[QUOTE="DM_Jeff, post: 2270327, member: 3687"] [b]Adventure Keepers[/b] >>From past experience my gut feel is often way off-beam. Has anyone run any of these, and if so, what was your experience of them? Has anyone attempted to string them together into a campaign? I ran most of them when they first came out. They worked OK with little modification. To me they almost strung together too easily. One author kept centering his adventures around a city, I think named "Desburg", that eventually became filled with adventure an ongoing hooks! I ran many more than once, and while I was doing freelance for AEG I jumped at the chance to redo them all for 3.5 with minor adjustments and suggestions at the end of each for stringing other adventures in (Adventure I and Adventure II). When you say some were a little wonky, there are times I can tell you there were some very inconsistent and illogical moves by many of the bit players regarding the story. While I was allowed to fix these minor complications, I was told to keep the basic plots intact. There were 1 or 2 however that I petitioned to do heavy rewrites on, and little of their original remain. Still, like others have said here, many of the locations became permanent revisit locations for the characters in my campaigns. LOTS of fond memories from this series! :-) -DM Jeff [/QUOTE]
