The Auld Grump - if only so that I have excuse to look at L5. I am pretty sure that I am trying to talk myself into running Bone Hill. and Erol Otus deliberately gave the back cover bad art in protest. I love L1, but the story behind its making is just plain weird - if I remember properly, Len Lakofka was paid $11,000 for around 10,000 words.

元 was part of the 20th Anniversary set, and L4 is only available as a free download on Dragonsfoot, along with a Restenford gazetteer - and while I was hunting up the link, I just discovered that there is now an L5. Silver Anniversary, Return to the Keep on the Borderlands added a new photo.

In the Forgotten Realms, Under Illefarn was really good as well. ebay.)Ĭult of the Reptile God (N1?)was a good 1st level adventure as well. (And I never knew that there were 2 more adventures in the Bone hill set. The Auld Grump - the town can't use the tree for hangings anymore - it's haunted.Ĭan always use Hommlet as a village, and run the moathouse as a side trip at some point. in a town that has a population of fewer than 10,000.) Which means one more encounter on the road (a haunted crossroads, with a month old corpse hanging from an apple tree). (The titular 'tree' is a triple gallows that has recently been built in the town square.

Only one of the PCs have discovered the vigilante's Brute form (encounter engineered that way - the Brute's player is her husband - it will be fun for them to keep the secret together, from the bad guys and/or the rest of the party*).Īnother possibility is to change gears and run one of my own old adventures - A Tree Grows in Aidentaugh - I wrote that way back around 1981. Sad thing is that they have already had their first encounter (the ubiquitous 'minor encounter on the road' - because bandits or goblins can be dropped in anywhere). is not going to see that many opportunities for being a vigilante. Hmm, one thing I hadn't thought of - a Brute - vigilante character in a village.

So, just let folks know that T1 will not lead to the rest of the Temple or run L1 instead, letting it lead to adventuring for a while in Restenford? (I ran it at a summer program when she was about 11 years old - she was the one that figured out what was going on.) So, I started looking at alternatives - Secret of Bone Hill being one (I will need to trade in the wraith for a ghost, but otherwise it works), which leads to The Assassin's Knot, Deep Dwarven Delve, and Devilspawn.Īnother old favorite - The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh - has been disqualified because at least one of my players has been through it, and she has been. (ToEE is the only adventure where I felt that the sequel - 'Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil - was an improvement over the original.) I had been thinking of running The Village of Hommlet - but the problem with that is that at least one player might expect that to feed into The Temple of Elemental Evil, which is not a campaign that I have any urge to run. As our excursion to The Keep on the Borderlands wrap up, I have been looking to continue adventures that my good lady, and some of our friends, have never experienced.
