This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Was there an adventure for D&D, or maybe the OSR, that had the PCs going into a pyramid?  If so, which was it?

B4: The Lost City by Tom Moldvay
Takes place within a pyramid.

Also possibly I3 Pharoh?

The Lost City, module B4, by Tom Moldvay had most of the adventure happen in a huge step pyramid drowned under sand.

Overall a good adventure with a lot of sandbox possibilities (you could run a whole campaign down there) with strong Hollow earth/Lost wolrd vibes.

It was one of the first adventures I tried m teeth on ad Dm... too many years ago.

The Desert of Desolation series includes a great pyramid. I forget which one it is (I3?) but it should be relatively easy to find.

Idle curiosity or something in mind?

By the powers of Google et co combined, here are some results

H3 Pyramid of Shadows for 4E (by Mike Mearls)

Pyramid of the Sky Pharaoh for Pathfinder (possibly not the only one)

and another, older Paizo release, this time for 3.5E
Pathfinder Module J4: The Pact Stone Pyramid

EDIT: other results
The Lost Pyramid of Imhoptep is an OSRIC module designed for 4-6 adventurers of levels 4-7

There was a pyramid exploration in Traveller. I first saw it in The Traveller Book.

But it may have been the same one as contained in the here.

It was in Starter Traveller as well as The Traveller Book and Double Adventure #1. "Shadows" is the name of the adventure. Sure got around.

Oh. And Mummies and a few other weirdos in Spelljammer like to tool around space in pyramids. Flying. Armed. Pyramids.

Pyramid of Suberus was a great mini-adventure / tourney in Judges Guild Pegasus magazine Issue 7. The adventures used to be free downloads from JG's website.

Probably hiding somewhere these days too.

Kinda tiny compared to actual pyramids. I assume they launch the top only.

Tamoachan was more of a ziggurat than a pyramid but a great pressure cooker.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

Second Desert of Desolation, that was a great pyramid.

If I'm not mistaken, Necropolis has a pyramid in it. (the Gary Gygax one)
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans
