[QUOTE="DragonLancer, post: 5405347, member: 11868"] The complete Temple of Elemental Evil was the second adventure book I bought for 1st ed AD&D (Book of Lairs 2 was the first) and I remember that it wasn't until 2nd ed that I actually got to run it. The keep/moathouse bit always worked well but the actual Temple and dungeons themselves were terrible. I hate weird (and large) dungeon layouts and ToEE had some of the worst I have seen. It made mapping almost impossible for the players and wasted time while I had to correct obvious errors in their mapwork. Plus it never felt that I properly fleshed out dungeon. RttToEE was much better but still had issues that caused us to give up on it after an almost TPK less than half way throguh the module. ToE will remain a fond part of my D&D collection but I have no doubts as to how poor a module it really was. [/QUOTE]
