The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan through the eyes of a video game designer and creative director! This classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Dungeons & Dragons adventure is a must have. Never played Tamoachan in D&D? Let me show you why it's awesome.

I still play `1e ad&D myself and still feel it's the best version of the game. Love your videos and you should have a lot more subs and viewers, your content is sterling !

I added images carved into the wall at one point of the ship from Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and several of the robots from the ship. I couldn't resist the alien/Aztec link and I always liked intertwining things to give a more robust feel to my world.

Awesome. I love Tamochan, I ran it as Pathfinder 2E for my wife last Septembet and just changed all the enemies. I've even ran it as a Traveller adventure. It's the epitome of scary Meso American tomb.

I've been reading the module for an upcoming review on my blog, and I remembered your videos on it. I thought it was high time to revisit them. They are so very inspiring. You are right in that there is a lot to mine from that supposed thin Greyhawk Folio. There's more there than meets the eye, with bits of information scattered throughout its pages. Having a good, searchable, PDF is a godsend!

Thanks for discussing the C1 Mod. I should admit that I never thought highly of the C1 Mod when I reviewed it on my channel. In order to add meaning and "spice it up", I thought it would be good idea to add a brief (non-lethal) encounter with Zotzilaha early in the Adventure.

The old classic modules often have great opportunities for the DM's ideas and encourage it. Modern day content is very linear and controlled. Back when TSR published the old modules there was enough information for you to run things, but at the same time, room for you to integrate into your own world!

@@Classic_DM in my opinion, TSR gave too little information, and should have detailed the rooms/areas more. I attribute this to lazy writing. For instance "You are in a library full of books..." OK, what books can be found? Can the PCs find maps of the dungeon they are in? Can they find a journal of the "Final Boss" (or other denizens)? etc. But, I do agree that being too detailed is not good either. After all, DMs are human too, and cannot be expected to hold too much info/data in their brains.

@@RPGmodsFan there is a certain wisdom and knowledge that is needed to know when you have gone too far and did too much. The 1e ad&d mindset was more along the lines of just give enough and let the dm flesh it out further. Or to put it more indirectly Coco Chanel the most elegant and fashionable woman in the world said this about dressing with accessories. When you are ready to go out stand in front of a mirror and remove at least one thing. Then go out. Less is more in some cases. Compare modern modules with hundreds of pages, then compare the size and scope of the adventure contained therein.if you tried to run this module in 5e it would take 400 pages. The brevity of 1e is a godsend.

OK, so an increasingly corrupt clergy being found to no longer able to cast high level cleric spells due to their heresy is a freaking cool as heck story.

Spectacular review. Love it. I agree. If the PCs begin after tumbling into the 1st room, they are trapped and the adventure becomes a desperate race for freedom, the cost of failure: their lives. Nothing motivates a party like that. Thanks for sharing. Have you though about giving D3 or I1 (Dwellers of the Forbidden City) this sort of detailed analysis?

Someone needs to run a D&D game over CB radio with truckers. Have an automatic dice roller so no one crashes.

Oh man... I've only been dming continuously for about a year and a half, and I was so excited to run Tamoachan when I got the Tales from the Yawning Portal.. but man.. that one is dense.. and feels like it's above my capabilities so I've pretty much put it on the list of adventures I'll get around to eventually. Especially as most of my player experience is from Call of Cthulhu or d&d games where dungeon crawls didn't happen.

I've just started my own channel. I'm turning old modules into dramatizations and found your channel while looking for module reviews to listen to at work. I'm enjoying your work and will definitely be visiting the lost shrine on my own channel. Any other modules you might suggest?

Like a radio show? Or visual oriented + voice acting? Or just film-making/animated. In my opinion the modules with strong theming are the best ones. Here are my all time to favorites in no particular order. G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief G2 The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl G3 The Hall of the Fire Giant King D3 The Vault of the Drow (skip D1, and D2 they are weak) S1 Tomb of Horrors S2 White Plume Mountain C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan C2 The Ghost Tower of Inverness I3 Pharaoh I4 Oasis of the White Palm L5 Lost Tomb of Martek

@@Classic_DM Its just audio for now. I might eventually do video as well but for now I'm still learning how to use all the different programs. I love the G series and will probably do that one eventually. I just finished the script for part 1 of my second episode. It's Assault on Eddistone Point, a five or six page module from Dungeon magazine and It looks like the two parts together will be about an hour long recording. Doing the whole G series would be epic and is definitely going on my list of goals. Got any suggestions for awful modules? The other thing I'd like to do is maybe redeem a few of the infamously bad works with good writing and storytelling.
