So I've got this series of gen-u-ine, bona fide adventure type modules that I'd like to make available to the general public, gratis. The first I posted here and emailed out to folks who asked for a copy. But I've got a few more and would like to put them somewhere where they are likely to see...

Children. The creepier the better. They are supposed to be these innocent, naive and trusting creatures. So the contrast that arises from turning them into vicious beady eyed little things that want to strip off your skin and suck the marrow from your bones, and are cunning enough to get away...

Which module? Doesn't matter to me. Only thing I ask is for it to be animated in the Erol Otus style.

All right, since no one else is biting... I think part of the charm of this campaign is going to stem from the cultures the PCs will encounter. You've got the Blue quest giving them a nice swashbuckling Arabian Nights story arc in a civilized, political and more or less refined setting. We're...

Gotta go with the favored climate for each of these guys. You'll need to venture through steaming lava tube caverns to get the red, dank and dim swamps to get the black, and endless dunes of sand to get the blue. Which is a good thing. It allows you to generate that Indiana...

This room is approximately 32.5 feet long and 46.2 feet wide. It is filled with an oddly assorted collection of sundries like crates and barrels and other broken things. A large broken stone fireplace is on one side of the room, the floor of it is covered with a thick layer of ash that has...

Seems to me that one of the things that dwarves fighting on their home turf have in thier favor is the ability to choose the time and place of battle. By moving in through the back door the PCs have already ruined that strategy. I would imagine the dwarves would make it a point to force...

Think MiB. The populace is sedate and content because they don't realize they are always a few days away from the Red Necromancer's Undead Hordes, or that the Brotherhood of the Damned is one virgin away from summoning the Demon-King Xur-Kol-Dan, or that there's a Karellian Death Ray pointed at...

The Pitch MiB meets D&D. A small but wealthy secret organization is all that stands between Civilization and Certain Doom. What do the players do? Civilization is in the midst of a Golden Age; the church and government are strong and trusted, the borders are secure, and the necessities of...

I jumped into this thinking I'd self publish whatever I wrote. But it turns out, while I like the writing and design, I'm not so big on the publishing part. Rather than muck about with the DBAs and the financial risks and whatnot I figured I'd just toss a few things out into the ether and see...

I've been toying with the idea of becoming a small press publisher and got around to writing up a couple of short modules. Then I burned out, decided it was too much work for me (right now), and owund up with a nice little adventure gathering virtual dust on my hard drive. I put too much work...

I don't understand. It's a great module because it is (A) old-school and (B) it forces players to think outside of the D&D box. There's a disconnect there - how can it be both?

The problem seems to be that you can't find exactly what you're looking for in a printed and published form. Which means you're going to have to just resign yourself to doing some rules tinkering. By all means, keeping looking for your own private holy grail (lord knows I've got two or three...

Maybe it isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I don't see why it couldn't be if you tweaked it a bit. It sounds to me like you want C&C with a few of the more wonky bits simplified. So simplify them. If I ever get around to running C&C my first action will be to house rule in the D&D...

Again, it isn't Philly, but you can take the R5-Doylestown to the end of the line (Doylestown, natch) and get off aabout 4 blocks from Cyborg One. It's a comic shop mainly, but it has a fairly good stack of RPG stuff. Just get off and head north on 611. It's in the heart of the town so it's...

The Gemstone Golem is just a myth. Everyone knows such a thing never truly existed. Sure, the sages point to passages from ancient texts describing the legendary exploits that revolved around these most wondrous of constructs. Occasionally one hears stories about the gruesome fates of those...

Hokay, basic geology primer here. I'm going to hand wave some discrepancies between your map and the real world. This is fantasy so anything goes, right? That said, look at the little red arrows you've got on your map. Where ever they point right to each other over a land mass you'll have...

If you go this route you can get away with pulling a huge switcheroo. You have the rogue discover a short cut to the center of the dungeon - first 'trap' they encounter can blast the party to the center of the dungeon and a huge fight with the prisoner. After a huge and epic battle they secure...

There are ways... Have the guardian be trapped here until 'slain' at which point the guardian returns to its plane of origin or nearest parallel dimension. The guardian is a creature of honor who recognizes why this combat must be fought. It's nothing personal. You know it and I know it...

Tallow's Deep (Don't have the issue handy) PCs have to enter the local mine and clear out invading goblins. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast, the whole dungeon is basically one big trap filled outpost. Cautious and thinking parties can beat it without too much trouble, but charge in and...
