Unfortunately, my entire Pnp Dnd collection is still in Michigan, and I will be going up to get it in August sometime. I know it was in the first 10 modules released for the DnD Basic red box set, and they all 10 were re-released as a paperback book called "in search of adventure" and the Archer-Bush and the Vampire Rose were both in the same mod in that collection.
A large part of the monsters I would put into a mod would be from the DND boxsets as well as the ADnD works, due to their obscurity.

Again, regarding the boxsets there was in the green box set a monster called a "Drolem" which resembled a dragon-bone golem.

As for the flesh golem - well, even evil wizards have to show some modesty with their creations  Flesh golems are basically like Frankenstein's creation - and HE had pants, too! |
I think the Acherai pic you did Uatu is AWESOME! also, nice remake on the website. As for the pants issue, its nice to have a flesh golem with pants... I mean even turning into a big mean green monster; the incredible hulk always had pants (go figure).

Be sure to include the Positive and Negative Material Planes (for a quick party demise?)...  |
Yeah, underwater adventures were touched on in FRUA and they pose some problems, and the same holds true with that Elemental plane; but if you can realistically figure out a way to overcome the lack of breathing it would be an awesome story.

I thought it would be nice to have a master villain as a Yuan-ti, and it would be cool to have like his left arm as a snake that could attack with a poisonous bite, but he could also hack at you with a sword one-handed (of course).
