[ZGG Repost] Yet another Temple of the Frog?

[Havard]

Sheridan:
he following was just posted on Wizards of the Coast's web site under stuff coming up for February:

"On the DM side of things [on our website], you'll also find a new scenario added to the downloadable adventures . . . a revision of an old sci-fi module. There are no Barrier Peaks involved this time, but there are plenty of . . . frogs. And cyborgs. And strange temples to explore."

Shocked Confused

I don't know what else they could be referring to besides Temple of the Frog, but it seems weird that they would revamp and re-release an older module when they've already licensed it to Zeitgeist, who is supposed to be releasing their own updated print copy any time now. Anybody have any further insight on this?

Look under February and Website.

Havard:
Well, the other sci fi module I can think of is Tales of the Comet. Still, the presence of Frogs does suggest that we are talking about the Temple of the Frog.

Weird. Maybe a Greyhawk take on the Temple?

Maybe it can be used as a supplement to the ZGG module when it comes out? It should be out any day now, eh?

Update: Wizard's posted their Temple of the Frog:

HOWEVER, it's RETURN to the temple of the frog. The adventure apparently picks up decades after the original. So, looks like there isn't an overlap after all.

Confused While I welcome any freeby by the D&D company, I must confess that this module seems very lame to me. Yet, maybe one can build something on it some day.

I for my part will run the original first. Smile

Havard:

Thats great! For a free module this is good enough. I expect the ZGG version to be better, but as you say, since it is a RETURN to kind of module, they don't really overlap.

Maybe ZGG can use this to their advantage somehow?

I like how we are given a few more hints about what happens to the Temple and St Stephen in the aftermath of the two first modules...

HarleyStroh:
No worries. Smile The ZG version of the Temple dwarfs the latest Wizards installment. But it is fun to read them both, see where they are similar, and where they are radically different.

Havard:
Well, that is cool then! The more Blackmoor stuff we can get the better. I enjoyed the WotC version, but I am really looking forward to seeing the Real Thing Smile

By the way, I like the idea of a Return to module and seeing what happens after the destruction of the temple. I dont know about St. Stephen turning into a Vampire though, it just seems unneccesary, but I like the idea of him returning to the Temple to pick up the pieces and turning that into an adventure as well.

My own campaign is getting gradually more heavily involved with the Order of the Frog now, and its only a matter of time untill they find their way to the Temple. I plan on having St. Stephen flee and team up with the Afridhi along with the Ran of Ah Foo. They should have enough challenges for a while I guess Smile
