Details of your scenario:

The Tomb of Horrors was designed by Gary Gygax in response to players boasting that their characters were capable of any challenge. ToH was meant to be extremely challenging and rewards those who think outside of the box. If you are a hack and slay player, you will be unhappy. This module has a dark and legendary reputation so be warned. I would like to run this updated for 5th Edition, and this post is to see if enough people would be interested in doing so.

If you decide to do this Friday I'd be very interested in joining this. Would love to play a rogue or wizard in this mod.

Average run time is 4/3 Hour sessions as per the manual. It's going a be a couple of weeks for me to convert it over from the books to 5e fantasy grounds

Hey there. I'm interested in playing through ToH. I'm also EST and either night would work for me, although I think Tuesdays might be easier. I've been a D&D nut for over a decade and have been using FG for at least half as long. I've been the DM for my weekly group the entire time, so I would thoroughly enjoy a chance to sit on the opposite side of the screen, especially if a lot of strategy is involved. Overly complicated but highly effective planning is specialty, which is what I hear ToH really requires.

Either day is good for me and would like to know more. Open to playing almost any class.

I would love to play in this one. Friday night might work best for me and every other tuesday would be ok.

I have a concept for a Dragonborn bladelock/barbarian I would like to try out.

I would love to get in on this as well. I'm also happy to play any class the party might need. I've been playing D&D a long time but I'm a newb to FG
