Message: <blockquote data-quote="Actoba" data-source="post: 6231305" data-attributes="member: 6746340">Thanks Whizbang.  I'm not too bothered about what level we start/continue from as i'm pretty sure we'll be starting with a full group of new characters especially if we pickup a new player or three.  Assuming they survive dragonspear castle i always assumed we'd revisit that later on as more sundering content comes out anyway.I am keen on the idea that we do something thats a bit more iconic/memorable/classic though.  As the DM for the group (and the one with the most general gaming experience...tho very much still a noob compared to most!) i've read/played/watched a fair bit the last few months stealing ideas/techniques/experience and so on from others to try and make our games a bit better.  My players are somewhat less engaged with the history/background of the game so it would be nice to introduce them to something that might draw them in a little more and give them their classic "I remember when we first started playing in 2013/2014 and we ran through XXXX adventure/module/campaign...." to tell others about in years to come <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I will say that our first adventure (Keep on the Borderlands) ended in dramatic failure as they all got chomped on by a ghoul 2 rooms from the end of the module thanks to a succession of horrific save throw rolls by the players.  Their reactions (and no doubt memories) were priceless! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm totally on board with the idea of avoiding anything thats remotely meatgrinder like.  I had read a little about the cult of the reptile god before and thought that might be a good starting point for something....also read good things about Hommlet too.  Just looked up Saltmarsh too and i think i vaguely recall one of my other friends mentioning he had that series stashed away somewhere so will have to quiz him about that too.  Thanks for the suggestions!</blockquote>
