[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 6265273, member: 20307"] As others have already noted, you didn't pick the easiest adventures. :) Time to push my old favourite, which was the adventure I started with 30 years ago: N1: Against the Cult of the Reptile God. Yes, that's the old way. There were even more extreme cases ("here's the dungeon, go with it"). The concept was "adventure provides maps&stats, player (and DM) the story." So, why my mentioning of N1? The adventure gives you a village as setting/base, with quite colourful NSCs. They aren't as detailled is in most of the Pathfinder material (you won't learn which school someone attended in his youth ;) ) but enough so that you can base your roleplaying on it. Some curious things are going on which are hard to miss and, as soon as the players start looking for it, evil is afoot. When the players have pieced together part of the story there are two "dungeons" waiting for them. One, directly in Orlane, is some sort of red herring, the other, harboring the evil guys, is where the meat of the adventure lies. It takes some overland travel and exploration to find it (creative players may circumvent the exploration part) and a two-level classical dungeon crawl. There's a [URL="http://merricb.livejournal.com/151096.html"]retrospective review[/URL] by [MENTION=3586]MerricB[/MENTION], which I don't follow completely. IMHO it works pretty well even with an inexperienced DM (like I was). The final fight is extremely hard, though. [/QUOTE]
