[Bluenose]

Would anyone be interested in playing some of the old "classic" D&D modules with me as DM? They'd be converted to 3.5 edition and might have a few changes from the original version because of this, but otherwise they'd be run from the book. Possible adventures might be:

Keep on the Borderlands
Palace of the Silver Princess
Castle Amber
Isle of Dread
Ravenloft
White Plume Mountain
Tomb of Horrors
Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure

If anyone has another favourite old adventure, or one they've heard of but never played, I would listen to other suggestions. If I don't own it myself I can probably get hold of it

Darn you, Bluenose. Time...

I'd love to. But who and what to do...

Btw I know absolutely nothing of any of those, so uh any information on those? Alignments/Races/Classes that work well. Ooh this could be a good time for my evil Abjurer...
Or my cleric-mage of Kossuth(or Akadi) who believes in the morality of slavery.
Or that paladin with a brain I promised to have somewhere.
Or my Druid of Talona.
Or perhaps a plain Fighter or Rogue, or that Cleric I've been dragging through NWN2.

Recommendations?

I hate to plug Classic Adventures, but if anyone wants to try these old modules in the BG engine you should try Classic Adventures.(see my signature for a link to the homepage) Blue Nose you might want to check out Egg of the Phoenix or To find a king+the Bane of Llwellyn. They are probably among some of the best modules ever made.

They're almost all basically straight dungeon-crawls.

Keep on the Borderlands - On the edge of the kingdom is a small castle-keep guarding the trade route through the mountains. Now that route is threatened by the kingdom's enemies the keep has put out a call for heroes. Unfortunately all the heroes are busy, but they have attracted a number of 1st level adventurers

Palace of the Silver Princess - What happened to the princess when the mysterious dragon-rider came? Enter her palace and lift the curse.

Castle Amber - You're trapped in the Castle trying to find your way out. Meet the family, some are insane, some are merely extremely dangerour. Find the key to escape.

Isle of Dread - Search an island far from the mainland in search of a plateau that holds the secrets of a lost civilisation...

Ravenloft - Count Strahd von Zarovich is having guests for dinner, and you're invited.

White Plume Mountain - Three famous magical weapons have gone missing. Go and get them back from White Plume Mountain, where demons are reputed to roam.

Tomb of Horrors - A tomb filled with deadly traps, lethal monsters, and great treasures.

Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure - Mysterious Maure Castle, a forlorn and foreboding place, is the deadliest location in the land. Deep beneath it lie The Unopenable Doors. No-one has ever passed through. Can you be the first?


There's a variety of levels among those, and there are others I can run. I'll try to expand on them a bit, and perhaps extend the list. If more people are interested then I'll ask what sort of level and type of adventure, then post a selection and perhaps have a poll.

It was Classic Adventures that had me thinking about this, among a few other things. I remember wandering around some of the areas with my PnP group, so it was great to do so again. I'd recommend it to everyone. I must download the new version.

Egg of the Phoenix. That's another that should be on my list of possible adventures. Travel to another plane and search for the egg

[Dirt_Squirrel]

I have never tried a play-by-post but it sounds like a lot of fun! Count me in!

In the near future we will include the Palace of the Silver Princess. Candella is one of the thieves from the original module. Do you need a copy of The Egg of the Phoenix?

[leahnkain]

If it was 1st ed or 2nd ed I might be interested.

[Bluenose]

I don't know if I could find my 1st edition rulebooks any more. 2nd would mean less conversion work though.

And thanks, but I've got Egg of the Phoenix somewhere. I just have to dig it out from the rest.

[leahnkain]

If it is 2nd ed, I might be interested. I would need some more details before deciding. CA has taken alot of my spare time. But this might be a good way to get new ideas for CA's NPC's.

[Menelanna]

Count me in too! Now I play that elven wizard I have been wanting to for a while! Either that or the cleric I want too.

I have never tried a play-by-post but it sounds like a lot of fun! Count me in!

This should be interesting.... just don't kill me okay.

Well, I won't *purposely* do *anything* to harm you....but you must realize the inherent dangers in undertaking such a venture and all...*laughs*

Now, who ever told you that *I* am an assassin? I am merely a simple woman trying to safely make her way in this oh so dangerous world!

[minotaur_in_maze]

I'd love to play by post!

Any chance of a Minotaur character being allowed?

Minotaur - Feel the authority of my horns.

Hi Minotaur!
Good to see you, watch out for that Menelanna however, she is really quite evil...what with those nasty arrows of hers and all!
Hope a minotaur is allowed, I could always use a big strong guy like you to protect lil ol' me!

[Solstice]

I'd love to give it a try, if you don't mind someone who's never done more than look over pen and paper DnD books and whatnot.

[Kellen]

Well Solstice, he's put up with me, who's barely done that. (Though the other day I saw a whole section of DnD books in the local bookstore. It was like Heaven, until I remembered I was(and still am) broke.)

Does 2nd ed have Prestige Classes?

Yeah, looking forward to it.

[leahnkain]

2nd ed has kits which I guess would be like a Prestige Class.

[Kellen]

Except you get them at the beginning instead of working up to them. *Nods* Thought so.

Well I suppose either way works, except I'm not clear on the class restrictions in 2ed. Personally I like how 3rd gives you more room for personalizing class race combos (C'mon a Gnome Paladin, a Half-Orc Barbarian Thief, a Dwarven Monk, and a Halfling Warlock. Not to mention the Elven Cleric/Rogue, and the Kobold bard...So much fun)
