Goodman Games has announced that the sixth title in the Original Adventures Reincarnated line will see a return to the first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (after OAR 3 Expedition to Barrier Peaks) and what a return it is: T 1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil! This mega module, first released in 1985, helped TSR to overcome its famous 1984/85 financial crisis (with Unearthed Arcana and Oriental Adventures) which saw the last return of Gary Gygax to the helm of the company. T 1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil is still a very popolar module and highly collectible.
Here is the official announcement: "Like all of the Original Adventures Reincarnated line, this release will contain both the original material scanned in and cleaned up to present it as it originally appeared, along with a full, new 5E translation in the second half of the book. The new material is being designed by a creative team led by Chris Doyle with contributions from Rick Maffei and others, all of whom are seasoned veterans of Dungeons and Dragons across its many incarnations. Unlike the previous five volumes in the OAR line, the sheer size and scope of this module requires something new: OAR #6: The Temple of Elemental Evil will be released as a two-volume hardcover slipcase edition. The two volumes will also contain expert commentary about the original modules and their history".
The slipcase set should be released "in late 2020 or early 2021".
