Episode 12: Learning from Modules: The Temple of Elemental Evil

In this episode, we take a more practical look at what we can learn from three examples of boxed text descriptions from the classic 1985 module The Temple of Elemental Evil written by Gary Gygax.

  • How does Gygax set the stage for adventure?
  • What can we learn from his physical descriptions of natural spaces and dungeon/temple rooms?
  • How have the needs and expectations surrounded description changed?
  • What are some things we might need to adjust or change to suit our own groups or our DMing/GMing style?
