The adventurers travel through Hommlet and are drawn into a web of conspiracy and deception. Greg takes a moment to thank the listeners for sticking around all year long! Once far from any important activity, it became embroiled in the struggle between gods and demons off the Temple of Elemental Evil arose but a few leagues away.
The inhabitants of the village, from their villagw to their personalities, are Gygax at his mellifluent best: Hommlet is in the game. There are a lot of reasons why this is so, but I think, more than anything, what I like most about it is that it has an ominous, brooding character to it that haunts my imagination. Gygax began writing T2 soon after the publication of T1, but often stopped to work on other products, such as The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth Gygax Likewise, the pretty squabbles of the various villagers over past slights, the rivalry between the followers of St.
There are a lot of reasons why this is so, but I think, more than anything, what I like most about it is that it has an ominous, brooding character to it that haunts my imagination.

Posted by James Maliszewski at I came up with an adventure hook of a murder on the road in to town. But more importantly is the town. It was later reprinted with the full-color cover that had become standard for TSR a few years later. Adventure Origins. At the time, Gygax was purposefully merging his profession with his advocation - creating a new campaign to test out ideas about outdoor terrain and random dungeons that he later planned to publish.
A Secret Cover. A Few Firsts. Most other adventures using this formula would use a town, just like Gygax did, whether it be Orlane, Restenford, or some other facsimile. T1 was also Gygax's first low -level adventure, for 1st-level characters. Expanding Greyhawk. The depiction of Hommlet marks the first in-depth description of any part of the world of Greyhawk.
It also offers up the first serious depiction of a Greyhawk god: St. Cuthbert, who has a detailed church in Hommlet. Cuthbert had been mentioned a few times previously, in Eldritch Wizardry and as "St. Cuthburt" in The Dragon 2 August The Adventure Continues.

Gygax started talking about T2 being delayed as early as The Dragon 35 March In fact, it would take another five years for the adventure to actually appear! As such, it was a matched pair with Q1: "Queen of the Demonweb Pits" , the module intended to complete the DGQ series though that one only got delayed for two years.
Future History. Hommlet was eventually rereleased as part of the "mega-module" T The Temple of Elemental Evil It was much later revised not once, but twice for 4e, first for sanctioned RPGA play without the village!
