[QUOTE="bento, post: 4101667, member: 36597"] I'm in the middle of a desert campaign and have had a good look at the landscape out there (heh). I've run "Masque of Dreams" from Dungeon 140 going into B4: The Lost City. This took us six months to get through, so it might be a little too long for what you're looking for. For 1st to 4th level. B4 is a classic - its set in a pyramid and the top half of the layers are well fleshed out, while the bottom layers not so much. And don't forget the hidden city under they pyramid! Four factions are viying for power and your players can tip the scales for one group or another. Note - this dungeon does suffer from the octopus in the room effect - there are some wacky critters that have found their way to the pyramid. You may want to do some re-adjusting to make things more consistent. A great desert book I came across and will use shortly is Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia by Necromancer. The first half of the book you can throw away, but the middle section contains 6 or so inter-connected adventures. These are great for one-shot adventures, and you can either string them together or use them for one or two nights of playing. Most all these adventures are for 6 to 9th level. Goodman Game's Dungeon Crawl Classics has a few desert adventures. I've picked up DCC #49, "Palace in the Wastes" which was used at GenCon tournament a couple of years ago. It's for 7th level and I'm still working my way through it. I might end up using parts of this, but I think its too similar to B4's length for me to consider using with my group. Other DCC's set in the desert are #15 "Lost Tomb of the Sphinx Queen" (14th level), #32 "The Golden Palace of Zahadran" (14th level), #45 "Malice of the Medusa" (1st level), and #47 "Tears of the Genie" (6th level). Wolfgang Bauer recently finished up a desert adventure in his open game project. You can check his site for details. I didn't purchase but it might be worthwhile. And don't overlook Sandstorm, WoTC's environment book covering deserts. There are plenty of great ideas, sites for adventures and cool beasties. I use this all the time. When I get home I'll take another look and see if I left anything out. [/QUOTE]
