05-08-07, 03:35 PM I'll be DMing a game with 4-6 friends at a Scout camp in my off time. I'll have a few hours every day (hopefully) but will have little time to write my own campaign. Are there any good prewritten campaigns starting at 1st and going up to 15th or so you'd recommend?

(I'll be starting with two hardcores and two to four noobs.)

Books Owned: Core Set, Weapoms Of Legacy, Races Of Dragon, Libris Mortis, Forgotten Realms Campaign Settings, Oriental Adventures Campaign Setting. This info may or may not help.

*EDIT* I forgot to mention I'll have around 2 months to play, so longer games are fine.

If you have the time to convert some stat info from 2nd Ed, Night Below is very good.

If no time... For 3.5 ... The new Undermountain book is coming out next month and (if it's like the Castle Ravenloft (also fits in well with the Libris Mortis) or Mysteries of the Moonsea (for the Forgotten Realms), which are also both possibilities) might definitely fill your needs.

On a smaller scale is the Red Hand of Doom (but I'm not sure it starts at 1st level).

Just to toss out some discussion.

05-08-07, 04:22 PM return to the temple of elemental evil is a great one if you dont mind starting the players a 3rd lvl. Nothing really needed for that beside the core books.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to look into that. I've got a nice game store nearby that sells used books, so I may be able to afford it.

I have seen these, but I agree, this can at least get people started and give me time to write if I don't buy a prewrite

05-08-07, 11:37 PM if you do go down the pre written, consider lords of madness, while billed as a book of abberations, its actually a book of over arching bad guys and offers general good tips, e.g. the differences in CR patterns of heroic adventures and a horffic ones.
