[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8606692, member: 19857"] My regular group has a bit of a sporadic schedule, and so there are times when only two of the group can actually meet. During those sessions I'll generally run a one-shot for the two of them (it's usually the same two - their schedules are a bit more regular than everyone else). Recently both of them have suggested that we go back to their "retired" high level characters and use them for these one shots to allow them both to use these characters that they barely were able to play at that level before we started a new campaign. With that background in mind - I'm looking for ideas for high level one-shots that are more interesting than me looking for high level monsters to throw at them. I have plenty of ideas for high level [I]campaigns[/I] or high level multi-part [I]adventures[/I], but I'm finding that my inspiration well is a lot drier when trying to think of ideas that would fit into a single afternoon's session time (think a 4 hour convention slot - that's about the time we realistically have). And while I could make multi-part adventures for them that kind of defeats the purpose of these sessions which are really supposed to be single episode one-shots so we don't have multiple campaigns to keep track of (and fail to remember details of from session to session). So does anyone have any ideas? Or published resources that they know of that would have these kinds of adventures in them? (I have the Pelgrane Press Battle Scenes books for 13th age and there are some high-level one-shots in those that I'm using for inspiration, but I can definitely use more suggestions of high level published short adventures if anyone knows of them).
