Editing B4: The Lost City (section)

==Publication History==
The Lost City was written by [[Tom Moldvay]] and illustrated by Jim Holloway. It was published by TSR in 1982 as a 32-page book with an outer folder; the first printing was 3-hole punched. This module includes a cover folder with maps and a descriptive booklet with ready-made adventurers for the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Game. It also includes enough information to continue the adventure beyond level 3, using the Dungeons & Dragons Expert Game rules. This adventure was partially reprinted in the supermodule compilation B1-9 In Search of Adventure (1985), which included only the upper pyramid and was set in the [[Mystara]] campaign setting.

[[Dragon Magazine]] revisited the setting with "[[Mystara]]: Return to the Lost City" in issue #315, which basically adapted the adventure to [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]].

The module was the inspiration for a 3rd edition D&D adventure, "Masque of Dreams," which was printed in Dungeon #142. The adventure was written by B. Matthew Conklin and illustrated by Michael William Kaluta.

Zargon and the Cynidiceans received a re-interpretation in the 3.5 edition product, [[Elder Evils]], which places the temple in the default, [[Greyhawk]]-like setting, though the book also includes short sections on how to adjust it for [[Eberron]] or [[Faerun]].

Yet another reinterpretation of Cynidicea, which presents it as a region in the [[Nentir Vale]] setting of [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], can be found in the [[Dungeon Survival Handbook]].

A reprint and 5e conversion for this module was released in 2020 by [[Dungeon Crawl Classics|Goodman Games]] under the title "Original Adventures Reincarnated #4 The Lost City." In it, Goodman Games expands the module by detailing more of the Lost City as well as add in more side quests and story hooks.
