Good 1st level adventure?

#1 Post by ToniXX »

I'm a part of a new FtF group and have been nominated to be the DM for the first game. We're playing 1ed AD&D and I'm looking for input on a good, first level adventure. Anything you can think of, from old school TSR to something new.

Any input you can give would be appreciated.

U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh is a fantastic startup adventure for a new group.

It is easy to DM and can be played alone or, if the group wants to keep the action going, it can be played in a series with the U2 and U3 modules as well.

Whichever you choose, have a great time!!! :D

Stuart Marshall's Melford Series, available for free download at DF is pretty good. Might be too basic though. I've always wanted to run Jim Kramer's Yrchyn the Tyrant module. It is a Tucker's Kobolds meat grinder and available at Usherwood Publishing.
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.
