Hero
My boys and I recently did a real "lost in the woods" maze and had a lot of fun. They're getting close enough to being able to handle D&D instead of the simpler Hero Quest that I want to start looking for what to run them through first.
I think a nice multi-level "Mad Mage's Maze" maze type setup that requires actual mapping would be fun. I'm looking for something that runs from around level 2 to level 8 or 10 . It needs to be generally kid-friendly - more of a kick down the doors and slay monsters type place instead of something with a whole ton of nuance, complex diplomacy, cannibals, gross stuff, or anything dealing heavily with ghosts, deities, etc. Mostly exploration and combat. I see the site header, but it's not in my target level range, and I'm assuming "splintered souls" hits the sort of stuff my kids aren't ready for yet.
I'd like to have something that someone else has done so I don't have to invent it from whole cloth, as I'm plenty busy working on other stuff myself. I know there is an Undermountain book, but I have not heard that it is very good, and I think it also includes some complex social situations with drow and stuff.
I don't think I would want to try to adapt 3.5 or 4e content, but I could probably port OSR stuff over pretty easily (I did the OSR lizard-king's tomb with no issues).
Any specific recommendations?
