[edit] Publication history
The module was published by Wizards of the Coast in 2001 for the 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons rules.[1][2] It was written by Monte Cook, and is a sequel to module T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil (TSR, 1985). It features cover art by Brom and interior art by David Roach.[1]
[edit] Reception
Reviewer Alan Kohler stated that "the material is well written and consistent with the D&D rules" but that he doesn't consider this to be Monte Cook's best adventure.[1] Furthermore, he said that the adventure "involves mostly a series of interconnected dungeon crawls" and that "the players' motivations are weak" but that "it is still an immense adventure with tons of usable material, with a sort of brooding Masks of Nyarlothotep feel to it".[1]
Matthew Pook, in his review, stated that one problem with the adventure "may be in getting the party to the starting point ... to begin the campaign".[2] He stated that the adventure "is a large and detailed dungeon bash" and it "resemble[s] the onionskin model exemplified by many of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu campaign packs".[2]
Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil was ranked the 8th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, on the 30th anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons game.[3]
Dungeon Master for Dummies lists Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil as one of the ten best 3rd edition adventures.[4]
