{{oldschool}}{{dnd-stub}} '''The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan''' is the first in the C series, for Competition or maybe Convention. Harold Johnson and Jeff Leason composed this in 1979, for fifth-to-seventh level [[AD&D]] players at the Origins Expo, as "Lost Tamoachan: The Hidden Shrine of Lubaatum". [[TSR]] republished it in 1980 with that "C1" code and simplifying the name. The party explores a jungle, with a step-pyramid in it. We're looking at central-Mesoamerican-influenced [[Maya]] ruins: like Yax Mutal / "Tikal" after Spear Thrower Owl took it over, or maybe postclassic Chichen Itza. It got lots of traps showing much influence from old-school treasure-hunting pulp. Note: all this, before ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' in 1981. C1 got a second update in that ''Raiders'' year which firmly placed this as a [[Greyhawk]] affair, in the Amedio. The people who built all this are the Olmans. This version has been deemed a classic, despite (what reviewers dinged as) a counterintuitive sorting of chambers. It was then updated a THIRD time for the [[Savage Tide]] adventure path. "The Sea Wyvern's Wake", ''Dungeon'' #141 (December 2006). And once more, 2017, in 5e ''[[Tales from the Yawning Portal]]''. [[Category: Modules]] [[Category: Greyhawk]]
