        Yep I can't think of any new ones that haven't already been repeated in the RPG discussion threads.

        Temple of Elemental Evil is one I'm really looking forward to. Its 3e D&D, which should make it appeal to a wide audience, and its written by people who made the Fallouts and Arcanum so interesting. Its on a much bigger budget than Arcanum, so the graphics should rock too

            Morrowind is a great game when it works.

              morrowind had another big expansion pack come out recently i think, big storyline with werewolves or something.

              Knights of the Old Republic should be out in a couple months as well, and there's always Lionheart to look forward to as well.

                I've lost more characters to that temple than to anything else combined.

                  Can you give me the gist of the plot? The write up I saw in PC Gamer got me interested.

                    The good think about ToEE is that Troika are going one step further with the alternate options gaming.

                    Depending on your broad alignment (you can't have opposites in the party) you actually start in a different location and have a different objective. The evil characters may actually coming to seek power by siding with the Evil Temple, not destroy it.

                      For which game? ToEE? But you linked to that game in the first place .

                        Actually, I played the module Return to the Temple of Elemental evil. Still means I lost more than a handful of characters to the Temple of Elemental evil. Surely though, given the chance to fight it on my own terms (i.e. after having done every possible side quest to level up extremely much with a handpicked party), the temple will be no match for my crack team of halfling commandoes.

                          EXCELLENT!!!! I DM'ed the PnP version several times in my younger days. It is one of my most favorites PnP modules.

                          ACK!

                            This module allowed me to generate at least one character per week due to its deadliness, and our party's occassional incompetence.

                            Then there were the random encounters with monsters not in the module while we were walking around. Though I must say I liked the fight with the white dragon. It breathed and I took 13, I breathed back, and it took 68. Then it demonstrated its superiority in melee, but we killed it eventually.

                              Out of curiosity are there any RPGs similar to the old Masque of the Red Death\Living Death d20 campaign.

                              Description: It's the 1890s, but there's magic in the world. Not a lot of it, just mostly that some superstitions are true, reading tarot cards is a good and reliable way to predict the future, spell casters have AD&D spells but watered down and high level casters are very rare. The problem is that there's a being called the Red Death that corrupts all who use magic. The more potent the magic, the more likely to come under his control. Obviously not everyone succumbs, but most do. You are part of a secret organization whose goal is to defeat the Red Death. So it's kind of a horror in Victorian England campaign.

                              I play in the pen and paper Living Death campaign, but I was wondering if any computer games are similar to that.
