New Module

Module Name

by Your Name Here

Special thanks to ...

"Module Name" is a short D & D adventure designed for four 11th level characters. PCs who survive the adventure should earn enough experience points (XP) to gain 1 level. Although originally designed to be played in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, it can easily be modified to be played in any campaign setting. The adventure can easily adapted for stronger or weaker PCs by increasing or decreasing the number and power of the opponents as noted in the "Scaling the Adventure" sidebar.

Adventure Background

In the adventure background, you should provide the DM with a clear, brief summary of events leading up to the adventure including any pertinent historical details and villainous machinations.

About the villain: The villain of this module is a power-mad tyrant who craves domination over all the land. The villain is able to accomplish this by capturing, kidnapping and torturing others to extract their pain, soul or sanity which is then sold.

Adventure Synopsis

In the adventure synopsis, you should provide a clear, concise summary of the whole adventure for the DM including a "road map" or timeline that tells the DM how the adventure should play out. Outline surprises and plot twists here, not just in the encounters text below. Optionally, this can include a description of the adventuring environment, as well as special rules or considerations that the players or DM must make.

Adventure Hooks

In the adventure hooks section, help DMs lead the PCs into the actual adventure. Include three or more potential avenues for injecting PCs into the module. At least one motive should be common, such as hunting for treasure or fighting evil creatures for pay. Other motives can exploit potential alignments, classes, races and/or societal upbringing of players. This section should also contain rumors, background information for players, and related information. Other potential elements include statistics for the nearest town, time of year or seasonal constraints. This is also an excellent place to include Difficulty Class (DC) tables for Gather Information or other relevant Skill Checks that could be performed at any time during the adventure.
Campaign Quest: A realm to the north where resides a race of being that can appear and disappear at will. Those who have gone to seek out the source of their power have never been seen again.

Common Features

In the common features section, provide information that is common throughout the adventure like ceiling height, illumination, door types, and wandering creatures. This is also an excellent place to put any information that can be obtained through skills like Gather Information and Bardic Knowledge checks.

Concluding the Adventure

In the concluding the adventure section, you should describe the possible consequences resulting from the adventurers success or failure, including rewards, punishments, spin-off adventures for later gaming sessions. Some of the consequences should be roleplayed to provide a sense of closure -- include some ideas here to help the DM do this easily. If the PCs succeeded at their task, the DM should have the tools necessary to help the players feel that they have accomplished something. It never hurts to provide read-aloud text to get the ending scene started.

Appendix 4

Creature Groups

Summarized below are some suggested creature groups for this module. I have always found that grouping creatures together and giving them an objective goes a long way to fleshing-out a module. Ultimately, you have to explain why these creatures are working together, what they are trying to do, and how each group interacts with the other groups. I usually limit these groups to 3 at the most -- I have found that any more groups than that is too confusing for the players.

In the table below, give a short 2-3 word description of the relationship between the groups.

Group 1, Group Name: Behir; Giant, Cloud

Group 2, Group Name: Shield Guardian; Spectre

Group 3, Group Name: Mohrg; Roc

Appendix 5

How to Use This Module Framework

1. If any of the monsters in this framework are (Advanced), follow the {advancement instructions in brackets} in Appendix 1 to update any statistics that could not be updated automatically. Most updates for advancement will already be made, except for Attack Bonus per attack, Damage per attack, Skill Choices (if any), and Feat Choices (if any). These will need to be updated manually. After making the changes, delete the instruction text in {brackets}.

2. Go through each introduction section, and replace the directions given with your own Adventure Background, Adventure Synopsis, and Adventure Hooks

3. If there are Common Features that can be found thorughout the entire module, describe them in the Common Features section. This is a good place to put Information Available via Gather Information or Bardic Knowledge checks.

4. For each Location (usually lettered), give the location a name, and a description under the Introduction Section for each location. A sample location idea is provided. If there are common features that can be found throughout the location, describe them here.

5. For each Area (usually numbered), create read-aloud text in the Area Initial Description text box. Remember to give descriptions for all 5(+?) of the characters senses.

6. In the paragraph under the read-aloud text, simply follow and replace the description instructions. If the area includes a creature encounter, provide background for why the creature is there, what it is doing, how it relates to other creatures, etc...

7. For each Object type in the area, provide an Object description paragraph and an Object Stat Block.

8. For the Important Information, Obstacles, and Solutions (moon, lock, key symbols), follow and replace the instructions with any imporant information that the characters should be provided with, descriptions of obstacles, and solutions to obstacles.

9. For the Creature Tactics, Treasure, and Development sections; follow and replace the instructions with complete descriptions of creature tactics, treasure and how defeating, negotiating with or not defeating the creature will effect the module or other encounters.

10.Repeat steps 4 through 9 for each Location, Area, Object and Creature.

11.Describe the relationships between Creature Groups in Appendix 4. If one type of creature appears in more than 1 group, you could describe the two groups as originating from different tribes or sub-species (ie. if there are Orcs in both group 1 and group 3, perhaps the Orcs in group 1 are in a different tribe than those in group 3).

12.Give your module a name and replace the Module Name text.

13.Replace the by Your Name Here text with your name.

14.Give thanks to those who helped you, or to anyone whose electronic tools you used -- mentioning that this module was built using the 3ednd.com Module Framework Generator would be awfully nice :-)

15.Delete Appendix 5.
