Good published "starter" adventure wanted

[Piratecat]

Do I need a DDI subscription to get it?

Not at all, it was a 2002 3e psionics adventure (later converted to 3.5) that would update fairly smoothly to Pathfinder or 4e (if you don't mind the monsters using a psionics system that the heroes don't have access to.) Amazon resellers have copies for $2-4 or so if you don't find anything that you like better!

Sellswords of punjar is cool.

Dungeon Crawl Classics

It comes with a full color double sided poster map.

I second that emotion- Sellswords is great, set in the city- a bit of detecting (not much mind), some nice encounters with some dodgy villains- lots of scope for a start up campaign. I ran it before Keep on the Shadowfell for my 4e campaign because it helped me to establish the overall campaign arc for my game and intro'd a whole bag of the good/bad guys that have made excellent recurring enemies/friends.

See the Story Hour thread below for an account of what lies within.

That looks like a good option for something down the line, as I was hoping to start up in a small town.

Note that KotSF comes with two double sided poster maps and has detailed (well, some detail) a small town.

It also gives a lot of adventure, not all of which takes place in the keep. But it needs a little work to liven up the story, and may actually have to much (ie need to be cut down) for some games.

Of Sound Mine and NeMoren's vault were both produced by a small company called Fiery Dragon back in the 3.0 era.

oops. Sorry bout that.

How about From Here to There?

It's a collection of 9 wilderness adventures. I need to get this, anyway.

 

[darjr]

Uh.. that's not out yet.

something is just wrong with me...

I was looking at In Search of Adventure but it didn't seem to quite fit.

Can't really tell from the description if it would fit, though.

Keep on the shadowfell is OK.

Can't say as I agree with this... Keep on the Shadowfell was a tedious slog, even after our DM cut out half the encounters. The battle-maps were excellent though.

I think I have it somewhere in my house (KotS) - isn't there some sort of prophecy involved, or am I thinking of another low level 4E adventure?

I just wrapped up a long campaign involving a prophecy and I think my players would kill me if I invoked another one right at the start of this campaign.
