The rebranding thing totally works. Just ask Acererak. No one wanted to go to the Tomb of Horrors anymore.... but the Tomb of Annihilation? Count me in.

[@elf-lordsfriarofthemeadowl2039]

I see what you did there

[@Aeroldoth3]

Did they actually remake the tomb of horrors? When was this?

[@TheCrippledHalfling]

Aeroldoth3 Tomb of Annihilation is the newest official campaign module for 5th Edition D&D. It's basically a spiritual successor to Tomb of Horrors, including a mega-dungeon created by the Lich Acererak just like before. The main difference is that Tomb of Annihilation takes place in this massive dinosaur island sandbox.

[@TheCrippledHalfling]

Aeroldoth3 Oh also they did kind of remake Tomb of Horrors itself as well. Tales from the Yawning Portal is an official collection of classic and difficult adventure modules updated for 5th Edition D&D, including Tomb of Horrors.

[@XraynPR]

[@controllerfreak78]

Fort_Master because even though it's challenging, and sometimes even unfair, it's still rewarding just to get through a difficult section. Regardless of how much loot you get for it.

Fort_Master Masochism.

[@shadedfalcon]

Fort_Master There are two types of rewards: physical, and personal. Physical rewards are things like money, loot, food. Personal rewards are things like love, accomplishment, and pride. Most games stick to physical rewards, because it's easier to make. Dark Souls makes sure you know just how hard it is, so that when you beat it, or even just a section of it, you feel accomplished.

You guys are all slightly above average actors, but I like the acting because it feels so legitimate. The characters seem to be actual people who think and breathe, instead of just another lifeless caricature.

[@DoorMonster]

Thank you :)

[@a-drewg1716]

i would say better then above average because a average actor sucks balls since it takes every single human who has ever acted before and then averages. I can guess the ratio of good to middle school level acting is immense so the average would actually be sucky. So i would say decent actors. Really the only bad thing going for them is low budget. That means worse sets, props, smaller acting crews, smaller work crews, and plenty of other things.

The last two times we played that, the same guy was the traitor both times. The first, we were all shrunk and his cat caught and ate all of us without us having the smallest chance. The second, he got trapped in a smoke-filled room the turn before, and literally couldn't roll high enough to escape except by rolling his Dark Dice each turn and hoping for a stat boost, meanwhile we guessed where he'd buried our friend alive the first turn and rescued her in in three, before he'd had a chance to do more than more a few tiles.

Forget Dragon's Maze or Dungeon of Doom. I hear of this nice little dungeon called Bitterblack Island. They are hiring drakes *AND* undead right now. Going to apply there.

The guy even hired Death to work for him, it just wanders around the entire dungeon and one shots people at random when they are especially unlucky. I'm telling you Bitterblack the next big thing.
