How Many Adventures Can We Expect...?

[Grossout]

Looking back at all of the 3E adventures - there really just aren't very many of them. These were pulled off the Wizards site, and while it does seem to be missing a few (Fantastic Locations, Expeditions), for the most part, these are all the adventures for D&D 3E. I included Forgotten Realms (since they are relatively easy to modify with "regular D&D", but did not include Ebberron (since I don't know much about it). That's only about 25 adventures, or 3/year. Not much. Now, I didn't game during 3E - I'm looking forward to 4E, but I'm almost positive I'd rely heavily on published adventures to do so. 3/year doesn't seem like enough. Anyone know if Wizards is planning more adventures? They mentioned something about older adventures making an appearance somehow (probably through insider - my guess), and that does sound awesome, but I hope they keep cranking new ones out in 4E. I just have a bad feeling that they'll put together the first adventure path (H1-H3, P1-P3, E1-E3), then abandon the line for years (as shown below).

Doesn't count free adventures on the old web site.

Doesn't count Dungeon. Including free e-adventures now.

Doesn't count third party.

Seems to be missing a few Fantastic Locations.

Me? I'm hoping we get some classics done up quick. I'm sure that the new advnetures will showcase how the new game plays, but if this makes sense, I want to see how it plays with the classics.

Given the hullabaloo about classic settings now being available to all settings, I would certainly like to see them show us some of the classics, reinterpreted under 4E as well.

The Keep on the Borderlands, Tomb of Horrors and Castle Greyhawk all seem likely (the latter since that was the explicit reason for the SPOILER being done to the castle at the Expedition module).

To play the devil's advocate...


The adaptations, because of the new rules and their designs and all that, may feels different than what the buyers remembered and all that... somes may be disapointed. Perhaps makeing at first, and to help the designers in warming up, original adventures? perhaps future classics will come...

I see what you're saying - if I need a quick adventure there are a ton of places to find them, but I'm just hoping for a lot of official, physical WOTC adventures. But I'm kinda crazy about them, I know that. At one point, I owned EVERY Basic D&D adventure (well, minus The Jade Hare). Had to sell my collection though - for funding reasons. Now that I'm back on my feet, I can easily see myself turning into a module fiend again!

Really, the one classic dungeon WotC seems to be setting up for, Setting-wise , is The Temple of Elemental Evil.

Looks around.

Dungeon was official, physical WOTC adventures. And I know I ran dozens of 'em, probably hundreds if I started counting 1st and 2nd ed adventures.

But I see what you mean.

Third party all the way for me. Go to Wizards for the rule books, Goodman Games & Paizo for the adventures.
