[QUOTE="Fox Lee, post: 6773756, member: 4346"] Hi everyone! I'd like to ask you all for a little help, if you don't mind! See, I've had word from one of my best friends, who moved away a few years ago and was never able to find a new gaming group. He's visiting soon and wants to hook up with the old group for a hardcore D&D long weekend, which I am really excited for. So I was wondering, does anybody have a recommendation for a great 4e adventure/module that has an expected play time of ""a couple of days", that I could use as a framework for this special game? Any source or setting is fine (I'm gonna hack it into my world anyway :p), but I imagine the group would much prefer a Paragon-tier adventure to Heroic or Epic - something that's natively Paragon, or close enough to scale easily, would be ideal. A strong story would be excellent, but I should steer clear of a political/social intrigue type adventure (the group is not very socially-inclined; they like roleplay acting, with one exception, but have little patience for subtlety, diplomacy or subterfuge). Big flashy set-piece fights (the type with terrain management and additional goals), are great. Indeed, if you know of something with BOTH, that's probably our winner right there :p Even if these traits are a bit too much to ask, I'd appreciate any suggestion that fits the play time and level range - the most important thing is to finish in three days. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :D Oh, and just in case, here's a quick rundown of my players: [list=1] [*]Powergamer/Instigator: Likes tanking, righteous vengeance, and making friends with NPCs. Typically plays audacious, hot boys with rage issues. [*]Pure Slayer: Likes beating enemies, hates talky/social stuff. Mostly just wants to be a gothy warrior lady who takes zero crap from anyone. [*]Powergamer/Strategist: Likes classic fantasy, magic users and familiars, unusual races/origins. Likes playing lots of roles, as long as they're satisfyingly crunchy. [*]Storyteller/Powergamer: Likes cinematic flair, one-liners, steampunk/magepunk stuff. Slightly cheesy sense of style, but very sincere. Doesn't have to be the most powerful thing on the field, but will get very frustrated if he feels ineffectual. [*]Spectator: Has a great sense of humour, but super hard to motivate. Likes classic horror/sci-fi/cyberpunk. Seems to prefer ranged (detached?) characters. [*]Pure Instigator: Super fun guy who fits in with anything. Likes playing weird un-socialised characters (or straight-up monsters) but seems to enjoy pretty much everything. [/list] [/QUOTE]
