It's the same five players, so it feels like a home game, but we're using PFS rules. I'm loosely tying the modules together with some roleplaying so there's a bit more continuity. We just finished Curse of the Riven Sky last night, and we're having an great time with this campaign. Here's a list of the modules we're playing (very similar to ScorchedOne's list above):</p>
<p>1 Crypt of the Everflame
<br />
2 Murder's Mark
<br />
3 Masks of the Living God
<br />
4 Fangwood Keep
<br />
5 City of Golden Death
<br />
6 From Shore to Sea
<br />
7 Realm of the Fellnight Queen
<br />
8 Cult of the Ebon Destroyers
<br />
9 The Harrowning
<br />
10 Doom Comes to Dustpawn
<br />
11 Curse of the Riven Sky
<br />
12 The Ruby Phoenix Tournament
<br />
13 Academy of Secrets
<br />
14 Tomb of the Iron Medusa
<br />
15 The Moonscar
<br />
16 The Witchwar Legacy</p>
<p>The older modules are nice, because it's one adventure, one level so there's no need to worry about filling in missing chronicles (like in Dragon's Demand).</p>My "Module Madness" group has been doing exactly this.

Tis is something that I consider on of my weak points, but I know I'm better now than I was 100 games ago. Run the same scenario four or five times so you can get a better feel for how the same NPCs react to different party make ups. </p>
<p>Also pay attention to some of the basic rules of combat - concentration of fire, use of cover, targeting healers, etc. Think of how a PC (or group of PCs) would fight, and emulate that. </p>
<p>Building tension also makes for a more memorable encounter, even if its not really that tough. If an enemy has an AC of 13, and the fighter rolls an 18 to hit, try saying "You barely manage to find a chink in his armor!" instead of "You hit."</p>My suggestion to ramp up the challenge for your players is to run lots of games.
