| Baba Yaga's Dancing Hut | 14 | Site Based | 4-8 sessions | 3 | Wow this looks awesome, it's the largest adventure the new Dungeon Magazine has published. It's 56 page mega-adventure.It offers a magical place full of exploration. This one is different than the usual linear adventure. The DM or players can choose one of several missions and enter the hut to accomplish them. It allows for much re-playability. The length is also extremely dependant on what mission. So ask the DM for an estimate of how many sessions. Baba Yaga is based upon the eponymous cannibalistic hag in Slavic legend. She cooks children, causes storms, and traverses the country with Death at her side. Some say she is a spirit of the forest. Some say she protects the waters of life. She flies through the sky in a mortar and pestle, carrying a club that turns men to stone. Baba Yaga lives in a mobile hut which travels via a pair of massive chicken legs jutting from its underside. The hut is far larger on the inside than its exterior size would indicate, because it has been built around a tesseract. Baba Yaga and her dancing hut have been a part of the Dungeons & Dragons® game since the early days, first appearing in 1979. “Baba Yaga’s Dancing Hut” is a reimagining of the 1984 Dragon magazine adventure, updating it for 4th Edition and incorporating changes that have taken place with the hut and its inhabitants. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-12-03 13:00:03 | Dungeon Mag | |
| Bark at the Moon | 6 | Linear Plot | 3 sessions | 1 | Dungeon Magazine Adventure. Part 1 and Part 2 probably take up 2-3 sessions together. Mist curls up from Silver Lake and spreads across the mountain valley, shrouding the land in a fog that seems resistant to the sun’s best effort. Out on the glassy water, one can just make out a dark smudge, a spot of land in the distance. Its mere mention elicits warding gestures and terrified glances; Wolfheart is a place cursed and twisted by ancient magic. When a wolf’s howl splits the night, all look with panicked expressions toward that tangled, fog-shrouded island. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-04-20 00:00:00 | Dungeon Mag | |
| Blade of Vengeance | 8 | Site-based Quest-driven | 5-6 sessions | 3 | This one is a tiny bit longer adventure, probably take 5 sessions. It is a Tolkienesque fairy-tale in an elven land. This one is special because it requires pre-generated characters. You all must be from the same elven\eladrin home-tree. All the players are related in some way to each other. Instead of the DM making characters for everyone, the players must choose a specific character whose name, family, and relationships are defined, but then the mechanics of class and powers are left up to you. Elorfindar - Elf - fighter/warden Tarathiel - Eladrin - swordmage/cha paladin/fighter Elandorr - Elf - cleric/warpriest/sentinel Elbereth - Eladrin - wizard/bard Melisander - Elf - rogue/assassin/avenger Shevarash - Eladrin - sorcerer/warlock/hexblade Baerithryn - Elf - ranger/scout Albondiel - Elf - hunter/druid/invoker Kendel - Gnome - sorcerer/roge/warlock/wizard Castor - Half-elf - anything Rolf - Shifter,Goliath,Genasi,Minotaur,Wilden - Warden You all start with mounts, horses You are famed fey champions.

Ahead, you glimpse a plume of smoke curling lazily into the sky. Dorneryll is close, and your mind floods with thoughts of home. Suddenly your reverie is shattered! The thin plume of smoke is gone, and in its place a column of red flame leaps high among the trees. | TSR UK | 2011-04-20 00:00:00 | ||
| Blood Money | 8 | Site-Based | 2-3 sessions | 2 | THERE IS VERY LITTLE COMBAT IN THIS ADVENTURE “Blood Money” is a caper adventure in which the adventurers work outside the law to pull off a major robbery. Good planning is essential, and the characters need to stay cool under pressure. This adventure is designed for levels 7–9, and can be adapted for use in any campaign setting. This is written by Logan Bonner of "Slaying Stone" fame. It is an open-ended location based adventure. It requires a lot of effort by the DM to run since there are a lot of things to keep track of. Hopefully all that complexity provides a great experience. | Dungeon Mag | 2012-03-26 08:17:44 | Dungeon Mag link | |

| Courts of the Shadow Fey | 12 | Sandbox | 10 sessions | 4 | This is a 4E adventure, another of Wolfgang Baur's "Open Design" adventures. These were commissioned works of art by people willing to sponsor money for the authors. 'One guy's review': I've had an interesting time, game-wise, the last several months. Not only have I started exploring Pathfinder, but more relevant to this review I was introduced to Open Design. It's hard to overstate the effects of these discoveries on my games. I find it somewhat ironic that as I'm moving my groups more towards PFRPG, I've found my favorite 4E adventure to date. This adventure is the type of I wish we'd had early on. It combines action, intrigue, and exploration, and it has something appealing for all types of player. It unfolds a plot with deep hooks for role-playing for those inclined to pursue it; it adds a fascinating Status system that affects the party as they navigate the potentially treacherous courts; it has some great new monsters and NPCs to test the PCs prowess. It's been compared to Zelazny's Amber in some threads I read about it, which is one of the reasons I purchased it. It deserves the comparison. | Open Design | 2012-03-18 16:00:29 | Paizo Link | |

