08-28-07, 06:07 AM I'm looking to run a campaign for a group (level to be determined) and I'm wondering if there are any Adventure books containing a good, old-fashioned murder mystery. Surely there must be one or two but I haven't been able to find any.

08-28-07, 07:01 AM Try the Dragonsfoot website: www.dragonsfoot.org for an adventure called Melford Murder. All the material on the site is for older versions of the game (I think Melford Murder is 1st ed. AD&D), but shouldn't be too difficult to convert.

08-28-07, 07:28 PM If you run an Eberron campaign, the way it is set up, you could run a murder mystery type of game from it. They contain a lot of feats that will help the party conduct investigations as well as plenty of places for the players to explore. Their is a 1st-3rd level encounter for the pcs to run as well in the Eberron campaign setting book.

09-04-07, 11:28 PM The classic 1st Edition module called Assassin's Knot irevolves around a murder mystery in the Lenore Isles area of Grayhawk. It used to be available on the WotC site somewhere I blieve (though it may have just been L1 The Secret of Bone Hill that was available).

The King has been killed and it threatens the stability of an entire kingdom. Who killed the king and why? Evil plots are working to overthrow the heir. Only the PCs can solve the mystery and save the kingdom. Fantastic final battle!
