Speedrunning the Tomb of Horrors
The Tomb of Horrors is a classic adventure in D&D history. It was one of the first big convention dungeons run by Gary Gygax himself and shown up in all kinds of cultural references like the book/movie Ready Player One.
The Tomb of Horrors was posited as an epic “thinking man’s” dungeon of traps and death to challenge even the highest level characters. In reality, it’s hardly a “thinking man’s” dungeon. It’s more like a 90’s era King’s Quest game that is all about arbitrarily killing you at every turn. Curiosity or touching almost anything will kill you without warning. It’s clear this was a dungeon designed to kill high level characters that irked Gygax off with their bragging about being able to defeat anything.
Runesmith decides to give this dungeon the same treatment other games from the era got: a speedrun. He does a hilarious job describing the dungeon and his solution that speed-runs the whole thing with only one character in just 21 rounds or 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