| D&D Encounters 1 - Undermountain | 1 | Linear in the extreme | 3 sessions | 2 | This is the first D&D Encounters season named 'Undermountain'. They are a string of difficult encounters, with a tiny bit of role-playing mixed in. They are meant to start off level 1 characters. There were meant to be 12, 60 minute sessions. That means they can probably be finished in 3 sessions. Spanning miles of caverns below Waterdeep. the City of Splendors. Undermountain is the deepest and deadliest dungeon in all the known Realms. To quote the famous sage Elminster. it is "the most famous battlefield in which to earn a reputation as a veteran adventurer-and the largest known grave of heroes in Faerun." It predates the city itself, having been built in and around the ruins of several fortresses and hold fasts including the Underhalls a labyrinth built by the dwarven Melairkyn clan. A legendary archwizard called Halaster originally built Undermountain along with his (original) seven apprentices. Halaster is as famous for his power as he is for his madness. He used the great dungeon primarily as safe storage for his magical treasures and as a testing ground for his various creations many of which he derived from extraplanar fiends and his own magical experimentation. When adventurers began raiding the dungeon. Halaster dug deeper leaving behind hordes of nightmare creatures and devilish traps to cover his tracks. He also delighted in watching the trials of would-be treasure hunters by magic sometimes inhabiting the very walls to spy upon intruders. | WotC | 2011-03-20 00:00:00 | Ask to be made admin and you will have access to the pdf | |
| D&D Encounters 2 - Dark Sun Fury of the Wastewalke | 1 | Linear in the extreme | 4 sessions | 2 | This is the second D&D Encounters season taking place in the land of Dark Sun named 'Fury of the Wastewalker'. They are a string of very challenging encounters, with a tiny bit of role-playing, but an interesting story to keep you going. They are meant to start off level 1 characters. All the characters should be Dark Sun races and classes only, this is strict! You should start with a "Theme" (see Dark Sun book). There were meant to be 15, 60 minute sessions. This was the longest season. That means they can probably be finished in 4 sessions. Leveling UP: During the course of the adventure you do gain levels. The module says to give the players "Inherant Bonuses" since magic is rare on Athas. You can find the checkbox in the character builder under "Manage Character" button. This gives 2nd level characters +1 to hit and damage, as if you had a magic weapon, even if you don't find one. Handling Death: Since these adventures are meant to be hard, frequent deaths are expected. The modules says to allow a Raise Dead, but you suffer -1 to every d20 roll until you reach a milestone. That seems a little too nice though, considering it's Athas. Players are strongly encouraged to bring a back-up character, starting at the appropriate level. ----------------------------- The world of the DARK SUN Campaign Setting is unique in several ways. Many familiar trappings of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game are missing or turned on their heads. Athas is not a place of shining knights and robed wizards, of deep forests and divine pantheons. To venture over the sands of Athas is to enter a world of savagery and splendor that draws on different traditions of fantasy and storytelling. Simple survival beneath the deep red sun is often its own adventure. Newcomers to Athas have many things to learn about the world, its people, and its monsters, but the following eight characteristics encapsulate the most important features of the DARK SUN campaign setting.

They are a string of difficult encounters, with a tiny bit of role-playing, but an interesting story to keep you going. This season was Essentials Only. You should only use Essentials classes. They are meant to start off level 1 characters. There were meant to be 12, 60 minute sessions. That means they can probably be finished in 3 sessions. Legends claim that dwarven-built Restwell Keep has been the fortress of a hobgoblin king, the home of an infamous bandit lord, a linchpin garrison of fallen Nerath, and the lair of a dragon. Indeed, the keep has been all this and more. At present, it is a faint but steady light struggling against a growing darkness. Its intrepid folk are in constant danger from within and without. | WotC | 2011-03-20 00:00:00 | Ask to be made admin to download pdf of the encounters. | |

| D&D Encounters 5 - Dark Legacy of Evard | 1 | Linear | 3 sessions | 2 | This is the 5th season of D&D Encounters. Released around the time as "Players of Shadow" and the sourcebook "Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond" with its despair deck. Given the fact that the adventure is set in a town falling under the influence of the plane of shadow, it was clear that I needed this tale to simply ooze atmosphere. Dark Legacy of Evard isn’t just a site-based dungeon delve; it’s a ghost story, and to solve the adventure, the heroes must slowly piece together the story of the haunting while doing their best to survive its effects. They are meant to start off level 1 characters. There were meant to be 12, 60 minute sessions. That means they can probably be finished in 3 sessions. | WotC | 2011-10-21 16:12:19 | Description | |
| D&D Encounters 6 - Lost Crown of Neverwinter | 1 | Linear | 3 sessions | 2 | This is the 6th season of D&D Encounters. Released to support the Neverwinter Campaign Setting. Lost Crown of Neverwinter immerses the characters in the factions, foils, and fiends of the city as they attempt to unravel a mystery surrounding the true heir to Neverwinter’s legacy and restore order to the ever-rising chaos. The Neverwinter Campaign Setting themes characters choose will come into play throughout the season, as their wits and loyalties are tested! Themes are permitted in this adventure. They are meant to start off level 1 characters. There were meant to be 12, 60 minute sessions. That means they can probably be finished in 3 sessions. | WotC | 2011-10-21 16:15:58 | Description | |
| D&D Encounters 7 - Beyond the Crystal Cave | 1 | Multi-Branching Plot Tree | 3 sessions | 1 | This is the 7th season of D&D Encounters. Released to support the Heroes of the Feywild Campaign Setting. "These Encounters adventures have been completely awesome so far." They are meant to start off level 1 characters. There were meant to be 13, 60 minute sessions. That means they can probably be finished in 3 sessions. Out of important components in the original adventure, Steven Townsend wove a true homage to UK1 with wonderful Feywild elements and hints of A Midsummer Night's Dream. He also had to come up with a story that, unlike the original, involved tangible villains and other interesting actors. When monsters threaten the placid village of Crystalbrook, it’s up to adventurers to track down where they’re coming from. Their investigation will lead them on a journey across planes. In the Feywild, the heroes must explore an enchanted island garden and unravel the plot of a foul hag, before she and her fiendish companion can perform a ritual to seize control of the island. It would be best if everyone played races and classes from Heroes of the Feywild. Some Pregens are here Fey "Themes" are permitted and encouraged. | WotC | 2011-12-16 14:40:09 | Description here Ask to be made admin to be able to download the pdf of the encounters. | |

Except, they say they MUST BE PLAYED IN ORDER. They are extremely linear and the later ones only make sense if played in order, and are also full of spoilers. It is produced by BaldmanGames.

| Dark Sun - Beneath the Dust | 8 | Linear Plot Based | 2-3 sessions | 1 | 2-3 Session length Dark Sun tale that has interesting back-story involving Defilers and Sorcerer Kings. It will seem short, unless the DM expands it by an encounter or two. There in the dark, something remarkable occurred. In the lightless, stale, barren cave, nurtured by the primal spirits and its own tenacious power to survive, the seed of life slowly took root. Forging its own nutrients from the stone, drawing sustenance from traces of water, it grew into a mighty tree. More life spread from it; moss grew on the walls, vines snaked through rusted weapons and armor, and the air became fresh. Characters seek a primordial tree of life, a prize of inestimable value to both preservers and defilers. It lies somewhere in the barren desert, under all the protection that the primal spirits can muster for it. Those seeking it will face monsters of the desert, undead guardians, thri-kreen raiders, and a ghostly protector on their path to the tree. And they're not alone; with stakes as high as these, there's bound to be more than one player in the game. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-05-21 00:00:00 | Dungeon Mag | |
| Dark Sun - Cruel as a Desert Wind | 6 | Linear | 2 sessions | 1 | House Tsalaxa uses various legitimate trade ventures to conceal its blackmail, espionage, and assassination schemes. Its representatives are feared for their ruthlessness—and for their ability to strike without mercy when threatened. However, Athas holds forces even more ruthless than House Tsalaxa, as a band of adventurers is about to find out. This should take exactly 2 sessions. Players should start with a Dark Sun Theme. | Dungeon Mag | 2012-05-15 07:22:00 | Dungeon Mag | |
| Dark Sun - Revenge of the Marauders | 6 | Linear Plot | 2-3 sessions | 1 | A cool Dark Sun adventure against a powerful opponent. This one is shorter, probably closer to 2 sessions. The raider lord Yarnath prowls the wastelands in his crawling citadel called Slither. A mobile fortress built from the animated undead bones of gargantuan beasts. Not long ago, Yarnath bent all his effort toward recovering an artifact fragment known as the Crown of Dust. But someone beat him to it. Yarnath did not come away empty-handed. Though he did not find the fragment he sought, his raiders located the crown jewel of the ancient artifact. This red stone, called the Blood Jewel, is the crystallized blood of an ancient primordial. With it, Yarnath might unlock the power of a being mighty enough to slay the ancient gods. Does anyone dare to oppose him? Some people might say this is a sequel, but it is not. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-06-02 20:32:10 | Dungeon Mag Link | |
| Dark Sun - Vault of Dorom Madar | 1 | Linear plot based | 3-4 sessions | 1 | To whet people's appetite for Darksun. Warning: this is like playing on super-hard mode. The harsh desert world of Athas will most likely kill you and no one will shed a tear since water is precious. It takes place in the Tablelands beyond the alluvial sand wastes. The adventure challenges the characters to find an ancient treasure lost somewhere in the vast desert. The characters, however, are not the only group seeking to uncover the long-lost fortune, so the heroes must not only find the treasure but return safely with it to the gates of Tyr. This is a great intro to Dark Sun. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-04-20 00:00:00 | Download Here | |
| Deadlands RPG | 1 | Various | Various | 2 | Deadlands is a game-setting that uses the "Savage Worlds" ruleset. The canonical, basic setting is referred to as the "Weird West" due to the juxtaposition of the Western setting with the horrific and fantastical elements of the game. The history of the Weird West is identical to real-world history, up until July 3, 1863. On this date in the fictional universe, a group of American Indians from various tribes, led by a Sioux shaman known as "Raven," performed a ritual in an effort to drive out the European settlers. This ritual created a conduit to a spiritual realm populated by powerful malicious entities known as the "Reckoners." The events surrounding and immediately subsequent to Raven's ritual is known as "The Reckoning." The Reckoners feed on negative emotions, particularly fear. The ultimate goal of the Reckoners is to turn the entire Earth into an evil, haunted wasteland — literally a Hell on Earth. However, the Reckoners cannot directly enter Earth's realm unless the overall fear level of the entire planet becomes sufficiently high. The unleashing of the Reckoners has had a number of important side effects. Magic was revealed to be real, although it involves challenging otherworldly spirits, "manitous", in contests that are either viewed as a negotiation or a test of will. These same manitous can possess a recently deceased body and reanimate it, creating a "Harrowed". Harrowed beings are sometimes under the control of the spirit (which uses the opportunity to spread fear) and sometimes under the control of the deceased being. Scientific progress rapidly advances as the Reckoners support experimental designs that normally would not work. This progress drives the technological level of Deadlands from historical levels to a "steampunk" setting. Players take on the role of various mundane or arcane character types, including Gunfighters, Lawmen (such as U.S. Marshals or local sheriffs), Hucksters (magic users), Shamans, Blessed (those of faith), and Mad Scientists in an attempt to learn about the Reckoning and the mysterious beings behind it. The basic rules provide for characters and settings that could be expected to appear in the "Wild West" genre of movies and pulp fiction, and most of the in-game action is presumed to occur in the wild frontiers of the American West, or in barely tamed frontier towns like Tombstone, Arizona or Dodge City, Kansas. Gameplay involves dice, poker chips, a deck of cards, miniatures, and cowboy hats(optional). It might be the most fun if players kept their characters after each adventure after earning experience and money. We could use the honor system. There are tons of written adventures to explore.

