[QUOTE="twofalls, post: 1752633, member: 23718"] Gentlemen, Tomb of Horrors was designed as a spoof, not as a serious module. It was run at an early rpg con becuse it was fun, it wasn't ever inteded for serious campagining. Nor was it entirely written by Gary Gygax, it was edited and adapted by him and mostly written by a guy named Alan Lucien who used it to end a high level campiagn that he was sick of. It was then adapted by Gygax as a tournament module and run at Origins 1. It was enjoyed so much that it made its way to print as one of TSR's tournamet series of modules (which by the way the A series were also a part of). Fans and overzealous (and in many cases immature) GM's used it as a PC killer over the intervening years. Relax, it was all for fun! :) [/QUOTE]
