My players would like to take over and run a castle with a samll town. I am looking for any products for encounters or adventure hooks and such.
thanks
I don't know if you are looking for a one shot game, or a campaign. If an adventure path is acceptable, then the Kingmaker adventure path involves the players setting up an entire kingdom over the course of it.

There is an old Dungeon adventure about taking over an old castle from a tribe of hobgoblins. I believe its called "The Inheritance". There is also one about a town, called "The Siege of Kratys Freehold" about defending a walled village against a large force of orcs trying to invade. Not sure if that is exactly what you had in mind or not. I will try to add Dungeon issue #s when I have a chance to look them up, unless someone on the boards knows the link to the Dungeon indexes.
They are both 2nd ed DnD, so you would have to convert, but they were both excellent adventures, that had great maps, timetables of the siege (for the 2nd one), etc.
One that I did in 2E that we took over a keep in was Night Below, but that was by no means the focus of the game at all. It was lots of fun at the time to do it though!
great stuff
thanks
Rise of the Runelords has the option to take over a remote keep halfway through it, around level 7-8 for the players. You could easily change up the adventure so the fort is next to sandpoint (the main city in tthe adventure path) and change a lot of the plot hooks from both before and after owning the fort to include the fort. Siege the fort instead, etc. And make it more central to the plot.
Try "The Gauntlet" and the Sentinel", a 2E 2 part adventure. There in no castle, but there is a seaside villa they can take and turn into a town. We did.
Just went and checked my "Gauntlet" and "Sentinel", and in The Gauntlet, there is a keep the PCs can obtain for themselves. Both adventures will need to be converted, pretty much just replace any monster, trap, and the BEEG with ones appropriate for your PC's levels from the Pathfinder Bestiary. You will probably want to update the magic items too (both the Gauntlet and the Sentinel have special powers, and will require some revamping. The story line can be followed as is. You may want to tweak some things though. You can find them at the site below.

The Siege of Krayts Freehold is not about a village. It is about a large farm on a hill. Resources available to the PCs are a lot lower than you can imagine.
