[QUOTE="Scrivener of Doom, post: 6236307, member: 87576"] I haven't run the adventure but I have given some thought to how it might be expanded. [B]In the City [/B] I think The Undercellar, as featured in [I]Rats in the Undercellar[/I] from [I]Dungeon 217[/I], is really ripe for expansion, particularly in connection with your extant plots relating to the Guild and the Knights of the Shield. [URL="http://www.livingforgottenrealms.com"]The Living Forgotten Realms adventures[/URL] for Baldur's Gate also have some worthwhile ideas. [B]Outside the City [/B] Dwarves and elves? Go north, young man, and explore the remnants of Illefarn. I would suggest grabbing the rather good [I]Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle[/I] and running with that. The region is ripe with adventure hooks relating to dwarves and elves ([URL="http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3803&whichpage=33"]and Eric L Boyd provides a dozen or so pieces of lore for free here that can be used to inspire further adventures[/URL])... and you could replace make the diabolic BBEG a part of the Knights of the Shield if you wanted to carry that plotline further. (I definitely would. It would also tie in nicely to a homemade adventure in the ruins of Dragonspear Castle should you wish to extend the campaign even further.) [I]Ghosts[/I] has a nice regional hex map that you could simply populate yourself for an old-fashioned hexcrawl. This month's [I]Dungeon[/I] has an adventure set in Elturgard which is the nation to the east of Baldur's Gate. I'm really hoping it comes with an excellent regional map - so I don't have to keep using the tonne of suck that came with the 4E [I]Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide[/I] - and that could really help you to expand a campaign to the east should that take your fancy. Unfortunately I suspect it will be another three or so weeks before we see this month's issue of [I]Dungeon[/I]. [/QUOTE]
