Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenjib" data-source="post: 580352" data-attributes="member: 530">Iron Kingdoms has a trilogy of adventures out.  Most people really like them a lot (seem to be a favorite to many).  I personally think that while there are many really great, memorable, encounters/locations/NPCs and they are very well written, there is a very serious problem with railroading the characters and "novel writing syndrome" where the author of the modules makes his pet NPCs more important to the story than the PCs can ever hope to be.  If the PCs try to take control of things, then the DM will need to wing it because the module expects the players to play nicely at all times -- everything the PCs will do is already pre-scripted for them.Scarred Lands is just starting to put out a module series but they haven't seemed very interested in putting out modules in general (not much money to be made in modules).  I haven't heard much about these modules though.Greyhawk has a million modules set officially in the world, both the current modules from WotC (although they don't really take advantage of the world much and are really for the most part completely generic adventures in all but name) and all of the old modules for 1e and 2e that can be converted.  Some of the all time classics from 1e are here.  The good news is that there are tons of modules.  The bad news is that most of the good ones are not for 3e.  Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil is in Greyhawk for 3e but is pretty hack-heavy.All that said, you can really adapt "generic" modules pretty easily to any setting.  The only place you might run into trouble is with Iron Kingdoms, because the world has a very unique feel (with steam powered machines and gunpowder) that no other modules out there really relate to, and so would require more heavy adaptation.</blockquote>
