Thanks PS I will not be doing return to temple since my group has already played it including me.

However, even back then the players would have been too powerful by the time they took on the Slavelords. If your team has already a 12th level average, go for Queen of the Spiders. Should be fun for the players to kick Giants around before ending up in the Underdark. You'll need to raise most of the NPC levels though... OR You could put them through City of Skulls or Vecna Lives! . Both are 2E but easy to secure in pdf. Futhermore, they are easy enough to convert.

Finally, lead them to Maure Castle. . . . Not only can they attempt the castle itself, but determining that there are similar pieces to recover may lead to other dungeons (can place one in White Plume Mountain, Tomb of Horrors, etc). It would give the group a reason to go all over the Flanness. Just a thought. . .

Based on character levels, S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun are a good follow-up. I think the T1-4 to A1-4 connection added in the 'supermodules' is pretty spurious.

#7 Mortepierre Jul 09, 2004 19:17:25	Norkers were updated to 3.0E in the LGJ issue #3. I wonder if they are in the Tome of Horror though ..
#8 falconer Jul 16, 2004 15:54:40	This was my plan, and indeed, it is a logical order (S4 and WG4 rather than A1-4 to bridge T1-4 and GDQ): B2 The Keep on the Borderlands T1 [WG1] The Village of Hommlet T1-4 [WG2] The Temple of Elemental Evil S4 [WG3] The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun G1-2-3 Against the Giants D1-2 Descent Into the Depths of the Earth D3 Vault of the Drow Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits However, I personally found my party at the end of T1-4 to be so powerful (partly because it is so large, partly because they have so much magical protection and items) and (perhaps most importantly) smart, that I went straight on to G1-2-3 in order to hopefully provide a true challenge. They are weaker in levels than the tournament characters, but they are doing okay. And if they start to find it too tough, they can retreat and save it for some other day. Just goes to show you, you have to be flexible. They bulled through S2 White Plume Mountain with no casualties in two sessions. There's no way A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity would have been a sufficient challenge in my case.

#10 Greyson Jul 18, 2004 13:28:19	Norkers are also in Dungeon/Polyhedron #98 (May 2003). I do not imagine there is much difference between a v.3.0 Norker and a v.3.5 Norker.
#11 Medriev Aug 11, 2004 16:45:17	Having just run through the original ToEE as a solo game that I used to create a 21 chapter campaign journal story, the PCs finish up between 9th and 12th level purely due to the higher level encounters in 3E/3.5E. Personally, I would go on with the "classic" campaign by running A1-4 Scourge of the Slavelords and scaling it according to current party level. One of the (many) beauties of 3/3.5E IMHO is the ability to scale encounters so easily. I would anticipate the PCs ending up about 16th to 18th level by the end and ready to take on the hoards of giants in Queen of the Spiders.