| Dungeon Delve | 0 | Linear | 1 session | 0.5 | The original Dungeon Delve concept which appeared at the 1998 GenCon Game Fair aimed to turn D&D into a more competitive experience. Instead of cooperative storytelling and roleplaying, in which the DM takes on a more neutral role and arbiter and narrator, the Delves can be used to test the skill of both players and
the DM. It becomes an exciting game of survival of the fittest as adventurers enter dungeons and try to overcome the obstacles set before them. The first 4E delve collection was published in the Dungeon Delve book. It contains several masterpieces of encounter design. They are intended to challenge the players and force them to change the tactics they are used to. There are delves in that book for each level from 1-30. There are more delves published than the ones in the "Dungeon Delve" book. There are excellent delves in "Open Grave", "Demonomicon", "Draconomicon", and Dungeon Mag "Troll King lvl 11", "Coppernights Salvation lvl 1", and 9 Delves from the Delve Nights program that are as good or better than ones in the Delve book. Most of these delves are older and came out at the same time as the first Player's Handbook. The DM should replace any monsters that have subsequently been printed in the Monster Vault or MM3. Otherwise, the DM should adjust the monsters by adding half-level to all their damage and giving Brutes +2 to hit, Soldiers -2 to hit, and let Solos act twice and remove stun/daze between actions. There are also self-published ones from our new contest here Read More The DM should also state which level they will run. | WotC | 2011-10-23 10:40:44 | Description | |
| Eberron - Heart of the Forbidden Forge | 7 | Plot based | 4-5 session | 2 | "Heart of the Forbidden Forge" is set in the Eberron campaign setting. The PCs learn of a creation forge that was once buried and abandoned, but no longer. They'll need to fight their way through goblins, constructs, and undead, and contend with old traps before finally meeting the true power behind the forge. If the PCs have been through the events in "Seekers of the Ashen Crown," this adventure can be easily slotted after that one has concluded. The adventure works fine for other PCs as well, and it can be adapted easily to another campaign setting. The Kech Shaarat goblins have numerous schemes to unite the Dhakaani clans under the Bladebearer banner. One such plan focused on beating the Wordbearer goblins to an artifact called the Ashen Crown. A group of adventurers defeated the goblins in this quest, but other missions are moving forward. One involves the capture of a destroyed creation forge and the forbidden creature within it. The Bladebearers have an unlikely ally in this goal: an eladrin artificer working for the Brelish government. This probably takes 4-5 sessions it is longer than the usual Dungeon mag short crap they've been putting out. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-04-20 00:00:00 | Dungeon Mag download | |

| Forge of Fury - Dwarven Reclamation | 3 | Site Based | 5-6 sessions | 4 | When Odo Heavyheart was a dwarven child in but his fourth year, he was known as Odo Orecrusher, firstborn of Durgeddin (The Black) Orecrusher, master of the smiths of Khundrukar. One day, Moradin willing, Odo would rule his small but important clan as did his father and as had his grandfathers before them. In that fourth year his father Durgeddin, Odo, and a band of retainers traveled away from their ancestral home in the Stonetooth Mountain to see their lord, Sertu Axebreaker, and renew their pledge of fealty. Fateful was that trip, for in Durgeddin's absence, creatures from the depths, led by the wicked black dragon Nightscale, rose up through secret ways and fell upon the mine's weakened defenders. Great was the slaughter, and swift. Of the Orecrusher clan, only those who traveled survived that day. This unhappy band discovered its loss upon returning to the ancestral home, where the heads of their loved ones were impaled upon stakes outside the entrance that was barred against them. Great was Durgeddin 's sorrow, but greater still was his fury. Durgeddin 's mithril hammer burst the gates of Khundrukar and he disappeared into the smoky gloom, followed by his household warriors. Only Odo, aged but four years, and his nursemaid remained above. Sounds of distant battle reached their ears but were extinguished within the hour. In fear, Odo's nursemaid spirited away the child to a neighboring clan, where he was raised under a sorrowful name. As he grew in knowledge and might, so grew his pride, anger … and thirst for revenge. Thus it was that in his 85th year, Odo Heavyheart set out to avenge his clan and reclaim a heritage, and a name, that he barely recalls. To make this interesting, and personal, the adventure will be limited to Dwarf characters only. You all must be part of the same dwarven clan. This is a mission of reclamation, to take back your ancestral home. Odo is financing this expedition or one of you may choose to play Odo. | WotC | 2012-03-13 11:07:33 | Module link | |

| Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl | 16 | Site Based | 6 sessions | 3 | Another conversion from Chris Perkins of the classic Frost Giants adventure. Leagues East from the forest locale of the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief, amidst the tallest mountain peaks, is the stronghold of the Frost Giant Jarl. As frost giants have been among those who have been in the reaving bands, the party is to deal with them as they did the Hill Giants: death and destruction are to be meted out to the frost giants in the same measure they gave these things to the peoples below. Those members of the party who have participated in the raid upon the Steading should know by now that their most important mission is to gather intelligence as to what or who is behind the unholy alliance of Giant-kin. Any such information gained is to he delivered by the fastest means to the nobles sponsoring the expedition, while the party is to follow up clues in order to prosecute offenders. Any treasure taken is to be kept by the party; this is their reward for the perils they must face-and they are bound to face many in the weird ice caves and rocky caverns of the Jarl. The evil root is deeply grown here, far worse than among the Hill Giants. | Dungeon Mag | 2012-02-23 08:21:03 | Download Here | |

| Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan 4E | 7 | Site-Based | 5-6 sessions | 4 | This is a conversion of the tournament module Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. The original is rated as one of the best adventures of all time. Hidden Shrine's design intent was to test the skill and common sense of players. The design of the temple draws heavily on Mayan and Aztec/Toftec mythology and society. Unlike the Tomb of Horrors, Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, or similar adventures -- where you sought the heart of the dungeon to face its ultimate foe and hopefully collect your deserved reward -- The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan started with the tournament characters lost in the jungle and accidentally falling into the dungeon. Your quest was to find your way out, not go farther in. In keeping with the retro theme; This adventure should be limited to Essentials classes only. | WotC | 2012-01-08 14:37:38 | Description ask to be admin to download the mod | |

| Last Breaths of Ashenport | 8 | Plot based linear | 3-4 sessions | 2 | It stands a lonely vigil atop a remote northern shore, hunkered down against the terrible ocean storms. For most of the year, it sits alone, for trade in the region has decreased. If this were any other town, it would long since have been forgotten, or perhaps even abandoned. But this is no other village. This is Ashenport. Here, the fish are plentiful. Here, the crops grow and thrive despite the rocky soil. Here, the ocean offers up its riches willingly, like a bashful lover. The remote seaside town of Ashenport isn’t visited by many, for good reason. When the PCs arrive to weather a fierce storm battering the coast, they discover that something dark lurks beneath the town's pleasant veneer. It's up the heroes to discover the horrifying secrets of Ashenport. You probably need to like H.P. Lovecraft's story The Shadow Over Innsmouth to enjoy this module. If you don't get excited over the "Innsmouth Look" and want the usual monsters you might not enjoy this. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-05-22 00:00:00 | Dungeon Mag Here | |

