Thanks for the excellent video! I DMed this back in the 80s when it first came out and this brought back some amusing memories. By the time my party got to the 2nd level they had become so wary there was no way they were going to fall for the pool-of-water trap in the water temple or the werewolves pretending to be angels, despite my best efforts to make them seem convincing. The party's general principle of exploration had become: "Trust nothing and no-one - at any moment we could be hit by a deadly trap." The thief in particular was completely paranoid, constantly checking for traps and urging hostile action against everything encountered. A perfectly reasonable attitude under the circumstances ha ha!

When I ran this for my group in the way-back, they went through about 3-5 characters each, after they ran out of resurrection money. And they skipped almost all of floor two, snuck through floor 3 (the party by then was over half thieves a.k.a. rogues) and broke the module so badly that I ended up giving them a win by turning the whole place into a slow-motion sinkhole as I timed their running exit through the falling stonework. - I bought the boxed set years later, but I can't convince my self to go through the work of converting it to the Rolemaster system we use these days.

I remember runni g it way back. The group changed their philosophy so much from Homlet where they had been very hack and slash to the end of TOEE where the group was now dominated by spellcasters who used protection & detection magic & two thieves. An elven thief skilled in detection & disarming and a halfling scout thief who would check out the way ahead. But our Paladin was probably the MVP! 🏅

Same. Speaking of which, the Owlbear from the old basic version of Keep on the Borderlands had a hug attack if it hit you with both paws... This seems to be missing from later additions. Anyone know why by any chance? I have tried watching people play through the keep on KZbin but using later editions and it seems this module is almost way too easy now. The Ogre, Minotaur and owlbear are lucky to get an attack in. Back in the day these creatures were terrifying at 1-3rd level.

About the name, Gygax explained that what is "Elemental Evil" has nothing to do (necessarily) with the Classical Elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth) but "Elemental" as in "Primordial". The Elder Elemental God (not Tharizdun, btw) is named Vilp-akf ’cho Rentaq (according to Gygax) was able to "manifest" part of himself below the Temple (this likely being what attracted Zuggtmoy, Iuz the Old and Lolth to the location).

I had this module but my friends and I could never get into it. I’m not exactly sure why, I think it had something to do with the sheer illogicality of the rival factions living literally yards from each other. I still have the module now and it seems much better and than I remember. I think 5e Princes of the Apocalypse (iirc) is a sort of remake or re-envisioning of ToEE. It’s similar in many ways but has more of a true elemental focus.
@Bluecho4
@Bluecho4 3 жыл бұрын
The presence of competing elemental temples can be explained by a few factors. First, while the temples hate one another and wish to dominate, they're still nominally allies against their enemies outside the Temple of Elemental Evil. They have more in common with each other than they do with those outside. They've likely formed loose agreements to work together, all while secretly plotting betrayal. In a time when the forces of elemental evil already suffered great losses to the forces of good, they need all the help they can get. Moreover, factions within the temple may seek to win over converts from the others, to bolster its own ranks. So outright killing the other temples is counterproductive. Second, the temples are hardly invincible. Attacking another temple outright would invariably cost them resources and manpower, things they can't afford to lose. Or at the very least they're enough of cowards to not risk it when they don't need to. This is why the temples prefer to engage in covert attacks and skullduggery, to weaken their rivals while taking minimal casualties themselves. Third, there aren't just two temples, but four. Regardless of whether any given temple could "take" another temple, it's much harder to take two or three at a time. If one temple fights another and wins, they may be so weakened that one or both remaining temples may launch an attack. Waiting in the wings to destroy whoever wins when they're at their most vulnerable. This doesn't even get into the fact that the temples may have a common understanding that if one temple attacks another, all other temples will gang up on the aggressor. Simply as a mechanism for preventing any one temple from getting too powerful. After all, if one temple was ballsy enough to pull off a direct assault, that temple must be enough of a threat that the other temples would be fools to ignore. Fourth, the Greater Temple Faction exists, and often serves as a neutral party in temple politics. A faction that's fairly powerful in its own right. They keep out of the conflicts, for now, but their neutrality is conditional on everything being "chill". Plus, their motives are mysterious and their capabilities unknown. No temple wants to risk dragging them into a battle (much less on the other side). All of this combines to form a dubious equilibrium. What makes the PCs special is that they're a new element that doesn't exist within any temple's hierarchy. Ergo, they tilt things in the favor of a specific temple, allowing them to topple their rivals for good. Or at least that's the plan. Groups like the trolls serve a similar function, as they're actively courted by all the temples.

