[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 4530785, member: 34958"] I would start with B1 if you want an easier dungeon with some wondrous and odd-ball mysteries inside. And if they clear it out they start with a base of operations that they can stock mercs from the expert book with! I typically run B1 without writing in the monsters, and just add the monsters in at points in the game when I want to speed up the action or pick a monster on an ongoing theme. For instance, in B1 my characters ran into some of the human berserkers so they reasoned that these berserkers were barbarians who had raided the complex. I let them think that, occasionally adding an oddball orcish mercenary of the berserkers, and eventually a berserker leader and his guards in the throne room. Other encounters were large creatures in the provided listing, and I also tried to use up most of the treasure on the list, also on the fly. I really like B1. By the by, I played a game with Frank Mentzer (the creator of BECMI) last June and I can say that the way you play the game and the way I played the game are just like Frank ran his. [/QUOTE]
