Dungeons & Dragons 5e:
Tomb of Horrors Grindhouse
Rating: PG-13 | Skill Level: Intermediate
Arguably the Most Infamous dungeon in Dungeons & Dragons history, the Tomb of Horrors has claimed the lives of many a favorite PC since its creation in 1975. Designed to challenge the skill of expert players and to test players who boasted of having player characters able to best any challenge.
Of course, when faced with such a challenge there is always the other option. Through waves upon waves of PCs at the dungeon, hope for the best, and as you die shout “There are 49 more of me. Acererak!” Each player brings as many characters as they wish (Pre-Gens will also be provided). As a character dies, the next character is brought up as if the character was there the whole time. This next character could be one of the players, one of the standard pre-gens, or One of the DM Specials (Characters designed to be unique and amusing).
Players looking to take on the Tomb will be able to either bring their own characters or choose from one of the basic Pre-generated Adventurers available.
Rules for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Characters:
- Characters are Built from the 2014 Rules Set.
- Level 15 or an equivalent Multi-Class.
- The characters must be built out of Established Printed Material. (No Online material such as Unearthed Arcana, DMs Guild, or any other Unofficial or Playtest material.) However, the character must make sense of the powers used. (I.E. if your character has a Dragonmark, the character must be from Eberron and built out of Eberron rules.)
- Use the 4d6 drop 1 Method of rolling your character. However, you may reroll any number below a ten.
- There will not be attunement in the game.
- Magic Items for your character will be provided to you at the game.
DISCLAIMER:
Though this is a 5e Dungeons & Dragons game, it has been modified to be much more deadly, as the good Gygax intended. As such things like Death Saving Throws are not going to be a thing. This will be a 4-5 hour session of the Traditional D&D version of the Tomb of Horrors. The game is designed for 6-8 players, however, the DM can choose to add more should the need arise.