Baaacckkk in the day here's I ran it: 1) The way I put my campaign together was by taking all the old modules sitting around that I had and 'stitched' their campaign maps together. So it was patchwork map of Hommlet, Barovia, Amber, Restenford, bordered on the south by the coast with the Isle of Dread, to the west by a desert with the Lost City, and to the north by the Barrier Peaks, which have been taken over by Hill Giants at the bottom, Frost Giants at the top, and a Fire Giant in the voclano in the middle and you have to go 'against the giants' if one wanted to go on 'an expidtion to the barrier peaks' to discover the Forbidden City on the other side. OK, so on this side of the peaks, our characters start in Hommlett. When they clear out the Moathouse they discover that these Evil Bandits were taking orders from the Temple of Eleental Evil which is...somewhere in the campaign world, so the characters must adventure forth and find it, and they can decide where to go next Barovia, Restenford, The Hill, or Amber. as they adventure around they discover that agents from the temple have been influencing events all over the place bringing varying curses down upon the likes of Barovia, Amber, and Inverness. Each adventre leads them closer to discovering the location of the Temple until they finally discover it. Turns out the Temple isnt exactly organized. Over the last 100 years the temple has become essentially the Hommlett for monsters, so its kind of liek a town full of monster adventurers who are going to sally forth into the world of men and seek their fortune, and the Caves of Chaos are the monsters version of the Keep on the Borderlands where young duty bound monsters go to defend against the hordes of men, dwarves and elves. However in my case a Cthulh cult (using the stats from the original Dieties and Demigods) is itself trying to take over the Temple from within and then spread its dark reign using Castle Amber, Castle Ravenloft, the Keep on the Borderlands, and a crazy Spaceship as its outer defense perimeters. As with all DM plans we never got through that whole thing, and I actually spread that same campaign out over two entirely different groups of people.

Will you cover the board game versions of D&D (main game against the lich Necratim, and the expansions Eternal Winter with Skraethor the ice dragon and Forbidden Forest with the druids Elwick and Orwick)? It's the most dumbed-down version of D&D you can get, but it was great to get a bunch of figurines and maps at once. Plus, representing spells, items, and monsters as cards (kind of like in Magic: The Gathering) made these things much easier to grasp for the players.

I know that the 5e princes of the apocalypse module also deals with 'elemental evil', but I'm not sure it actually constitues a sequel to ToEE as it has rather different mainsprings. ToEE's 'elemental evil' is never properly defined, and, if being by Gygax, I always had the impression that it was some sort of colossal red herring, like the 'elemental Eye' cult found in G3 and D3 and the Gord the Rogue novels, where the 'cult' (adopted by the Eilservs Drow as they brok from Lolth) is actually a cover for ill defined evil forces (I've heard named Iuz, various demon lords, or even Tharizdun). On the other hand, PotA relies on what Gygax did not use, the Princes of Elemental Evil from the Fiend Folio, and thus actually relies on evil elementals for its mainspring.

Super Dungeon. When this came out our DM didn't like it or find it playable. We never played it. I like the idea of elemental evil and often have element based puzzles or monsters in my dungeons /adventures, I was always a little ticked that Nulb wasn't included in the Village of Hommlet module. I do like the lost temple of Tharizdun and I think prefer that final big bad to what is to be found in the Temple of Elemental Evil. I think I'd have to rework this to bring a group through, probably bringing in more elemental evil factors and ending with an elder god of some sort who has a temple at the Caves of Chaos and is one of the competing factions with Loth in the Against the Giants and Against the Drow Modules.

could you make a vid on how you would improve and run this adventure. Like how would you use theme the elemental theme differently or what would you do to emphasize it.

I played the computer game of ToEE, that used 3.5 rules. Buggy game but it was ok. Alot of the Hommlet stuff with the Moathouse and all was part of it

Posted a request earlier, was hoping for a response. In ToEE, while in Homlett, do they still fact off against the cleric like they do in T1, did not see that mentioned and looking to run ToEE but was not sure on that part or can I put the cleric into that section so it is more inline with T1 before going to the Temple?

Was this super module mean to be played as T1 originally and then continue on....so if you are running this, you do not need to run the original T1 module, Village of Hommlett. Do they fact the 5th level cleric in the super module?

That is why you do NOT read all that Exposition. When it is long. Print it out. Hand it to the players to read. Take a break as a GM or take care of GM duties you need to work on, so this eats up game time, OR you can in fact post this prior to the game. Let players read it and expect them to do so. Modern players, at least many of them, then would treat players who don't read it as somehow bad or wrong headed players, then give them passive aggressive crap, or outright aggression, since they might eat up a little game time asking questions about what was in the couple pages of expository that they didn't read or fully read. Yup, modern gamers, especially those who love the X Card, love to do stuff like that, or ban that player in a self-justified moment of triumph as they have the real power, not the other player they ban. As such, they are the true real oppressor. That is modern Current Year gaming today.

I ran the 3.0 version of the module "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" for almost one full year. We played once a week and I had about 5-8 players per week. We would play-4-5 hours at a time. I had a kill count of well over 35 pc's. I've got stories. I got the moniker of "Bruce the Butcher". Even though half way through the campaign I was rolling all my dice in the open!!!!

Hate to nitpick, but I had mispronounced "braziers" in one of my own games. This was when I was much younger, and the crowd I was gaming with were.... well, mostly 12. You know how kids that age can be, hence the dirty snickers when I did so... yeah? so? I snickered, too. I was 12. In many ways, I still am, don't judge. 🧐 So, in an effort to avoid any indication of, um, "Booby-Traps" (hur hur hur)... Brazier is actually pronounced BRAY--zee--er, and not as one would pronounce "brassiere". I'm just sayin'... 😜
