Temple of Elemental Evil Design Diary: Editing A Classic

The Temple of Elemental Evil Designer Diary: Editing A Classic by Tim Wadzinski Editing this monster two-volume set of old-school goodness took a long time. A really, really long time. The year 2020 is a blur for many reasons, and I can’t remember how many nights were actually spent editing the roughly 723 manuscripts (that might be a little high…) submitted by the design team.

And on this particular journey, I was not alone. Due to the scope of T1-4, we put together a team to tackle the tasks of converting all 128 pages of the original material. For my part, the process started in August 2019, a few days after GenCon, and a few months after I wrapped...
