Sell me an Adventure

[Aus_Snow]

ok, I had to rewrite this, because the Preview Post didn't work, just gaev me a blank page.

I'm trying to find a published adventure for a group of 25-40 y/o experienced gamers. Something in-depth, with a great plot and some real surprises, would be nice. Some hacknslash is fine in the mix too though. The party of 4 is very low in levls (below 10 total).

I've looked through some of the reviews on this site, but there's so many . . . and I still can't decide what to buy. Help!

Write your own. Published adventures are almost always a railroad, which tends to piss off experienced gamers.

However, if you must have a published adventure, allow me to recommend:

Vault of Larin Karr
Splintered Peace

These are both mini-settings as much as adventures, with lots of things for players to do and opportunities for further adventure after the events covered have been resolved.

I really enjoyed reading the Redwood Scar by Zeitgeist games.

It's set in Blackmoor, but its generic enough you could port it in easily.

In the Belly of the Beast is good business. I'm running it now (converted to Summa Fantasia).

For a good dungeon crawl, the Toad God's Treasure is an expertly designed environment; the only problem is that it gives out far too much wealth for its level, but that is easily fixed.

I also like Vault of Larin Karr(sp?), but it might be a bit rough for low level characters, The Freeport trilogy by Green Ronin is a very good series also.(its 3.0, but I believe a 3.5 version PDF is available)

Banewarrens is also worth a look. Lots of roleplaying opportunity, room to be creative and a couple of twists thrown in.

I'll second Banewarrens. It is an interesting story that should keep exp. gamers enthused.

A third for Banewarrens. Though it sounds like you're party is rather low-level- 1st-3rd level characters, I'm guessing, if they add up to only about 10 total? Banewarrens is for 8th-12th... try running something else first. May I recommend the Tomb of Abysthor, intended for 2nd-8th level characters?

 

[Aazenius]

Banewarrens is for 6-10th. Good adventure though, lots to do.

Banewarrens

A fifth (or whatever we're up to now) for Banewarrens. Had this answer just by looking at the first post. It took my jaded (some playing 20+ years) players and really tossed 'em for a loop.
