Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan - Area 18-20

In this video series we check out the classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Module, C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan room-by-room and in detail as a Dungeon Master. This is not a review, but rather an in-depth study on every encounter, how to run it, and how players often perceive the challenges.

Im really digging this series of videos! After watching the first Tamoachan video I dug my old copy out and have been following along in it. A couple of our regular D&D group arent available one or two weekends a month. The weekends they arent available ive been running one offs or short 2-3 session games for the rest of the gang. Ive been running RPGs they had heard about but hadn't played before like Call of Cthulhu and Little Black Book Traveller and since none of them have really played 1st ed I had been thinking about running one of the old AD&D tournament modules, like Tamoachan or one of the Slavers series to give them that late 70s-early 80s experience. Run it as a tourney game with scores, timed etc... Watching your Tamoachan videos has made me realize I can't really run that sort of game or at least if I did they wouldn't get very far and sure wouldn't get any enjoyment out of the game. I have a great group, they are all great friends and great gamers, have been playing since 2nd or 3rd edition but that 70s-80s style of play, particularly a tournament adventure is so different from modern play style I dont think they could or would make the adjustment. I still might run Tamoachan but definitely not a timed, scored adventure like I had originally planned. Anyway, thanks for putting these videos out, im looking forward to the next installment and looking forward to seeing which module your next tour will be.

I'm glad you popped in and had fun with the videos! I've been out west for over a month doing research and of course, long hikes and horse riding for my next TRPG. Decimation - Outlaws and Lawmen. I love Tamoachan, but it's quirky. It lacks real Maya cosmology, mystery, and tome-style setting. Talking crabs? Dead ends? Mud? Where's the real scary mystery! I do plan on picking up the walkthroughs soon!
