Wandering Adventure Party

Once again, ScottyG, long ago, pointed out something interesting about T1-4 ToEE. The dungeon beneath the moathouse has rooms shaped like letters, E, L, M, N, T, A, I, and V.With those letters you can spell ELEMENTAL EVIL.#dnd #rpg #ttrpg #osr #gygax #toee

Going back to my theory that Temple of Elemental Evil is suppose to be Lolth and the Elder Elemental God... Does it sound crazy? Well, hah! Gary Gygax confirmed it himself in an enworld thread. ScottG asked him about the Lolth Platinum Egg and Gary repliedAs you note, the shapes were repeated in the ToEE as I did intend to tie the latter into the series. Lolth was to be connected to the temple, she the key to activation of that which would remove the imprisoning bonds from the Elder Elemental God. Of course that would have been by unintended consequences of her actions when the PCs discovered her. Hoiw it was all to operate was something I never did get fleshed out. This was to happen in the lower levels of the temple, the development of which I never got around to because of my work out on the West Coast.

Does anybody know anything about the #castle #model in the picture? I knew #Gygax and friends were mini wargamers, but I don't think I've seen this before. #ttrpg #rpg #dnd #tsr #terrain
