Recommendations for a Good Low-Level Module?

[Jeff Wilder]

Maiden Voyage, by Atlas/Penumbra.

 

[Nellisir]

The Lost Vault of Tsathzar Rho, by Mike Mearls, from Goodman Games. You can get it in pdf format at RPGNow, which means you can print out whatever you want and write all over it, or copy n' paste to insert your own material.

It's a nice, really straightforward generic dungeon adventure, good for getting people into a campaign. In fact, it worked beautifully for me just last night! No railroading, no forced plot. I can't stand adventures that script the characters into the dungeons.

Cheers

I am looking for a good low-level (as in 1st-3rd level) module for my campaign. I just voted on the "Best 1st ed. Modules" thread and said Village of Hommlett is my all-time favorite 1st ed. module because it has the following: (1) a well-detailed town with lots of characters and NPCs for the DM to play with, (2) a nearby mysterious dungeon with a great map and cool monsters/bad guys, and (3) intrigue and treachery in the town that is related to events in the dungeon and makes the town more than just a "rest stop" but a place for adventure in its own right.

Based on that description, you should be thrilled with Necromancer Games The Lost City of Barakus.

I would describe it to you, but I'd just be repeated what you said. You simply left out the 20-odd wilderness encounters that go along with the town and the 5-level dungeon.

You will get way, WAY more than your money's worth out of this $34.95 hardback.

(Necromancer really should start paying me for evangelizing this mega-module.)

I'll second Of Sound Mind.

We had a lot of fun with that one, even with the party not realizing they were trapping themselves in. Buahaha. Suckers.

Maiden Voyage and Nemoren's Vault are both solid gold

 

[diaglo]

most of the ones i would've suggested are already posted.

so i'll throw in:

Ed Cha's Village of Oester and Hamlet of Thumble

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

I second this. Also, The Idylls of the Rat King by Goodman Games fills most of your requirements and is pretty darn good.

I would like to recommend Crucible of Freya

T1: Village of Homlet is a great module. I am using parts of it right now, and will be for several months!

A lot of good ones listed above, especially Fiery Dragon's NeMoren's Vault.

I hear Lost City of Barakus from Necromancer has a ton of setting/background info.

 

[MonsterMash]

Lost City of Barakus from Necromancer Games has been good so far (I'm playing in it) and really matches your requirements.

Other low level adventures I've enjoyed are Wizards Amulet/Crucible of Freya also from Necromancer and Evil Unearthed from Dungeon #83? - can't remember the issue no properly, not so much done for you only being an addy from Dungeon, but nice for the number of hooks it gives the DM - think it was written by Jeff Grubb?