| Lich Queen's Beloved | 24 | Site-Based | 4-5 sessions | 3 | Long ago, before many of the worlds known in the present day were born, the illithids ruled a vast empire known to some as Nihilath. The illithid empire held many worlds and even a few planes of existence in their tentacled grip. After a thousand years of engineering, they constructed an artificial world known as Penumbra, a vast disk that circled a sun, the planet's radius something like a hundred million miles. And of course the empire kept slaves. For thousands of years the Illithid worked on these slaves, genetically engineering them in tumerogenesis tanks to impart certain physical, spiritual, and psionic enhancements on selected slave-soldiers. The Gith, once thought to be humans, after thousands of years of slavery and controlled breeding, the illithid thralls were no longer recognizable as they once were. They were longer of limb, with skin the tawny color of old ivory and slightly pointed ears. The mind flayers trained the gith as a slave army that could spearhead invasions across planar boundaries. Then came Gith. Some say she was the personal bodyguard of a powerful illithid noble, while others claim she was only a lowly foot soldier and little more than a child. But her mental and physical powers were great, and her rage, hatred, power, and charisma was sufficient to guide the thralls to victory. The illithid empire was shattered by the slave rebellion (remembered by them as the Thrall Uprising). Not every illithid stronghold fell, but the ties that bound the empire together were broken, and even today the mind flayers have not recovered from that ancient war. They hid themselves away in the Underdarks of countless worlds, vowing to rebuild their strength and take vengeance against their treacherous former slaves, something they have not managed to do. Having won the war, Gith continued to treat her people (who would become known as the githyanki, a word meaning "children of Gith") as a conquering army rather than a free people. Having just won a war, she prepared to launch a new one, an Eternal Crusade that would exterminate every last illithid once and for all. While some githyanki were comforted by Gith's military discipline, others chafed against it. One leader, Zerthimon, was the most vocal of the dissidents. He claimed that Gith would replace the illithid tyranny with her own, and that though she had been successful in the past as a leader of war, she was unfit to lead the People in peace. He called for her to step down. Gith refused, but Zerthimon and his followers would not allow themselves to be ruled by a new tyrant. Having just won a war, now a civil war began among the githyanki, with Zerthimon's loyalists battling Gith's. During the civil war, an already wounded world was reduced to an uninhabited cinder. What happened to Zerthimon is a matter of dispute. Regardless, the followers of Zerthimon—now known as the githzerai, or "those who spurn Gith" retreated to Limbo. Meanwhile, the losses the githyanki sustained in their war were too great for Gith to continue her crusade, so they retreated to the conquered illithid settlements on the Astral Plane to rebuild their numbers to the point when they could exterminate both the illithids and the githzerai. Soon after, a wizard called Vlaakith began advising Gith in matters of state. It was Vlaakith who advised Gith to find allies to help their diminished people survive. When no god would treat with her and negotiations with the chaotic slaadi failed, she traveled to the Nine Hells to meet with Tiamat. Only speculative legend tells of what happened in this meeting. Gith has never been heard from since. The outcome of the meeting has been evident ever since. To aid the githyanki in their mission of conquest, red dragons would forever be the allies of the githyanki race. Ephelomon, consort of Tiamat, came to the Astral Plane alone and gave Vlaakith, whom Gith had designated her successor, a magical scepter that symbolized the Dragon Queen's acceptance of the pact. Vlaakith continued to rule as queen of the githyanki, and after her death her scepter passed to Vlaakith II, and thence to Vlaakith III, and so on until the reign of the current queen, Vlaakith CLVII. With a total of 157 queens since the illithid rebellion. | 2011-11-23 19:42:07 | Conversion here | ||

| Madness at Gardmore Abbey - Entire Version | 6 | Site-based non-linear | 12 sessions | 3 | This is the Entire Version with the DM running the entire adventure. It is estimated to take 12 sessions. This deluxe adventure takes heroes into the ruins of Gardmore Abbey, a monastery that was once the base of a militant order of paladins devoted to Bahamut. According to legend, the paladins brought a dark artifact back from a far crusade and stored it in their abbey for safekeeping, and evil forces gathered to assault the abbey and take it back. What the legends don’t tell is that this artifact was actually the Deck of Many Things, a force of pure Chaos. This adventure brings characters into the extensive dungeons beneath the ruins—dungeons that are warped and twisted with the raw forces of Chaos surrounding the cards of the deck. According to studies online it is completely non-linear, players can explore the Abbey in any manner they choose. This adventure covers levels 6-8 and is pretty long. | WotC | 2011-10-20 08:02:03 | Madness Link | |
| Mansions of Madness - Boardgame | 1 | 1 session | 0.5 | Mansions of Madness a boardgame that is adversarial: DM vs the players. Mansions of Madness is a macabre board game of horror, insanity and mystery for 2-5 players. Gather your fellow investigators and unravel the dark mysteries within before it’s too late. Based on the horror fiction of master writer H.P. Lovecraft, Mansions of Madness creates an engrossing new narrative every time you play. Each game takes place within a pre-designed story that provides players with a unique map and several combinations of plot threads. These threads affect the monsters that investigators may encounter, the clues they need to find and which climactic story ending they will ultimately experience. One player takes on the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The other players take on the role of investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact. Both the engaging plot and the stunning components will draw you in to a world of cosmic horror. The beautifully rendered modular map tiles show every intricate feature of the rooms you’ll search and the monster figures represent the otherworldly forces of evil in horrific detail. The bases for each monster figure even have slots into which you can insert that monster’s token, displaying only the pertinent statistics. All together, the thirty-two included figures, over 300 cards, over 200 tokens and markers and nearly 70 puzzle tiles,will help immerse you in a sanity-bending story of terrifying mystery.

| Midgard: The Lost City | 14 | Sandbox | 10 sessions | 4 | This is a 4E adventure whose lead writer was Logan Bonnor of "The Slaying Stone" fame. It is a sponsored "Open Design" adventure. The Open Design team writes adventures commissioned like works of art. The Lost City from Logan Bonner and Open Design manages to avoid the railroad and achieve that balance of a sandbox world combined with scripted elements and locations that experienced gamers love. Sandboxes far too often lack direction for the players, leaving them rudderless in an endless sea of details. Bonner and the crew at Open Design manage to offer a huge setting that weaves in location-based plots and overarching themes without making it seem boxed in. Ultimately, it’s about – you guessed it – a lost city. The city is in a large desert somewhere. There are multiple ways in and some definitely cool things lying in wait – from ghosts and mummies to a race of lizard people doing the same job they’ve been doing for 500 years… Giants, bugs, mindless slaves, and – oh yeah – a godling waiting to be reborn. And did I mention that the city was flying before it crashed into the sand? | Open Design | 2012-03-18 16:08:18 | Desciption and purchase link | |

