Kill players often. Always a great one to pull out with a group of cocky players. Never did play the revamp. No surprise here : ToEE is in Greyhawk. No surprise there : ToH is the archetype of what we call a PMT ( Porte-Monstre-Tr�sor ) with a twist.... It's best described as PPPMPTP ( Pi�ge-Porte-Pi�ge-Monstre-Pi�ge-Tr�sor-Pi�ge ) Translated that's : - Door-Mob-Loot ( who play Munchkin around here ? Crash the Door, Kill the Monster, Grab the Loot ) - Trap-Door-Trap-Mob-Trap-Loot-Trap There's a few MERP locations in the various adventure modules that are as deadly as Tomb of Horror ( the Citadels from Courts of Ardor, Angmar, Dol Guldur, Moria, stuff in Shadow in the South... my MERP is bit rusty, oh and Shadow World stuff is worse... the Citadels from the Ahrenreth, the Cloudlords Complex, the Dragonlords Lairs... ) And if you really really hate want to kill your players, there's always all the traps from the old Grimtooth books.

	majmalphunktion wrote on Mar 18^th, 2014 at 8:13am: 6 bucks for a dungeon is stupidly overpriced? Compared to what you get for $10, yes. A single dungeon with some average gear - even when that dungeon is huge - just does not come close to Vault of Night, Gianthold, Desert Sands and Vale. I havent bought a D&D module in 30 years so have no idea what they currently cost - however I know there are plenty of PDFs which can be purchased cheaply. Often free (though I dont know about their legality). majmalphunktion wrote on Mar 18^th, 2014 at 8:13am: Go buy a module for pen and paper--I just dropped 35 bucks for one. I thought 6 bucks was pretty retro--that is what every module was in the 80's. Since HH is a retro cool thing we were trying out, it seems appropriate. If we were ever going to do such a thing again-is there any particular module you would love to see in DDO? I keep screaming 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks' but the robots scare people off of it. Hell, I'll learn Maya and make the damn robots myself to see that module in a video game. Another classic would be G1-3, D1-3 and Q1. We have every single asset already built to pull that off. thoughts? Ask the PC !! Ive always thought Tomb of Horrors with random trap locations. Maybe even a variable ending so the players are never sure which Lich/Demi-Lich they are facing. Barrier Peaks would be fun. But players would want to keep the weapons. Perhaps drop on exit for the tech weapons, but the gear remains. Isle of the Ape would be a great equalizer. Severely limited magic, so the players must rely on their own ability. And even better... no pots, but will have us actually using Heal skill and Healing Kits !! Ravenloft the module, not the realm. Desert of Desolation series. Replace Korthos with The Village of Hommlet (or the player gets the choice where to start). Leads in to Temple of Elemental Evil. Dont really think we need Vault of the Drow series or Q1. Would be far too similar to what we already have. G1-G3 would be fun. An entire expansion of Dragonlance would be good. Imagine having lots of dragons in a D&D game !!

If there are plans to convert more modules into packs, this would be the module that I'd focus on. I'd suggest S1 Tomb of Horrors, but that would be retreading the Necro packs and I'm not sure many people be happy for a retread. Personally, I'd like to see H1-4 The Bloodstone saga used, but it ain't going to happen.

	Hey Maj, just like to say that the Halls is fricking awesome, it's just like a classic D&D module. Hell, the map on graphpaper, I love it. That is a dungeon that would be great if there was a heroic version @ level 12-15 range as well, so more people could experience it. Love ed's commentry, it's like having a GM at the table. I mean, it's .. it's D&D! that's what I signed up for. Thunderholm explore area - wow. just wow, great dwarven ruins. majmalphunktion wrote on Mar 18^th, 2014 at 4:19pm: Elemental Evil trilogy won't happen. Dang. GDQ series would be great to have.

	I thought the new content was pretty good, until I ran one of the raids last night for the first time. I like the Haunted Halls and the explorer area. Both are loads of fun until you run around with people who dont listen or are fucking idiots. Did the Temple of Deathwyrm last night. We didnt get completion and one of our party members was stuck on the shadow side. Neither got remedied until someone put in a ticket. Oh yeah, fuck the Mario brothers part in the Deathwyrm. Never seen so many people want to rage quit before.
