[QUOTE="aco175, post: 7309026, member: 27385"] If you are running something at the FLGS for players of various play experiencing I would want to keep things more simple for myself. A series of small modules that can be played in 1 sitting with semi-random people needs a more open-ended plot with war in the background. The PCs may never get to the front lines and stage a massive assault or be cooped up in Helm's Deep before the onslaught of orcs, but that takes play around them. You also need an enemy that can span several levels and still be a threat. Also, something that can have lots of pets, and monsters with them. I would go with kuo-toa. I posted a module on [URL="http://http://www.dmsguild.com/product/227555/Phandalin-Wave-Echo-Lake"]DMsGuild[/URL] having them in it. I had PCs that were 10th level, so most of the threats were the leaders of the kuo-toa and things like giant aligators. There are several new types of kuo-toa that can be used and modified to meet your needs. With kuo-toa as your primary threat you can have them pop up anywhere from underground. The front line is off there somewhere but the PCs are needed at the old temple where wounded are healing or in the sewers of town where some have been spotted. Some missions go underground to take out a leader type or intercept diplomatic missions to lizardmen or something. I had fun with them as a end of campaign monster. [/QUOTE]
