Side Treks for the Isle of Dread

[Garnfellow]

I just ran my party through Dungeon's "Torrents of Dread" adventure, and while I've got the PCs on the Isle of Dread, I'd like to run a few side treks. What would be some nice lost world/jungle/tropical sea adventures for a 6-7th level party? (A ripping good pirate sceanrio might be nice, as well.)

"Dungeon Crawl Classics -- Curse of the Green Cobra" would work beautifully on the Isle of Dread, I think.

The_Gneech rocks. This looks like it has just the right feel for my retro-game, is in the right level range, and BONUS! -- available as a pdf.

You say this as if most people just have Dungeon issues numbers 6 and 7 just laying around!

From Dungeon #86 Rana Mor by Richard Baker. You'll have to rework the intro a bit (maybe use a tribe of natives as the party's 'employers' but a good ruins exploration module).

I have used recently (my group is on the Isle of Dread too)

Beast of Burden by Michael Kortes (Dungeon #100) required very little work. I replaced the leader of the gnolls with a Dark Elf for campaign reasons and changed the intro (the party met a small tribe of gnomes that had been forced to flee before the gnolls and their massive beast) but otherwise an excellent fit into a secluded area like the Isle.

Demonclaw by Peter R Hopkins (Dungeon #84) I reworked it to make it the lair of a good-aligned Lich, had the lowest levels mapped out as Merrow lairs (in the module it is just a staircase) and repopulated the enitre tower. I just wanted the layout and setting (a wizard's tower built on an outcropping of rock surrounded by ocean).


I also though Kambranex's Machinations by Robert Lee (Dungeon #91) would be interesting to put on the Isle too. I haven't tried it...yet.

don't they?

i do. and of course, that means my group has access to them as well.

heck, paizo was selling back issues. which WotC did too.

ebay and other auction sites are your friends... don't pay more than $15 for either issue including shipping.

I'm still waiting for them to put Dungeon on CD. I'm just not sure I want hundreds of pounds of magazines to deal with.
