[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5964982, member: 1"] I'm currently halfway through writing [I]"To Slay A Dragon"[/I] which is a traditional dragon hunting short campaign arc. The dragon heavily uses kobold henchmen throughout the county. It also draws heavily on things like [I]Night Below -[/I] at least the first book which details a village and environs and contains multiple sub-quests. It's more a large adventure than a campaign, though. I'm planning it as a Kickstarter campaign: [INDENT]Do you remember D&D adventures which consisted solely of trekking to a dragon's lair and slaying it, old-school style? Have you fond memories of the NIGHT BELOW boxed set - in particular the first book which details the area of Haranshire and the various goings-on there? If you love the idea of a small village setting, detailed with various plot hooks and sub-quests, followed by a good-old fashioned hex-crawl and a dragon slaying, this adventure is for you! It's NIGHT BELOW crossed with THE HOBBIT. Kinda. TO SLAY A DRAGON for the PATHFINDER RPG is divided into three parts: THE ILLS OF HENGISTBURY details the village of Hengistbury and its environs. Numerous small quests and hooks bring the area alive. THE JOURNEY details the trek to Skull Mountain, the lair of the dragon. A traditional journey across a hex-map, with random encounters and notable locations along the way. The party will be harrassed by the dragon's kobold spies as they get closer to their destination. INTO THE DRAGON's LAIR details the lair of the dragon (a volcano, of course!) and the dragon itself, along with its kobold minions. The current (rough) table of contents is below. This is fully subject to change and - most definitely - to expansion! What is shown below is what had been written at the time of posting this Kickstarter project: mainly the first part of the adventure.
