[QUOTE="Lord Ipplepop, post: 5729800, member: 39914"] I usually borrow little interesting bits that I can either use outright or re-work somehow. ex: From Search for the Unknown (B1), The entrance has a battle scene where several adventurers had their first (and last) battle. I have used that a few times, where characters come upon an old battle scene. Once, the scene was at a 4-way, and the party was attacked with missile weapons and magic from the dark Corridors. Another time, it was s single orc with a pouch of coins. As soon as the first character grabbed the pouch and tried to pick it up, the floor disappeared... etc From The Gauntlet (UK3)- I expanded on the idea of the characters being in a castle of some kind while an army (or three) gathers outside demanding whatever treasure the characters are protecting (something the characters didn't realize was there). From The Temple of Elemental Evil (T1-4) I "borrowed" the bandit ambush. There was another one where the "dungeon" was a pyramid buried in a desert... from that, I got the idea of the hidden dungeon. Stuff like that... no exact settings, or adventure ideas (although, I twisted the Paladin in Hell to really cause havoc with your favorite Holy Warrior). [/QUOTE]
