Which Adventure to Use?


Savage Tide Adventure Path


I am going to DnD Experience at the end of the month and I'm looking for an adventure to run. The last campaign I ran ended about 6 months ago and I ran STAP from beginning to end (with some stuff added in). I want to stay under level 8-9 so with those parameters which adventure would you choose to run from the STAP? I am leaning towards Sea Wyvern's Wake but wanted to get some ideas from the boards.

I figured why prep another adventure when I got the whole adventure path pratically memorized?

Nope. Here There Be Monsters. Without a doubt! That's where my group is now and it is, hands down, for DM and Player alike, the best adventure so far.

Here There Be Monsters seconded. Isle of Dread location. (The isle being one of the selling points of the AP really) Tides of Dread was my favourite but HTBM is a little more suited to stand alone play.

Otherwise CoBI (though that's above your level stipulation)


Plus, check over this board for a thread called "Olangru Creepiness." There's lot's of great suggestions there to make HTBM even better.


I can't seem to find my magazine yet, what level is HbtM?

"The PCs should be 7th level when they begin "Here There Be Monsters." They should gain enough experience to advance to 8th level by the time they reach the shrien of Demogorgon in Part Four, and to 9th by the end of the adventure."

Thirded!

Starting an adventure with the PC's washed ashore on a strange island seems like a natural fit.


Originally I wanted to use Sea Wyvern's Wake because I built the Maiden of the High Seas and wanted to use it. HbtM was definitely more fun to run though and with it being a con game vs. a normal campaign you could be ruthless with Olangru (I think that's his name)! I think I'll even make him large so I can use the appropriate mini!

Thanks for the suggestions!

You don't have a war ape kicking around? (I ended up with tons of those. They got a lot of use of the Savage Tide, particularly in Scuttlecove where I think I had all of them on the board at once)

I used the DDM Taer for most of my Bar-lgura, though I did advance Olangru to use the large sized mini as well.


I'm literally getting ready to have my group take on Olangru in six days. I was going to use the Bar-lgura fig and just say, “Nah, it’s medium … but it looks cool, doesn’t it?” Now I’m thinking I’ll advance him, too (Just for you, Tim). Thanks for the last minute suggestion, primemover.

Yeah, I’m using war apes for the three monkey-wives (whom I refer to as Mrs. Olangru 1, 2 and 3).

Well my STAP was anything but normal. I started with HtbM and my PC's were 10th level... Check out the Turbo Olangru thread for an idea of what they faced!

My groups actually assaulting Gaping Maw this weekend so I expect some more Obits monday!!! Now I just gotta find a good Demogorgon...

I would recommend the Demonic Lasher (02716) by Reaper, despite its high price. It is out of general distribution (so your FLGS might not be able to order it), but it can definitely still be ordered directly from Reaper.

There have been a couple of threads which have discussed miniatures for Savage Tide and/or demons and demon lords. This is one, and this is another.
