[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 1921269, member: 27051"] I was toying around with this idea while working on my latest homebrew a few years back and came up with a few possible sequences (all using stuff from older editions as I hadn't bothered with 3e at the time). When I started paying 3e, I made some lists again. They broke down into styles and none had an overarching plot really - just a general feel that united them. I had planned to string plots around them as I went and fiddle with the XP a bit to keep the advancement manageable. [b]Old School Classics[/b] [i]Temple of Elemental Evil[/i] T1-4 [i]Scourge of the Slave Lords[/i] A1-4 [i]Queen of the Spiders[/i] GQQ1-7 [b]Coolest Dungeons[/b] [i]Palace of the Silver Princess Keep on the Borderlands Castle Amber Desert of Desolation Expedition to the Barrier Peaks White Plume Mountain Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth Tomb of Horrors[/i] [b]Overblown Plots[/b] [i]Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh Danger at Dunwater Finaly Enemy Pool of Radiance[/i] (eeew! What was I thinking here?) [i]Curse of the Azure Bonds Isle of Dread Egg of the Phoenix Temple, Tower and Tomb[/i] (hmmm...) [i]Dragon Mountain[/i] All of these top out in the mid-teens, though, so I had planned to include stuff like [i]Nightmare Keep[/i], [i]Labyrinth of Madness[/i] and the lower levls of [i]Greyhawk Ruins[/i] to, umm, finish things off. For 3e, there is always the "Ashardalon Sequence" ([i]Sunless Citadel, Forge of Fury, Speaker in Dreams, Standing Stone, Heart of Nightfang Spire, Deep Horizons, Lord of the Iron Fortress[/i] and [i]Bastion of Broken Souls[/i]) but I suspect that some of these might be crap, so I am actually not so sure about that. I love the stuff from Necromancer Games, so have been trying to tempt players into a sequence that runs along the lines of [i]Wizard's Amulet, Crucible of Freya, Aberrations[/i] and then interweaves [i]Tomb of Abysthor, Necropolis[/i] and [i]Rappan Athuk[/i] in some as-yet undecided manner. It's just an excuse to mangle some high-level PCs in [i]Rappan Athuk[/i], really (although [i]Necropolis[/i] might manage that well enough on its own, heh heh). Gotta give a shout out to [i]Night Below[/i] and [i]Rod of Seven Parts[/i] - they could be worked together to make a sequence out of two boxed sets, assuming you slapped something on the beginning that got the PCs through the early levels. And as a DS junkie, I modified and strung together the adventures from that setting into a campaign that runs [i]Freedom, Road to Urik, Arcane Shadows, Asticlian Gambit, Marauders of Nibenay, Merchant House of Amketch, Dragon's Crown, Black Flames, Black Spine[/i] and [i]Forest Maker[/i]. I use the [i]Incursion[/i] stuff from Dragon & Dungeon magazines to flesh [i]Black Spine[/i] out into a full-on invasion and add a finale of my own called [i]Warbringer[/i] to rewrite the ending of the Prism Pentad novels. Bit of an obsession, really. [/QUOTE]
