[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 2476109, member: 25619"] - Return to the Keep on the Borderlands: + nostalgia + fun mix of monsters, with a good chance of PC success or death depending on how they play it + a wonderful homebase setting, with great NPC's. In my campaign, two of the NPC's were adopted as PC's and fit right in as "fully realized" character ideas + we had a TON of fun having the main baddies decide to actually launch their attack on the Keep. The world's first 150+ rd. combat! - 2nd Edition stats - Crucible of Freya (+ free Wizard's Amulet) + good background info and help for me DM's +/- usable but slightly off-kilter village. No fence and too many guards are my main complaints. + some strong NPC's +/- more of a "scene" driven adventure than a dungeon crawl. Could be accused of railroading. - Three Days to Kill + fun plot in a great and gritty mini-setting, with a great twist and moral +/- short, definitely for one session, may not be enough to level up +/- goes kinda crazy at the end; I toned that down +/- perhaps a little too modern: magic items clearly duplicating modern special forces gear - The Sunless Citadel + mechanically sound. Teaches 3e pretty well. + memorable NPC's -- Meepo! - village is not fully realized + ties in with adventure path of WOTC adventures, most of which are good - a little "weird". Keep, Freya, or Three Days to Kill fit anywhere in a "normal" D&D campaign, like Greyhawk of Forgotten Realms or something similar. Sunless Citadel has some more fantastical elements -- a fallen cult of dragons destroyed by a great Earthquake long ago. All four: easy to find a reason for PC's to do them. Next weekend, I'm thinking of running the Sunless Citadel, but using the Briarton supplement for the village/homebase. [/QUOTE]
