We posted on April, 2020 the Goodman Games official annonncement about the sixth installment in the Original Adventures Reincarnated series and the second one devoted to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons first edition: the famed Temple of Elemental Evil! Now Goodman Games has sent an update about the development of the slipcase set:
"In April of last year we announced that Goodman Games would be adding legendary adventure module The Temple of Elemental Evil to our Original Adventures Reincarnated line. Well, we thought it was time to update you on the progress of what is proving to be an absolutely huge book.
Two books in fact! Now that all of the writing, editing, and art is done, we’re in the layout stage of this massive undertaking, which upon release will take up an estimated 700-800 pages. That will be two hardback volumes in a custom slipcase priced at $99.99, estimated for an August 2021 release.
These volumes reprint the original material from the published module T1-4: The Temple of Elemental Evil, as well as the original version of T1: The Village of Hommlet. Created by Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer, The Temple of Elemental Evil has long been regarded as one of the greatest adventures in TSR’s publishing history. And we are proud to bring this module to a new audience.
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.
We anticipate OAR #6 The Temple of Elemental Evil will be ready for the printer within the next 4-6 weeks, and that stage is when we will start accepting pre-orders. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more information and additional previews once this beast is at the printer!".
