The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (C1)
Similar to the classic Tomb of Horrors module¸ Tamoachan has a seperate book of art by classic TSR artists such as Erol Otus¸ Jeff Dee¸ Darlene¸ and others. Nice.
The Monochrome is the 1980 version. The color cover version -- essentially identical inside -- was released in 1982. Theres also an ultra-rare 1st edition called Lost Tamoachan (1979)¸ with less than 500 copies released.
This module was originally used for the Official ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS tournament at Origins 79¸ and is the first in another new series of modules from TSR¸ the COMPETITION SERIES. This module contains a challenging setting as well as an original scoring system and an assortment of pre-rolled characters for adventuring. The module may thus be used for private competition among players¸ or as a seperate¸ non-scored adventure! Also included herein are background information¸ a large-scale referees map¸ referees notes¸ and new monsters and descriptions for an added taste of excitement.
This module is meant to stand on its own¸ and includes areas on the map where Dungeon Masters may add their own levels.
