In the same way that Golarion was shown, bit by bit, in the early Pathfinder AP's? It's a strategy which has seemed to work for Paizo.

Here's the thing: if you want to run a Greyhawk game, there's a wealth of material available on the interwebs - from official PDF's to the Oerth Journal to Canonfire! and their home-brewed offerings. If the Realms are your bag, then they have more support than any other world. Want to scare...

-- A peaceful country is invaded by an Empire seeking dominion over them. Firstly by trade, then diplomacy: if those don't work, it will be good ol'fashioned subjugation to rule the land. They have legions full of soldiers, and magicians who use a strange sorcery. -- A previously unknown...

We were playing Traveller last year, and the crew were trying to set course for a Jump to get away from pursuers. The Helm and Engineering both rolled snake-eyes - more than once - and the ship was, apparently, lost in Hyperspace. The DM turned up next week with a new game, set in the modern...

How about The Vault of Larin Karr, a third-edition module from Necromancer Games (you can probably buy it as a pdf from an online store), which kicks off about fourth-level. It's a bit of a sandbox, lots of underground and overground adventures, and a plot holding things together which...

The plain fact is that the Starter Set is a low-priced tease, designed to bring in the newer player and make them want to invest in the Core books later this year. It is, to all intents and purposes, an advert you buy. It does the job and does it well. Will I use it for my group when we get...

There were a few missing iconic monsters from the 3E MM as well, which is why Necromancer kicked in with the Tome of Horrors in the first place. I haven't read L&L yet - firewalls <sighs> - but if there will be more monsters in the MM, it's all to the good.

Half-Elf Bard, using the point-buy system, adding the Guild Thief Background, and using bought equipment to taste. Luckily, bards get no spells at first level, so I didn't have to worry about them. Took 21 minutes to bottom out, and I was happy with it. I was writing things down longhand...

I ran the following recently, it might work for your party. DCC 28 Into the Wilds - fairly low level magic, can easily be converted to icy theme DCC 57 Wyvern Mountain - 4E, but conversion notes by me for 3.5E can be found on the Goodman Forums here. There is plenty of ice and cold on this...

In my collection somewhere, I have a copy of the Mongoose book The Slayer's Guide to Dragons, co-authored by Gary Gygax. That has some considerations for half-breed dragons, which could be ported over to PF as well. There's also a scenario in the back which has such a beast (and scared the...

Actually, there was 1 Greyhawk book for 3e. Plus all the Living Greyhawk support. But yes, it wasn't best supported.

Has it actually been stated that FR will be the default setting for D&D Next? Because in the cleric class write-ups we've had so far for playtesting, they always reference Pelor, who is the sun deity on Greyhawk...

We have a Gnome Illusionist presently in our campaign, the player called him Zoot something. First session, he cast Colour Spray at a bad guy, whilst shouting "Taste The Rainbow" across the table at me. The rest of the players looked at each other and yelled "Skittles!" at him. Nearly...

I've recently been running some adventures as a prelude to The Red Hand of Doom. The players have had references to "The Horde" when confronting opponents, seen Red Hands scrawled on the walls of a shaman, there have been dreams which contain clues as to what is happening (an ancient Dwarven...

I started with Tunnels and Trolls - firstly playing the Solitaire Dungeons they produced (my copy of Buffalo Castle may well fall apart through use!), they writing Eagle Caves for my brother and a friend to run characters through. I hope my adventure writing has improved a bit since then...

There are some great suggestions up there: perhaps I should count up an see which entries have had multiple mentions! I'd second NeMoren's Vault, an adventure I've reun a couple of times and which remains a firm favourite. It has a great mix of action, mystery and role-playing, and scope to...

I always named my homebrew adventures: my first ever T&T dungeon was called Eagle Caves and featured a Cult to the Great Eagle trying to fend off the unwary adventurers seeking loot. I don't know where most of my 2E adventure notes are, but I remember some of the titles I gave them: The Silver...

You'd be thinking about this book - Treasure Quests from Fast Forward Entertainment. Be very, very careful with this book: there are some significant curveballs in here. I dropped one of the encounters on my party without prep (we had fewer players than expected and so I needed something in a...

Despite what some of them might say, everyone's given me thumbs up for the dungeon crawl we've just been playing (DCC28 Into The Wilds for anyone interested). I've run other kinds of adventure (urban, wilderness, infiltration, etc,), but at the end of the day they just want to bash stuff and...
