Shipwreck/Island adventures

[MaxKaladin]

I picked up Dungeon Crawl Classics #55, Isle of the Sea Drake, this weekend. Its 4E, a little rough in place, but it is an interesting stranded on a tropical island adventure.

I wonder how tough it would be to back-convert to 3e, C&C or something like that.

The old 1e module C4 the Lost Island of Castanimir is set up as a shipwreck railroad to lead into the adventure, it is for levels 1-3, but even though it has some interesting monsters I wouldn't recommend it straight, it involves a lot of collected stuff from the multiverse including vacuum robots and other tech oddities as conceived of in the early 80s.

I used to run this adventure (with some modifications) as my favorite "introduce new players to rpgs" tool for years. It is light on combat and heavy on problem-solving.

...maybe its time to adapt it to 4th edition, some areas of that adventure would benefit from some skill challenges

There is another about diving to a shipwreck in a Dungeon mag. That was very cool...and quite creepy. Scared the bejeesus out of the players a couple of times with that adventure.

I'm not sure if this is the one you're referring to, but is it "Salvage Operation" in Dungeon 123?

Check out my adventure module, Dark Shore, written for Labyrinth Lord, but can be tweaked for any dnd version.

Its an island-based, LOSTesque type adventure.

Sounds like the one. I believe it has underwater trolls or ogres on the front? From memory there was more than one water-based adv in that issue.

I collected all the island/water adventures from Dungeon together and wrote a list for my pirate, island hopping campaign. I will try and find it and may even post what I have.

Cheers, C

Hidden Shrine of Tomachen (sp?), one of the first tournament modules for AD&D, mildly famous for launching the Gibbering Mouther!

Thanks, I'll try to get a look at the Salvage Operations one.
