[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 1848771, member: 386"] Well, I'm playing Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil with some Cthulhu flavour. Spoilers will follow. [SPOILER]I've switched the Elemental Temples to Cthulhu ones, giving them more flavour (except Fire) and more spooky fun. Earth is now Shub-Niggurath, and she is a harsh mistress. Anyway, I'm going to replace some of the Earth creatures - Elementals and Xorns - with Dark Young. In the last portion of the module, the Elemental Prince of Fire gets released. At this point, I'm not sure if Fire will be successful in releasing its Prince first, or if that will fall to Water (Cthulhu), Earth (Shubby), or Air (Hastur). If Earth is successful in what it wants to do, I'll replace Prince Imix of Fire with a slightly-weakened Shoggoth. Even though Shoggoths aren't related to Shubby, they have the same sort of flavour, and the whole Mythos is meant to be mixed up and played with.[/SPOILER] The big problem with the Shoggoth from the d20 book is that they are CR 21. You can't really use them very much. Although having all the PCs run in mad terror as a "nightmare plastic column of foetid black iridescence" oozes after them, screaming "TEKELI-LI!" the whole time, might be fun. [/QUOTE]
