[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6564287, member: 87576"] I look at it very differently. ToEE was a terrible product. It was never finished before it was published and it paid, at best, lip service to the concept of Elemental Evil. To think we waited that long for such a pathetic sequel to the excellent T1.... Anyway, for me and many others, the concept of Elemental Evil is a very generic concept. Maybe if it had been firmly grounded in Greyhawk - like if EGG had finished ToEE before it was published and maybe paid more than lip service to the concept of Elemental Evil - then it would be more firmly fixed in the RPG zeitgeist as an unalterably Greyhawk product. Based on reading the D&D Encounters version of [I]Princes of the Apocalypse[/I] - the first quarter or so of the adventure that will soon be here - I have to inform you that a new Temple of Elemental Evil will make an appearance. Personally, I am really excited by the new adventure. It's clear that, unlike ToEE, this time the authors are making sure it feels like the threats actually are ELEMENTAL and a lot of effort has been made to differentiate the various elemental cults. Finally, ToEE is going to be done right.... [/QUOTE]
