I really like the Torrents of Dread ad-on to Isle of Dread in issue 114, especially combined with the goodies provided in "Exploring the Isle of Dread". Running Torrents as written, or possibly making it a little more challenging for higher levels as described in the sidebar, would provide a great epilogue to the original Isle of Dread module when the characters try to leave the Isle and think they're safe. Part of what makes this possible is that the original Isle of Dread was, in some ways, as much campaign setting as adventure module.
So how about that other David Cook hybrid campaign setting/adventure module? Dwellers of the Forbidden City? I would love to see an adventure for 7th-level characters that delves into the Yuan-Ti occupied quarters of the city (most likely underground). Every other "faction" of the city is well-described in the module but the original occupiers, the Yuan-Ti themselves, are conspicuously absent. Once the Bugbear chief is killed, the Bullywugs are exterminated, the Mongrelmen are dominated, the Tasloi are kicked down, and Horan and Kwairno are dead, there's nothing really left to do in the city, at least as written (except maybe getting TPK'd by the dragon).
Come on, I know one of you Dungeon authors has hand-scribbled notes from this module from back when you were twelve years old or something, describing the horrid temple of the Yuan-Ti. Bring it back to life!
Oh and yeah we need an updated isometric map of the city, especially a player's map.
I would love to see this happen! I've been thinking about this ever since issue #114 arrived in my mailbox. Now that I've graduated from school I'm going to go over my notes and ideas and submit a query to Paizo. I know that it is highly unlikely that a first time submitter would be allowed to play with a classic module from the glory days, but the motto of nearly every adventurer is 'nothing ventured, nothing gained.' We'll see what happens.
I love this idea. In fact, next to Night's Dark Terror, Forbidden City is my favorite 1e adventure.
I do, in fact, have pages of notes for expansion of the dreaded Forbidden City from my youth. Unfortunately none of them are very good, and inspiration has never hit me for anything better.
Kudos and good luck to you, Torpedo. Make it happen!
I too have old notes for the Forbidden City and AESO mentioned at some point a version of his own. There are probably thousands of different versions out there.
I too loved this module, though I think I6 Ravanloft topped it.
