Your Fave 1st Level Campaign Kicker Offer Modules

I'm actually going to have to go with Burnt Offerings (Pathfinder #1). My players loved it and are still super attached to Sandpoint.

Cheers!

I've use Keep on the Borderlands/Return to the Keep on the Borderlands, Village of Hommlett, Three Days to Kill, and The Sunless Citadel to good effect.

Yep, plus Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh, Lost City of Barakus, and Raiders of Oakhurst.

Raiders of Oakhurst?


I decided tentatively on Hollows Last Hope/Crown of the Kobold King. The DarkMoon Vale area seems appealing in a "Borderlands" sort of way, and ripe for several type sof adventures, not just dungeon crawls. We used Sandpoint for our PFBB campaign, and I wanted something similar in scope, but different in the details.

 

[DEFCON 1]

For a change of pace from the typical "starting town" scenario for the introduction to a campaign, I've used the shipwreck plotline that brings disparate characters together leading into Lost Island of Castanamir. Land on a deserted island and then have to search the bizarre and puzzling wizard's compound.

It has a very even distribution of NPC interaction, fights, mystery, puzzles and dungeon crawl aspects... all in a format that is quite different than "go out and explore the Caves of Chaos" type of thing.

Raiders of Oakhurst is a fantastic module for 4e: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...Reloaded-Free-4E-Adventure-(Ennie-Nominated!)

My all time favorite is still B4 The Lost City. To me, that is just the gold standard of module design.

My all time favorite is still B4 The Lost City. To me, that is just the gold standard of module design.

Like a lot of early modules, especially Basic, Lost City relied a lot on the GM customization, especially if the adventure is to be extended into the lower sections of the city. If you're prepared to put some work into it, though (and being it's 1e Basic you'll have work to do anyway), it can form the basis for an extended camaign.

Of Sound Mind, by our very own Piratecat. It has the most satisfying climax of any module I've ever run.

I've also heard good things about L1 - Secret of Bone Hill.

It's one of my favorites, but is for level 2-4 pcs.

Welp,.1st session went great. We ended up going with a 3.5 lite (similar to PFBB), instead of the CnC variant, but I did end up going with Hollows Last Hope, placing it in Northwestern Bissel in Greyhawk (20 years after the Wars).

Players managed to get the first two ingredients needed to cure the plague. The animated cauldron encounter in the Witches old hut really was fun. They just entered the ruined monastery at night and I cliffhangered them as the worg's wolf "sentries" surprised them from behind.

Lotta fun! And free to boot!

I have good memories from running The Eternal Boundary to kick off a Planescape campaign. Would be tricky to adapt for Golarion or Greyhawk though.
