| The Forgotten Pyramid of Memmna-Tha-Khesh Deep within the desert, a colossal pyramid defies the weight of millennia. The polished limestone casing that once proudly reflected the desert sun has long since crumbled away, revealing dark, gaping openings that yawn into the heart of the ancient structure. But who would dare venture inside? The local Bedouin tribes never pitch camp near the pyramid; they actively avoid its long shadow. Yet, their legends speak of wondrous treasures concealed within. From time to time, bold explorers and tomb robbers set out to uncover ancient secrets, but none are ever known to have returned laden with riches. Be the first to survive the perils hidden inside the Pyramid of Memmna-Tha-Khesh, bypass its ancient traps, and claim the treasures that lie undisturbed in the deep! - System: OD&D 1974 (3LBB without Chainmail)
