Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Adventure Pack explained

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Adventure Pack is an adventure published by TSR in 1984 for the action-adventure role-playing game The Adventures of Indiana Jones Role-Playing Game, itself based on the Indiana Jones movie franchise.

Description

This role-playing adventure recreates the events of the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Players are expected to use pre-generated characters that are based on the characters from the movie.[1]

Publication history

The Indiana Jones role-playing game did not sell well, and TSR eventually ceased publication and allowed the license to expire. In 1994, West End Games acquired the rights to publish their own version of a role-playing game, The World of Indiana Jones.

Reception

In Issue 22 of Imagine, Paul Mason reviewed the first two adventures in the series, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Adventure Pack and Raiders of the Lost Ark Adventure Pack, and felt the adventures should have branched out away from the movie storylines, saying, "My major gripe is that they both stick too closely to the films apart from the odd occasion here and there, the modules attempt to steer the characters into replaying the exact events of the films. Given that anyone playing In these scenarios has almost certainly seen the films, I'd anticipate the game being somewhat spoiled by such rigid adherence to the films' plots."[4]
