But before you bash it too hard, remember these little tid-bits:I read an interview with Gary Gygax.... I think in an old Inquest.... He stated that he constructed the Tomb for the soul purpose of killing players, and no other. In fact, I think that my printing suggests using the pregenerated characters if your party is attached to their normal ones. You shouldn't bash an adventure for being exactly what it is intended to be. IIRC, Gygax stated that he would carry this module around with him in his briefcase, daring people to brave the dungeon. Any who did so agreed that should their characters die they would surrender their sheets to Gary along with their DM's phone number so that he could call with the sad news of so-and-so's demise. It may be a killer, but if you look at Gary's other work, I think that you have to agree that the Tomb of Horror's design HAD to be intentional. Just a bit of mind from an old schooler that thoroughly loves the old modules... especially the "S" series.
