**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.

Thanks Morbane, but I'm past the snakes (unless the others went someplace else) and ended back up outside the starting area. I obviously missed at least one area and will have to backtrack. I know my characters keep saying "must have missed something," but whatever it is never shows up or we already did it! Thanks again, Karen : )

Morbane! BRILLIANT work! Although I was ready to give up several times, I persevered, and was rewarded with victory! When will the next one be ready? Ha ha! Seriously, pls. keep up the good work!

Morbane, Thank you for your help. Thank you for the module. However, I think I will quit trying to get beyond room 21. Is there a door? The door will not open. I am getting tired of the module. I will leave a thermonuclear device to help clean out the remaining part of the dungeon. (ha ha) The demons and constructs can then have decades of fun trying to restore the tomb like Acererak wanted. Karen, The that required a female to open it was near area eight and ten on the map. It was one of many secret doors in the long hallway leading to long room ten.

@Karen - I just realised where you were - after making that deal you need to examine the snakes ;) _________________________ |Morbane| Tintable Arcane Circles Tomb of Horrors PnP Conversion

Just keep going deeper into the Tomb - once you meet and destroy the Demi Lich you can either dungeon crawl back out or jump to the ship. _________________________ |Morbane| Tintable Arcane Circles Tomb of Horrors PnP Conversion

But how do I get back to "the first fresco hall?" The door I left through can't be opened and I can't find another way in! Thanks! Karen

In the first fresco hall there is one with a creature behind bars - attack that fresco! _________________________ |Morbane| Tintable Arcane Circles Tomb of Horrors PnP Conversion

I feel your pain, Karen! That's the beauty (and curse) of pnp style. The missing piece is that subtle DM redirection to keep you going if you miss something. I started over with a party with a better skill balance, and now am grappling (literally) with the gargoyle statue, trying to figure out how to reattach the friggin' arm. Fun, but frustrating!

P.S. I couldn't edit my message, so I started another. Somebody mentioned a door only a woman can open and I don't remember that so I must have missed some area. Where is that door???? Thanks again, Karen
