I am going to run an evil campaign with my group, yet i have large problems finding any online/in stores etc.

Sure i can make one, but that would take time i dont have.

We are currently running the good old 3.5 game, but i accept any form of campaign you got as its not that hard to downscale/upscale it.

Either if you know a campaignbook that i can get or if you yourself have made please tell me.

Jul 13, 2009 10:10:42 Most of the published adventures aren't geared towards an evil party but you can easily modify the plot and motivations of most of those adventures to suit your needs. My players in the Keep on the Shadowfell were running an evil party. Instead of trying to save Winterhaven they instead we're securing the nearby Keep as their base of operations to subjugate Winterhaven through. Only a slight twist on the premise and all the encounters, maps, and loot stayed the same.

Jul 13, 2009 10:37:30 Yes, we have explored that idea too. But i often feel that a party of evil-doers meeting paladins and getting gear/info/quests in a town would brake with quite a lot in a modified campaign.

Feks; How they get the info is a small modification from good towards evil so that is easy. But they want a bit more.. complicated. Like eradicating a Tyr-stronghold or Condemming a good-doer to hell. Or even something as simple as getting the brokenup pieces of an item, some guarded by good temples, some guarded by mighty good creatures, gather theese and set a deadly evil loose on the world.

Jul 13, 2009 12:21:39 This is like beating a dead donkey but pretty much just redress stuff. I'm sure you've heard the "steal ideas" mantra that's been going around. Heck a player and I talked about redressing D&D as Warhammer 40k (yes with no change to the rules). But I'll give another example with the keep on the Shadowfell as a potential.

You could redress the keep in to a temple... maybe a tyr temple like you suggested. You could use the same enemy stat blocks and redress them or remove and replace some of the monsters that don't fit- with ones that have similiar roles which will fit. The portal at the end of the module doesn't need to be closed it needs to be opened.

Jul 13, 2009 17:21:53 hmm... simple, yet quite genius..

It would need a bit of fixing on the quests and sutch, but nothing that would take more than a day.. i will try that and see what problems i encounter.
