After almost thirty years of playing and DM'ing D&D, off and on (more off, sadly), I've finally got a regular group of players who are very keen to play every week with me as a DM! Exciting stuff.We've run through The Twisting Halls from the red box, to introduce the couple of players who've never played D&D before, which of course is a fairly bland dungeon crawl, but I've dropped plenty of unanaswered questions and links to the adventure I want to play next, namely The Slaying Stone (I then hope to move onto Orcs of Stonefang Pass, and then Reavers of Harkenwold). Everyone's keen to continue (versions of) the basic characters they started out with - or, in one or two cases, swap to someone entirely new-but-second level, which I can deal with in a session that will bridge the two adventures.Anyway, you'll instantly see the first problem I face - as written, Slaying Stone is for the first level characters. I don't think it'll be too hard to bump up the monsters and skill challenges and so on a bit, but I was just wondering if anyone out there - for whatever reason - has already done this, and if so, they have any tips to impart?The other idea I have (probably the first sign of madness) is to completely remodel Kiris Dahn/Gorizbadd so that I can use the big town map in Hammerfast. I like the idea of using a little token, to represent the entire party, as they explore the place - and, as soon as they're discovered by a patrol, or they chose to investigate one of the key buildings/areas, I can whip out some dungeon tiles and minis and 'zoom down' to the ensuing encounter.The problem is the map doesn't really fit the picture of Gorizbadd as described (though, to be fair, I'm not entirely sure it works for Hammerfast either!) so, again, I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts (even if they be 'Don't bother!'). Or are there any other large scale town maps that might be more suitable?Many thanks!</blockquote>
