Old Modules

[Tzarevitch]

Hopefully someone out there knows the answer to this question.
How do the modules "The Village of Hommlet", "The Forgotten Temple of Tharzidun" and "The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" relate to the original "Temple of Elemental Evil" adventure?

Are they separete adventures or are they included in the larger "Temple of Elemental Evil" adventure buuk itself (like the adventures that make up the "Against the Giants" series?

I have checked on the web and all I can find is that the adventures are somehow related to "Temple of Elemental Evil". Basically, what I want to know is if I buy the PDF of "Temple of Elemental Evil", is there any reason to buy the other three or are they redundant?

T1 The Village of Hommlet (1979) was incorporated into T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil (1985) with a few changes and redrawn maps. S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (not 'Tharzidun') are two adventures, set in the Yatil Mountains far north of Hommlet and the Temple in the World of Greyhawk, that are linked to each other but are separate from T1-4. (Though they're distantly connected to T1-4 by the involvement of Iggwilv the Oldest Witch in the background.)

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Tzarevitch, there are several good resources online for additional info about T1, T1-4, S4, and WG4. Is there anything in particular that you're looking for, info-wise, beyond general details about the modules' relatedness?

Can you give some examples of such resources, especially for S4 and WG4?

I've got a pretty good S4 page at http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_s4.html
I like Maldin's S4/WG4 location analysis a lot, which is at http://melkot.com/locations/yatils.html as well as http://pages.sbcglobal.net/zimriel/NightBelow/tharizdun.html and the various Tharizdun details from Gygax and Kuntz interviews in the Oerth Journal (see www.canonfire.com Downloads for links).

Anything in particular you're looking for, Col.?
