![]() He recognized this by creating a Design department, but he wasn't willing to turn the Temple over to them - so it sat and waited (not unlike the Temple in the adventure itself). From 1979 onward, he was increasingly doing business development and management, leaving him less room for creativity. The other problem was Gygax's role at TSR. Now, Gygax had to both recreate the Temple and do it at a level of quality that matched its already well-regarded predecessor. Tension over this work probably increased when T1: "Village of Hommlet" received considerable critical acclaim. However, he didn't feel that the random dungeon he'd created was appropriate for a published adventure, so he thought it would have to be redone. He'd run it as his house campaign mainly to explore ideas about random dungeon generation. Part of the problem was with Gygax's design of the Temple itself. It would in fact be six years after "Hommlet" before the Temple finally appeared. Unfortunately, as early as 1980, Gygax reported that the adventure was delayed. That adventure into Hommlet's Moathouse set up an expedition to the Temple itself, and the expectation was that TSR would publish what was being called "T2: The Temple of Elemental Evil" just a short time later. The first part of this mega-adventure was published years earlier as T1: "The Village of Hommlet" (1979). T1-4: The Temple of Elemental Evil (1985), by Gary Gygax and Frank Mentzer, was published in August 1985 as part of what might have been AD&D's biggest year ever for the publication of major books.
