Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 2231194" data-attributes="member: 19675">OK...read the entire thread.  I have one caveat before I make my suggestions:  Whichever adventure you use,  avoid those with strong negative female stereotypes.  Sometimes they hide, so be careful and read the entire adventure before running it.Suggestions:1) I agree with the poster who suggested using pregens, at least to the point of having pregens available  for selection.  If nothing else, they may stir someone's imaginations or help them complete their own PC conception & design.  Pregens also let you run a slightly higher power-level game without having to walk newbies through artificial levelling.2) AEG and FFG published a HORDE of quickie adventures, many of which were reviewed in Dragon Magazine Annual #6, if I properly recall.  Some were better than others, but few were actually intro level- hence suggestion #1.  Personally, I own AEG's Jerimond's Orb, Castle Zadrian, Servants of the Blood Moon, and The Heart of Amun Khonshu- none of which is lower than PC lvls 2-4.3) AEG has also published 2 softcover books- Adventures 1 and 2, which contain some good stuff.4) Dungeon Magazine usually publishes at least 1 low, 1 medium and 1 high level adventure per issue- most of them are pretty decent.5)  I agree with Celebrim's idea of converting UK1.  I'd add Village of Homlet.  If you're particularly optimistic, try ToEE- my game group started with 1st level PCs and are using it as our campaign's centerpiece, and now our PCs are 7th level.6) Homebrew: There is something to be said for running something like a caravan that gets ambushed or a sewer crawl after somebody with "The Maguffin": Flexibility.  The initial adventure(s) center around some bandits attacking the caravan, or recovering "The Maguffin"...and can easily be stretched into a campaign.  All you need is a good party group, a general plot line, the necessary maps, a couple of set encounters and some good random encounter charts.</blockquote>
