Yes. Temple of the Frog - contrary to the reviewer's opinion - is a perfectly usable location based adventure with some changes (there are a few 40x40 barrack rooms with 150+ soldiers, and the lower dungeon level needs expansion), and has a cool vibe. Granted, only if you like SF-fantasy hybrids, lasers and Giant Frogs. Which I do. The rest is usable in most Original/Basic D&D campaigns. For some, the lack of detail is a feature.
