Dungeon Crawls?


Advice

Sovereign Court

I am running an intro to Pathfinder campaign at my favorite hobby shop and and decided to modify an old module (from the other game) and give my players there first look at an old school dungeon crawl. The problem is they love it WAY more than the adventures I keep purchasing from pazio; I know that pazio must have some more retro based adventure, but I can't find them or find anyone who has played any of them. If there aren't any retro themed adventures on the market am I doomed to have to create all my own adventures for my players. They just aren't as happy with the store bought adventure I keep buying. What options do I have?


You could pick up some dungeon modules from "the other game" or a third party source. There are even some "megadungeon" modules out there that are essentially an entire campaign crammed into one huge dungeon crawl.


Paizo has some nice crawls. I haven't played any of the high-level ones, but i know that "First-steps part 2" is a crawl and that there are a few modules that are crawls.

Well, not a paizo product, but Purple Duck games is publishing a "megadungeion" for pathfinder. A few of us are trying it out in the pbp forum if you want to take a look at it there. They were offering the first level for free, doubt they still are, but that would let you get a look at it to see if it suits your group.


Goodman Games made a lot of what many people consider the classic, exploration-type adventures for the OGL (3.5). See here.

All the ones marked OGL are what you're looking for, and it's quite a list. They are compatible with Pathfinder with only the most minor of tweaks.

Silver Crusade

There's a great first level adventure set in Kaer Maga that's a really good dungeon crawler, but I cant remember the name right now.

I've never heard of megadungeon before is that a company or a product?

The Exchange

A "Megadungeon" is basically a really big dungeon, made to basically carry characters from level 1 to level 20. It's an overgeneralization, but you should get the picture. Levels don't necessarily have anything to do with eachother, there doesn't need to be some overarching story explaining it all. It's just a really big dungeon where your players get to fight bigger and bigger baddies as the progress through.


Then there's this. Always wanted to give it a go. 800+ pages, 16 full-color maps. Expensive, though.

Thanks for the help

This looks awesome thanks for the link.


There is of course the Dungeons of Golarion product, although its more inspiration than actual adventures. Plenty of places in Golarion for megadungeons.

Hmmm...

You could start in Kaer Maga (City of Strangers) with Godsmouth Heresy at 1st level as a good dungeon crawl and a good city for it. From there just crib pieces of various adventures to keep them going.


You can check the keep on the borderlands conversion thread. That is one of the classic big dungeon crawls.
