==Green Module... Okay I guess== [[File:Ubues.jpg|thumb|The ''other'' art that got the orange version turned into a collector's item.]] TSR's suits took one look at the end-product and STOPPED THE PRESSES. OH NOES DEMONS! OH NOES SCANTILY CLAD BOOBIES! [[Frank Mentzer]] has observed that other modules were already out with much worse. [Tho', the altar-girl scene in 1976's ''Eldritch Wizardry'' aside, not in juxtaposition, and not ''lately''. And... well, Mentzer.] Tom Moldvay reissued a near-completely different version immediately after, with a dark green cover. Wells still got co-credit for the work. As for the differences, besides the artwork: most of Wells' new monsters got buhleeted. There were a few survivors: the archer bush, the [[decapus]]. The "Jupiter Blood Sucker" got remade as the [[Vampire Rose]]; the Protectors, de-statted, got through as plot-device. The poltergeist and the [[ghost]], not really Wells' in the first place, would be delayed for the Companion Set's "Haunt". The vacant spots in the text got filled in or killed off, too. The whole wilderness section? gone. Much of the plot also got redone: Argenta is still alive, and needs rescuing. Also My Lady's Heart turns out to be an evil artifact, the Eye of Arik; this is what has blighted the land. Whatever land that might be. In the end, B3 did notch up a win for TSR. Jim Bambra at [[White Dwarf]] liked the Moldvay version, suggesting it belonged in the Basic Set instead of B1 or B2.
