It's not one of my favorites, and it's got its share of flaws, but I like the overall setup. [/QUOTE]
