I've got a 5E game running now around Phandalin and levels 1-5 are going to be a mix of Tombstone the movie (with the Zhentarim as the bad guys) and Keep on the Borderlands, but I expect levels 6-10 or so will involved the Temple of Elemental Evil and a plot to free Cyric.The original Temple of Elemental Evil was so lacking in detail that it really feels generic rather than Greyhawk-specific. It was only Monte's Return to in 3E that made it feel like Greyhawk or even elemental. It's also already played a part in both Scourge of the Sword Coast and Dead in Thay just prior to 5E's release.So, yeah, not a fan of Tiamat being used for the umpteenth time using a plot idea that sounds like it was cobbled together from Dragons of Eberron but I'm happy to see elemental evil getting a guernsey in FR.IMO. YMMV.</blockquote>
