Trying to remember/find an old 2nd ed adventure

[meitros]

First post on enworld...I ran across an adventure 15 years ago that I'm really eager to find again. Unfortunately, I was really yound and only remember a few things about it.

- It had 6 pregenerated characters, and each character had small sections about how they felt about the other characters.
- One of the characters was a cleric who used to be a god (and wants to return to his rightful place.) Flavor-wise, he cast spells by drawing on his own divine essence. All the other characters thought he was crazy. I think he had weirdly balanced stats (like all of his stats were 13s.)
- One of the other characters was a drow fighter.

Not a lot to go on, I know, but I'm hoping someone recognizes this. The pregenerated characters were really interesting, and all of my google searches have been fruitless.

That sounds vaguely familiar but, was the fighter specifically a drow or was it called a "dark elf?" Dragonlance routinely used pregen characters in its adventures but did not have drow - dark elves were elf outcasts. Drow can be found in Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms, but I don't recall any adventures in those settings having pregens.

Can you shed any light on the plot?

DaveMage: Sadly not...what stood out for me was the set of 6 characters and the blurbs on each of the character sheets telling you what you thought of the other characters


MasqueradingVampire: The god character wasn't one of the 3 core Dragonlance gods, so I'm guessing it couldn't have been set in dragonlance.

Are you 100% sure it is a 2E adventure? Most 2E adventures didn't come with pre-gens that I know of (DLance aside!).

It sounds like a tournament module, possibly one never commercially released and done for a private convention.

Cheers!

I was thinking about tournament modules as well, but the mention of small hints about how the character feels about the others? That wouldn't make much sense in a tournament environment, would it?

 

[DaveMage]

I found 1 Lankhmar adventure where the pre-gens had info about how they related to other characters, but those pre-gens did not include a cleric that was a god or a drow. (All the PCs were human.)

I looked through all my Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Lankhmar, Greyhawk, and Core 2E modules and couldn't find it. Maybe Ravenloft? Maybe we should check with Shannon Applecline (who would know for sure).

Could it have been from the Polyhedron? They published a number of RPGA tournament modules over the years and they typically included the pregens from the tournament along with brief descriptions of how they felt about each other. RPGA tournaments were judged based on how well the PC was role played and that included how well the player incorporated and played off the relationships between the PCs.

The other possibility is that it's not an official adventure but just one that someone created and shared over the internet. If nobody recognizes this, it must have been a far more obscure adventure than I thought (not to mention the fact that I only remember a few details.)
