Crypt of the Everflame or Godsmouth Heresy?


Adventures


I am wanting to run an adventure before I start the Rise of the Runelords anniversary edition AP. Which of these two would you recommend? Looking for a pretty straight-forward dungeon crawl and these two seem to fit the profile.

Any suggestions?

Godsmouth definitely has a bigger story and deals with much bigger implications, such as the history of the church of Pharasma.

However, I think Everflame is simply more fun. It's an old-school dungeon crawl with a simple story that is actually a bit clever and fun. As a prelude to Runelords, I think Everflame fits better, since most of the themes of Godsmouth have nothing to do with the AP. However, Crypt of the Everflame fits the old-school adventuring style much better I think.

Also, Everflame is about as "straight-forward" of a dungeon crawl as it gets, as it's fairly linear in its progression. Godsmouth is one huge level that can essentially be tackled like a sandbox. There's no real sense of a "right or wrong way" to go.

In my case, my group proceeded to head straight for the BBEG within a couple of hours, bypassing most of the dungeon. It made the rest of the adventure a tad bit anticlimactic, but still entertaining.

Is it to cut your teeth as a DM, or to turn the PCs into a party before the first adventure?

For the first, I recommend We Be Goblins.

For the latter I recommend you dont, the first RL does a good job of bringing the players together.

Sounds like Everflame might be the way to go. We basically just want a fun adventure to do before we get immersed in ROTRL.

We'll put off Godsmouth for later. Thanks for the input!

get a copy of Burnt Offerings RoTRL 1 and begin your game with it. In June you can use the new Book.
Do not use an other Adventure bacause it will damage the first part of RotRl
