Was given a copy of Tomb of Horrors and I want to run it. Looking for 4 people who have not run it before and are willing to suffer.... With a novice DM.
Hook.
The Tomb of Horrors: Somewhere under a lost and lonely hill of grim and foreboding aspect lies a labyrinthine crypt. It is filled with terrible traps and not a few strong and ferocious monsters to slay the unwary. It is filled with rich treasures both precious and magical, but in addition to the aforementioned guardians, there is said to be a demi-lich who still words his final haunt. (Bewarnedthat tales told have it that this being possesses powers which make him nearly undefeatable!) Accounts relate that it is quite unlikely that any adventurers will ever find the chamber where the demi-lich Acererak lingers, for the passages and rooms of The tomb are fraught with terrible traps, poison gases, and magical protections. Furthermore, the demi-lich has so well hidden his lair, that even those who avoid the pitfalls will not be likely to locate their true goal. So only large and well-prepared parties of ther Bravest and strongest should even consider the attempt, and if they do locate the Tomb, they must be prepared to fail. Any expedition must be composed of characters of high level and varied class. They must have magical protections and weapons,and equip themselves with every sort of device possible to insure their survival.

2 or 3 sentence back story optional I won't read anything longer as this is a one shot.
Plan on starting Monday. Will close this thread Saturday night sonner if there is a lot of interest and choose a team by Sunday.
My goal would be to post every day but every 48 hours at least, I ask that you can as well.
We had two of the party drop out and are opening the table back up.
Looking for 2 more individuals to join. This is a puzzle heavy module and while I'm adding extra monsters fighting is not the focus.
The party is currently about a quarter of the way done.
Themson traveled the world as a hunter of the undead legions in his younger days, but the zeal has faded. He still believes in the cause, but not to excess, and thinks of the oath as a mistake of his youth. He has taken this quest rather performatively, in the hopes of proving to himself he is still worthy of the title.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
