**Requires SoZ only for content - "old style" character generation and party system**
Back in the day - when Gygax designed this module - he set out to prove that a certain party of overconfident adventurers could not "handle any challenge" - so he put the Tomb of Horrors on a tournament list and proceeded to prove them wrong.
The Tomb of Horrors is the original death trap!
PnP Conversion from the 3.5 Edition version of "The Tomb of Horrors"
Can you survive the twisted Tomb of The Demi Lich Acererack?
*FINAL*
If this revision goes well I will start to add some of the 1st Ed features as that version was a bit more detailed than the 3.5 Ed version.

Two more questions if you don't mind. Is there only one snake statue with a secret passage? And, what about that darn arm I've been dragging around? I'd like to finish up at least those 2 things (it would really be nice to find that woman's door too lol). Thanks!

Oh BAH! That "Golden Key" (as named when complete) is just not necessary (false clue so to speak) - thanks for trying the Tomb of Horrors: The ultimate death trap!

@karen - use the half keys item property; activate by right clicking on either key. Dont give up - the best is just that far away now ;)

I'm giving up while I'm ahead! Thank you for a very twisted, deadly experience lol! This has to be the most difficult dungeon crawl I've ever done and I know I could never have finished it (well almost all of it) without your help so thank you - and thank you for your patience! I would like to make one suggestion though. Either the rougue has to be a higher level or the traps and secret doors shouldn't be quite so difficult to find or open. I got tired of hearing "search failure" and "must have missed something." Great game though - the areas are very well done and the traps, well some of them certainly were deadly! Looking forward to your next masterpiece. Karen : )

Hi Morbane! One more question if you don't mind. I forgot to mention that I have 2 half keys - what do I do with them? I'd love to be able to complete the entire tomb before I quit! Thanks again, Karen ; )

Well, after using the key and saying we would stay in the tomb I was finally able to get back to the beginning. But, I still didn't find the "womans" door and in room 5 I keep getting a "search failure" so I can't get to the escape cave (I managed once, but only my pc not the whole group and the door was locked). I was, however, to just walk out from the cave where we entered. I still couldn't do anything with the golem though. I'll wait for help before quiting though.

Thanks Dewie, but we used swords on the cubes - no fireballs and the door was fine. I made it to the final rooms (of course at the time I missed room 33), it's the rooms closer to the beginning I'm trying to get back to. I'm bloked at every turn!

Morbane, Thank you again for the module. I made it through to the end. I used an old save file and re-entered room 21. I was able to locate and open the door. I made it to final area (room or area 33) and finished. I guess I will increase my rating for the module. If possible and appropriate, you might consider making some of the doors easier to spot, open, and move through.

Hey Karen, you know the room with the slime on the walls? Did you per chance hit them with a fireball? If so, you also blew up the wooden secret door which would allow you to continue to the final encounters. If you have a save prior to that room, you'll be able to finish. Sorry Morbane about the spoiler, but the text about the slime just begs for a fireball. Might want to make the door indestructible or change the description from slime to ooze.

It looks like I did the whole tomb backwards lol! I can't get back to the area near rooms 8-10 and obviously missed several hidden doors. I tried to get back to the main room and can't - and I can't get either door to open back into the throne room. So I'm totally stuck. I was about to give up and decided to try an earlier save and found room 33 which I obviously also missed the first time around. Anyway, we killed the lich, but the room was totally black and I couldn't even see the fight. I was able to open the lock and get back to the boat so I technically finished, but I left out areas and was still carrying around the golem's arm. Is there any way to get back to the areas I missed without starting all over? I have 2 saved games. In one we're in the lich's room with the exit to the boat and the other outside the southern secret door to the throne room. I had a lot of fun, although I must admit it was very frustrating and there was no way I could have finished without your help! I'm so glad you were around to answer questions - thank you - and thanks for the map it was very helpful. I'll vote once I know if I'm finished or if there's any chance to continue. There's no way I'm going to start over lol! Thanks again, Karen : )
