After TCB's release I didn't see many Halph puzzles... I want to encourage the architects to place Halph in some rooms, since it's a great puzzle element.

Why not try your hand at it yourself? ;)

See the Smitemaster's Selection: Halph Stories.
I also used him quite a lot in The Final Confrontation.

See also my entry to Holds Al Dente 2: Palschkeep Thwettlebep, which contains some interesting Halph puzzles, in my opinion :)

I think the hard part is that most of the time there needs to be a story justification for including Halph in a hold, but I agree that it would be nice to see more puzzles involving him in more holds.

There's a difference - we are talking about using the pre-placed Halph entity to assist the main player (usually Beethro) in solving rooms, while your entry is a Player Role Halph dungeon.

Oops, sorry, I though you were talking about Halph player role. :(

Having Halph bop around willy-nilly in a hold bothers me. I'm talking about how he can appear for a room, help you, get let behind, only to reappear later chirping "Here I am again." I guess that's just my feeling about Halph as an element entirely. I liked how the beginning of Doctor E. Will's Megacomplex handled this: you have to work your way around to where Halph got left behind to get his help again. So hold architecture can ameliorate this problem for me.
