FAVOURITE ADVENTURE: 1e - The Slavers (A1-4) 2e - Return to the Tomb of Horrors. Took a poor, old player-killer and made it into an interesting, if grim, tale.
LEAST FAVOURITE ADVENTURE: Tomb of Horrors, the original. Just an exercise in instant death. Just saying "wham, you're dead" does not make for a fun game. But when revised with "Return" it became an interesting adventire.
