[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 3488059, member: 3649"] I'm thinking you need to look into trying to find new players, rather than dropping the hobby completely. Taking a break is always good, and lets you recharge your batteries so to speak. This especially works well after a really disasterous cmapaign or series of bad experiences. Take care that these people will get along in a restaurant or something and you'll take care of the 'getting along at the gaming table' bit. The adventures, I can't really help you with - I very seldom ever use printed adventures. [I]Eyes of the Lich Queen[/I] will be the first printed adventure I've run in years. Unless you're talking about Dungeon, WoTC just doesn't [I]make [/I] all that many adventures. Look for some back issues of Dungeon and you should be able to find a lot of stuff suited for you. They have some Greyhawk adventures in there as well. [I]Dungeon Crawl Classics[/I] might be of some use to you. I've read a few of those and they seem pretty good. As far as the tone of your game..
