The Tomb of Horrors
System: OSRIC
GM: Nathan Sullivan
Description: The Tomb of Horrors is perhaps the most infamous dungeon ever run. Set off with a pre-gen character to infiltrate the original “thinking person’s dungeon” and make it out with as much treasure as is humanly possible. Survive its deadly traps, destructive enemies, and learn first-hand why this classic dungeon haunts the collective psyche of the D&D community by playing the original module with OSRIC, a modern recreation of the AD&D 1e ruleset, in one night only. Sword and sorcery in tone with a focus on many, many traps and puzzles to solve.
