Pimp a good PDF Adventure

[Eosin the Red]

I am looking for a PDF Adventure to run at a local game day and I am open to suggestions. Here is what would appeal to me.

Product: PDF, preferably intended as a PDF to boot
Mid-Level Range: 3rd-7th
Playtime: 3-6 hours
Setting: I dislike wildly powerful magic and characters or stories that henge on them.
Location: Not a Dungeon crawl unless it is insanely good and makes good sense.

Other than that I would really like to know which adventures people (publishers & players) think are outstanding.

A pimp thread on the bottom of the page with no replies?

Gotta fix that.

As many PDFs exist there just aren't a lot of adventures available. I'm betting that someone like Goodman Games or Necromancer could do very well selling an "adventure of the week" PDF subscription service.

Wait a second, ALL of Goodman Games' adventures are available in PDF...

D'oh!!! You're right. And so are (I think all of) Necromancer's now that I think about it.

Okay, it's officially time for a break. Man, I wish I would have bought Doom 3 for the xBox so I could take a fun break.

Goodman Games' Dungeon Crawl Classics are pretty cool. Definitely reminds me of some of my favorite 1E modules.

If that's what you are looking for, but you said you weren't.

The only difference-- I think it's my turn to talk out of my ass now-- is that Goodman Games' are available at RPGnow, at "PDF Pricing" as opposed to DriveThru, where Necromancer's pricing is often a little... wonky.

I prefer to just buy the print version of Necromancer stuff and am rarely disappointed.

I bought Crypt of the Devil Lich from Goodman Games and the more of their PDFs I buy, the more I wish I could find them in print.

Get outside, you nerd.

Eosin, would you be interested in a low-magic, Grim Tales adventure?

I'd be happy to send you the "almost-ready-for-publication" PDF I have of "The Seven Saxons," which I ran at ENworld Gameday Boston, if you would be willing to post a review of it afterwards.

The Monkey God Presents series is available from Highmoon Media at RPGNow.com - I have the print version of Song of Srorms, it is very good, and designed for characters of 7-8. The Magic Dump is an adventure for characters of 6-8, and is about, well, a magic dump that is getting out of control.

Dire Koblod has a subscription system, and automatic scaling for adventures, you type in the specifics of the adventuring party and it tailors the game to fit.

United Kingdom Gamers (UKG Publishing) has adventures available as both PDFs and as CDs. The adventures contain scalable maps.

All are available at RPGNow.

Get outside, you nerd.

But . . . there are people out there. I saw them once and it was scary.

You wouldn't think that spending 12 hours a day alone would change you. If I didn't love the luxuries (computer, 'net, DVDs, running water) so much I'd move to a "Unabomber-style" cabin so fast the world wouldn't know how I vanished.
