Temple of the Frog d20 from WotC?

[Mark Hope]

Yes, yes, my precious original Blackmoor booklet Temple of the Frog. The first published D&D adventure EVAH needs to hop again!

Indeed. There can never be enough froggy goodness. Although it's not the first published D&D adventure (that honour goes to Palace of the Vampire Queen), but it is the first one published by TSR ...

It's Here.....

You can find Return to the Temple of the Frog at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20070223a.

Thanks much for finding the link, Shroomy -- I was looking for it and getting nowhere.

This will make a great follow-up to Tomb of Abysthor.

Sweet.

I haven't had a chance to read it fully yet, but I did skim it. It looks very cool. The one thing I thought I would mention is that it uses a lot of non-core monsters but doesn't provide the stats unless they were templated or new to the module. Its not a big deal for me, since I own all of the referenced books.

I can't use it as-is to drop in as the abandoned Temple of the Frog in Ptolus, but I think I'll cannibalize the map of and room descriptions of the temple itself and fill it in on my own.

I think this would be a rather unfair move by WotC, since they had licensed the BM stuff to Zeitgeist Games earlier; ZGG is supposedly working on a release of their own version of ToF 3.5.

Yet, maybe it's Shrine of the Kuo-Toa.

Zeitgeist already had 2 modules in their blackmoor living series that was in the TOF.

It is curious, though, as to who actually owns the rights to Temple of the Frog/Blackmoor now. I had thought they were given to Dave permanently. Did they revert back to WotC recently?

Well, I notice that this is a 'Return to' update. Seems like there isn't an overlap with the Temple of the Frog that Zeitgeist is bringing out. Complementary actually.

Don't know how that sits as far as general rights to Blackmoor. But Zeitgeist has announced more products in the Blackmoor line, so unless something has changed very recently, they appear to still have rights . . .

Mr Cook,

From the limited knowledge I have, what I understand is that the *Blackmoor* rights are still with WotC, though Mr Arneson holds the rights on the original Supplement II and the First Fantasy Campaign.

BTW, thank you for Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and Ghostwalk!

Yours,