| Pathfinder - Burnt Offerings | 1 | Plot Based in a location | 3-4 sessions | 2 | Some people say this is one of the best low-level adventures ever written. They say it epitomizes everything Paizo has to offer. What a great place to start off with the Pathfinder rules. The author is James Jacobs, and he is really good at writing events and characters that evoke strong reactions. It begins in the small coastal town of Sandpoint. In a time when rumors of rampaging dragons and massing armies of giants have everyone on edge, the people of Sandpoint eagerly anticipate the coming festival to commemorate the consecration of a new temple. Yet, at the height of the ceremony, disaster strikes. A band of goblins assaults Sandpoint, and it falls to the heroes to defend the new temple. In the days that follow, a mysterious malady that leaves its victims monstrously deformed and dangerously insane spreads through the town. The PCs must not only determine what’s causing this strange contagion, but also discover the sinister connection between the plague, the goblin attacks, and the emergence of a strange rune from an empire thought to be long dead. | Paizo | 2011-07-18 19:37:13 | Paizo Link | |
| Pathfinder - Cage of Delirium | 7 | Site Based | 4-5 sessions | 2 | Written by Goodman Games. It is a very scary horror themed adventure set in a burned down insane asylum. It even came with its own scary music CD to help set the mood. For decades, the ruined mansion south of town has been the source of furtive whispers and ill omens. While many have forgotten the night the sky burned red and the old halls fell to flame, all know that now its grounds are a dead place, where only fools and the suicidal dare tread. Yet those who do remember that fateful night nearly forty years ago can tell another tale: a tale of generosity, good intentions, and an unlikely romance, but also of jealousy, blasphemous curiosity, and demoniac insanity. The mansion to the south wasn’t just some fop’s manor house, they say, but a hospital - an asylum of the insane. Now the heroes must infiltrate the long-abandoned, fire-scarred, and cursed halls of Haverthold Asylum. Can they put to rest the spirits that still stalk the ruin’s halls? | Goodman Games | 2011-07-19 15:22:43 | Goodman Link | |

| Ravenloft (Original) in 4E | 5 | Site-based exploration | 4-5 sessions | 2 | The original Ravenloft module converted to 4th edition. Ravenloft is a classic Site-Based adventure where the party can freely explore the surrounding area and castle which are extremely well detailed and full of flavor. A perfect villain opposes them at every turn. Plus key elements change every time you play it. Ravenloft is a classic gothic horror story. Many mysteries surround Strahd, his castle Ravenloft, and the lands of Barovia. The dark forests of Barovia are filled with wolves and other creatures, making travel there quite unsafe. Far above the village sits Castle Ravenloft, Strahd's home and fortress. Every night thousands of bats fly out of the castle's towers to feed. It is said that sometimes Strahd flies with them. Certainly, Barovia will never be safe until all the evil in his castle is destroyed. No one knows what hides within the castle. Ancient tales tell of dungeons and catacombs deep under the castle. Other stories recall the great halls, treasures, and glory of Ravenloft centuries ago. Undoubtedly Strahd has installed numerous deadly traps since then. | TSR | 2011-01-20 00:00:00 | Description Ask to be made an admin and you can download the module and the conversion. | |

| Snake Bite! | 12 | Linear | 2 sessions | 1 | This was originally a solo scenario written for the D&D Miniatures Game. There was text the player was to read to himself and then run the minatures battles. It is so well written that it can be run as a simple 4E adventure. The descriptive text is really good, and each scene is pretty cool. The entire adventure takes place on two beautiful full color miniatures maps. Rain poured down steadily as the caravan pushed slowly through the jungle. Sweating, cursing men cleared a path for the carts and wagons struggling along behind them. The narrow trail was a shortcut, according to the wine-swilling toughs in the last border town. They told Merrain, the caravan owner, that he could shave fifty miles off the trip to Copperport by following the jungle road instead of skirting around. He'd be fine, they said, provided he stayed on the trail. Merrain even hired extra muscle in case of trouble from the jungle's denizens. But the trouble was the jungle itself. After the first few miles, nothing in this green labyrinth resembled a road or even a track. How could he stick to a road that didn't exist? It was late on the second day that the towering obelisks came into view. The white pillars rising from the greenery were jarringly out of place. Staring up at them, Merrain realized that the low hissing he heard was not rain spattering on leaves. (Why did it have to be Yuan-ti?) | WotC | 2011-11-08 12:26:18 | Free Download Link | |

| SOW - Last Breath of the Dragon Queen | 30 | Linear Plot Based | 3-4 sessions | 2 | Come on I know a lot of you might think: "I don't want to skip to the end of the entire Scales of War adventure path." But let me tell you, what are the odds you can ever keep together a group long enough to go through 30 levels? Not high. Plus, there are some absolute crap adventures in all three tiers of this adventure path. Chances are that group would get bored and quit halfway through, because they really do suck that bad. Plus each one is very compartmentalized, so much so that you can run them separately and not tell people and no-one would ever know there were linked adventures before and after. So anyway, just jump to the end which is absolutely EPIC! Fight Tiamat! The Platinum Dragon (Bahamut) has asked for help from the greatest heroes in existance. He senses Tiamat, the five headed dragon goddess of greed, envy, and wealth, who just recently lost a war for the Prime Meterial Plane is recovering. Now is the time to strike at her on her home plane of the Nine Hells. By the end of the adventure, the characters should have saved the universe, slain a god, and achieved their epic destinies. The characters travel to Tiamat’s lair in the Caverns of Fiery Splendor, where they face Tiamat’s most loyal guardians, then the Dragon Queen herself in all her five-headed might. They aren’t fighting a reflection of Tiamat, an avatar of Tiamat, an aspect of Tiamat, or anything less daunting than the actual goddess at the zenith of her power. PLEASE! Only players who have played at Epic before. Plus, the character they bring to this adventure must have been played at Epic level also. Epic can be very complicated and there wont be time to teach inexperienced people. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-11-24 15:00:00 | Download | |

