Ok, about 10 years ago a module came out that was like a special anniversary module for characters level 20+. There was a warning on it that you should not play with your favorite characters as they would most likely die. I was reading through it and there were instant death traps and all, but it was too long ago for me to remember what it was really about. I know it is vague, but does anyone out there know what I am talking about?

I have no real idea of the name of it, but did it happen to have a sphere of annhililation in it?
I think I remember reading about some module that was a real killer like that, not sure it's name though, sorry.

I believe Labyrinth of Madness is the adventure you are looking for.

And you may be speaking of the Tomb of Horrors.

ooooo! sweet nourishing Tomb of Horrors ;)

iirc, that one was never really intended for campaigns, it was a tournament style module to test your skills in a incredibly deadly crawl where there were few monsters and hideously lethal traps everywhere. Our group played that once when I was 13 with our normal characters and the DM pretty much said at the start "This isn't part of the campaign. When your PC dies -and he will- he won't be dead 'for real'."

Two options:

1. Return to the Tomb of Horrors - Came with the original module as well. Very deadly with tons of traps and you could quite possibly lose your favorite characters.

2. The Apocalypse Stone - While I don't think this was an anniversary adventure, it does basically destroy your existing campaign world and is meant for high-level characters.

I think you are probably thinking of Return to the Tomb of Horrors though.

Labyrinth of Madness came out 10 years ago, was for high level characters, was loaded with death traps, was a 20th aniversary adventure, and had a warning about bringing your favorite character. I'm pretty sure he's talking about Labyrinth of Madness.

I had a 4 character party during a campaign survice Tomb of Horros, of course it took 3 wishes and alsmost destroyed the party, but hey that's what high level adventuring is all about.

An awsome module btw, I did expect my players to die, but they got smart fast.
