I'm thinking of running a Tomb of Horrors game for Halloween. My goal is to start and finish it within this weekend, so we will start on Saturday at 5:00 PM EDT and run as long as we can, and then if we need to, we will finish things up on Sunday. I run on Eastern Daylight Savings time.
Players interested should be familiar with using DnDBeyond for their character sheet, as well as Roll20 for maps and video (optional), with Beyond20 to connect the two. We will also be using Discord for voice. Players should not be murder hobos and will not have played the Tomb of Horrors module before. My games demand respect between all players, regardless of race/sex/gender/etc. If you can name it, we are respectful about it.
This is the infamous Tomb of Horrors, so please don't bring a character into this that you are hoping won't die. I may take some slight liberties from the module for reasons here and there, but largely it will be run just as ruthlessly as Gary Gygax intended. You may create a single back-up character to have ready in case your main character dies. If all players and back-up characters die, we will end the module there.
Players may expect:
- Starting at level 16 - 5,000 gp plus 1d10 × 250 gp - Three uncommon magic items - One rare magic item - Level 1 feat - Rolled HP OR Fixed HP; automatically re-roll 1's (must choose before rolling; remember that the 1st HP die is maximum) - Rolled AS, Point-Buy OR Standard Array (must choose before rolling) - Roll for starting gold OR take normal starting equipment (must choose before rolling) -You can also choose to re-roll anything once. So you can choose to do any of the following: -> Re-roll all of your ability scores -> Re-roll just one of your ability scores -> Re-roll all of your HP dice -> Re-roll just one of your HP dice rolls You have to take the 2nd roll, if you choose to use this - Backstories not required, though basic information is helpful
You may use your gold on anything, using prices from here (if something you want isn't listed, you can ask me):
All modules available in DnDBeyond are allowed except homebrew (talk to me if there is a homebrew you REALLY need to have). We will use the Rule of Cool, within reason.
Please message me here on this thread (a MUST to keep the thread bumping and more people joining), in my DnDBeyond messages, and on Discord at KBShaman#9732 if you are interested.
Please include in your DM to me:

Hello Shaman I was curious about your one shot and was wondering if there was availability. Or even if I fit your criteria for player
Im from the UK but I'm a night owl so your time zone I should be only four hours out so should work. I've played before but not in a while so could be slightly rusty (and on roll 20 and bits) I've never played tomb of horrors but know of it from reading art and arcana book.
If I am to play what does the group need as would rather make a rounded team?
Hey, thanks for the interest! Add me on discord for quicker replies, but you sound like a great fit! Make sure Beyond20 is downloaded so that you can use your DnDBeyond character sheet to roll in Roll20.
As for class make-up, it looks so far like we have a Fighter, a Cleric, and another Cleric.

Your experience with DnD Beyond, Roll20, and D&D in general: been in multiple campaigns on roll 20 and made several characters on DnD beyond so I'm very familiar with it. played dnd for the past 2 years.
Any questions you have from me: what day are you thinking
Great to hear! We are looking at starting tomorrow, Saturday, though we haven't decided on a time yet. I sent you an invite in Discord!
