Anything else was just chrome.
Darn freakin' right.

The Temple was mind blowingly cool, as it was one of the **first** creatively developed lairs, even if RPG is mostly ripping off other stuff (then) and derivation disguised as "role playing" (now).

Then again, as a neophyte GM, I had no (bleeping) idea how to run the adventure (without killing everyone), which was fine because everyone in my group had a copy anyway. (Same goes to all those "tournament" TSR modules...)
