I knew about the new elemental evil line. But since I didn't live the first and second ed era and converting this adventure to 3rd ed or pathfinder will take lot of works, 5th ed serves well to run this gem I have in my library since years. It's just seems an adventure that I 'have to' run. It's something historical for gamers. I want to taste it, and share that experience with some friends.Ill certainly use adventurer's Handbook to improve my experience.thanks.
1-2 years seems too much. I know it's a live dungeon that is what call me the most. I'll figure out how to run it in one year. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with me. I ran it during the D&D Next playtest and had no problems with conversion. You will want to tone down the treasure quite a bit as the Temple is pretty rich with gold and gems and such and 5E assumes a much lower rate of treasure gain. The moathouse will also be a bit tough for 1st level characters unless you have a decent size party.
I second the idea of making it live through the NPCs. There are a lot of intriguing subplots and such to play with via the NPCs if you want to go that route.My group spent about 4 months or so in the Temple, but we also skipped the entire 2nd and 3rd levels and most of the 4th due to the machinations of NPC villains. As others have said, you'll want to tweak a few things.
I'd leave the moathouse alone and prep your players to have a 'spare character or two' and let it really shine as a death trap. Gives them the right attitude to approach the main temple (cautiously, although once they have a few levels its not so bad).If I were running it now, I'd probably turn the various temples into a 'delve' (borrowing a 4E term) of 3-4 encounters each. On the fly, this simply means combining rooms into a larger encounter such as 1) water temple 2) priest area 3) guards area and treat each of those a single encounter.Other tweaks: Level 3 (basically the lower half, non-zuggtmoy portion) I'd let player move rather freely, avoiding encounters and play up it's ruined nature a bit more. I'd keep the undead encounters and include work gangs of humanoids 'clearing' an area of undead or repairing a room, etc kind of vibe. Remove the extraneous encounters or make them all mostly avoidable.Level 4: Greater Temple: It's best played as one giant encounter in the Main Temple and the other side stuff (gates to nodes) as something to do later, so this can be foreshortened.Main Temple (surface area).
I keep the grand evilness in heavy descriptions, but I usually re-populate with undead and/or critters. I've never liked the humanoids being in there.
The bandits in the tower are ok. Play up its ruined state and the sense of 'the armies killed people, sealed and fled.everything is like was 30 years ago' with banners of good mixed with the war banners of evil, broken weapons, skeletal bodies littering the floors, chopped up pews, etc. On more than one running I've included a spectral 'ghosts' (not MM monsters.more like a visual) of elves fighting cultists etc. It's a haunted place, a cursed place, and it should give the PCs the willies. Maybe use the fear/terror rules in the DMG for it.Falrinth: He's the evil wizard on level 3 ( I think).
I like to use him as a 'patron' of sorts.he meets the PCs in Nulb. Most PCs won't trust him, he is clearly not one of the 'good guys', but he does help them with intel. Basically, he wants the PCs to get the various gems from the nodes to power the Orb of Golden Death, he doesn't say that, of course (and barely knows what he wants himself, its the orbs influence really).
I have found his more direct involvement makes it easier for PCs to finally get the orb and move forward, otherwise, in a fast forward and hurried approach to ToEE it can easily be missed (which is what it sounds like you want to do). 1E was much more keen on hiding things a little too well. I approached it differently (the cool thing about these old adventures is that you can take multiple approaches) - I played it as an active fortress with the various elemental temple leaders in near open warfare with each other, vying to gain the approval of Hedrack and Zuggtmoy. Active patrols, PCs arriving mid-battle between two opposing forces, and plenty of opportunity to manipulate one side against another.
Also an emphasis on - once the in-fighting stops and the temple is unified, they will be a major threat to the surrounding area. I knew about the new elemental evil line. But since I didn't live the first and second ed era and converting this adventure to 3rd ed or pathfinder will take lot of works, 5th ed serves well to run this gem I have in my library since years.

The sale of the Brighton property of the former archbishop's residences and surrounding land has raised the $90 million dollars needed to do so. Legend hand of god update.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with me. Given bounded accuracy, I think you will have much less problems converting ToEE to 5e than you would be in 3e and 4e.For monsters, just use the 5e version of them straight out of the Monster Manual when it exists. It shouldn't matter if the same monster is a few levels lower or higher than in the original AD&D.For non-combat challenges, use the guidelines in Basic (or DMG) to pick a reasonable DC. But I wouldn't worry much about this either, because there are so many ways to proceed in the adventure, that an unbeatable obstacle or monster shouldn't make the adventure stuck.
I wouldn't worry about too much treasure. Treasure means nothing if you can't convert it into magic equipment, spellcasting services, or mercenaries.Just put a little bit more realism into the campaign: the nearest villages of Hommlet and Nulb are where you can go shopping within the day. How much can they have on sale? Just don't foolishly offer unlimited purchases.Once the PCs can't spend too much in too short time, you'll also get rid of behaviours like looting every single penny, going back and forth every 2 encounters to carry the loot, or pretending you are sneaking around a dungeon with 300k of gold coins and an elven +1 grandpiano in your backpack. For the moathouse and certain highly-guarded areas of the ToEE, consider allowing something like 0th level henchmen (1d8 hp, +4 attack, 1d8 damage) and some adept healers (1d6 hp, 1d8+2 healing, twice each) to accompany the party; hand them out to players and have them keep track.
The original was pretty lethal even in troupe-style play, and you may need to emulate some aspects of it. I, myself, would not take the tack of watering down the monsters; the lethality is the real charm of the original.
