Have any of you ran your players through the Theater Kid Wood Chipper? How many of them tried to stick something in Acererak's mouth?
this shitpost again?>theater kid liberals cant handle REAL gamingit was a tournament module intentionally written to be as bad an experience to play as possible, and notoriously went through multiple revisions to remove any possible way of finding success from it. if your DM gives you this dungeon the only way to "win" is to pour your drink out over their head and leave. if you want to know why just look at any of the dozen other times this faggot has made the exact same thread
>>97374137I am intrigued on the story of why they would intentionally do that. Was it a stress test or something?
>>97374144It exists for the same reason Samuel Haight exists in WoD. For shits and giggles.
best old-school adventure is Caverns of Thracia btw
>>97374144Old-school "GM vs player" think where the GM was specifically supposed to make dungeons as unwinnable as possible and the players had to out smart the GM and avoid bullshit gotchas by pure instinct
>>97374144two reasons. to explore the concept of adversarial DMing through the in-character smug rules-abusing cunt of accerarack, and as a tournament module where the goal was to play as sweatily and shittily as possiblefamously, it stopped having adamantine doors after a party stole the doors, melted them down and left. That is the intended way to play it too. refuse to engage with any of the dungeon wherever possible. ignore the face. take no magic doors. all puzzles are decoys, all traps are bullshit. just hire some slaves and have them dig a tuunnel through over a period of 24 months. its cheaper and you wont die doing it (not that there's any treasure at any of the false-ends anyway)
>>97374486>party stole the doors, melted them down and left.Ah the good old days. When you werent chosen ones, you just wanted money.
>>97374137No, it's still possible to put the skull in a bag of holding and then throw the bag into the sphere of annihilation / black hole.
>>97374464This is the real answer.Also, the OSR movement is a fool's errand carefully constructed by real players to help quarantine the cancer. Do you part and help to preserve the illusion which befuddles them by pretending you don't know about this fact.
Theatre kids are more fun to play with
>>97374607In my experience, they're the most boring, because they always took time away from playing the game.
>>97374656ntsa but the table has to have some flare for dramatics or weeb energy or something, or otherwise you get 'ill move my character into range and attack' for every and all steps of combat.
