All the contents within this book were first published on my Renegade Legion web site; this book is just a way to create something easier to read and much. This means that some of the ideas might very well be rather dumb ones, or have inconsistencies, or make no sense -- in other words, I didn't go back over it to see if. Legionnaire is the role-playing game (RPG) set in the Renegade Legion universe. It expands the.

Most of my gaming time now is spent playing miniature wargames like, but I started off playing back in 1979. And it's fair to say that the way we played D&D back then is more like the modern definition of wargaming than roleplaying (albeit with an 'army of one' per player - our characters) as we weren't interested in improvisational acting and getting into character. Not that I'm knocking the theatrical approach to roleplaying - over the years I've run World of Darkness campaigns (most notably and ) in which there was very little combat and the dice barely hit the table. For some time now, I've been very interested in getting back to my roots and running the classic 1st edition for my players. Unfortunately, I couldn't get anybody interested in the idea - the Tomb has such an infamous reputation!

(Actually, far from a desire to act as a 'killer DM' and wipe out the party, my motivation in wanting to run the Tomb has been a belief that my players are fully capable of making it through the tomb and I felt that it could prove to be a challenging and rewarding experience for them.

(I suspect that a major motivation was 'let's get this over with so Dad will shut up about how much he wants to run it,' though they were also intrigued by the idea of taking on such a tough adventure.) Currently, I prefer the for Old School D&D gaming, as it's a wonderfully clutter free and playable game. In this instance, I was worried that this would make the experience too difficult, as 1st edition characters are more powerful than their B/X counterparts at higher levels, and they have access to many more utility spells that could prove helpful in the Tomb. So we did a rules 'mashup' in which we used the B/X rules with the AD&D spell lists and character classes grafted on. In the end, this proved to be entirely unnecessary and if I get the chance to run the adventure again in the future, I intend to just use the official B/X rulebooks.

For anyone wanting to play the Tomb of Horrors, I'd suggest that the proper mindset for both the Gamemaster and the players is vital to making it an enjoyable experience. I would not spring this module on players without warning them about it first, nor would I have them take beloved personal characters through it. In our case, I informed my players that although the Tomb has a well deserved reputation as being a 'thinking man's dungeon,' it's a 'bomb squad mentality' (proceed slowly and cautiously and thoroughly test everything) that is most helpful in the adventure. In addition, I told them that there are encounters in this dungeon that are very capricious and that they could expect to have characters die despite the fact that they as players hadn't done anything wrong. (There is a 68 page long thread on the Tomb at enworld.org that is extremely helpful for the Gamemaster, and I based my approach on the material I found there.) In our case, I made up character sheets for the twenty pregenerated characters in the module, and crossed out the lines for name and alignment as I wanted to encourage 'roll playing' over roleplaying for this particular adventure. I also prepped up 10mm figures for all the characters.
