Elemental Player Options and Map Pack from Wizards of the Coast
January 24, 2012 by brennon
With D&D-Next as its affectionately called on the internet becoming the main focus for Wizards of the Coast, its nice to see them still supporting the current Edition of the game with some new products.
Heroes of the Elemental Chaos gets players more in tune with the elemental planes, while also unlocking new classes like the Elementalist and Sha'ir to level up into Paragon and beyond.
The Haunted Temples map pack on the other hand is a set of 3 large gaming maps in full colour. Each details different temple locations and being double sided have a variety of uses. Saves on a lot of fiddling around with tiles or even drawing them out by hand.
Still got the Dungeons & Dragons bug?

I do like the maps they chuck in these things, the ones I’ve seen from the starter adventures are lovely looking things, but I do wonder after the announcement of fifth edition how practical it is to keep chucking this stuff out there, will anyone really be interested?
I would think a lot of gaming groups will spend the next 12 months winding down big campaigns ready for the new version, not adding to them.
While that’s true of the book, I suppose the map packs have endless replay uses regardless of the campaign or edition – unless WotC do something crazy with layouts etc.
