Anyone read, playing or running it? I'm updating the page for this one as it's not a bad dungeon.

"Not a bad dungeon" is not exactly a selling point. Tomb of Horrors should be the worst dungeon.

Heh. I assume he means the quality of the writing/design, not the level of evil. But you probably knew that. :p

A Tomb Of Horrors that isn't evil in design has no reason to be given that title. The whole point of To H is to kill the P Cs in the most humiliating way possible.

So if they indeed made it less evil, I suggest that 4e To H will now be renamed 'Tomb of mild anxiety'.

Haven: I did, in fact, know that. My point stands. evil grin

I still prefer my Palace of Sundered Hope.

^^^ I'm pretty sure 3.5 had a Tomb like that, actually (I never read the module but I got that impression from the Dn D page).

4e's Tomb isn't as IWBTG-like as the 2e version but the book suggests that you run this at much lower levels than suggested for the challenge.