| Trail of Cthulhu - RPG | 0 | Investigative | varies | 1 | F'ing creative Geniuses! That's who write adventures for Trail of Cthulhu! Trail of Cthulhu is a role playing game usually set in the 1930's. You can play "Purist" or "Pulp" style. Meaning you feel like normal investigators tryint to survive with wits, or machine gun toting heroes who still wind up insane. The adventures are written by some of the most creative minds alive on this planet. Just go read a review, any review, you will be converted. "Trail" is different from "Call of Cthulhu" as it uses Robin Laws' GUMSHOE system. The basic premise of GUMSHOE is that investigative skills (i.e., those you use to find or interpret clues) do not rely on a random chance for success. Instead, a character with an appropriate skill is guaranteed to find the core clues necessary for them to move forward in their investigation. Gone are the days where a single failed skill check would lead to a dead end for the party. Each character has a number of investigative abilities, representing their specialties and areas of knowledge. The goal is for the group as a whole to be able to cover all the important bases collectively. However, there’s more depth to the game than simply a “if you have the skill, you succeed” because each character has points assigned to these skills which can be spent to gain additional information in a scene. These secondary clues are meant to add more details to the core clues, providing insight in to the overall plot, revealing information pertaining to a side story, or perhaps speeding the investigation by allowing the players to bypass some obstacle, location, or requirement. But! that's not the important part, the important part is the authors who write adventures are amazing! | Pelgrane Press | 2012-03-18 19:33:04 | RPGGeek Link | |

| Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane | 14 | Site Based | 4-5 sessions | 2 | This adventure draws its inspiration from the tri-partite “G” series of modules written by Gary Gygax in the 1970s—a series that was later collected into a single adventure module titled Against the Giants, published in 1981 by TSR, Inc. The series pitted characters against hill giants, frost giants, and fire giants, but stone giants got the short end of the stick. This adventure gives stone giants their moment to shine.

| White Plume Mountain (4E) | 14 | Site Based | 4-5 sessions | 2 | This is the classic adventure "White Plume Mountain" converted to 4E. It is converted using some special rules by Bob Bodine in making it a "dungeon crawl". It means the adventure is closer to the old school way of things. Each encounter is not a perfectly balanced monsters of appropriate level. The encounters are smaller and more frequent. Some significant changes to the rules therefore must be undertaken. Such as action points are only earned every 5 encounters or upon achieving certain goals. Daily powers that last 1 encounter last over the next 2 encounters. Monsters get an initative bonus to ensure they dont get steamrolled, etc. This dungeon was made by the insane wizard Keraptis who descended into the volcanic mountain with a company of gnomes, and disappeared. It is decribed as: "crazy, over the top, pure fun", "the puzzle dungeon to end all puzzle dungeons", It was ranked the 9th greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004. | TSR | 2012-04-26 15:58:24 | White Plume Conversion You still need the original which I can give to you. | |
| Winter of the Witch | 22 | Linear plot based | 4-5 sessions variabl | 2 | An excellent intro to Epic Adventuring. The story is good, the encounters are cool. One of the most epic dragon fights ever. But, get ready for 2 hour fights, this is epic. Unseasonable cold has arrived in the land -- a winter of deadly fury. Crops have withered on the vine, and the people of the land are suffering. The strange new winter has continued to spread, inexorably creeping south. If heroes don't rise soon to investigate the deadly chill, more and more people could die. | Dungeon Mag | 2011-01-20 00:00:00 | Dungeon Magazine here | |

| Wrath of the River King | 4 | Sandbox Plot | 10 sessions | 4 | A 4E adventure written by Wolfgang Bauer's for his "Open Design" patronage sponsored publishing group. These were commissioned works of art by people willing to sponsor money for the authors. WotRK is a tale of greed, love and revenge, where the heroes start off trying to find the miller's wife, but quickly find themselves embroiled in a game of thrones amongst 3 factions of Fey. They end up making their way towards the castle of the River King in order to prevent a Fey attack on the mortal realm. The adventure is very flexible (sandbox style) and stuffed full of interesting skill challenges, combat and more than anything else, roleplaying encounters and opportunities. The Queen's Birch Fair especially shines in this regard and is so full of adventure hooks that you can probably use it basis for half a campaign. For the more combat-minded, there is plenty as well. Several of the encounters even look positively deadly. All in all, this is by far the best 3rd party adventure written for 4e. And not only is it a great adventure, but it is also an awesome inspiration and a must have for any DM who ever plans to bring his players to the Feywild. This one is under 30 encounters and around the same length as Keep on the Shadowfell. Some encounters are optional or can be role-played. | Open Design | 2012-03-18 15:50:29 | Description Link This one is not buyable, you have to ask me for it. |
