[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7896298, member: 6796661"] So, this is where some DMs may pass on FGG materials. Parties can easily get in over their heads and if they are used to a controlled leveling of a typical WotC game, they'll likely learn the old-school experience of a TPK early on. Even products like Rappan Athuk, which will indicate appropriate character-level Tiers for different levels and areas, it is really easy for players to get to a Tier III areas when they are still at Tier I. Tegal Manor gives even less guidance. From the Kickstarter FAQ: Chapter 1 - Tegel Village is more of a roll-play and explore area. You have NPCs all over the place and the characters may not be able to easily discern how powerful an NPC is. No Tier of play recommendation is given. You can look at the CR of the various NPCs, but they are all over the place. Which is the point. Don't go causing trouble until you know you are dealing with. Chapter 2 - The Lands About Tegel Villiage. No Tier level recommendation given. Some areas are very deadly other less so. As a DM you can review the different locations and railroad the party to easier locations at lower levels, or let them them get themselves into trouble if they don't bother taking precautions. Chapter 3 - Sanctum of Madness. This can be run as a stand-alone adventure. It involves and area near Tegel Manor. It is recommended for 4-6 Tier III characters. Chapters 4 and 4 are in/below Tegel Manor itself and do not have a recommended Tier of play. Most advice I see on the forums suggest at least level 3-4 before setting foot in the Manor, with quite a few people suggesting another level or two above that. There is plenty to do in the areas around the manor to level up before going into the Manor. [/QUOTE]
